Product details
Overview
IPB120N04S402ATMA1 from Infineon Technologies is an AEC-Q101 qualified N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in PG-TO263-3-2 package, rated for 40 V VDS, 120 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 1.8 mΩ max RDS(on) (SMD version). It operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and is 100% avalanche tested-used in automotive DC-DC converters and high-current motor control stages.
For engineers reviewing the IPB120N04S402ATMA1 datasheet, IPB120N04S402ATMA1 pinout, IPB120N04S402ATMA1 application, or IPB120N04S402ATMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 100 A/10 V, thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.95 K/W), avalanche energy (EAS = 480 mJ), and AEC qualification for under-hood power switching.
Technical Context
This OptiMOS®-T2 device uses trench-gate superjunction technology optimized for low conduction and switching losses in 12 V automotive systems. Its gate threshold voltage (2.0–4.0 V) enables robust TTL/CMOS-level drive, and its 1.58–1.8 mΩ typical RDS(on) (SMD) supports high-efficiency synchronous rectification in buck converters.
The MOSFET features integrated body diode with 0.9–1.3 V forward voltage at 100 A and 60 ns reverse recovery time-critical for minimizing shoot-through and commutation loss in half-bridge topologies. Its 8260–10740 pF input capacitance and 14–32 nC Qgd support fast, controlled switching with moderate gate driver strength.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V battery rail applications with margin against load dump transients. |
| RDS(on) max (SMD) | 1.8 mΩ - Enables ≤2.2 W conduction loss at 100 A, reducing heatsink requirements in compact power modules. |
| ID continuous | 120 A @ TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current motor phases and starter solenoid drivers without derating. |
| EAS | 480 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy from 60 A loads, eliminating need for external snubbers in relay replacement. |
| RthJC | 0.95 K/W - Allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour or heatsink, enabling >150 W power dissipation with <100 K rise. |
| Qg total | 103–134 nC - Determines gate driver current requirement (~1.3 A avg for 100 ns turn-on with 3.5 Ω RG). |
| tr/tf | 16 ns / 30 ns - Enables >500 kHz switching in LLC resonant converters while limiting EMI generation. |
Pinout & Package
IPB120N04S402ATMA1 is housed in PG-TO263-3-2 (D²PAK) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The three terminals are arranged in standard D²PAK layout: Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Source, Pin 3 = Drain (tab).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; requires low-impedance path to minimize ringing during fast transitions. |
| Pin 2 (Source) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Common return for gate driver IC and shunt resistor; must be low-inductance to avoid false turn-on. |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Main power output terminal | Exposed copper tab-must be soldered to ≥6 cm² PCB copper area for thermal management per JEDEC standards. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive powertrain and chassis applications including engine control units and EPS modules. |
| 100% unclamped inductive switching (UIS) tested | Guarantees ruggedness against inductive kickback in motor drives without external protection components. |
| MSL1 rating (260 °C peak reflow) | Compatible with standard lead-free SMT assembly processes without moisture sensitivity concerns. |
| Optimized gate charge profile | Low Qgd/Qg ratio (14–32 nC / 103–134 nC) improves Miller immunity and reduces switching loss in hard-switched topologies. |
| Green product (RoHS compliant) | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and automotive ELV requirements for hazardous substance restriction. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPP120N04S4-02 | Same die, TO-220-3-1 through-hole package; RthJA = 62 K/W (leaded), no exposed drain pad. | Suitable for prototyping or low-volume industrial power supplies where manual assembly or heatsink mounting is preferred. | Select when mechanical mounting flexibility outweighs thermal performance; not recommended for automotive production due to MSL3 limitation. |
| STL120N4LH6 | 40 V, 120 A, 1.9 mΩ RDS(on); ST's STripFET™ F7, lower Qgd (10 nC), but no AEC-Q101 certification. | Acceptable for non-safety-critical consumer or industrial SMPS where automotive qualification is not mandated. | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs; lacks required stress testing and traceability for OEM automotive BOMs. |
Compared with IPP120N04S4-02 and STL120N4LH6, IPB120N04S402ATMA1 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL1 reflow compatibility, and 0.95 K/W RthJC-making it the sole option for volume automotive SMT power stages requiring both reliability and thermal density.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for IPB120N04S402ATMA1?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V. Operation beyond ±15 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable 12 V system design, gate drive should be clamped to +10 V/−5 V using Zener diodes or dedicated gate driver ICs with built-in protection.
Does IPB120N04S402ATMA1 require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes-a gate resistor is required to dampen ringing and control dV/dt. For 100 A switching with 3.5 Ω driver output impedance, a 5–10 Ω series resistor is recommended. Lower values improve switching speed but increase EMI; higher values reduce overshoot at the cost of increased switching loss.
Can IPB120N04S402ATMA1 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but only with matched devices and symmetrical PCB layout. Thermal coupling must be identical across all paralleled units, and gate drive paths must have equal length and impedance. Derate total current by 15% to account for parameter spread and ensure current sharing within ±10%.
Is the drain tab electrically isolated from the PCB ground plane in the PG-TO263-3-2 package?
No-the drain tab is electrically connected to Pin 3 (Drain) and must be soldered directly to a high-current copper pour tied to the system's high-side power rail. Electrical isolation requires insulating thermal interface material and a separate heatsink mounting scheme.
