Product details
Overview
PSMN8R5-40HS from Nexperia is a dual N-channel standard-level MOSFET in LFPAK56D (SOT1205) package, using TrenchMOS technology for high-efficiency power switching. It delivers 40 V VDS, 8.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, 30 A continuous drain current, and is qualified to 175 °C junction temperature - deployed in server power supplies and BLDC motor control stages.
For engineers reviewing the PSMN8R5-40HS datasheet, PSMN8R5-40HS pinout, PSMN8R5-40HS application, or PSMN8R5-40HS equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-FET integration in a single LFPAK56D footprint, avalanche ruggedness (84 mJ), low thermal resistance (2.84 K/W j-to-mb), and gate charge profile optimized for synchronous rectification and high-frequency DC-DC conversion.
Technical Context
This dual MOSFET integrates two identical N-channel devices in one thermally enhanced LFPAK56D package with copper-clip die attach and solder die bonding. Each FET shares identical static and dynamic characteristics: 40 V breakdown voltage, 8.5 mΩ typical RDS(on) at 10 V drive, and matched gate charge (QG(tot) = 21.8 nC, QGD = 7.8 nC).
The device supports repetitive avalanche operation and features a robust source-drain diode with 11.7 nC recovered charge and 20.3 ns reverse recovery time. Its thermal design targets mounting-base cooling, delivering 53 W total power dissipation at Tmb = 25 °C and sustaining 30 A continuous current up to Tmb = 100 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V maximum drain-source voltage - defines safe blocking capability in 36 V nominal bus applications. |
| RDS(on) | 8.5 mΩ typ @ VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25 °C - enables <1.3 W conduction loss at 20 A per FET. |
| ID | 30 A continuous drain current - limited by package thermal capacity, not silicon. |
| QG(tot) | 21.8 nC total gate charge - determines driver strength requirement for <20 ns switching transitions. |
| Rth(j-mb) | 2.84 K/W junction-to-mounting-base thermal resistance - enables direct heatsink attachment without PCB copper pour dependency. |
| EAS | 84 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy - supports robustness against inductive turn-off transients in motor drives. |
| VGS(th) | 2.4–4.5 V gate threshold voltage - ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V logic-level gate drivers. |
Pinout & Package
PSMN8R5-40HS uses the LFPAK56D (SOT1205) surface-mount package: 8-lead dual-power SO8 variant with exposed copper mounting base for low thermal impedance and high power density. Dimensions: 4.95 × 5.30 × 1.02 mm (L × W × H), with 1.27 mm lead pitch and solder land pattern optimized for reflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | S1 | Source terminal of FET1 - common return path for first half-bridge leg or synchronous rectifier channel. |
| 2 | G1 | Gate terminal of FET1 - isolated control input requiring <22 nC charge for full enhancement. |
| 3 | S2 | Source terminal of FET2 - electrically independent from S1; enables dual-channel or half-bridge configuration. |
| 4 | G2 | Gate terminal of FET2 - fully decoupled from G1; supports independent or complementary gate drive. |
| 5, 6 | D2 | Drain terminals of FET2 - paralleled pins reduce inductance and current density in high-current paths. |
| 7, 8 | D1 | Drain terminals of FET1 - paralleled pins provide low-inductance connection to high-side or output node. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual N-channel integration | Two matched MOSFETs in one LFPAK56D footprint - reduces PCB area by ~40% vs. discrete dual-SO8 layout. |
| Copper-clip die attach | Enables 2.84 K/W Rth(j-mb) - improves thermal transfer over wire-bonded alternatives by >35%. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Qualified for repeated inductive energy clamping - eliminates need for external snubbers in BLDC phase-leg designs. |
| 175 °C junction rating | Supports operation in sealed server PSUs and industrial motor controllers without derating at ambient >85 °C. |
| TrenchMOS technology | Delivers 8.5 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 V drive - achieves lower on-resistance than planar MOSFETs of same die size. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon BSC014N04LS6 | Single-channel 40 V, 1.4 mΩ MOSFET in SuperSO8; no dual integration. | Requires two separate packages for dual functionality - increases PCB area and thermal management complexity. | Choose when higher current per channel (>40 A) is needed and board space is not constrained. |
| Vishay SiZF300DT | Dual 30 V, 3.0 mΩ LFPAK56D MOSFET; lower voltage rating and tighter RDS(on) tolerance. | Not suitable for 40 V bus systems; limited to ≤30 V input rails like 24 V industrial supplies. | Choose only for 24 V applications where sub-3 mΩ on-resistance justifies reduced voltage margin. |
Compared with BSC014N04LS6 and SiZF300DT, PSMN8R5-40HS uniquely balances 40 V rating, dual integration, and 8.5 mΩ RDS(on) in a thermally optimized LFPAK56D - making it the only option supporting 36–48 V bus systems with single-package dual-FET functionality and 175 °C reliability.

FAQ
Is PSMN8R5-40HS pin-compatible with other LFPAK56D dual MOSFETs?
Yes - PSMN8R5-40HS uses the standardized SOT1205 footprint with identical 1.27 mm lead pitch and pad layout as all Nexperia LFPAK56D dual MOSFETs. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed per Figure 17 and solder land dimensions in Figure 18 of the datasheet, enabling drop-in replacement within the same package family.
What is the maximum allowable peak drain current for PSMN8R5-40HS?
The pulsed peak drain current is 225 A (IDM), specified for tp ≤ 10 µs at Tmb = 25 °C per Table 5. This value is derived from Safe Operating Area (SOA) limits and assumes proper gate drive and thermal management - exceeding this requires verification against SOA curves in Figure 3 of the datasheet.
Does PSMN8R5-40HS support gate drive from 5 V microcontrollers?
No - its VGS(th) range is 2.4–4.5 V, but full enhancement requires ≥10 V to achieve rated 8.5 mΩ RDS(on). At 5 V, RDS(on) rises above 25 mΩ (per Fig. 6), increasing conduction loss significantly. A dedicated 10 V gate driver or level-shifter is required for optimal performance.
How is thermal performance validated for PSMN8R5-40HS in real-world mounting?
Thermal resistance Rth(j-mb) = 2.84 K/W is measured with the mounting base directly attached to a cold plate per JEDEC JESD51-14. Real-world PCB thermal performance depends on copper area, via count, and heatsink interface - Figure 5 provides transient impedance curves, and Figure 1 confirms power derating versus Tmb.
