Product details
Overview
DMN68M7SCT from Diodes Incorporated is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO220AB package, rated for 68V VDSS, 8.0 mΩ RDS(ON) @ VGS = 10 V, and 100 A continuous drain current at TC = +25°C. It delivers low conduction loss and robust UIS capability, deployed in high-current DC-DC converters and motor control stages.
For engineers reviewing the DMN68M7SCT datasheet, DMN68M7SCT pinout, DMN68M7SCT application, or DMN68M7SCT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.0 °C/W thermal resistance, 72.9 nC total gate charge at 10 V, and AEC-Q101 readiness for automotive power stages requiring stable RDS(ON) up to +150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-gate silicon process optimized for simultaneous low RDS(ON) and fast switching. Its 4260 pF input capacitance (Ciss) and 198 pF reverse transfer capacitance (Crss) support efficient hard-switching in synchronous buck topologies with 30 V bus voltage.
The device integrates a body diode with 31.4 ns reverse recovery time and 30.1 nC QRR, enabling reliable operation in freewheeling paths of motor drives and backlight inverters without external Schottky supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 68 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; supports 48 V industrial bus systems with 20% margin. |
| RDS(ON) | 6.2–8.0 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables ≤0.8 W conduction loss at 100 A, critical for thermally constrained power stages. |
| ID (continuous) | 100 A @ TC = +25°C - Requires infinite heatsink mounting; derates to 80 A at TC = +70°C per thermal design rules. |
| EAS | 183 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy up to 0.3 mH load without failure; validated 100% in production. |
| Ciss | 4260 pF - Determines gate drive power requirement; ~73 nC QG confirms moderate drive strength needed for <100 kHz switching. |
| RθJC | 1.0 °C/W - Enables direct thermal path to heatsink; allows 125 W dissipation before reaching 150°C junction limit. |
Pinout & Package
TO220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), matte tin-plated copper leadframe, UL 94V-0 molded plastic body, and 1.85 g mass. Pin configuration verified per Diodes DS40859 Rev. 7-2 Figure "Top View Pin Out Configuration".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output / heat sink interface | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from chassis unless system ground reference permits. |
| Source | Return path for load current / reference node for gate drive | Low-inductance connection required to minimize VGS noise during switching transients. |
| Gate | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input; requires <1.75 Ω series resistance to damp ringing from 198 pF Crss coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% UIS tested | Guarantees single-pulse ruggedness to 35 A avalanche current and 183 mJ energy without screening failure. |
| Low Ciss/Crss ratio | 4260 pF / 198 pF = 21.5 - Reduces Miller effect, enabling stable 10 V gate drive without active clamping. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and Diodes "Green" standard (<900 ppm Br+Cl, <1000 ppm Sb). |
| Body diode QRR | 30.1 nC - Low stored charge enables efficient zero-voltage switching in resonant converters and reduces diode losses in BLDC commutation. |
Applications
| Motor Control | DC-DC Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-side switch in 24–48 V brushed DC motor drivers for industrial actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch handling bidirectional PWM current up to 100 A peak. Use Value: 6.2 mΩ RDS(ON) minimizes I²R heating during 100% duty cycle stall conditions, extending thermal margin. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series pass element controlling power-up sequencing and fault isolation. Use Value: 68 V BVDSS provides headroom above 54 V nominal Li-ion stack, while 1.0 °C/W RθJC supports rapid thermal response during overcurrent events. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP68M7F6 | Same VDSS (68 V), higher RDS(ON) (9.5 mΩ), TO220FP package (isolated drain tab) | Lower thermal resistance (0.85 °C/W) but reduced surge rating (EAS = 130 mJ) | Preferred where board space limits heatsink area but avalanche stress is low. |
| IRF1404ZPBF | Higher VDSS (40 V), lower RDS(ON) (4.7 mΩ), TO220AB package, no UIS test guarantee | Optimized for 12–24 V systems; lacks production-tested avalanche ruggedness | Selected only for cost-sensitive 24 V DC-DC where transient energy is clamped externally. |
Compared with STP68M7F6 and IRF1404ZPBF, DMN68M7SCT uniquely balances 68 V rating, 8.0 mΩ on-resistance, full UIS validation, and TO220AB mechanical compatibility-making it optimal for unclamped inductive loads in 48 V industrial and automotive subsystems.

FAQ
Is DMN68M7SCT qualified for automotive applications?
DMN68M7SCT is not pre-qualified to AEC-Q101, but Diodes Incorporated states that automotive-grade versions with PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing are available upon request. Standard units meet RoHS 3 and halogen-free requirements, and their 150°C maximum junction temperature supports under-hood thermal environments when properly heatsinked.
What is the gate threshold voltage range, and how does it affect drive compatibility?
VGS(TH) is specified from 1.3 V to 3.0 V at ID = 250 µA. This wide range ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs while maintaining noise immunity against false triggering in noisy industrial settings. Gate drive must supply ≥10 V to achieve rated 6.2 mΩ RDS(ON).
Can DMN68M7SCT be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(ON) (normalized resistance increases with junction temperature, per Figure 6) enables stable current sharing. Designers must match layout symmetry, gate drive impedance, and thermal coupling to avoid imbalance; typical derating is 15% per additional device beyond two.
Does the TO220AB package have an electrically isolated tab?
No-the drain is internally connected to the metal tab in the TO220AB variant. Electrical isolation requires insulating hardware (e.g., silicone pad + shoulder washer) between tab and heatsink. The datasheet explicitly labels the tab as "Drain (Tab)" in the pin-out diagram and specifies no internal isolation.
