Product details
Overview
NP60N04MUG-S18-AY from Renesas Electronics is an N-channel power MOSFET designed for high-current DC switching in industrial power supplies and motor drives. It delivers RDS(on) = 6.3 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V and ID = 30 A, supports 60 A continuous drain current (TC = 25°C), and features 175°C channel temperature rating in TO-220 (MP-25K) package.
For engineers reviewing the NP60N04MUG-S18-AY datasheet, NP60N04MUG-S18-AY pinout, NP60N04MUG-S18-AY application, or NP60N04MUG-S18-AY equivalent, key selection criteria include low conduction loss, avalanche ruggedness (EAR = 90 mJ), thermal performance (Rth(ch–C) = 1.70°C/W), and Pb-free Sn plating compatibility with standard wave soldering profiles.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a planar vertical DMOS structure optimized for low on-resistance and fast switching. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V) enables robust drive with standard 10 V logic-level gate drivers, while its 3200 pF input capacitance (Ciss) and 21 nC gate-to-drain charge (QGD) support efficient hard-switching up to ~100 kHz in buck and half-bridge topologies.
The integrated body diode exhibits trr = 33 ns and Qrr = 40 nC under IF = 60 A and di/dt = 100 A/μs, enabling moderate-frequency synchronous rectification or freewheeling in inductive loads without external Schottky supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V/24 V bus applications with margin against transients. |
| RDS(on) max | 6.3 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 30 A - Enables <1.9 W conduction loss at 60 A in parallel configurations. |
| ID(DC) | ±60 A @ TC = 25°C - Supports high-current output stages without forced air cooling when heatsinked. |
| EAR | 90 mJ @ Tch ≤ 150°C - Confirmed repetitive avalanche capability for inductive load switching without snubbers. |
| Rth(ch–C) | 1.70°C/W - Allows 52 W steady-state dissipation before reaching 175°C channel limit with 25°C case temp. |
| QG | 60 nC @ VDD = 32 V - Determines gate driver peak current requirement (~3 A for 20 ns rise time). |
| tf/tr | 10 ns each - Supports fast turn-on/turn-off with minimal overlap loss in PWM operation. |
Pinout & Package
NP60N04MUG-S18-AY is housed in a TO-220 (MP-25K) package with standard three-terminal configuration: Drain connected to tab, Source and Gate on leads. The metal tab is electrically connected to the Drain terminal and must be isolated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main high-side current path | Electrically tied to metal tab; requires insulating washer if heatsink is not at drain potential. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-inductance connection critical for stable switching; common return for gate driver supply. |
| Gate | Control electrode | High-impedance input requiring <20 V absolute max; sensitive to ESD-must be protected during handling and PCB layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Super low RDS(on) | 6.3 mΩ max enables >96% efficiency in 24 V/50 A DC–DC stages at full load. |
| 175°C channel rating | Supports operation in sealed enclosures or high ambient environments without derating below 125°C ambient. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | 90 mJ energy absorption allows reliable operation in unclamped inductive switching (e.g., solenoid drivers). |
| Pb-free pure Sn plating | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with standard SnPb and lead-free wave soldering (≤260°C, 10 s). |
| TO-220 mechanical robustness | MP-25K variant offers enhanced creepage/clearance and 1.9 g mass for vibration-resistant mounting in industrial controls. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP60NF06 | RDS(on) = 8.5 mΩ @ 10 V; VDSS = 60 V; TO-220 package; higher gate charge (85 nC). | Better voltage margin for 48 V systems but higher conduction and switching loss at 24 V. | Select when 60 V blocking is mandatory and thermal headroom exists for higher losses. |
| IRF1404ZPBF | RDS(on) = 4.7 mΩ @ 10 V; VDSS = 40 V; TO-220; lower QG (67 nC); same 175°C rating. | Lower on-resistance improves efficiency but requires tighter gate drive timing due to faster dV/dt. | Prefer when minimizing conduction loss is primary and gate driver slew rate is ≥5 V/ns. |
Compared with STP60NF06 and IRF1404ZPBF, NP60N04MUG-S18-AY provides optimal balance of ultra-low RDS(on), proven avalanche ruggedness, and RoHS-compliant Sn plating-making it especially suitable for cost-sensitive industrial 24 V systems where reliability under transient stress is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for NP60N04MUG-S18-AY at 100°C case temperature?
At TC = 100°C, the NP60N04MUG-S18-AY supports 42 A continuous drain current, derived from its 60 A rating at 25°C and linear derating slope defined by Rth(ch–C) = 1.70°C/W and Tch(max) = 175°C. This value is confirmed in the Safe Operating Area (SOA) graph on page 3 of the D18663EJ2V0DS datasheet.
Does NP60N04MUG-S18-AY have a built-in body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, NP60N04MUG-S18-AY integrates a parasitic body diode with forward voltage VF(S-D) = 0.95–1.5 V at IF = 60 A and VGS = 0 V, reverse recovery time trr = 33 ns, and Qrr = 40 nC under di/dt = 100 A/μs. These values are measured per test conditions on page 2 of the D18663EJ2V0DS datasheet and support freewheeling in inductive loads.
Is NP60N04MUG-S18-AY suitable for use in automotive applications?
NP60N04MUG-S18-AY is classified as "Standard" quality grade per Renesas documentation and is intended for industrial equipment-not automotive safety-critical systems. While it meets 175°C channel rating and Pb-free plating, it lacks AEC-Q101 qualification, automotive-grade screening, or guaranteed PPAP documentation required for under-hood deployment.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for NP60N04MUG-S18-AY, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
The gate threshold voltage VGS(th) for NP60N04MUG-S18-AY is specified as 2.0–4.0 V at ID = 250 μA. This wide range necessitates gate drive voltages ≥10 V to ensure full enhancement across process variation, and mandates noise-immune layout (e.g., Kelvin source connection) to avoid unintended turn-on near the lower threshold boundary.
Can NP60N04MUG-S18-AY be used in parallel configurations, and what layout considerations apply?
Yes, NP60N04MUG-S18-AY supports paralleling due to its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on), which promotes current sharing. Successful implementation requires matched gate resistors (<5% tolerance), symmetrical PCB trace lengths to each device, Kelvin source connections, and individual gate drive paths to prevent oscillation-details validated in Renesas application note AN-8002.
