Single-channel low-side switch for 12V and 24V loads
The Infineon BTS3134NHUMA1 is a single-channel low-side N-channel power switch from the HITFET® family, designed for general-purpose on/off switching of resistive, inductive, and lamp loads. It integrates a 35mOhm typical Rds(on) MOSFET with fixed current limiting, over-temperature protection, and over-voltage clamping — no external Vcc supply required, just the load voltage up to 42V.
The 35mOhm typical on-resistance and 3A continuous output are specified. For a 12V resistive load pulling 2A, the voltage drop across the switch stays under 100mV.
Fault protection set — no external clamp needed for most inductive loads
Built-in current limiting (fixed threshold), over-temperature shutdown, and over-voltage clamping cover the common failure modes for a low-side switch driving solenoids, relays, or incandescent lamps. The over-voltage clamp absorbs inductive flyback energy, so an external free-wheeling diode is optional for most loads — verify energy per pulse against the clamp rating in the datasheet. Over-temperature protection latches the output off until the junction cools, then restarts automatically. This protection set reduces external component count on the BOM.
The base product number BTS3134 covers the family.
