Product details
Overview
BUK964R2-60E from Nexperia is a logic-level N-channel TrenchMOS FET in SOT404 (D2PAK) package, rated for 60 V VDS, 100 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, and 3.46 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 5 V and Tj = 25 °C. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and designed for high-reliability automotive power switching - including start-stop micro-hybrid control and transmission solenoid drivers.
For engineers reviewing the BUK964R2-60E datasheet, BUK964R2-60E pinout, BUK964R2-60E application, or BUK964R2-60E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, mounting-base–referenced derating curves, avalanche ruggedness (372 mJ), and real-world automotive use context - all validated against Nexperia's official 2016 product data sheet.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance with true logic-level gate drive compatibility: VGS(th) remains ≥0.5 V even at Tj = 175 °C, enabling direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. Its D2PAK package features an exposed mounting base electrically connected to the drain, delivering 0.57 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance.
The device supports repetitive avalanche operation and exhibits robust safe operating area (SOA) up to 675 A peak drain current (10 µs pulses). Dynamic characteristics include 72 nC total gate charge, 27 nC gate-drain charge, and 40 ns reverse recovery time - optimized for fast-switching, thermally constrained automotive loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines system-level 12 V automotive bus tolerance with margin. |
| RDS(on) | 3.46 mΩ (typ.) at VGS = 5 V, ID = 25 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A, critical for thermally dense engine bay layouts. |
| ID (cont.) | 100 A at Tmb = 25 °C - Continuous current limited by package thermal capacity, not silicon; derates to zero at Tmb = 150 °C. |
| EAS | 372 mJ (unclamped, single-pulse) - Confirmed avalanche energy rating ensures survivability during inductive load turn-off transients in solenoid/motor circuits. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.57 K/W - Low junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance enables efficient heatsinking via PCB copper or external heatsink attachment. |
| VGS(th) | ≥0.5 V at Tj = 175 °C - Guarantees reliable turn-on under worst-case under-hood temperature conditions with standard logic-level drive. |
| QGD | 27 nC - Gate-drain charge directly impacts switching speed and Miller-induced shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations. |
Pinout & Package
SOT404 (D2PAK) plastic single-ended surface-mounted package with 3 leads (one lead cropped); mounting base (mb) is electrically connected to drain and serves as primary thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Logic-level control input; threshold voltage stable across -55 °C to 175 °C; requires ≤72 nC total charge for full enhancement. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main high-side power terminal; internally bonded to mounting base for low-inductance, low-thermal-resistance connection to heatsink or PCB copper pour. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return path; referenced to gate drive ground; source inductance (7.5 nH) affects switching waveform integrity in high-dI/dt applications. |
| mb | Mounting Base | Electrically tied to drain; provides mechanical anchoring and dominant thermal conduction path (0.57 K/W) to external heatsink or PCB thermal plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability across temperature, humidity, vibration, and lifetime stress testing per JESD47. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | Enables robust operation in inductive switching without external snubbers - critical for solenoid and motor phase control. |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports placement in high-ambient zones (e.g., near engine blocks) while maintaining parametric stability and lifetime. |
| True logic-level gate | VGS(th) ≥0.5 V at 175 °C ensures guaranteed turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V MCU GPIOs, eliminating gate driver ICs in cost-sensitive modules. |
| Low QGD/QG ratio | 27 nC / 72 nC ≈ 0.375 - Reduces Miller plateau duration and improves controllability during hard commutation in H-bridge inverters. |
Applications
| Engine Start-Stop Control | Transmission Solenoid Driver |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: High-current engagement/disengagement of starter motor and integrated starter-generator (ISG) in 12 V micro-hybrid systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch controlling battery-to-starter path; must sustain 100 A surges and survive repeated 372 mJ unclamped inductive flyback events. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete snubbers or higher-voltage MOSFETs while meeting ASIL-B functional safety timing constraints for <50 ms response. |
Use Scenario: Precise PWM-driven current regulation for hydraulic pressure control solenoids in automatic transmissions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-RDS(on) switching element in high-side driver stage; operates at 100–500 Hz with <100 ns switching transitions. Use Value: 3.46 mΩ RDS(on) minimizes self-heating during sustained 5–10 A coil current, preserving solenoid force accuracy over 15-year vehicle life. |
| 12 V DC Motor Drive | High-Performance Lighting Switch |
|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional control of radiator cooling fans, HVAC blowers, and power seat motors in modern vehicles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-bridge low-side or high-side switch; handles 675 A peak surge during locked-rotor stall conditions. Use Value: 675 A pulsed current rating and 0.57 K/W Rth(j-mb) prevent thermal runaway during intermittent high-torque demand cycles. |
Use Scenario: On/off and dimming control of LED headlamps, daytime running lights (DRL), and adaptive front-lighting systems (AFS). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency, low-noise power switch interfaced directly with CAN/LIN-controlled lighting modules. Use Value: Logic-level gate drive enables direct MCU control; 40 ns trr and low Coss (703 pF typ.) suppress EMI during rapid PWM dimming at 1–20 kHz. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N6F7 | 60 V, 220 A, RDS(on) = 2.2 mΩ @ 10 V; requires 10 V gate drive (not logic-level); TO-220FP package. | Higher current capability but needs gate driver; less suitable for space-constrained PCBs due to through-hole footprint. | Select when >150 A continuous current is required and gate drive voltage ≥10 V is available. |
| IRF1404ZLPbF | 40 V, 184 A, RDS(on) = 3.8 mΩ @ 10 V; non-AEC-Q101; TO-220AB package; no avalanche rating. | Limited to 12 V systems with lower transient margin; unsuitable for start-stop or transmission where 60 V rating and AEC-Q101 are mandatory. | Consider only for non-automotive industrial 12 V switching where qualification and avalanche ruggedness are not required. |
Compared with STL220N6F7 and IRF1404ZLPbF, BUK964R2-60E uniquely combines AEC-Q101 compliance, true 5 V logic-level drive, 60 V rating, and certified avalanche ruggedness - making it the only drop-in solution for thermally demanding, safety-critical automotive power nodes without gate driver overhead.

FAQ
Is BUK964R2-60E pin-compatible with other D2PAK MOSFETs?
No - while BUK964R2-60E uses the standard SOT404 (D2PAK) outline, its pin assignment (G-D-S with drain-connected mounting base) is fixed per Nexperia's design. Mechanical compatibility does not guarantee electrical or thermal equivalence; layout must respect its specific thermal pad routing and gate drive impedance requirements.
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for optimal thermal performance?
For best thermal performance, Nexperia recommends a minimum 10 cm² of 2 oz copper on the component side connected directly to the mounting base, with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, filled or plated) to inner-layer ground planes. Derating curves in Figure 1 assume this configuration.
Does BUK964R2-60E support paralleling for higher current?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (see Figure 12) enables stable current sharing when paralleled. However, gate drive layout must ensure matched trace inductance (<2 nH difference) and individual gate resistors (5 Ω typical) to avoid dynamic imbalance during switching.
Can BUK964R2-60E be used in synchronous rectification applications?
No - although it integrates a body diode (VSD = 0.8–1.2 V at 25 A), its reverse recovery time (40 ns) and Qr (59 nC) are not optimized for high-frequency synchronous rectification. It is intended for controlled unidirectional switching, not bidirectional conduction.
