7 mOhm Rds(on) — conduction loss floor for a 12 A load
The Infineon BTS500701TMBAKSA1 is a single-channel PROFET high-side switch in a TO-220-7 through-hole package. It drives a 12 A continuous load from a 5.5 V to 30 V supply rail, with a typical on-resistance of 7 mOhm — that sets the conduction loss at about 1 W at full current, which the TO-220 tab can shed into a heatsink or board copper without derating up to 150°C junction.
Fault protection — what the built-in checks cover
The switch integrates fixed current limiting, open-load detection, over-temperature shutdown, and over-voltage clamping. That means the downstream load sees a controlled current foldback during a short, and the part latches off if the die temperature exceeds the threshold — no external sense resistor or comparator needed.
Obsolete — sourcing through independent distribution
Infineon lists this part as obsolete.
