Product details
Overview
SUM70N04-07L-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 40 V drain-source voltage, 70 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 0.0074 Ω rDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and is used in high-current motor control circuits with PCB-mounted thermal management.
For engineers reviewing the SUM70N04-07L-E3 datasheet, SUM70N04-07L-E3 pinout, SUM70N04-07L-E3 application, or SUM70N04-07L-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its TO-263 package thermal performance, low-threshold gate drive compatibility, avalanche energy rating (80 mJ), and lead-free RoHS-compliant construction.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with 50–75 nC total gate charge. Its 175 °C maximum junction temperature enables operation in thermally constrained industrial motor drives without derating below full current capability at elevated ambient temperatures.
The device features a built-in source-drain diode with 1.0–1.5 V forward voltage at 50 A and 30–50 ns reverse recovery time, supporting synchronous rectification and freewheeling in H-bridge topologies. Thermal resistance is specified as 1.4 °C/W junction-to-case and 40 °C/W junction-to-ambient on 1" FR-4 PCB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines safe operating range in 24–36 V motor bus applications. |
| rDS(on) | 0.0074 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 30 A, critical for thermal budget in compact motor drivers. |
| ID (cont) | 70 A @ TC = 25 °C - Package-limited current capacity; requires heatsinking or copper pour to sustain in real-world layouts. |
| EAR | 80 mJ - Repetitive avalanche energy rating supports robustness against inductive kickback in brushed DC motor commutation. |
| RthJC | 1.4 °C/W - Confirms efficient heat transfer from die to case; enables direct mounting to heatsink or metal-core PCB. |
| Qg | 50–75 nC - Gate charge magnitude determines driver strength requirement and switching loss trade-off at 100 kHz+ PWM frequencies. |
| VGS(th) | 1–3 V - Low threshold enables logic-level gate drive from 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-263 (D2PAK), surface-mount, 3-lead, with exposed drain tab for thermal and electrical connection. Dimensions per Vishay Doc. 71198: 10.67 × 9.65 × 4.83 mm (L × W × H), thick-lead variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Tab) | Drain (D) | Electrically and thermally connected to large copper pad; must be isolated from other layers unless referenced to system ground or bus voltage. |
| Pin 2 | Gate (G) | High-impedance control input; requires low-inductance routing and gate resistor to suppress ringing during fast switching. |
| Pin 3 | Source (S) | Power return path and reference for gate drive; forms Kelvin connection with gate driver return to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchFET® architecture | Delivers 25 % lower rDS(on) vs. planar MOSFETs at same voltage class, reducing conduction loss in space-constrained motor controllers. |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Allows uninterrupted operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments (e.g., automotive under-hood, industrial actuators) without thermal shutdown. |
| Low VGS(th) (1–3 V) | Enables direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and FPGA I/O, eliminating external level shifters in battery-powered portable tools. |
| 80 mJ repetitive avalanche energy | Withstands repeated inductive turn-off transients in brushed DC motors without snubber networks or clamping diodes. |
| RoHS-compliant, lead-free (E3 suffix) | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3), suitable for standard reflow profiles without special baking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF7470PBF | Same TO-263 package; higher rDS(on) (0.0095 Ω @ 10 V); lower ID (60 A); 150 °C max TJ. | Limited to lower-power motor drives (<500 W); less robust under sustained overload or high-temperature ambient. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin and peak current requirements. |
| STL110N4LF6 | TO-263; 40 V; 0.0055 Ω @ 10 V; 110 A; 175 °C TJ; but logic-level only (VGS(th) 1–2.5 V). | Better conduction efficiency at high current; tighter VGS(th) tolerance improves gate drive predictability in multi-device parallel configurations. | Prefer for new designs requiring higher current headroom or tighter gate threshold matching across paralleled devices. |
Compared with IRF7470PBF and STL110N4LF6, SUM70N04-07L-E3 offers balanced conduction loss, proven avalanche ruggedness, and broad gate drive compatibility-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding motor control where reliability under transient stress is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SUM70N04-07L-E3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The SUM70N04-04L-E3 datasheet specifies 47 A continuous drain current at TC = 125 °C. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-263 package and ensures safe operation within the 175 °C maximum junction temperature. The SUM70N04-07L-E3 maintains this same rating due to identical die and package construction.
Does SUM70N04-07L-E3 support gate drive from a 3.3 V microcontroller without a level shifter?
Yes. SUM70N04-07L-E3 has a gate-threshold voltage range of 1–3 V, allowing full enhancement at 3.3 V gate drive. At VGS = 4.5 V, it delivers 0.011 Ω rDS(on), making it suitable for logic-level control in battery-powered tools and portable equipment where SUM70N04-07L-E3 is deployed.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SUM70N04-07L-E3 on a standard PCB?
The datasheet specifies RthJA = 40 °C/W when mounted on a 1" square FR-4 PCB. This value assumes no additional heatsinking and is used for worst-case ambient temperature estimation. For reliable operation, designers should verify actual board layout thermal performance using the SUM70N04-07L-E3's 1.4 °C/W RthJC and measured case temperature.
Can SUM70N04-07L-E3 be used in parallel configurations for higher current handling?
Yes. SUM70N04-07L-E3 exhibits positive temperature coefficient for rDS(on), enabling inherent current sharing when paralleled. Designers must ensure matched gate drive impedance and symmetrical PCB layout to avoid imbalance. The SUM70N04-07L-E3's low VGS(th) tolerance and consistent dynamic parameters support stable parallel operation in high-power motor inverters.
Is SUM70N04-07L-E3 suitable for avalanche-prone inductive loads like solenoids or relays?
Yes. SUM70N04-07L-E3 is rated for 80 mJ repetitive avalanche energy with L = 0.1 mH, making it suitable for driving inductive loads without external clamping. Its guaranteed avalanche capability-verified by design per datasheet note b-ensures reliability in relay drivers and solenoid control where SUM70N04-07L-E3 absorbs turn-off energy safely.
