Active high-side switch for 12V/24V loads
The Infineon BTS436L2GATMA1 is a single-channel high-side power switch in a TO-263-5 (D²Pak) surface-mount package. It switches a resistive or inductive load up to 8.8 A continuous from a 4.75 V to 41 V supply rail, with a typical on-resistance of 35 mOhm (cite:,).
Fault protection and thermal envelope
The over-temperature protection is particularly useful for motor or lamp inrush loads where the junction may spike above 150 °C before the protection engages. The 35 mOhm Rds(on) (cite:) keeps conduction losses low — at 8.8 A the dissipation is roughly 2.7 W, well within the TO-263-5 package's capability when the exposed pad is soldered to a copper plane.
