Product details
Overview
DMNH6042SSD-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 60V dual N-channel MOSFET in SO-8 package, rated for 175°C operation, with RDS(ON) = 50 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V and 65 mΩ @ VGS = 4.5 V, delivering 16.7 A continuous drain current at TC = +25°C. It is qualified to AEC-Q101 and designed for high-reliability automotive power management including engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the DMNH6042SSD-13 datasheet, DMNH6042SSD-13 pinout, DMNH6042SSD-13 application, or DMNH6042SSD-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175°C junction rating, low gate charge (Qg = 8.8 nC @ 10 V), 100% unclamped inductive switching capability, and SO-8 thermal performance under pulsed and steady-state conditions.
Technical Context
This dual N-channel MOSFET integrates two matched silicon die in a single SO-8 package with independent source, gate, and drain terminals per channel. Its design emphasizes low conduction loss (RDS(ON)) and fast switching (tF = 4.5 ns, tD(OFF) = 10.1 ns) while maintaining robust avalanche energy rating (EAS = 65 mJ).
The device features a gate threshold voltage range of 1.0–3.0 V and exhibits normalized RDS(ON) variation ≤2.4× across –55°C to +175°C. Its Ciss = 584 pF and Crss = 24 pF support stable high-frequency DC-DC converter operation with minimal Miller effect.
Key Specifications

| VDSS | 60 V - Withstands up to 60 V drain-source blocking voltage without breakdown. |
| RDS(ON) @ 10 V | 50 mΩ - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 14.6 A in typical automotive load switch applications. |
| Qg @ 10 V | 8.8 nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables efficient 500 kHz+ switching in synchronous buck converters. |
| TJ max | +175°C - Supports placement near hot engine compartments without derating in AEC-Q101-compliant systems. |
| EAS | 65 mJ - Sustains repetitive inductive turn-off stress in motor drivers and solenoid controls without failure. |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 16.7 A - Delivers high-current capability in compact SO-8 footprint with RθJC = 7.25°C/W. |

Pinout & Package
Package: SO-8 surface-mount plastic package with matte tin annealed terminals, UL 94V-0 rated molding compound, and moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (D1) | Drain of Channel 1 | Main high-current path for first MOSFET; connected to internal leadframe for low-inductance thermal path. |
| 2 (S1) | Source of Channel 1 | Reference node for Channel 1; electrically isolated from S2 to enable independent half-bridge or dual-switch topologies. |
| 3 (G1) | Gate of Channel 1 | Control input for Channel 1; requires 1.0–3.0 V threshold and 8.8 nC total charge for full enhancement. |
| 4 (D2) | Drain of Channel 2 | Drain terminal of second MOSFET; symmetrical to D1 but separate die-no internal connection between D1 and D2. |
| 5 (S2) | Source of Channel 2 | Independent source return for Channel 2; enables floating or common-source dual-switch configurations. |
| 6 (G2) | Gate of Channel 2 | Isolated gate control for Channel 2; identical electrical characteristics to G1 but electrically separate. |
| 7, 8 (Exposed Pad) | Thermal & Electrical Common Drain | Internally tied to both D1 and D2; serves as primary heat sink path and must be soldered to PCB copper for RθJC = 7.25°C/W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood use with temperature cycling, HTRB, and UIS testing per Rev G requirements. |
| 100% UIS tested | Each unit passes unclamped inductive switching at IAS = 3.5 A and L = 10 mH-ensuring field reliability in relay/snubberless designs. |
| Low Qg/Qgd ratio | Qgd/Qg = 20.5% - Minimizes Miller-induced shoot-through risk and improves hard-switching efficiency. |
| Green compound & RoHS | Halogen-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl), antimony-free (<1000 ppm), and lead-free per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. |
| SO-8 thermal bias support | Rated PD = 2.1 W with 2 oz copper thermal pad-enables >15 A continuous operation in automotive PCB layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMNH6042SSDQ-13 | Identical silicon and SO-8 package, but fully AEC-Q101 certified with extended test reporting (HTOL, ESD, etc.). | Required for production automotive programs needing full PPAP documentation and zero-defect traceability. | Select when OEM compliance mandates full AEC-Q101 certification-not just qualification-and audit-ready records are required. |
| IPD20N06S4L-13 | 60 V, 20 A, RDS(ON) = 4.5 mΩ @ 10 V, but single-channel in TO-252; no dual-channel integration or SO-8 footprint. | Suitable only for single-load applications; requires two devices and larger PCB area to match dual functionality. | Choose only if lower RDS(ON) outweighs board space penalty and dual-channel coordination is unnecessary. |
Compared with DMNH6042SSDQ-13, the base DMNH6042SSD-13 offers identical electrical and thermal performance but lacks full AEC-Q101 production documentation; versus IPD20N06S4L-13, it trades 15.5 mΩ higher RDS(ON) for integrated dual-channel control, SO-8 compactness, and automotive-grade ruggedness.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for DMNH6042SSD-13 at 100°C case temperature?
At TC = +100°C, the maximum continuous drain current is 14 A per channel, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the SO-8 package with standard 2 oz copper thermal pad layout and accounts for RDS(ON) increase with junction temperature.
Can DMNH6042SSD-13 be used in a synchronous buck converter as both high-side and low-side switches?
No-DMNH6042SSD-13 contains two N-channel MOSFETs only, with no integrated bootstrap diode or level-shifting circuitry. It can serve as dual low-side switches or one high-side + one low-side with external gate drivers and bootstrap capacitors, but not as a self-contained half-bridge.
Is the exposed pad (pins 7–8) electrically connected to the drains?
Yes-the exposed pad is internally connected to both D1 and D2 terminals and must be soldered to a PCB thermal pad tied to system ground or drain potential. It is not isolated and forms the primary thermal conduction path with RθJC = 7.25°C/W.
Does DMNH6042SSD-13 support 3.3 V logic-level gate drive?
It can be partially enhanced at 3.3 V (VGS(TH) min = 1.0 V), but RDS(ON) rises sharply below 4.5 V. At VGS = 3.3 V, typical RDS(ON) exceeds 100 mΩ-unsuitable for high-current switching. Use ≥4.5 V gate drive for reliable operation.
