Product details

Overview

PSMN5R0-100PS from Nexperia is a standard-level N-channel MOSFET in TO-220AB (SOT78) package, rated for 100 V V_DS, 5 mΩ R_DS(on) at 25 °C, 120 A continuous drain current at T_mb = 25 °C, and qualified to 175 °C junction temperature - deployed in high-current load switching and server power supply primary-side switching.

For engineers reviewing the PSMN5R0-100PS datasheet, PSMN5R0-100PS pinout, PSMN5R0-100PS application, or PSMN5R0-100PS equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.22 K/W typical junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance, unclamped avalanche energy rating of 537 mJ, gate threshold voltage range (1–4.6 V), and compatibility with standard 10 V gate drive sources in industrial DC-DC and motor control designs.

Technical Context

This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology optimized for low conduction loss and robust avalanche performance. Its gate charge profile features 170 nC total gate charge and 49 nC gate-drain charge, enabling efficient hard-switching operation up to 100 V bus voltages with moderate gate drive strength.

The device integrates a co-packaged body diode with 0.8–1.2 V forward voltage at 25 A and 75 ns reverse recovery time, supporting synchronous rectification and freewheeling in buck converters and H-bridge motor drivers without external diode supplementation.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DS	100 V - Maximum blocking voltage for primary-side switching in 48 V–96 V industrial power rails.
R_DS(on)	4.3–5 mΩ @ V_GS = 10 V, I_D = 25 A, T_j = 25 °C - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 25 A, critical for high-efficiency server PSU designs.
I_D (continuous)	120 A @ T_mb = 25 °C - Supports high-current load switching when mounted on heatsink with adequate thermal interface.
E_AS	537 mJ unclamped avalanche energy - Provides single-pulse ruggedness against inductive turn-off transients in motor control and relay driving.
R_th(j-mb)	0.22 K/W typical - Enables direct mounting to heatsink for >300 W power dissipation capability under forced-air cooling.
Q_G(tot)	170 nC - Determines gate driver current requirement (~1.7 A peak for 100 ns rise time), compatible with standard logic-level drivers.
V_GS(th)	1–4.6 V across -55 to 175 °C - Ensures reliable turn-on with 5 V or 10 V gate drive while maintaining noise immunity at elevated temperatures.

Pinout & Package

TO-220AB (SOT78) plastic single-ended package with heatsink-mounted base; 3 leads; mounting base electrically connected to drain terminal.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (G)	Gate	Controls channel conduction; requires 10 V nominal drive for full enhancement; gate resistance 0.9 Ω limits ringing.
2 (D)	Drain	Main high-side current path; internally bonded to mounting base - must be isolated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits.
3 (S)	Source	Return path for load current; referenced to gate drive common; forms source node for gate driver return loop.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Standard-level gate drive compatibility	Operates fully enhanced with 10 V gate-source voltage - eliminates need for gate boosters in 12 V/24 V industrial systems.
High-temperature junction rating	175 °C max T_j - Enables operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without derating penalties.
Low R_DS(on) × Q_G figure-of-merit	~850 mΩ·nC - Balances conduction and switching losses for optimal efficiency in 100 kHz–500 kHz hard-switched topologies.
Robust body diode	75 ns t_rr, 235 nC Q_r - Reduces switching loss and EMI in freewheeling paths compared to discrete diode solutions.

Applications

Server Power Supplies

Industrial DC-DC Converters

Use Scenario: Primary-side high-side switch in 48 V input, 12 V output LLC resonant converter for rack-mounted servers.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch handling 80–120 A pulsed drain current at 300–600 kHz switching frequency.

Use Value: 4.3 mΩ R_DS(on) minimizes conduction loss at full load; 537 mJ avalanche rating absorbs leakage inductance spikes during zero-voltage switching transitions.

Use Scenario: High-current synchronous rectifier in isolated 24 V to 5 V flyback converter for PLC I/O modules.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side power FET operating in synchronous rectification mode with gate driven by transformer-coupled signal.

Use Value: Low 0.8 V V_SD forward drop reduces conduction loss vs. Schottky diode; 75 ns t_rr prevents shoot-through during dead-time transitions.

Motor Control H-Bridges

High-Current Load Switching

Use Scenario: Low-side switch in 48 V brushed DC motor driver for automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PWM-controlled current path with 120 A peak capability and fast 63 ns fall time for precise torque regulation.

Use Value: 0.22 K/W R_th(j-mb) enables direct heatsink mounting for sustained 50 A RMS current; 622 A peak drain current supports stall protection.

Use Scenario: Hot-swap and inrush limiting switch in 100 V battery backup system for telecom base stations.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side load switch controlled via gate driver with active current limiting and overtemperature shutdown.

Use Value: 100 V V_DS withstands battery float voltage + surge; 175 °C T_j rating ensures reliability during extended overload events.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
IRF540NPBF	Higher R_DS(on) (44 mΩ @ 25 °C), lower ID (33 A), TO-220 package but no mounting-base thermal spec.	Limited to ≤30 A continuous use; unsuitable for server PSU or high-current motor control due to thermal bottleneck.	Select only for cost-sensitive, low-power (<100 W) linear or switching applications where 100 V rating suffices.
STP110N10F7	Lower R_DS(on) (6.5 mΩ), higher Q_G (190 nC), 100 V, TO-220FP package with insulated tab.	Requires stronger gate driver; insulated tab simplifies heatsink isolation but increases R_th(j-mb) by ~0.5 K/W.	Prefer when electrical isolation between drain and heatsink is mandatory, and gate drive can support >2 A peak current.

Compared with IRF540NPBF and STP110N10F7, PSMN5R0-100PS delivers superior thermal performance via direct-mounting capability, tighter R_DS(on) tolerance, and verified 537 mJ avalanche ruggedness - making it the preferred choice for high-reliability, high-current industrial power stages where thermal management and transient robustness are critical.

FAQ

Is PSMN5R0-100PS suitable for automotive applications?

No. The PSMN5R0-100PS is not automotive-qualified per AEC-Q101. It lacks the extended temperature validation, failure-in-time (FIT) reporting, and stress test compliance required for automotive use. Nexperia explicitly states non-automotive qualification in its legal disclaimers, and the device is intended solely for industrial, communications, and domestic equipment.

What is the maximum safe operating temperature for continuous operation?

The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175 °C, and the device is qualified for continuous operation up to this limit. However, sustained operation above 150 °C requires careful thermal design - including low R_th(j-mb) interface material and forced-air or liquid cooling - as R_DS(on) rises to 14 mΩ at 175 °C, increasing conduction loss significantly.

Does the mounting base require electrical isolation from the heatsink?

Yes. Pin 2 (Drain) is internally connected to the mounting base, so direct contact with a grounded heatsink creates a short circuit. Electrical isolation - using mica or ceramic washers with thermal grease - is mandatory unless the heatsink is floating or referenced to drain potential in the system topology.

Can PSMN5R0-100PS replace a logic-level MOSFET in 5 V gate drive circuits?

No. With a gate threshold voltage range of 1–4.6 V and typical R_DS(on) specified at V_GS = 10 V, it is a standard-level MOSFET. At 5 V gate drive, R_DS(on) exceeds 20 mΩ and drain current capability drops sharply - risking thermal runaway. A dedicated logic-level part like PSMN2R8-100YS is required for 5 V drive.
