The NP60N04VUK-E1-AY: The Nexperia NP60N04VUK--AY is a 40 V, 60 A N-channel MOSFET in the TO-252-3 (DPak) surface-mount package. It is specified for a junction temperature up to 175°C.
3.85 mOhm Rds(on) — conduction loss at 30 A
At 30 A and 10 V the Rds(on) is 3.85 mOhm. The gate can tolerate up to ±20 V.
Gate charge and switching speed
Total gate charge is 63 nC at 10 V. Input capacitance is 3680 pF at 25 V drain-source.
Thermal handling and package
The TO-252-3 (DPak) package has a large exposed tab that is electrically the drain. Power dissipation is 1.2 W in still air at 25°C ambient, but jumps to 105 W when the tab is soldered to a sufficient copper area on the PCB — the tab-to-ambient thermal resistance is what limits the real current. The 175°C junction rating gives headroom in high-ambient enclosures.
