Product details
Overview
PMN42XPE from Nexperia is a single P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in TSOP6 (SOT457) package, rated for -20 V drain-source voltage, 41–46 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = -4.5 V and ID = -3 A, and optimized for high-side load switching in space-constrained DC-DC and power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMN42XPE datasheet, PMN42XPE pinout, PMN42XPE application, or PMN42XPE equivalent, this device is selected for fast-switching, low-RDS(on) P-channel switching where ESD robustness (2 kV HBM), thermal performance on FR4 PCBs, and compact SMD footprint are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with gate charge parameters QG(tot) = 11.5–17.3 nC and QGD = 2.4 nC, enabling efficient operation in high-frequency load-switch and line-driver topologies. Its negative threshold voltage range (-0.75 to -1.25 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level gate drive.
The device features a multi-drain-pin configuration (pins 1, 2, 5, 6) to reduce package inductance and improve current handling, while its source-drain diode exhibits VSD = -0.7 to -1.2 V at IS = -1.2 A, supporting bidirectional conduction in certain switching configurations.
Key Specifications

| RDS(on) | 41–46 mΩ @ VGS = -4.5 V, ID = -3 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <150 mW conduction loss at 3 A continuous current |
| ID (cont) | -4 A @ Tamb = 25 °C - Sustained current capability with standard FR4 PCB mounting pad (6 cm²) |
| QG(tot) | 11.5–17.3 nC - Determines gate drive energy and switching speed in PWM or hot-swap control |
| VGS(th) | -0.75 to -1.25 V @ ID = -250 µA - Ensures turn-on with 1.8–3.3 V logic-compatible gate signals |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM - Robustness against handling and board-level electrostatic discharge without external protection |
| Tj(max) | 150 °C - Allows operation in industrial ambient environments with appropriate thermal derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2020LH-7 | RDS(on) = 42 mΩ @ VGS = -4.5 V but rated only to -20 V; no specified ESD rating | Lacks documented 2 kV HBM rating; requires external ESD protection in unshielded environments | Prefer PMN42XPE where board-level ESD immunity is required without added components |
| SI2301DS-T1-BE3 | RDS(on) = 115 mΩ @ VGS = -2.5 V; higher on-resistance and slower switching (QG = 22 nC) | Higher conduction loss limits use to ≤1.5 A continuous; less suitable for high-frequency PWM | Choose PMN42XPE when lower RDS(on), faster switching, or tighter thermal budget is needed |
Compared with DMN2020LH-7 and SI2301DS-T1-BE3, the PMN42XPE delivers superior combination of low RDS(on), fast switching, and integrated ESD protection in the same TSOP6 footprint-making it optimal for high-reliability, space-constrained high-side switching where thermal and ESD margins are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMN42XPE under standard PCB conditions?
The PMN42XPE supports -4 A continuous drain current when mounted on an FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, tin-plated, and a 6 cm² drain pad at Tamb = 25 °C. At Tamb = 100 °C, the rated current drops to -2.9 A due to thermal derating per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Can PMN42XPE be used in a high-side switch configuration with 3.3 V logic control?
Yes. With a VGS(th) range of -0.75 to -1.25 V and guaranteed turn-on at VGS = -2.5 V, the PMN42XPE fully enhances using a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO driving the gate through an inverting buffer or level shifter referenced to the source node.
How does the multi-drain pin configuration affect PCB layout and thermal performance?
The four drain pins (1, 2, 5, 6) must be routed to a common large copper pour (minimum 6 cm²) to achieve the specified RDS(on) and thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 83–95 K/W). This layout reduces current crowding and lowers junction temperature rise by ~15–20 °C versus single-drain equivalents under identical conditions.
Is PMN42XPE qualified for automotive applications?
No. The PMN42XPE is not automotive-qualified. It has not undergone AEC-Q101 stress testing or been validated for automotive temperature ranges, reliability requirements, or PPAP documentation. For automotive use, Nexperia offers AEC-Q101-qualified variants such as the PMN42XPEA.
