Product details
Overview
PMN30XPEAX from Nexperia is a P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in SOT457 (SC-74/TSOP6) package, rated for −20 V VDS, 30 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = −4.5 V and ID = −5.4 A, with AEC-Q101 qualification and 175 °C maximum junction temperature. It serves as a high-side load switch or relay driver in automotive and industrial power control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMN30XPEAX datasheet, PMN30XPEAX pinout, PMN30XPEAX application, or PMN30XPEAX equivalent, key selection criteria include its low threshold voltage (−0.95 V typ), fast switching (tr = 17 ns, tf = 19 ns), ESD robustness (>1 kV HBM), thermal resistance (Rth(j-sp) = 15 K/W), and automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This device uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching in a compact 6-lead surface-mount package. Its gate threshold voltage range (−0.6 V to −1.3 V) enables reliable turn-on with standard logic-level drive, while the integrated source-drain diode supports bidirectional current handling in load-switch configurations.
The device's thermal design leverages a dedicated drain pad (6 cm² copper area) to deliver 7.5 W total power dissipation at Tsp = 25 °C, and its avalanche ruggedness (15 mJ unclamped) supports transient energy absorption in inductive switching applications such as solenoid or relay drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −20 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage for automotive 12 V system protection and reverse polarity safeguarding |
| RDS(on) | 30 mΩ (typ) at VGS = −4.5 V, ID = −5.4 A - Enables <160 mW conduction loss at 5.4 A, reducing thermal stress in high-side switches |
| VGS(th) | −0.95 V (typ) - Ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting circuitry |
| tr/tf | 17 ns / 19 ns - Supports >10 MHz switching in PWM-controlled DC loads while minimizing overlap loss |
| QG(tot) | 10.6 nC (typ) - Low gate charge reduces driver power demand and simplifies gate drive design for discrete logic-level control |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive environments and industrial enclosures with minimal derating |
| ESD Rating | >1 kV HBM (Class H1C) - Provides robust handling during PCB assembly and field operation without external protection |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT457 (SC-74 / TSOP6), 6-lead plastic surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical performance. Dimensions: 3.1 × 1.7 × 1.1 mm (L × W × H); recommended solder footprint per Fig. 19 (reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6 | Drain (D) | Four parallel drain terminals connected internally to the exposed die pad - used for high-current path and primary thermal conduction to PCB |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Control input requiring <10.6 nC charge for full turn-on; sensitive to ESD but protected to >1 kV HBM |
| 4 | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and return path for load current; tied to system ground or high-side rail reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules, body electronics, and ADAS power stages |
| Low RDS(on) at logic-level drive | 30 mΩ @ VGS = −4.5 V enables efficient high-side switching directly from MCU I/O pins |
| Extended temperature operation | Rated from −55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature - supports placement near heat sources without derating |
| Fast switching with low QG | 10.6 nC total gate charge and 17 ns rise time reduce switching losses in PWM-driven loads |
| Integrated source-drain diode | VSD = −0.8 to −1.2 V @ IS = −1.7 A - provides freewheeling path for inductive loads without external diode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG2305UVT-7 | RDS(on) = 45 mΩ @ VGS = −4.5 V; SOT-563 package (smaller, 3×3 mm); no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lower power density and non-automotive grade - suitable for consumer IoT, not under-hood use | Select when board space is constrained and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| SI2305DS-T1-E3 | RDS(on) = 55 mΩ @ VGS = −4.5 V; SOT-23 package; 150 °C Tj(max); no specified avalanche rating | Higher conduction loss and reduced thermal margin - limited to ambient ≤85 °C industrial designs | Select only for cost-sensitive, low-current (<2 A), non-automotive applications |
Compared with DMG2305UVT-7 and SI2305DS-T1-E3, PMN30XPEAX delivers superior thermal capability (175 °C), lower on-resistance (30 mΩ), and automotive qualification - making it the only choice for high-reliability, high-current, high-temperature high-side switching where safety and longevity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMN30XPEAX at 100 °C ambient?
The maximum continuous drain current is −3.4 A at Tamb = 100 °C with standard FR4 PCB mounting (single-sided copper, 6 cm² drain pad). This value reflects thermal derating due to increased Rth(j-a) at elevated ambient temperatures and must be verified against actual board layout and airflow conditions.
Does PMN30XPEAX require a gate resistor for stability?
A gate resistor (typically 10–100 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing and control dV/dt during switching, especially in high-frequency PWM or inductive load applications. The device's 21 Ω typical gate resistance and 10.6 nC gate charge make it compatible with standard logic drivers without external buffering.
Can PMN30XPEAX be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its negative temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (normalized RDS(on) increases with temperature, per Fig. 11) supports inherent current sharing when multiple devices are paralleled with matched layout and thermal coupling, provided gate drive impedance is balanced.
Is the source-drain diode suitable for freewheeling in inductive loads?
Yes - the integrated diode has VSD = −0.8 to −1.2 V at −1.7 A and trr = 17 ns, enabling effective freewheeling in relay coils and solenoids. However, for high-energy inductive loads, verify peak reverse recovery charge (Qr = 5 nC) and ensure adequate snubbing to limit voltage overshoot.
