Product details
Overview
BUK9E2R8-60E from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101-qualified N-channel TrenchMOS logic-level power MOSFET in I2PAK (SOT226) package, rated for 60 V VDS, 120 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, and RDS(on) = 2.2 mΩ (typ) at VGS = 5 V and Tj = 25 °C. It serves as a high-current, thermally robust switching element in automotive 12 V systems including start-stop micro-hybrid control and transmission actuation.
For engineers reviewing the BUK9E2R8-60E datasheet, BUK9E2R8-60E pinout, BUK9E2R8-60E application, or BUK9E2R8-60E equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal and avalanche performance, and real-world selection guidance for high-reliability power switching designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs TrenchMOS technology to achieve low RDS(on) 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 controllers. Its SOT226 package integrates a mounting base electrically connected to the drain, delivering Rth(j-mb) = 0.43 K/W for efficient heatsink coupling.
The device is fully rated for repetitive avalanche operation (EDS(AL)S = 655 mJ), supports peak drain currents up to 952 A (tp ≤ 10 µs), and features integrated source-drain diode with trr = 53 ns and Qr = 98 nC-critical for snubberless inductive load switching in automotive solenoid and motor control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V automotive battery systems under load dump conditions. |
| ID (continuous) | 120 A at Tmb = 25 °C - Package-limited current capacity enabling high-power switching without external parallel devices. |
| RDS(on) | 2.2 mΩ (typ) at VGS = 5 V, Tj = 25 °C - Low conduction loss supporting <1 W dissipation at 20 A, reducing thermal design burden. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Extended junction temperature rating allows operation in engine bay environments without derating penalties. |
| Avalanche energy | 655 mJ (non-repetitive, unclamped) - Confirmed ruggedness against inductive kickback in transmission valve and fuel injector drivers. |
| QGD | 41.2 nC - Gate-drain charge value directly influencing Miller plateau duration and switching speed in hard-switched topologies. |
| trr | 53 ns - Fast reverse recovery time of integrated body diode minimizes switching losses in freewheeling paths. |
Pinout & Package
The BUK9E2R8-60E uses the I2PAK (SOT226) plastic single-ended package with a metal mounting base thermally and electrically tied to the drain terminal. This low-profile TO-262 variant enables high-power density mounting on heatsinks while maintaining mechanical robustness for automotive vibration requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Logic-level input controlling channel conduction; threshold voltage ≥0.5 V at 175 °C ensures reliable turn-on across full automotive temperature range. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main high-side power path; internally bonded to mounting base for low-inductance, low-thermal-resistance connection to heatsink. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return node and reference for gate drive; internal source inductance LS = 7.5 nH impacts high-speed switching stability. |
| Mounting base (mb) | Drain (electrically connected) | Primary thermal interface; Rth(j-mb) = 0.43 K/W enables >300 W dissipation with modest heatsink thermal resistance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated reliability for automotive applications including engine control, transmission, and ADAS subsystems. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | Enables robust operation in inductive load switching without external protection circuits in solenoid and motor drivers. |
| True logic-level gate | VGS(th) ≥ 0.5 V at 175 °C ensures consistent turn-on with standard 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers across full operating temperature range. |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports placement in high-ambient zones (e.g., near engines or under-hood ECUs) without thermal derating. |
| Low RDS(on) × QG figure-of-merit | Optimized trade-off between conduction loss (2.2 mΩ) and gate drive energy (120 nC total charge) for high-efficiency PWM control. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N6F7 | 60 V, 220 A, RDS(on) = 1.6 mΩ @ 10 V; requires 10 V gate drive for full spec; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Better conduction loss at higher gate voltage but unsuitable for direct 5 V logic drive or automotive qualification-critical designs. | Select only for non-automotive industrial 12 V systems where gate drive voltage ≥8 V is available and AEC-Q101 is not required. |
| IRF1405ZLPbF | 55 V, 169 A, RDS(on) = 3.3 mΩ @ 10 V; logic-level capable but VGS(th) min = 1.0 V at 25 °C, degrades significantly above 125 °C; no avalanche rating. | Limited high-temperature gate threshold stability and no avalanche ruggedness make it unsuitable for start-stop or transmission solenoid use. | Consider only for cost-sensitive 12 V consumer applications with ambient <85 °C and no inductive switching stress. |
Compared with STL220N6F7 and IRF1405ZLPbF, the BUK9E2R8-60E uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, guaranteed 0.5 V VGS(th) at 175 °C, and 655 mJ avalanche energy-making it the only option among the three qualified for safety-critical automotive power switching where thermal margin and fault robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for BUK9E2R8-60E?
The BUK9E2R8-60E is rated for 120 A continuous drain current at mounting base temperature (Tmb) = 25 °C, as limited by its I2PAK (SOT226) package thermal capability. At Tmb = 100 °C, the current remains 120 A due to package limitation-not silicon-per Figure 1 in the datasheet. Derating applies beyond 100 °C.
Is BUK9E2R8-60E suitable for 5 V logic-level gate drive?
Yes, the BUK9E2R8-60E is explicitly designed as a logic-level MOSFET with VGS(th) ≥ 0.5 V at Tj = 175 °C, ensuring reliable turn-on using standard 5 V microcontroller outputs. Its RDS(on) = 2.2 mΩ (typ) is specified at VGS = 5 V and Tj = 25 °C, confirming full enhancement at 5 V.
Does BUK9E2R8-60E have avalanche capability?
Yes, the BUK9E2R8-60E is repetitively avalanche-rated with a non-repetitive drain-source avalanche energy (EDS(AL)S) of 655 mJ under defined test conditions (ID = 120 A, Vsup ≤ 60 V, RGS = 50 Ω). This ruggedness is validated per AEC-Q101 and supports reliable operation in inductive load switching without external snubbers.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to mounting base for BUK9E2R8-60E?
The BUK9E2R8-60E has a maximum thermal resistance Rth(j-mb) of 0.43 K/W from junction to mounting base, measured under specified test conditions. This low value reflects the direct thermal path through the metal mounting base-critical for high-power automotive applications where heatsink interface dominates total thermal impedance.
Which automotive standards does BUK9E2R8-60E comply with?
The BUK9E2R8-60E is qualified to AEC-Q101 for stress testing and reliability, and designed for use in automotive applications per ISO/TS 16949-compliant manufacturing. Its 175 °C junction rating, 12 V system compatibility, and repetitive avalanche capability align with functional safety requirements for power switching in engine control, transmission, and chassis systems.
