Product details
Overview
PMPB27EPA from Nexperia is a 30 V, P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in a DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) package, designed for high-side load switching and relay driving with RDS(on) = 24 mΩ at VGS = −10 V, ID = −6.1 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability.
For engineers reviewing the PMPB27EPA datasheet, PMPB27EPA pinout, PMPB27EPA application, or PMPB27EPA equivalent, this device is selected for compact high-efficiency DC power control where low on-resistance, side-wettable flanks for solder inspection, and thermal robustness in ultra-thin SMD form factor are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This P-channel MOSFET uses Trench technology to achieve low gate charge (QG(tot) = 30–45 nC) and fast switching (td(on) = 10 ns, tf = 19 ns), enabling efficient operation in high-frequency load-switching circuits. Its −30 V VDS rating and −2.5 V maximum VGS(th) support robust gate drive compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic.
The device features an integrated source-drain diode with VSD = −0.8 to −1.2 V at IS = −1.9 A and exhibits avalanche ruggedness (EAS = 26.8 mJ), making it suitable for inductive load handling without external flyback protection in many implementations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −30 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage for automotive 24 V system loads and transient suppression |
| RDS(on) | 24 mΩ (typ) at VGS = −10 V - Enables ≤150 mW conduction loss at 6.1 A continuous current |
| ID | −6.1 A (continuous, Tamb = 25 °C) - Supports medium-power load switching on FR4 PCB with 6 cm² drain pad |
| QG(tot) | 30–45 nC - Low gate charge reduces driver power demand and enables <100 ns total switching transitions |
| Rth(j-sp) | 67–74 K/W - Thermal resistance to solder point confirms effective heat transfer to PCB copper in ultra-thin DFN |
| VGS(th) | −1.5 V (typ), −2.5 V (max) - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO |
| ESD HBM | 1000 V - Robust electrostatic immunity for automated assembly and in-system handling |
Pinout & Package
DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) is a 2.0 × 2.0 × 0.65 mm leadless, thermally enhanced plastic package with side-wettable flanks for automated optical solder inspection. The exposed drain terminals provide low-inductance, high-current paths and improved thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 | Drain (D) | Five parallel drain terminals connected to internal die backside - optimized for low RDS(on) and thermal conduction to PCB |
| 3 | Gate (G) | Single gate input with 5.4 Ω typical gate resistance - limits dV/dt-induced shoot-through in high-speed switching |
| 4, 8 | Source (S) | Two source terminals forming return path; combined layout minimizes source inductance in high-di/dt applications |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive temperature range (−40 °C to +150 °C) and mechanical stress per discrete semiconductor standard |
| Side-wettable flanks | Enables AOI (automated optical inspection) of solder joints without X-ray - reduces manufacturing defect escape rate |
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Delivers 24 mΩ RDS(on) in 2×2 mm footprint - 35% lower on-resistance vs. planar equivalents at same die size |
| Ultra-thin profile (0.65 mm) | Supports space-constrained modules (e.g., ECU power stages, LED drivers) without compromising thermal performance |
| Integrated body diode | VSD = −0.8 to −1.2 V enables freewheeling in relay/inductor loads - eliminates need for external Schottky in many designs |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module | Industrial PLC Output Stage |

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) = 45 mΩ (at VGS = −4.5 V); smaller 1.6 × 1.6 mm package; no AEC-Q101 rating | Lower power (≤3 A) consumer-grade applications only; unsuitable for automotive under-hood use | Select when board area is critical and automotive qualification is not required. |
| PSMN2R0-30PL | RDS(on) = 2.0 mΩ (at VGS = −10 V); TO-220FP package; higher thermal mass but larger footprint | High-current (>15 A), high-temperature industrial motor drives requiring heatsink mounting | Select when >10 A continuous current or forced-air cooling is needed - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with DMG2305UVT-7 and PSMN2R0-30PL, PMPB27EPA uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 24 mΩ on-resistance in a 2×2 mm footprint, and side-wettable flanks - making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial high-side switches where reliability and manufacturability are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMPB27EPA at 100 °C ambient temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is −3.9 A at Tamb = 100 °C with device mounted on FR4 PCB (single-sided copper, 6 cm² drain pad). This derating reflects thermal limitations of the DFN2020MD-6 package without forced airflow or additional copper area.
Can PMPB27EPA be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes - its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from −1.0 V to −2.5 V, and it delivers 24 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = −4.5 V. At 3.3 V logic, VGS = −3.3 V yields RDS(on) ≈ 32–43 mΩ, sufficient for ≤3 A loads with acceptable conduction loss.
Does PMPB27EPA require a gate resistor for stability in high-speed switching?
A series gate resistor (typically 5–22 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 150 pF) and PCB trace inductance. The device's 5.4 Ω intrinsic gate resistance helps but does not eliminate need for external control of dv/dt and EMI.
How does the side-wettable flank design impact reflow soldering yield?
The side-wettable flanks allow automated optical inspection (AOI) to verify fillet formation on all five drain terminals - increasing detection of head-in-pillow, insufficient solder, and tombstoning defects by >95% compared to standard DFN packages without this feature.
