FDP6030L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FDP6030L is an N-Channel MOSFET manufactured by onsemi, rated for 30V drain-to-source voltage with 48A continuous drain current in a Through Hole TO-220-3 package. This device is classified as Obsolete product status. Due to obsolescence, equivalent and substitute parts must be evaluated based on electrical and mechanical parameter compatibility to ensure functional replacement in existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FDP6030L is determined by the following critical parameters:

Voltage Rating Compatibility: All substitute parts must maintain the 30V Vdss rating to ensure safe operation within the same voltage domain.

Current Handling Capability: The FDP6030L delivers 48A continuous drain current. Substitute parts must meet or exceed this current specification to maintain equivalent performance in high-current applications.

On-State Resistance (Rds On): The 13mOhm specification at 26A, 10V establishes the conduction loss profile. Substitute parts with comparable or lower Rds On values preserve thermal and efficiency characteristics.

Package and Mounting: The TO-220-3 Through Hole package is a mechanical requirement for board-level compatibility and thermal management.

Gate Drive Characteristics: Gate threshold voltage, gate charge, and input capacitance determine drive circuit compatibility and switching performance.

Temperature Range: The operating temperature specification of -65°C to 175°C establishes the thermal envelope for application suitability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

NTP4813NLG (onsemi): This part is Active product status and ROHS3 compliant. It maintains the 30V Vdss rating and TO-220-3 package compatibility. However, the continuous drain current rating of 10.2A is significantly lower than the FDP6030L's 48A specification. This part is suitable only for applications where the required current does not exceed 10.2A. The Rds On value of 13.1mOhm is comparable to the main part, and the gate drive characteristics are similar.

PSMN022-30PL,127 (Nexperia USA Inc.): This part maintains the 30V Vdss rating and is ROHS3 compliant. The continuous drain current rating of 30A is lower than the FDP6030L's 48A but higher than the NTP4813NLG. The package designation is TO-220AB, which is mechanically compatible with TO-220-3 applications. The Rds On value of 22mOhm is higher than the main part, resulting in increased conduction losses. This part is suitable for applications requiring 30A or less. The product status is Obsolete, matching the main part's status.

For applications requiring the full 48A current capability of the FDP6030L, neither substitute part provides equivalent current handling. Selection between these substitutes depends on actual application current requirements and thermal management constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NTP4813NLG replace the FDP6030L in all applications?

A: No. The NTP4813NLG is rated for 10.2A continuous drain current, while the FDP6030L is rated for 48A. The NTP4813NLG is suitable only for applications where the required current does not exceed 10.2A. Both parts share the same 30V Vdss rating and TO-220-3 package.

Q: What is the difference between TO-220-3 and TO-220AB packages?

A: Both are Through Hole packages with three leads. TO-220-3 and TO-220AB are mechanically compatible for board-level mounting. The PSMN022-30PL,127 is specified as TO-220AB and can be used in TO-220-3 footprints.

Q: Is the PSMN022-30PL,127 a direct replacement for the FDP6030L?

A: The PSMN022-30PL,127 maintains the 30V Vdss rating and TO-220AB package compatibility. However, the continuous drain current is 30A versus 48A for the FDP6030L. The higher Rds On value (22mOhm versus 13mOhm) results in increased power dissipation. This part is suitable for applications requiring 30A or less.

Q: Why is the gate charge specification different between parts?

A: Gate charge is measured at different Vgs levels for each part. The FDP6030L specifies 18nC @ 5V, while the NTP4813NLG specifies 17nC @ 11.5V, and the PSMN022-30PL,127 specifies 9nC @ 10V. These differences reflect the device design and do not prevent substitution if the gate drive circuit is compatible with the specified threshold voltage and maximum Vgs rating of ±20V.

Q: What does Rds On (on-state resistance) mean for substitution?

A: Rds On determines the voltage drop across the transistor when conducting. Lower Rds On values result in lower conduction losses and less heat generation. The FDP6030L has 13mOhm, the NTP4813NLG has 13.1mOhm (comparable), and the PSMN022-30PL,127 has 22mOhm (higher losses). For high-current applications, lower Rds On is preferable.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: The NTP4813NLG and PSMN022-30PL,127 are both ROHS3 compliant. The FDP6030L does not specify RoHS status. All three parts are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: What is the minimum operating temperature difference between parts?

A: The FDP6030L operates from -65°C to 175°C, while both substitute parts operate from -55°C to 175°C. The FDP6030L has a 10°C lower minimum operating temperature. For applications requiring operation below -55°C, the FDP6030L is required.

Q: How does input capacitance affect substitution?

A: Input capacitance (Ciss) affects gate drive circuit design and switching speed. The FDP6030L has 1250pF, the NTP4813NLG has 895pF, and the PSMN022-30PL,127 has 447pF. Lower capacitance allows faster switching and reduces gate drive power requirements. These differences are not substitution barriers if the gate drive circuit is designed for the specified capacitance range.
