Product details
Overview
BUZ31 E3046 from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode SIPMOS power MOSFET rated for 200 V drain-source voltage, 14.5 A continuous drain current at TC = 30 °C, and 0.2 Ω maximum RDS(on) at VGS = 5 V and ID = 9 A. It features avalanche-rated ruggedness, integrated body diode with 1.1–1.6 V forward voltage, and PG-TO-220-3 package for industrial motor control and DC-DC converter primary-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the BUZ31 E3046 datasheet, BUZ31 E3046 pinout, BUZ31 E3046 application, or BUZ31 E3046 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V V(BR)DSS rating, 14.5 A ID capability, 0.2 Ω RDS(on), avalanche energy EAS = 200 mJ (single pulse), and thermal resistance RthJC ≤ 1.32 K/W - all critical for high-reliability power switching in constrained thermal environments.
Technical Context
This MOSFET operates in enhancement mode with a gate threshold voltage of 2.1–4.0 V and supports logic-level drive at VGS ≥ 5 V. Its transconductance gfs ranges from 5 to 12 S, enabling precise current control under varying load conditions.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 170 ns, Qrr = 1.1 µC) and exhibits dynamic capacitances Ciss = 840–1120 pF, Coss = 180–270 pF, and Crss = 95–150 pF at VDS = 25 V, supporting efficient hard-switching up to ~100 kHz in non-resonant topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 200 V - withstands DC bus voltages up to 200 V in offline SMPS and motor drives |
| ID (TC=30°C) | 14.5 A - delivers sustained output current without derating below 30°C case temperature |
| RDS(on) max | 0.2 Ω @ VGS=5 V, ID=9 A - enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 9 A, reducing heatsink requirements |
| EAS | 200 mJ - absorbs single-pulse inductive energy during switching transitions without failure |
| RthJC | ≤1.32 K/W - allows direct thermal path from die to heatsink, supporting >70 W dissipation with modest heatsinking |
| trr / Qrr | 170 ns / 1.1 µC - limits reverse recovery losses and EMI in freewheeling operation |
| Ciss | 840–1120 pF - determines gate drive strength requirement and switching speed trade-off |
Pinout & Package
PG-TO-220-3 package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard through-hole mounting, and Pb-free finish compliant with RoHS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Gate (G) | Control terminal; requires ≤±20 V drive; low input capacitance enables moderate-speed switching with 50 Ω gate resistor |
| Pin 2 | Drain (D) | High-side switch node; electrically connected to metal tab; must be insulated from heatsink unless referenced to same potential |
| Pin 3 | Source (S) | Power return path; defines reference for gate drive; carries full load current and body diode conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Avalanche-rated operation | Guaranteed single-pulse EAS = 200 mJ supports robustness against inductive kickback in relay/motor loads |
| Low RDS(on) at 5 V drive | 0.2 Ω max enables direct interface with microcontroller GPIO or low-voltage gate drivers without level-shifting |
| Integrated fast body diode | trr = 170 ns and Qrr = 1.1 µC reduce switching losses and voltage overshoot during commutation |
| Thermal performance | RthJC ≤ 1.32 K/W allows >70 W continuous dissipation with 25°C heatsink, simplifying thermal design |
| Pb-free and RoHS-compliant | PG-TO-220-3 package meets environmental compliance requirements for industrial and consumer end equipment |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Offline AC-DC Power Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 120–240 VAC-fed universal motors in HVAC blowers and pump controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side N-channel switch in half-bridge configuration, handling 10–15 A peak currents with 50–100 kHz PWM. Use Value: Avalanche rating prevents failure during motor stall or sudden load disconnection; low RDS(on) minimizes conduction loss at partial load. | Use Scenario: Primary-side switching transistor in 50–100 W flyback converters for industrial instrumentation power rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch turning on/off 200 V DC bus at 65 kHz, synchronized with optocoupler feedback loop. Use Value: 200 V V(BR)DSS provides 20% margin over 170 V rectified peak; EAS rating handles leakage inductance spikes without snubber. |
| DC-DC Converters | Solenoid & Relay Drivers |
Use Scenario: High-efficiency 24–48 V input buck converter delivering 5–12 V/10 A to embedded control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier or high-side switch operating in continuous conduction mode at 200–500 kHz. Use Value: Low Coss and Crss minimize switching loss; integrated diode eliminates need for external Schottky in low-frequency synchronous rectification. | Use Scenario: Driving 24 V DC solenoids and contactors in PLC I/O modules with inductive load protection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-ended switch clamping inductive energy via avalanche breakdown during turn-off. Use Value: Guaranteed EAS = 200 mJ sustains repeated switching of 100 mH/1 A coils without external TVS; RDS(on) ensures <2 W loss at 10 A. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP20NM20 | 200 V VDS, 20 A ID, 0.12 Ω RDS(on) - lower on-resistance but higher gate charge (60 nC vs 45 nC) | Higher current capability suits larger solenoids; less suitable for thermally constrained PCB layouts due to higher Qg-driven switching loss | Select when higher continuous current and lower conduction loss outweigh gate drive complexity |
| IRF640NPBF | 200 V VDS, 18 A ID, 0.18 Ω RDS(on), no specified EAS rating - lacks guaranteed avalanche ruggedness | Acceptable in non-inductive or snubber-protected circuits; not recommended for motor/solenoid loads without external clamping | Select only where avalanche stress is absent and cost is prioritized over reliability margin |
Compared with STP20NM20 and IRF640NPBF, BUZ31 E3046 offers balanced trade-offs: verified avalanche robustness for inductive loads, moderate RDS(on) and gate charge, and proven thermal performance in TO-220 - making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial controls requiring field reliability.

FAQ
Is BUZ31 E3046 suitable for 24 V automotive applications?
No - BUZ31 E3046 is rated for 200 V VDS and optimized for industrial mains-powered systems (e.g., 120/240 VAC inputs). Its gate threshold (2.1–4.0 V) and RDS(on) behavior are not characterized for automotive temperature range (−40 to +175 °C), nor does it meet AEC-Q101 qualification. Use Infineon's OptiMOS™ series for automotive-grade alternatives.
What is the maximum safe operating frequency for BUZ31 E3046?
Based on its dynamic parameters (td(on) ≤ 20 ns, tr ≤ 75 ns, td(off) ≤ 200 ns, tf ≤ 80 ns), BUZ31 E3046 supports reliable hard-switching up to 100–150 kHz in well-designed gate-drive circuits with RGS = 50 Ω. Above this, switching losses rise significantly due to Crss-dependent Miller plateau effects and limited gfs linearity.
Does BUZ31 E3046 require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes - a gate resistor is required to dampen ringing and control dV/dt. For 5 V logic-level drive and 10–15 A load, a 22–47 Ω resistor is recommended. Lower values (e.g., 10 Ω) reduce switching time but increase EMI and gate driver stress; higher values (>100 Ω) slow turn-on and raise conduction loss during transition.
Can BUZ31 E3046 replace BUZ31 in legacy designs?
Yes - BUZ31 E3046 is a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant version of the original BUZ31, sharing identical electrical specifications, pinout, package (PG-TO-220-3), and thermal characteristics. No layout or firmware changes are needed; it is a direct drop-in replacement for new production and obsolescence mitigation.
