Product details
Overview
PSMN1R8-30PL from Nexperia is a logic-level N-channel MOSFET in TO-220AB package, rated for 30 V VDS, 1.8 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, and qualified to 175 °C junction temperature. It delivers 100 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C and supports high-efficiency load switching in server power supplies and motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PSMN1R8-30PL datasheet, PSMN1R8-30PL pinout, PSMN1R8-30PL application, or PSMN1R8-30PL equivalent, this device is selected for low-RDS(on) performance at logic-level gate drive (VGS(th) = 1.3–2.15 V), robust avalanche energy rating (1.1 J), and thermal reliability up to 175 °C in industrial-grade power stages.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in hard-switched DC-DC converters and synchronous rectification. Its gate threshold voltage (1.3–2.15 V at 25 °C) ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V logic drivers, while its 0.3–0.56 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance enables high-power operation with external heatsinking.
The device features a monolithic source-drain diode with 0.7–1.2 V forward voltage at 25 A and 64 ns reverse recovery time, supporting freewheeling in inductive loads. Its 83 nC total gate charge at VGS = 4.5 V and 170 nC at 10 V allows scalable drive strength selection without compromising switching speed or EMI.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in 24 V bus systems. |
| RDS(on) | 1.6–1.8 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 100 A, critical for high-current power stages. |
| ID | 100 A @ Tmb = 25 °C - Continuous current capability limited by TO-220AB package thermal design, not silicon. |
| EAS | 1.1 J unclamped avalanche energy - Supports robustness against inductive switching transients without external snubbers. |
| QG(tot) | 83 nC @ VGS = 4.5 V - Enables efficient drive with standard logic-level gate drivers (e.g., TC4420, UCC27531). |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Extended temperature qualification enables use in sealed industrial enclosures and high-ambient server environments. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 0.3–0.56 K/W - Low thermal resistance to mounting base allows direct heatsink attachment for >200 W dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB (SOT78) plastic single-ended package with heatsink-mounted 3-lead configuration; mounting base electrically connected to drain terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Logic-level input controlling channel conduction; requires ≤2.15 V to turn on fully at room temperature. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main high-side or low-side power path terminal; internally bonded to mounting base for thermal and electrical connection. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; forms return path for load current and body diode conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive compatibility | VGS(th) = 1.3–2.15 V enables direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers and PWM controllers without level-shifting. |
| Low RDS(on) at elevated temperature | RDS(on) = 2.4 mΩ @ Tj = 100 °C ensures stable conduction loss across industrial operating range. |
| High avalanche ruggedness | 1.1 J non-repetitive EAS supports reliable operation in motor control and DC-DC converter primary-side switching. |
| Optimized dynamic characteristics | QGD/QG(tot) ratio of ~26% balances switching speed and voltage overshoot in hard-switched topologies. |
| Integrated source-drain diode | VSD = 0.7–1.2 V @ 25 A provides low-loss freewheeling path with 64 ns trr, reducing need for external Schottky diodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF1404PBF | RDS(on) = 4.0 mΩ @ 10 V; VDS = 40 V; QG(tot) = 131 nC; Tj = 175 °C | Higher conduction loss and gate charge; suitable only where 40 V rating is mandatory and efficiency is secondary. | Select only if 40 V blocking is required and thermal margin permits higher RDS(on). |
| STP120N3LLH6 | RDS(on) = 2.0 mΩ @ 10 V; VDS = 30 V; QG(tot) = 95 nC; Tj = 175 °C; TO-220FP package | Slightly higher RDS(on) and gate charge; smaller TO-220FP package limits heatsink area and power dissipation. | Prefer when footprint constraints outweigh 0.2 mΩ RDS(on) and 12 nC QG advantages. |
Compared with IRF1404PBF and STP120N3LLH6, PSMN1R8-30PL offers the lowest RDS(on) and gate charge in TO-220AB, enabling highest efficiency in thermally demanding 100 A applications where full-package heatsinking is available.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PSMN1R8-30PL at 100 °C mounting base temperature?
At Tmb = 100 °C, the continuous drain current is derated to approximately 55 A per Figure 1 in the datasheet. This reflects thermal limitation of the TO-220AB package, not silicon capability, and assumes proper heatsink attachment to the drain-connected mounting base.
Can PSMN1R8-30PL be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes - its gate threshold voltage range (1.3–2.15 V at 25 °C) and low 83 nC gate charge at 4.5 V ensure reliable enhancement-mode turn-on with 3.3 V logic. However, full RDS(on) specification (1.8 mΩ) requires VGS ≥ 4.5 V; operation at 3.3 V yields higher on-resistance (~2.3 mΩ typical).
Is the mounting base electrically isolated from the drain terminal?
No - the mounting base (mb) is internally connected to the drain terminal, as confirmed in Table 2 (Pinning information) and Figure 18 (Package outline). This requires electrical isolation between heatsink and system ground when used in high-side configurations.
What is the typical reverse recovery time of the integrated body diode?
The source-drain diode exhibits trr = 64 ns under conditions of IS = 30 A, dIS/dt = −100 A/µs, VDS = 12 V, and VGS = 0 V, as specified in Table 6. This value supports moderate-frequency freewheeling in motor control and DC-DC applications without external diode replacement.
