Product details
Overview
BUK964R8-60E from Nexperia is a logic-level N-channel TrenchMOS power FET in SOT404 (D2PAK) package, rated for 60 V VDS, 100 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, and 3.78 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 BUK964R8-60E datasheet, BUK964R8-60E pinout, BUK964R8-60E application, or BUK964R8-60E equivalent, this part supports thermally demanding 12 V automotive systems where true logic-level gate drive (VGS(th) > 0.5 V at 175 °C), repetitive avalanche ruggedness, and 175 °C junction operation are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance with logic-compatible gate drive, enabling direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. Its mounting base (pin 4, connected to drain) provides low thermal resistance (Rth(j-mb) = 0.64 K/W) for high-power dissipation up to 234 W at Tmb = 25 °C.
The device features integrated source-drain diode with 39 ns reverse recovery time and 56 nC recovered charge, supporting synchronous rectification and freewheeling in inductive loads. Avalanche energy rating of 273 mJ (unclamped, single-pulse) ensures robustness against inductive switching transients in motor and solenoid control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage compatible with 12 V automotive battery systems under load dump conditions. |
| RDS(on) | 3.78 mΩ (typ.) at VGS = 5 V, ID = 25 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID (cont.) | 100 A at Tmb = 25 °C - Package-limited continuous current suitable for high-current solenoid and motor drivers. |
| QGD | 20.3 nC - Low gate-drain charge minimizes Miller-induced switching delay and improves hard-switching efficiency. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Extended junction temperature rating enables operation in engine bay environments without derating. |
| EAS | 273 mJ - Single-pulse unclamped avalanche energy supports reliable turn-off into inductive loads without external snubbers. |
| VGS(th) | ≥0.5 V at Tj = 175 °C - True logic-level threshold ensures gate turn-on even under worst-case high-temperature conditions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT404 (D2PAK), plastic single-ended surface-mounted package with 3 leads (one lead cropped); mounting base (mb) electrically connected to drain and serves as primary thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Logic-level input terminal; accepts 3.3 V/5 V drive directly from MCU GPIO or driver IC. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main high-side power switch node; internally bonded to mounting base for low-inductance, high-current routing. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return path; referenced to system ground in low-side configurations or used as sense node in current monitoring. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain / Thermal Interface | Electrically tied to drain; provides mechanical attachment and primary thermal conduction path to heatsink or PCB copper pour. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability across temperature, humidity, and vibration stress profiles per JESD47. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | Rated for repeated inductive switching events without degradation, enabling robust motor commutation. |
| 175 °C junction operation | Full electrical performance maintained up to Tj = 175 °C, eliminating thermal derating in under-hood applications. |
| True logic-level gate | VGS(th) ≥ 0.5 V at 175 °C ensures guaranteed turn-on with standard 5 V logic, avoiding gate driver complexity. |
| Low RDS(on) × QG figure-of-merit | Combined 3.78 mΩ RDS(on) and 65 nC total gate charge optimizes conduction + switching loss trade-off. |
Applications
| Start-Stop Micro-Hybrid Control | Transmission Solenoid Driver |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One leg of dual-MOSFET half-bridge; switched at ≤20 kHz with 5 V gate drive from motor driver IC. Use Value: Logic-level VGS(th) ensures full enhancement at MCU output voltage, eliminating need for external gate boost circuitry. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive power MOSFET 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 for full spec; no AEC-Q101 certification stated. | Higher current capacity but not automotive-qualified; suited for industrial motor drives where qualification is not mandated. | Select only if higher current headroom is needed and AEC-Q101 compliance is not required. |
| IRF1405ZPBF | 55 V, 169 A, RDS(on) = 3.3 mΩ @ 10 V; TO-220 package; non-logic-level (VGS(th) = 2–4 V); no AEC-Q101 rating. | Larger footprint and higher gate drive requirement limit use in space-constrained automotive modules. | Consider only for legacy designs using through-hole assembly or where 5 V gate drive is unavailable. |
Compared with STL220N6F7 and IRF1405ZPBF, BUK964R8-60E uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, true 5 V logic-level operation, and D2PAK thermal performance - making it the only drop-in solution for new automotive power modules requiring zero gate-level translation and extended temperature reliability.

FAQ
Is BUK964R8-60E suitable for high-frequency PWM switching above 100 kHz?
No - while its QGD (20.3 nC) and Ciss (7.28 nF typ.) support moderate-speed switching, the device is optimized for 1–50 kHz automotive power control (e.g., solenoids, fans). Above 100 kHz, switching losses rise significantly due to gate charge and output capacitance values; dedicated high-frequency MOSFETs with lower QG and Coss are recommended.
Can BUK964R8-60E be used in a high-side configuration with 12 V supply?
Yes - its 60 V VDS rating and 175 °C operation make it suitable for high-side switching in 12 V systems. However, gate drive must provide ≥5 V relative to the source (i.e., floating or bootstrapped gate driver), as the device lacks integrated level-shifting. Standard high-side driver ICs (e.g., NCV8405) are compatible.
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for thermal relief when using the mounting base?
The datasheet specifies thermal performance assuming minimum footprint on FR4 PCB. For optimal Rth(j-a) (50 K/W), use ≥10 cm² of 2 oz copper connected directly to the mounting base via multiple thermal vias (≥8×0.3 mm diameter). Larger copper areas further reduce Rth(j-a), but diminishing returns occur beyond 25 cm² without forced airflow.
Does BUK964R8-60E include built-in ESD protection?
No - the device has no integrated ESD protection diodes. Per Nexperia's design, external TVS or RC filtering is required on gate and drain lines in automotive environments to withstand ISO 10605 ±25 kV contact discharge. Gate oxide integrity relies on proper handling and board-level protection.
