Product details
Overview
BUK9M6R7-40HX from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified N-channel logic-level MOSFET in LFPAK33 (SOT1210) package, rated for 40 V VDS, 6.7 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, and 50 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C. It delivers high power density in 12 V automotive systems including body control modules and LED lighting drivers.
For engineers reviewing the BUK9M6R7-40HX datasheet, BUK9M6R7-40HX pinout, BUK9M6R7-40HX application, or BUK9M6R7-40HX equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification to 175 °C, repetitive avalanche rating, gull-wing lead geometry for AOI compatibility, and thermal resistance of 2.09 K/W from junction to mounting base.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Trench 9 superjunction technology to achieve low conduction losses and high power density while maintaining robust switching performance. Its LFPAK33 copper clip construction enhances thermal transfer and mechanical reliability over standard SO8 packages.
The device features a logic-level gate threshold (VGS(th) = 0.7–2.15 V), enabling direct drive from 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers, and includes a source-drain diode with soft recovery (S = 0.6 at dIS/dt = −100 A/µs) for reduced EMI in inductive switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; suitable for 12 V automotive battery rail with load dump margin. |
| RDS(on) | 6.7 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 20 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 40 A, critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| ID (cont) | 50 A @ Tmb = 25 °C - Validated continuous current under ideal heatsinking; limited by PCB copper area and ambient conditions in practice. |
| EAS | 28 mJ - Non-repetitive avalanche energy at Tj(init) = 25 °C; supports unclamped inductive turn-off without external snubbers. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 2.09 K/W - Junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance; enables >40 W dissipation with 85 °C temperature rise above board. |
| QGD | 2.5 nC @ VGS = 4.5 V - Low gate-drain charge reduces Miller-induced shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations. |
| VGS(th) | 1.45–2.15 V @ Tj = 25 °C - Logic-level threshold ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V MCU GPIO, eliminating level-shifter need. |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK33 (SOT1210) is a surface-mount, copper-clip package with gull-wing leads and an exposed mounting base electrically connected to the drain. Its 0.65 mm pitch and 3.2 × 2.0 mm footprint enable high-density layout and superior thermal performance versus SO8.
| 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 0.8 Ω typical gate resistance; optimized for 5 Ω external gate resistor to balance switching speed and ringing. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain (D) | Exposed copper pad tied internally to drain; serves as primary thermal path and high-current return node for PCB copper pour. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified to 175 °C | Validated for under-hood automotive environments including engine control units and transmission modules. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Withstands repeated inductive energy dumps without degradation-enables simplified protection in motor drive and solenoid control. |
| Gull-wing leads | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) and improves solder joint reliability vs. J-lead or QFN packages. |
| Trench 9 superjunction architecture | Delivers 30 % lower RDS(on) × QG figure-of-merit than prior-generation TrenchMOS, reducing switching + conduction losses. |
| Soft-recovery source-drain diode | S = 0.6 ensures controlled reverse recovery with minimal voltage overshoot and EMI generation in buck or H-bridge topologies. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40 V, 2.2 mΩ RDS(on), PowerFLAT 5×6 package, higher capacitance (Ciss = 3900 pF) | Better conduction loss but slower switching; requires larger gate driver due to higher QG (45 nC) | Select when thermal budget dominates over switching frequency; avoid in >200 kHz converters due to increased switching loss. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS5C670NL | 40 V, 5.2 mΩ RDS(on), SO-8 package, non-automotive grade (no AEC-Q101) | Lacks automotive qualification and avalanche rating; lower thermal performance (Rth(j-a) ≈ 50 K/W) | Acceptable only for non-safety-critical cabin electronics with full thermal derating and external avalanche protection. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and NTMFS5C670NL, BUK9M6R7-40HX uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 6.7 mΩ conduction loss, and 2.5 nC QGD for high-frequency automotive switching-making it optimal for space- and reliability-constrained 12 V systems where qualification and EMI control are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for BUK9M6R7-40HX under real-world PCB conditions?
The datasheet specifies 50 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C with ideal heatsinking. In actual designs, this is limited by PCB copper area, ambient temperature, and airflow. With 2 oz copper and 10 cm² thermal pad, expect 25–35 A continuous operation before exceeding 150 °C junction temperature.
Does BUK9M6R7-40HX require a gate driver IC for 3.3 V MCU control?
No. Its VGS(th) range (0.7–2.15 V at 25 °C) and logic-level enhancement allow direct drive from 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO pins. However, a 5 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing and limit peak gate current during fast switching.
How does the LFPAK33 package compare thermally to standard SO-8 for this MOSFET?
LFPAK33 delivers 2.09 K/W Rth(j-mb), nearly 3× better than SO-8's typical 6 K/W Rth(j-a). The exposed mounting base provides a low-impedance thermal path directly to the PCB copper pour, enabling >2× higher power dissipation in the same footprint without added heatsinks.
Is the source-drain diode suitable for freewheeling in a buck converter?
Yes-the diode is rated for 50 A continuous forward current and exhibits soft recovery (S = 0.6), minimizing voltage overshoot and EMI during reverse recovery. It is fully characterized for use in synchronous rectification and freewheeling paths in automotive DC-DC converters up to 500 kHz.
