Product details
Overview
SUD50P04-08-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for -40 V drain-source voltage, 0.013 Ω rDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, and -60 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C in TO-252 (DPAK) package. It operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and is used in high-efficiency DC-DC converters and reverse-polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SUD50P04-08-BE3 datasheet, SUD50P04-08-BE3 pinout, SUD50P04-08-BE3 application, or SUD50P04-08-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40 V VDS rating, low 0.013 Ω on-resistance at -10 V gate drive, 175 °C TJ max, TO-252 thermal performance, and body diode forward voltage of -1.0 V at -50 A.
Technical Context
This device uses trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low rDS(on) and high current density in a surface-mount DPAK package. Its gate threshold voltage range (-1.0 V to -3.0 V) enables robust turn-on control with standard logic-level or microcontroller-driven gate drivers.
The MOSFET supports avalanche energy of 80 mJ and features a drain-connected tab for enhanced thermal conduction. Its SOA is limited by both rDS(on) and package thermal resistance (RthJC = 1.3 °C/W typ), with pulsed drain current rated at -100 A under defined test conditions.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDS | -40 V - Maximum blocking voltage in reverse-polarity or high-side switch configurations |
| rDS(on) | 0.013 Ω at VGS = -10 V, ID = -30 A - Enables <1.3 W conduction loss at 50 A in optimized thermal layout |
| ID (cont) | -60 A at TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current load switching with external heatsinking |
| TJ max | 175 °C - Allows operation in under-hood automotive or industrial ambient environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF4905PbF | rDS(on) = 0.02 Ω @ -10 V; TO-220 package; RthJC = 2.0 °C/W | Higher thermal resistance and larger footprint; less suitable for space-constrained PCBs | Prefer when through-hole mounting and higher avalanche margin (110 mJ) are prioritized over size and thermal efficiency |
| DMT4005LPS-13 | rDS(on) = 0.0045 Ω @ -10 V; PowerSO-8 package; TJ max = 150 °C | Lower on-resistance but lower temperature rating and smaller current capability (-42 A) | Choose for ultra-low-loss, low-power applications where 150 °C max junction temperature is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SUD50P04-08-BE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SUD50P04-08-BE3 supports -43 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, per its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-252 package and ensures safe operation within the 175 °C maximum junction temperature specification. Designers must verify PCB copper area and airflow to maintain TC ≤ 100 °C under full load.
Does SUD50P04-08-BE3 have lead-free construction and RoHS compliance?
Yes, the SUD50P04-08-BE3 is lead-free and RoHS compliant, as confirmed by Vishay's ordering designation "-BE3" suffix and documentation (Document Number 73009). The device meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is suitable for environmentally regulated industrial and automotive applications.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SUD50P04-08-BE3, and how does it affect drive requirements?
The SUD50P04-08-BE3 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of -1.0 V to -3.0 V at TJ = 25 °C. This wide range ensures reliable turn-on with gate drive voltages ≥ -4.5 V, making it compatible with standard microcontroller GPIOs and dedicated gate drivers. Full enhancement occurs at -10 V, where rDS(on) reaches its specified 0.013 Ω value.
Can SUD50P04-08-BE3 be used in avalanche-rated applications, and what is its rated energy?
Yes, the SUD50P04-08-BE3 is characterized for single-pulse avalanche operation with an energy rating of 80 mJ (IAS = -40 A, L = 0.1 mH). This makes it suitable for inductive load switching in motor controls and solenoid drivers where unclamped inductive kickback may occur. Operation beyond this rating requires external snubbing or clamping.
How does the drain-connected tab of SUD50P04-08-BE3 impact PCB layout and thermal design?
Because the drain terminal is electrically and thermally connected to the exposed tab in the TO-252 package, the SUD50P04-08-BE3 requires the tab to be soldered to a large copper pour or thermal pad on the PCB. This connection provides the primary thermal path (RthJC = 1.3 °C/W typ) and must be isolated from other nets unless drain is referenced to system ground. Proper stencil design and solder volume are critical for mechanical and thermal reliability.
