Product details
Overview
DMTH6009LK3Q-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 60V, 59A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO252 (DPAK) package, qualified to AEC-Q101 and rated for +175°C operation. It delivers 10mΩ RDS(ON) at VGS = 10V and 12.8mΩ at 4.5V, enabling high-efficiency power switching in automotive DC-DC converters and LED backlighting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DMTH6009LK3Q-13 datasheet, DMTH6009LK3Q-13 pinout, DMTH6009LK3Q-13 application, or DMTH6009LK3Q-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low gate charge (33.5nC @ 10V), thermally robust TO252 package with 2.5°C/W RθJC, and validated performance across -55°C to +175°C junction temperature range.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar trench-gate technology optimized for automotive-grade reliability and low conduction loss. Its gate threshold voltage (0.7–2.0V) ensures stable turn-on under wide supply variations, while the body diode exhibits 18.2ns reverse-recovery time and 33.1nC QRR for synchronous rectification compatibility.
The device's FOM (Qgd × RDS(ON)) is minimized to support high-frequency DC-DC conversion up to 1MHz. Thermal design is enabled by a 2.5°C/W junction-to-case resistance and 47°C/W junction-to-ambient rating on FR-4 with 1-inch² copper pad - critical for under-hood automotive modules where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60V - Withstands transient overvoltage spikes in 48V automotive systems without breakdown. |
| RDS(ON) @ 10V | 10mΩ max - Limits conduction loss to ≤6.3W at 59A continuous drain current on heatsink. |
| RDS(ON) @ 4.5V | 12.8mΩ max - Ensures robust switching with standard 5V logic-level gate drivers. |
| Qg @ 10V | 33.5nC - Enables fast 4.5ns turn-on delay and 8.6ns rise time with 6Ω gate resistor. |
| EAS | 20.6mJ - Supports unclamped inductive switching in motor control and solenoid drive applications. |
| TJ Range | -55°C to +175°C - Validated operation in engine bay, transmission control, and ADAS ECU environments. |
| RθJC | 2.5°C/W - Allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper or external heatsink for sustained 60W power dissipation. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL135N6F7AG | 60V, 135A, 3.7mΩ @ 10V, PowerFLAT 5x6 package, RθJC = 1.5°C/W | Higher current rating but larger footprint; requires more complex thermal layout and higher gate drive current (Qg = 52nC). | Select when >100A continuous current or sub-5mΩ RDS(ON) is required; not drop-in due to different package and pinout. |
| IXTP50N10P | 100V, 50A, 18mΩ @ 10V, TO-220 package, RθJC = 1.2°C/W, non-AEC-Q101 | Higher voltage rating but higher RDS(ON); through-hole mounting limits board density and automated assembly. | Use only in non-automotive industrial designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated and space constraints allow TO-220. |
Compared with STL135N6F7AG and IXTP50N10P, the DMTH6009LK3Q-13 offers optimal balance of AEC-Q101 compliance, TO252 manufacturability, 10mΩ conduction loss, and 33.5nC gate charge - making it the preferred choice for cost-sensitive, high-volume automotive DC-DC and lighting modules requiring SMT scalability and thermal margin.

FAQ
Is DMTH6009LK3Q-13 suitable for synchronous rectification in a 400kHz buck converter?
Yes. With 33.5nC total gate charge, 5.3nC Qgd, and 12.8mΩ RDS(ON) at 4.5V, it supports efficient synchronous rectification at 400kHz using standard gate drivers. Its 18.2ns body diode tRR minimizes cross-conduction loss, and the TO252 package provides adequate thermal dissipation for 15–25A continuous output current in typical 2-layer PCB layouts.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
Per the datasheet's derating curve and thermal data, at TC = 100°C, the maximum continuous drain current is approximately 38A. This is derived from the 59A rating at 25°C case temperature and the linear derating slope of 0.83A/°C above 25°C, consistent with the 2.5°C/W RθJC and 60W PD limit at TC = 25°C.
Does DMTH6009LK3Q-13 require a gate resistor for EMI suppression?
Yes. A 6Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for switching characterization (tD(ON), tR). For EMI control in automotive applications, a 10–22Ω resistor is recommended to dampen ringing caused by parasitic inductance in the gate loop, especially when driving at >200kHz. Layout optimization - short gate traces and ground return paths - remains essential regardless of resistor value.
Can DMTH6009LK3Q-13 replace SiC MOSFETs in 48V battery systems?
No. While rated for 60V and +175°C, it is a silicon MOSFET with inherent limitations in switching speed and body diode recovery compared to SiC devices. In 48V systems requiring >100kHz operation, high efficiency (>98%), or bidirectional power flow, SiC MOSFETs offer superior performance. DMTH6009LK3Q-13 is appropriate for cost-sensitive, lower-frequency (<500kHz) 48V applications where silicon remains optimal.
