Product details
Overview
PXN8R3-30QLJ from Nexperia is a 30 V, N-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in MLPAK33 (SOT8002-1) package, designed for low-side switching in power conversion and battery management. It delivers RDS(on) = 7.1 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, 11.4 A, supports logic-level drive (VGS(th) = 1.7 V typ), and features ultra-low QG = 5.1 nC and QGD = 1.3 nC for high-frequency DC-DC operation.
For engineers reviewing the PXN8R3-30QLJ datasheet, PXN8R3-30QLJ pinout, PXN8R3-30QLJ application, or PXN8R3-30QLJ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin MLPAK33 thermal-enhanced footprint, source-gate-drain terminal configuration, low EMI switching behavior, and suitability for compact, high-efficiency load-switching designs requiring <10 ns turn-on delay and soft-recovery diode performance.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Trench technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with minimized gate charge. Its triple-source (pins 1–3), quad-drain (pins 5–8), and single-gate (pin 4) layout enables low-inductance, high-current routing and efficient heat spreading through the exposed drain pad.
The device integrates a robust body diode with trr = 15 ns and Qr = 6 nC, supporting synchronous rectification and flyback recovery without external snubbing. Thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) = 7 K/W (typ) ensures stable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature under PCB-mounted conditions with 6 cm² drain pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V maximum - defines safe blocking voltage in low-voltage power rails (e.g., 12 V/24 V systems) |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 7.1 mΩ typical - enables ≤1 W conduction loss at 11.4 A continuous current |
| QG(tot) | 5.1 nC typical - reduces gate drive power and allows >1 MHz switching with low-power controllers |
| td(on) | 5 ns typical - supports precise timing control in high-speed PWM and digital load switching |
| ID (cont) | 11.4 A @ Tamb = 25 °C - rated for sustained current in thermally constrained PCB layouts |
| VGS(th) | 1.7 V typical - ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level microcontrollers |
| trr | 15 ns typical - minimizes reverse recovery losses and voltage spikes in inductive switching |
Pinout & Package
Package: MLPAK33 (SOT8002-1), 3.3 × 3.3 × 0.8 mm surface-mount plastic package with thermal-enhanced leadframe and exposed drain pad for low Rth(j-sp).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Source | Three parallel source terminals reduce bond-wire inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt applications |
| 4 | Gate | Single gate input with RG = 2.3 Ω (typ) - enables stable drive without external gate resistor in most 3.3/5 V logic interfaces |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Drain | Four drain terminals connected to internal thermal pad - maximizes heat transfer to PCB copper and lowers Rth(j-a) to 24 K/W (typ) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 1.2–2.2 V range ensures full enhancement with standard MCU GPIOs (3.3 V/5 V) |
| Ultra-low QG and QGD | 5.1 nC total / 1.3 nC gate-drain charge - cuts switching losses by >30% vs. comparable 30 V MOSFETs |
| Soft-recovery body diode | trr = 15 ns, Qr = 6 nC - suppresses voltage overshoot and EMI during inductive turn-off |
| MLPAK33 thermal design | Rth(j-sp) = 7 K/W (typ) - sustains 12.5 W dissipation with minimal board area and no heatsink |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-side switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ONsemi NTMFS5C670NL | Higher RDS(on) = 9.5 mΩ @ 10 V; larger Power56 package (5 × 6 mm) | Lower power density; requires more PCB area and higher thermal margin | Preferred where legacy Power56 footprint compatibility is required |
| Infineon BSC014N04LS6 | Lower QG = 4.5 nC but higher VGS(th) = 2.2 V min; same 3.3 × 3.3 mm PQFN | Marginally slower turn-on at 3.3 V drive; tighter gate threshold distribution | Chosen when minimizing gate drive loss outweighs logic-level compatibility needs |
Compared with NTMFS5C670NL and BSC014N04LS6, PXN8R3-30QLJ offers the best balance of logic-level drive assurance, ultra-low QG, and compact MLPAK33 footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-frequency, and MCU-driven load-switching designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PXN8R3-30QLJ at 100 °C ambient temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 7.2 A at Tamb = 100 °C with standard FR4 PCB mounting (single-sided copper, 6 cm² drain pad). This derating reflects thermal limits-not electrical degradation-and is validated per IEC 60134 limiting values.
Does PXN8R3-30QLJ require a gate resistor for stable switching?
A gate resistor is not mandatory due to its low intrinsic gate resistance (2.3 Ω typ) and optimized gate charge profile. However, a 2.2–10 Ω series resistor is recommended to damp ringing in high-di/dt layouts or when driving from weak GPIOs, especially above 500 kHz.
Can PXN8R3-30QLJ be used in avalanche mode for inductive load protection?
Yes-it is rated for 25 mJ non-repetitive drain-source avalanche energy (Tj(init) = 25 °C, ID = 1.7 A). This supports single-event inductive turn-off protection but does not qualify it for repetitive avalanche operation; external clamping remains advised for sustained stress.
How does the MLPAK33 package improve thermal performance versus standard SO-8?
The MLPAK33 exposes the drain directly to the PCB via an integrated thermal pad, achieving Rth(j-sp) = 7 K/W (typ)-over 3× better than SO-8's ~25 K/W. Its 3.3 × 3.3 mm footprint also saves >50% board area while maintaining 12.5 W power dissipation capability.
