Product details
Overview
BUK9M10-30EX from Nexperia is an AEC-Q101 qualified N-channel logic-level MOSFET in LFPAK33 (SOT1210) package, designed for 12 V automotive power switching. It delivers 54 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, 10 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 5 V and 25 °C, 30 V VDS rating, and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature - enabling direct drive from microcontroller GPIOs in motor, lamp, and solenoid control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BUK9M10-30EX datasheet, BUK9M10-30EX pinout, BUK9M10-30EX application, or BUK9M10-30EX equivalent, key selection criteria include its true logic-level gate (VGS(th) > 0.5 V at 175 °C), repetitive avalanche rating, 2.46 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance, and LFPAK33 package's high-power density for thermally constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses TrenchMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with QGD = 5.5 nC and tr = 22 ns at VDS = 25 V. Its gate threshold voltage remains functional across -55 °C to 175 °C, with VGS(th) = 1.4–2.1 V at 25 °C and ≥0.5 V at 175 °C, ensuring reliable turn-on under extreme thermal stress.
The device integrates a robust body diode with VSD = 0.84–1.2 V at IS = 15 A and trr = 13.9 ns, supporting freewheeling in inductive loads. Its unclamped avalanche energy EAS = 28.3 mJ enables rugged operation in transient overvoltage conditions common in 12 V vehicle electrical systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage compatible with 12 V automotive battery systems including load dump transients. |
| RDS(on) | 8.1–10 mΩ @ VGS = 5 V, ID = 15 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables low conduction loss in high-current switching nodes (e.g., <0.8 W at 30 A). |
| ID (cont) | 54 A @ Tmb = 25 °C - Supports high-power actuator drivers without external heatsinking in compact layouts. |
| QGD | 5.5 nC - Low gate-drain charge minimizes Miller-induced switching delay and improves hard-switching efficiency. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 2.46 K/W - Junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour or heatsink for sustained 38 A operation at Tmb = 100 °C. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Extended junction temperature rating supports placement near hot components (e.g., engine control units) without derating. |
| Avalanche | Repetitive - Rated for repeated unclamped inductive switching events, critical for transmission solenoid and fuel injector drivers. |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK33 (SOT1210) is a surface-mount, single-ended power package with exposed mounting base connected to drain, optimized for high-current, low-inductance PCB layout and efficient thermal transfer via soldered copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Source (S) | Three parallel source terminals reduce bond wire inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt applications. |
| 4 | Gate (G) | Single gate input with low Ciss (939–1249 pF) enables fast, low-energy switching using standard logic-level drivers. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain (D) | Exposed copper pad electrically and thermally connected to drain - must be soldered to large PCB copper pour for thermal and electrical performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock per JESD47. |
| True logic-level gate | VGS(th) ≥ 0.5 V at 175 °C ensures guaranteed turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V MCU outputs even under full thermal stress. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | 28.3 mJ single-pulse EAS with validated repetitive capability - eliminates need for external snubbers in solenoid/motor flyback paths. |
| Thermal robustness | 175 °C maximum junction temperature and 2.46 K/W Rth(j-mb) enable operation in under-hood environments without forced cooling. |
| Low dynamic losses | QG(tot) = 12.2 nC and QGD/QGS ratio of ~2.1 support efficient 100 kHz+ PWM in DC-DC and motor control stages. |
Applications
| Engine Cooling Fan Control | Automatic Transmission Solenoid Driver |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: PWM-controlled 12 V brushless fan module in engine bay with ambient temperatures up to 125 °C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side or low-side power switch regulating fan speed via 20 kHz PWM, handling peak currents up to 45 A. Use Value: 10 mΩ RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <2.1 W at 45 A, while 175 °C rating avoids thermal shutdown during prolonged high-load operation. |
Use Scenario: Driving linear solenoids in 8-speed automatic transmission valve body with rapid duty-cycle changes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch controlling solenoid current with <20 ns turn-off delay and 13.9 ns reverse recovery time for precise hydraulic pressure modulation. Use Value: Repetitive avalanche rating absorbs inductive kickback without clamping diodes; 5.5 nC QGD ensures clean, jitter-free current transitions during gear shifts. |
| LED Headlamp Dimming Circuit | Start-Stop System Battery Disconnect |
|
Use Scenario: High-current LED matrix dimming in adaptive front lighting systems requiring flicker-free 1–10 kHz PWM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier and current sink in buck-based constant-current driver, switching at 500 kHz with minimal dead-time loss. Use Value: Low Coss (201–241 pF) and fast tf = 17.2 ns reduce switching loss and EMI; 30 V rating accommodates 12 V system transients. |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional main battery disconnect switch in start-stop systems managing 12 V supply during engine cranking and restart. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Back-to-back configured MOSFET pair (with external companion) providing controlled soft-start and fault-isolation capability. Use Value: 216 A pulsed IDM and 54 A continuous rating handle cranking surge; 175 °C operation ensures reliability during repeated thermal cycling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level automotive MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N3LLH6 | 30 V, 2.2 mΩ RDS(on), PowerFLAT 5x6 package, 175 °C rated but not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable only for industrial or consumer designs where AEC compliance is not mandated. | Select only if lower RDS(on) outweighs qualification requirements and thermal design permits higher power density. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G | 30 V, 9.5 mΩ RDS(on), SO-8FL package, AEC-Q101 qualified, but Rth(j-mb) = 3.5 K/W - 42% higher than BUK9M10-30EX. | Lower thermal performance limits continuous current to ~32 A at Tmb = 100 °C versus 38 A for BUK9M10-30EX. | Prefer when board space is constrained and SO-8FL footprint is required; accept reduced thermal headroom. |
Compared with STL220N3LLH6 and NTMFS4C09NT1G, BUK9M10-30EX uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 10 mΩ on-resistance, 2.46 K/W thermal resistance, and LFPAK33's superior power-handling in automotive under-hood locations - making it optimal for thermally aggressive, safety-critical switching where qualification and thermal margin are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is BUK9M10-30EX pin-compatible with other LFPAK33 MOSFETs?
Yes - BUK9M10-30EX uses the standardized LFPAK33 (SOT1210) footprint with pins 1–3 as source, pin 4 as gate, and mounting base as drain. All Nexperia LFPAK33 MOSFETs share identical land pattern and thermal pad layout, enabling drop-in replacement within the same voltage/current class.
What is the maximum safe operating frequency for PWM switching?
Based on its 5.5 nC QGD, 22 ns tr, and 17.2 ns tf, BUK9M10-30EX supports reliable PWM operation up to 500 kHz in hard-switched topologies and 1 MHz in resonant or zero-voltage-switching configurations - provided gate drive strength exceeds 1 A peak and layout minimizes parasitic inductance.
Does the mounting base require electrical isolation from the PCB ground plane?
No - the mounting base is internally connected to the drain terminal and must be soldered directly to a dedicated drain copper pour. Electrical isolation would compromise thermal performance and violate the device's Safe Operating Area (SOA) ratings; proper layout requires separation from adjacent signal or source planes per IPC-2221 creepage requirements.
Can BUK9M10-30EX replace older BUK9Y series MOSFETs in existing designs?
Yes - BUK9M10-30EX supersedes BUK9Y10-30E with identical pinout, improved RDS(on) (10 mΩ vs. 12 mΩ), and enhanced thermal resistance (2.46 K/W vs. 2.9 K/W). No layout changes are needed; verify gate drive timing margins due to slightly lower QG (12.2 nC vs. 13.5 nC) and confirm SOA compliance at elevated temperatures.
