Product details
Overview
PSMN3R5-40YSBX from Nexperia is a standard-level N-channel MOSFET designed for high-current, high-efficiency power switching in industrial and motor control systems. It delivers 120 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, features a 3.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, operates up to 175 °C junction temperature, and uses NextPowerS3 Schottky-Plus technology for soft body-diode recovery in DC-to-DC converters and brushed/BLDC motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the PSMN3R5-40YSBX datasheet, PSMN3R5-40YSBX pinout, PSMN3R5-40YSBX application, or PSMN3R5-40YSBX equivalent, key selection criteria include its LFPAK56 package thermal performance (Rth(j-mb) = 1.18 K/W), avalanche ruggedness (EAS = 145 mJ), low Qrr (14 nC), and 40 V VDS rating for battery isolation and eFuse designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs TrenchMOS Superjunction architecture optimized for enhanced EMC performance-demonstrated by up to 6 dB improvement-and integrates a Schottky-Plus body diode with low VSD (0.8 V typ), soft reverse recovery (trr = 24 ns), and low leakage (IDSS = 1.2 µA at 125 °C).
Its gate drive is compatible with standard 10 V logic-level sources, exhibits strong linear-mode SOA, and supports high peak currents (IDM = 521 A) and unclamped avalanche energy (up to 243 mJ), enabling robust operation in inrush management and hot-swap circuits without external snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V maximum - defines safe operating voltage ceiling in 24–36 V battery and 48 V bus systems. |
| RDS(on) | 3.5 mΩ max at 10 V, 25 A, 25 °C - enables <1 W conduction loss at 120 A with proper thermal design. |
| ID (cont) | 120 A at Tmb = 25 °C - validated continuous current under real-world board-mount conditions. |
| QG(tot) | 42 nC max - determines gate driver strength requirement for fast, low-loss switching at >100 kHz. |
| Qrr | 14 nC typical - reduces EMI and switching losses during diode commutation in synchronous rectifiers. |
| EAS | 145 mJ non-repetitive - supports single-pulse avalanche survival in load-dump or inductive turn-off events. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 1.18 K/W typical - enables direct thermal coupling to heatsink via exposed mounting base for high-power density layouts. |
Pinout & Package
LFPAK56 (SOT669) is a copper-clip, solder-die-attached Power-SO8 variant with exposed drain mounting base for superior thermal and electrical performance. Its 4-terminal layout supports wave soldering, visual joint inspection, and low-inductance PCB routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Source (S) | Three parallel source leads reduce package inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt applications. |
| 4 | Gate (G) | Single gate terminal with low RG (0.8 Ω typ) for stable, fast turn-on/turn-off without oscillation. |
| Mounting Base (mb) | Drain (D) | Exposed copper drain pad provides primary thermal path to PCB/heatsink and low-inductance power return. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NextPowerS3 Schottky-Plus body diode | Soft recovery (ta = 13 ns, tb = 12 ns), low VSD (0.8 V), and 14 nC Qr minimize switching loss and EMI in freewheeling paths. |
| Avalanche rating | 100% tested IAS = 120 A and EAS = 145 mJ - ensures reliability in unclamped inductive switching without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon IPP036N04L | 40 V, 3.6 mΩ, 120 A, TO-252 package; higher Rth(j-a) (50 K/W vs. 85 K/W), no avalanche rating. | Limited to lower-power DC-DC where board space allows DPAK and avalanche stress is absent. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance and ruggedness requirements. |
| Vishay SiR626DP | 40 V, 3.3 mΩ, 120 A, PowerPAK SO-8; 150 °C rating, Qrr = 22 nC, no 100% avalanche test. | Suitable for BLDC inverters with moderate EMC constraints but less tolerant of repetitive inductive spikes. | Prefer where lowest RDS(on) is prioritized and thermal margin exists for 150 °C limit. |
Compared with IPP036N04L and SiR626DP, PSMN3R5-40YSBX offers superior avalanche ruggedness, 175 °C operation, and lower Qrr, making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability industrial load switches and motor drives where failure modes include unclamped inductive energy.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PSMN3R5-40YSBX under real PCB conditions?
The device is rated for 120 A continuous drain current at Tmb = 25 °C, verified in application testing. Practical current is limited by PCB copper area, thermal interface, and ambient temperature-Fig. 2 shows 92 A at Tmb = 100 °C. Derating must follow the normalized power curve in Fig. 1.
Does PSMN3R5-40YSBX require gate resistors for stable switching?
Yes-its low gate resistance (0.8 Ω typ) and 42 nC total gate charge make external gate resistors essential to control dV/dt and prevent ringing. A 5 Ω resistor is recommended for 100 kHz switching with 10 V drive, per Fig. 12 and Fig. 13 gate charge waveform definitions.
Can PSMN3R5-40YSBX be used in synchronous rectification with 20 V output?
Yes-its 40 V VDS rating, 14 nC Qr, and 24 ns trr make it well-suited for secondary-side synchronous rectification in 12–24 V output DC-DC converters. The Schottky-Plus diode's soft recovery prevents voltage overshoot during reverse recovery, reducing EMI and stress on adjacent components.
Is the mounting base electrically isolated from other terminals?
No-the mounting base (mb) is internally connected to the drain (D) terminal, as confirmed in Table 2 pinning information and Fig. 17 package outline. This requires careful PCB layout: the drain pad must be routed to the high-side DC bus or transformer secondary return, and isolation from source/gate planes is mandatory.
