Product details
Overview
BUZ31L E3044A from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel logic-level SIPMOS power MOSFET rated for 200 V VDS, 13.5 A continuous drain current, and 0.16 Ω typical RDS(on) at VGS = 5 V; designed for high-reliability DC-DC converters, motor control H-bridges, and industrial solid-state relays requiring avalanche ruggedness and low gate drive voltage.
For engineers reviewing the BUZ31L E3044A datasheet, BUZ31L E3044A pinout, BUZ31L E3044A application, or BUZ31L E3044A equivalent, this part supports logic-level gate drive (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.0 V), delivers 200 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature with Pb-free PG-TO220-3 packaging.
Technical Context
This discrete power transistor uses enhancement-mode silicon planar technology with integrated body diode and avalanche-rated operation. Its gate threshold voltage (1.2–2.0 V) enables direct interfacing with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers, while its 1.32 K/W thermal resistance (RthJC) supports high-power switching up to 95 W at TC = 25 °C.
The device exhibits 1200–1600 pF input capacitance (Ciss) and 100–150 pF reverse transfer capacitance (Crss) at VDS = 25 V, enabling predictable switching behavior in hard-switched topologies. Its 180 ns reverse recovery time (trr) and 1.2 µC reverse recovery charge (Qrr) are specified under standardized di/dt conditions (100 A/µs).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 200 V - Maximum blocking voltage for DC-DC primary-side switches and 24/48 V industrial bus protection. |
| ID (continuous) | 13.5 A at TC = 28 °C - Sustains full-load current in motor drivers without forced cooling. |
| RDS(on) | 0.16 Ω typ. at VGS = 5 V - Enables <1.1 W conduction loss at 13.5 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| EAS | 200 mJ single-pulse - Withstands inductive turn-off surges in relay replacement and solenoid drive circuits. |
| tr/tf | 80–120 ns / 65–85 ns - Supports >100 kHz PWM in SMPS with controlled dv/dt and reduced EMI. |
| VGS(th) | 1.2–2.0 V - Compatible with 3.3 V GPIOs; eliminates need for level-shifting gate drivers. |
| Tj range | –55 °C to +150 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive auxiliary loads and industrial PLC output stages. |
Pinout & Package
PG-TO220-3 package with isolated tab (drain-connected); standard through-hole mounting and heatsink interface. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain, Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Gate | High-impedance MOSFET control terminal; requires ≤20 V absolute max rating and low-inductance gate loop for stable switching. |
| Pin 2 | Drain | Main high-side power terminal; electrically connected to metal tab-must be insulated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground. |
| Pin 3 | Source | Power return path and gate reference node; forms common source configuration with gate drive referenced to this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Avalanche-rated operation | 200 mJ single-pulse EAS ensures robustness against inductive kickback without external snubbers. |
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) ≤ 2.0 V enables direct connection to 3.3 V/5 V MCU outputs without gate driver ICs. |
| Low RDS(on) at 5 V | 0.16 Ω typical reduces I²R losses by >30% vs. standard 10 V-gate MOSFETs at same current. |
| Integrated body diode | 13.5 A continuous forward current (IS) and 1.2–1.6 V VSD support freewheeling in half-bridge configurations. |
| Pb-free PG-TO220-3 | RoHS-compliant leadframe and solderable finish compatible with standard wave/reflow assembly processes. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP14NK60ZFP | 600 V VDS, 14 A ID, 0.42 Ω RDS(on) at 10 V - higher voltage rating but requires 10 V gate drive. | Not logic-level; needs gate driver for 3.3 V MCU use; better suited for offline SMPS than low-voltage motor control. | Select only if >400 V blocking is required and gate drive voltage ≥10 V is available. |
| IRFZ44NPBF | 55 V VDS, 49 A ID, 0.028 Ω RDS(on) at 10 V - lower voltage, higher current, but not avalanche-rated. | Lacks EAS specification; unsuitable for inductive switching without external protection components. | Prefer for high-current, low-voltage DC loads where avalanche stress is absent and gate drive ≥10 V is assured. |
Compared with STP14NK60ZFP and IRFZ44NPBF, BUZ31L E3044A uniquely combines 200 V rating, logic-level drive, and certified avalanche capability-making it optimal for 24–48 V industrial switching where reliability under transient overvoltage is critical.

FAQ
Is BUZ31L E3044A pin-compatible with BUZ31L without the E3044A suffix?
Yes-E3044A is Infineon's internal manufacturing code indicating a specific wafer fab and assembly lot; electrical specifications, pinout, and package dimensions match the base BUZ31L designation exactly. No design changes or compatibility concerns exist between versions.
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for continuous operation?
The BUZ31L E3044A supports continuous operation up to +150 °C junction temperature (Tj). Derating begins above TC = 28 °C per datasheet curves; at TC = 100 °C, continuous ID drops to ~6.5 A to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C with RthJC ≤ 1.32 K/W.
Does the body diode support synchronous rectification?
No-the integrated body diode has 1.2–1.6 V forward voltage (VSD) and 180 ns reverse recovery time (trr), making it unsuitable for high-frequency synchronous rectification. It is intended for freewheeling and clamping, not active rectification; external Schottky diodes or dedicated SR controllers are recommended for that function.
Can BUZ31L E3044A be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its positive temperature coefficient for RDS(on) (increasing with Tj) enables inherent current sharing when paralleled. However, matched gate drive layout, identical PCB trace lengths, and individual gate resistors are mandatory to ensure balanced dynamic current distribution and avoid oscillation or thermal runaway.
