Product details
Overview
PMN42XPEA from Nexperia is a P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in TSOP6 (SOT457) package, rated for −20 V drain-source voltage, 41 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = −4.5 V and ID = −3 A, with 2 kV HBM ESD protection and AEC-Q101 qualification. It serves as a high-side load switch or relay driver in automotive and industrial power control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMN42XPEA datasheet, PMN42XPEA pinout, PMN42XPEA application, or PMN42XPEA equivalent, this device is selected for low-voltage P-channel switching where fast turn-on/turn-off (td(on) = 17 ns, tf = 27 ns), thermal robustness (Rth(j-sp) = 10–15 K/W), and automotive-grade reliability are required.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses Trench technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from −0.75 V to −1.25 V at Tj = 25 °C, enabling reliable turn-on with logic-level gate drive down to −2.5 V.
The device features an integrated source-drain diode with VSD = −0.7 to −1.2 V at IS = −1.2 A and exhibits dynamic parameters including QG(tot) = 11.5–17.3 nC and Ciss = 1410 pF, supporting efficient high-frequency switching in compact DC-DC and load-switching topologies.
Key Specifications

| VDS | −20 V - Maximum blocking voltage in high-side configuration without breakdown |
| RDS(on) | 41–46 mΩ @ VGS = −4.5 V, ID = −3 A, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <150 mW conduction loss at 3 A |
| ID (cont) | −4 A @ Tamb = 25 °C - Sustained current capability on standard FR4 PCB with 6 cm² drain pad |
| QG(tot) | 11.5–17.3 nC - Gate charge level determining drive strength requirement for <50 ns switching |
| tf/tr | 27 ns / 27 ns @ VDS = −10 V, ID = −4 A, RG(ext) = 6 Ω - Supports >5 MHz PWM operation |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM - Robust handling in automated assembly and automotive environments |
| Tj(max) | 150 °C - Junction temperature limit enabling operation in under-hood automotive zones |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6 | Drain (D) | High-current output node; electrically and thermally tied to exposed copper pad |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Control input requiring −4.5 V to fully enhance; low input capacitance (Ciss = 1410 pF) |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG2305UVT-7 | RDS(on) = 48 mΩ @ −4.5 V; SO-8 package; no AEC-Q101 rating | Lacks automotive qualification; larger footprint increases layout area by 3.5× | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial prototypes without automotive compliance needs |
| SI2301DS-T1-BE3 | RDS(on) = 115 mΩ @ −4.5 V; SOT-23 package; 1.25 A ID rating | Lower current capacity limits use to sub-1 A loads; higher RDS(on) increases thermal load | Suitable only for low-power signal switching where space is critical and current ≤1 A |
Compared with DMG2305UVT-7 and SI2301DS-T1-BE3, PMN42XPEA delivers superior thermal performance (Rth(j-sp) = 10–15 K/W), automotive qualification, and 2× lower RDS(on), making it optimal for production-grade 3–4 A high-side switching in constrained layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMN42XPEA at 100 °C ambient temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is −2.9 A at Tamb = 100 °C, as specified in Table 5 (Limiting values). This derating reflects thermal constraints of the TSOP6 package on standard FR4 PCBs and ensures safe operation within the 150 °C junction temperature limit.
Can PMN42XPEA be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes - its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) is −0.75 to −1.25 V at 25 °C, and it achieves RDS(on) < 64 mΩ even at VGS = −2.5 V. A 3.3 V GPIO pulling gate to ground provides sufficient overdrive for full enhancement in most ambient conditions.
Does PMN42XPEA include an integrated body diode, and what is its forward voltage?
Yes - it contains an inherent source-drain diode with VSD = −0.7 to −1.2 V at IS = −1.2 A and Tj = 25 °C (Table 7). This diode supports freewheeling in inductive load applications but is not optimized for reverse recovery speed.
Is the TSOP6 (SOT457) package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - Nexperia confirms PMN42XPEA meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is manufactured with lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound, as documented in the official product change notice PCN-2016-001 and material declarations.
