IRLS3036-7PPBF N-Channel 60V 240A MOSFET Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IRLS3036-7PPBF is an N-Channel MOSFET manufactured by Infineon Technologies, rated for 60V drain-to-source voltage and 240A continuous drain current in a D2PAK surface mount package. This device is part of the HEXFET® series and is classified as discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Due to its discontinued status, equivalent substitute parts with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications are necessary for design continuity and procurement alternatives. Substitute parts maintain the same voltage rating, package form factor, and operating temperature range while accommodating variations in current handling and on-resistance characteristics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IRLS3036-7PPBF is determined by the following critical parameters:

Voltage Rating Compatibility: All substitute parts must maintain the 60V Vdss rating to ensure safe operation within the same circuit topology and voltage stress limits.

Package Compatibility: Substitute parts must use D2PAK surface mount packaging (TO-263 form factor) to ensure mechanical fit and thermal interface compatibility with existing PCB layouts and heatsinking arrangements.

Operating Temperature Range: All substitute parts must support the -55°C to 175°C operating temperature range to maintain functional equivalence across the full application temperature spectrum.

Current Handling: While the main part is rated for 240A continuous drain current, substitute parts with lower current ratings (120A) remain functionally equivalent for applications where the full 240A capability is not required. The lower current rating does not prevent substitution in current-limited applications.

On-Resistance and Gate Characteristics: Variations in Rds On, gate charge, and threshold voltage are acceptable within the bounds of the specified electrical parameters, as these characteristics remain within acceptable operating margins for the 60V voltage class.

Compliance and Certification: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory equivalence.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BUK762R4-60E,118 (Nexperia USA Inc.): This substitute maintains active product status and carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, providing long-term availability and supply chain stability. The 120A continuous drain current rating is suitable for applications where the full 240A capability of the main part is not required. The device is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and maintains all compliance requirements.

FDB024N06 (onsemi): This substitute is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating limited future availability. The 120A continuous drain current and 395W power dissipation rating provide thermal performance comparable to the main part. The device is supplied in Cut Tape packaging and maintains all compliance requirements. Selection of this part should account for its end-of-life status.

SUM50020EL-GE3 (Vishay Siliconix): This substitute maintains active product status and offers the lowest gate charge specification (126 nC @ 10V) among the available options, which may provide switching efficiency advantages in certain applications. The 120A continuous drain current rating is suitable for current-limited applications. The device is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and maintains all compliance requirements.

All three substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, maintain unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and operate across the full -55°C to 175°C temperature range. Selection should be based on application current requirements, long-term availability needs, and specific performance characteristics required by the circuit design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BUK762R4-60E,118 be used as a direct replacement for the IRLS3036-7PPBF?

A: The BUK762R4-60E,118 is electrically compatible for applications where the continuous drain current requirement does not exceed 120A. Both devices share the same 60V Vdss rating, D2PAK package form factor, and -55°C to 175°C operating temperature range. The lower current rating does not prevent substitution in current-limited designs.

Q: What is the significance of the D2PAK package variation between the main part (7-Lead) and substitute parts (2 Leads + Tab)?

A: The main part uses a 7-lead D2PAK configuration, while substitute parts use the standard 2-lead plus tab D2PAK configuration. Both are TO-263 form factor devices and are mechanically compatible with standard D2PAK PCB footprints. The functional electrical connections remain equivalent.

Q: Why does the FDB024N06 have a higher gate charge specification (226 nC) compared to the main part (160 nC)?

A: Gate charge variation is a characteristic difference between device families and manufacturing processes. The higher gate charge in the FDB024N06 results in slightly longer switching times but does not prevent functional substitution. Circuit designs should verify that gate drive characteristics remain within acceptable operating margins.

Q: Is the SUM50020EL-GE3 suitable for high-frequency switching applications?

A: The SUM50020EL-GE3 exhibits the lowest gate charge specification (126 nC @ 10V) among the available substitutes, which may provide advantages in high-frequency switching applications by reducing switching losses. However, final suitability depends on the specific circuit topology and switching frequency requirements.

Q: What is the impact of selecting a substitute part with lower continuous drain current (120A vs. 240A)?

A: Substitution with a lower current-rated device is valid only for applications where the actual continuous drain current does not exceed the substitute part's rating. Circuit analysis must confirm that the application current profile remains within the 120A limit. Exceeding this rating will result in thermal stress and device failure.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The BUK762R4-60E,118 carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. The FDB024N06 and SUM50020EL-GE3 do not list automotive qualification in the provided specifications. Selection for automotive applications should prioritize the BUK762R4-60E,118 or verify alternative qualification status through manufacturer documentation.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is supplied on continuous carrier tape suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape packaging is supplied as individual segments cut from the carrier tape. Both formats are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes; selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment capabilities.

Q: Can the IRLS3036-7PPBF be restocked, or is substitution the only option?

A: The IRLS3036-7PPBF is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making restocking unavailable through standard distribution channels. Substitution with active or Last Time Buy alternatives is the appropriate procurement strategy for new designs and ongoing production requirements.
