Product details
Overview
SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 30 V drain-source voltage, with RDS(on) = 3.9 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and 4.5 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, delivering 107 A continuous silicon-limited drain current (TC = 25 °C), optimized for synchronous buck low-side switching in DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 datasheet, SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 pinout, SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 application, or SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its TO-252 package thermal performance (RthJC = 1.7 °C/W), 67 nC total gate charge, and halogen-free/RoHS-compliant construction for high-efficiency, space-constrained power stages.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching dynamics, with gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) specified between 1.0 V and 2.5 V and guaranteed 100 % Rg and UIS testing per production lot. Its body diode exhibits trr = 41–62 ns and Qrr = 40–60 nC under defined conditions.
The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, with absolute maximum VDS = 30 V and VGS = ±20 V. Thermal design must account for package-limited continuous current of 42 A and RthJA = 50 °C/W on 1" FR-4 PCB - critical for thermally constrained board layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines use in ≤30 V input rails. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 3.9 mΩ - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A, supporting high-current low-side switch applications. |
| Qg | 67 nC (typ.) - Determines gate drive power and switching speed; impacts efficiency in 300 kHz–1 MHz DC/DC designs. |
| ID (silicon-limited) | 107 A @ TC = 25 °C - Indicates die capability; actual usable current limited by package (42 A) and thermal design. |
| RthJC | 1.7 °C/W - Enables high-power dissipation when mounted to heatsink or copper pour; critical for thermal margin calculation. |
| trr / Qrr | 41–62 ns / 40–60 nC - Quantifies body diode reverse recovery behavior; affects shoot-through risk and EMI in synchronous rectification. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 30 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL3803PbF | RDS(on) = 4.5 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 60 nC; TO-220 package; no halogen-free certification stated. | Larger footprint and higher RthJA; less suitable for ultra-thin or high-density PCBs. | Prefer SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 where TO-252 thermal performance and halogen-free compliance are required. |
| DMN3025LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 2.5 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 42 nC; dual N-channel SO-8; lower voltage rating (30 V same). | Lower conduction loss but reduced current handling (60 A); unsuitable for >80 A single-phase designs. | Select SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 for higher current capability and superior thermal dissipation in single-MOSFET low-side roles. |
Compared with IRL3803PbF and DMN3025LSD-13, the SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 offers the best balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, TO-252 thermal efficiency, and certified environmental compliance - making it optimal for high-current, thermally demanding, and regulated industrial power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3?
The SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 has a silicon-limited continuous drain current of 107 A at TC = 25 °C, but its package-limited rating is 42 A under the same condition. Designers must respect the lower 42 A limit unless thermal enhancements (e.g., large copper pour, heatsink) are implemented to sustain higher case temperatures - the SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 datasheet explicitly states this package limitation.
Does the SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 support 4.5 V gate drive in practical applications?
Yes, the SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 is fully characterized at VGS = 4.5 V, with RDS(on) = 4.5 mΩ (typ.) and guaranteed performance down to 1 V threshold. This makes the SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 suitable for 5 V logic-level or microcontroller-driven gate drive without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for the SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3?
The SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 has a specified RthJC of 1.7 °C/W, measured from junction to the drain-connected tab. This value is critical for calculating junction temperature rise when the device is mounted to a heatsink or thermal pad - the SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 leverages its TO-252 drain tab to achieve this low thermal impedance.
Is the SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 halogen-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, the SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 is explicitly certified halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 and compliant with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, as confirmed in its ordering information and datasheet revision A (06-Sep-10). The "-GE3" suffix denotes lead-free and halogen-free construction - a verified attribute of the SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3.
What is the total gate charge (Qg) specification for the SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3?
The SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3 has a typical total gate charge (Qg) of 67 nC at VDS = 15 V, VGS = 10 V, and ID = 20 A. This parameter directly influences gate driver sizing and switching loss - the SUD42N03-3M9P-GE3's Qg value supports efficient operation in 300–1000 kHz DC/DC converters when paired with appropriate gate drive strength.
