N-channel 55 V logic-level MOSFET for automotive and industrial switching
The Infineon AUIRLZ44ZL is an N-channel logic-level power MOSFET in the HEXFET series, rated at 55 V drain-source breakdown and 51 A continuous drain current, housed in a TO-220AB through-hole package. It is AEC-Q101 qualified, making it suited for automotive powertrain, transmission control, and electric power-steering applications where junction temperatures can reach 175 °C. Gate charge is 36 nC at 5 V, which means a modest gate driver can switch this part at moderate frequencies without excessive drive power. The maximum gate-source voltage is ±16 V — exceeding that during overshoot or ringing damages the oxide; ensure the drive circuit clamps within that window.
The manufacturer lists the AUIRLZ44ZL as Active (current production). Because it is a current-production automotive-grade MOSFET, date-code freshness and full AEC-Q101 traceability are expected from authorized supply. Any surplus stock surfacing far outside the normal production window should be verified for counterfeit risk.
