Product details
Overview
DMN4030LK3Q-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 40V N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO252 (DPAK) package, rated for 9.6A continuous drain current at VGS = 10V and 30mΩ RDS(ON), qualified to AEC-Q101 and manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities for automotive power-management functions including DC-DC converters and LED backlighting.
For engineers reviewing the DMN4030LK3Q-13 datasheet, DMN4030LK3Q-13 pinout, DMN4030LK3Q-13 application, or DMN4030LK3Q-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40V VDSS, 30mΩ/50mΩ RDS(ON) at 10V/4.5V, 135ns body diode tRR, thermal resistance of 2.46°C/W (junction-to-case), and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This MOSFET operates as a unidirectional high-side or low-side switch in automotive power rails, supporting pulse-width modulated (PWM) control with 12.9nC total gate charge at VGS = 10V and 6.5nC at 4.5V. Its 604pF input capacitance and 59.6pF reverse transfer capacitance enable stable switching up to several hundred kHz in synchronous buck topologies.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (tRR = 135ns, QRR = 799nC) optimized for freewheeling in DC-DC converters. Thermal design is anchored by RθJC = 2.46°C/W and RθJA = 29.9°C/W on 50mm × 50mm 2oz FR-4 PCB, enabling sustained 4.18W dissipation under steady-state conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40V - Maximum blocking voltage across drain-source; defines safe operating range in 12V/24V automotive systems. |
| RDS(ON) | 30mΩ @ VGS = 10V - On-resistance determines conduction loss in high-current paths; enables ≤3.6W I²R loss at 9.6A. |
| ID | 9.6A @ TA = +25°C - Continuous DC current rating; derates to 7.7A at +70°C ambient per thermal limits. |
| tRR | 135ns - Body diode reverse-recovery time; minimizes switching loss and voltage overshoot during hard commutation. |
| Qg | 12.9nC @ VGS = 10V - Total gate charge dictates driver strength requirement; supports efficient 500kHz+ PWM operation. |
| RθJC | 2.46°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct heatsinking via drain pad for high-power density layouts. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Confirmed reliability for automotive applications including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per stress test plan. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO252 (DPAK), surface-mount, single-ended drain tab for thermal and electrical connection. Molded plastic housing with matte tin-plated copper leadframe, UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current-carrying terminal (connected to exposed pad) | Primary heat path and high-current node; requires large copper pour for thermal management and low-inductance routing. |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Common reference for gate control logic; forms low-impedance return path for load current and body diode conduction. |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring <13nC charge; sensitive to ringing-requires local gate resistor and short trace routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(ON) at 4.5V | 50mΩ - Enables efficient operation directly from 5V logic-level gate drivers without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Fast body diode recovery | tRR = 135ns - Reduces switching losses and EMI in synchronous rectification and flyback converter freewheeling phases. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | PPAP-capable with IATF 16949 manufacturing - Ensures supply chain traceability, change control, and failure rate compliance for automotive OEMs. |
| Green packaging | Halogen- and antimony-free, RoHS 3 compliant - Meets EU environmental directives with <900ppm Br/Cl and <1000ppm Sb compounds. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL10DN4LF5 | 40V, 10A, RDS(ON) = 28mΩ @ 10V; DFN3333 package (no exposed drain pad) | Limited thermal performance due to higher RθJA (62°C/W); unsuitable for >3W continuous dissipation without external heatsink | Prefer for space-constrained PCBs where thermal budget is low and peak current <6A |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C026NT1G | 40V, 11.5A, RDS(ON) = 26mΩ @ 10V; SO-8FL package with dual drain pads | Higher gate charge (14.5nC) increases driver loss; not AEC-Q101 qualified (only PPAP-capable) | Prefer when higher current headroom is needed and AEC-Q101 is not mandated by system safety requirements |
Compared with STL10DN4LF5 and NTMFS4C026NT1G, DMN4030LK3Q-13 delivers superior thermal management via TO252's low RθJC, guaranteed AEC-Q101 qualification for functional safety compliance, and optimized gate charge for efficient 4.5V logic-level drive-making it the preferred choice for thermally demanding automotive power stages.

FAQ
Is DMN4030LK3Q-13 suitable for high-frequency switching above 1MHz?
No-its 604pF Ciss and 12.9nC Qg result in significant gate-drive power loss and slower edge rates above 500kHz. For >1MHz operation, consider devices with <5nC Qg and <300pF Ciss, such as the DMN3029LSD-13, which trades off RDS(ON) for speed.
Can DMN4030LK3Q-13 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(ON) enables inherent current sharing. However, layout symmetry (matched gate and source inductance) and individual gate resistors (≥5Ω) are required to prevent oscillation and ensure balanced dynamic current distribution across paralleled units.
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for thermal performance?
Per datasheet Note 5, optimal thermal performance uses a 50mm × 50mm × 1.6mm FR-4 board with full 2oz copper coverage on one side. Increasing copper area beyond this yields diminishing returns; adding internal planes or thermal vias to inner layers improves junction-to-ambient resistance by ≤15%.
Does DMN4030LK3Q-13 support 3.3V gate drive?
No-it is not specified for reliable enhancement-mode operation below VGS = 4.5V. At 3.3V, RDS(ON) exceeds 120mΩ (typical), causing excessive conduction loss. Use logic-level variants like DMN3029LSD-13 (VGS(TH) = 0.6–1.2V) for true 3.3V-compatible switching.
