MTP36N06V N-Channel 60V 32A MOSFET Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MTP36N06V is an N-Channel MOSFET manufactured by onsemi, rated for 60V drain-to-source voltage with 32A continuous drain current at 25°C. This device is packaged in TO-220-3 through-hole configuration and is designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications. The MTP36N06V is classified as obsolete product status. Due to its obsolescence, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MTP36N06V is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Drain-to-Source Voltage (Vdss): Must equal or exceed 60V
• Continuous Drain Current (Id): Must equal or exceed 32A at 25°C
• Package Type: Must be TO-220-3 through-hole configuration
• FET Type: Must be N-Channel MOSFET technology
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 175°C

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Rds On (Max): Lower or equal values indicate improved performance
• Gate Charge (Qg): Lower values indicate faster switching characteristics
• Power Dissipation: Equal or higher ratings ensure thermal compatibility

The substitute parts identified below meet all critical parameters and maintain functional equivalence within the specified electrical and thermal operating envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FQP30N06L (onsemi): This substitute meets all critical electrical parameters with 32A continuous drain current matching the MTP36N06V specification. The FQP30N06L demonstrates improved gate charge characteristics (20 nC versus 50 nC) and lower Rds On (35 mOhm versus 40 mOhm), resulting in enhanced switching performance and reduced power dissipation. The device maintains ROHS3 compliance and is classified as obsolete, consistent with the original part status. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs.

FQP30N06 (onsemi): This substitute provides 30A continuous drain current, which is 2A below the MTP36N06V specification. The FQP30N06 maintains 60V Vdss rating and identical Rds On characteristics. Gate charge is reduced to 25 nC, improving switching speed. ROHS3 compliance is achieved. Selection of this part requires verification that the 30A rating is sufficient for the application's maximum drain current requirements.

STP36NF06L (STMicroelectronics): This substitute is the only active product among the identified equivalents, providing long-term availability assurance. The STP36NF06L delivers 30A continuous drain current with 60V Vdss rating. Superior gate charge performance (17 nC) and lower input capacitance (660 pF) enable faster switching response. ROHS3 compliance and active product status support modern supply chain requirements. The 30A rating requires application-level current verification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FQP30N06 or STP36NF06L be used as direct replacements if they have 30A instead of 32A rating?

A: Direct replacement depends on the application's actual maximum drain current requirement. If the circuit operates at or below 30A, these substitutes are functionally equivalent. If sustained operation above 30A is required, these parts are not suitable. The MTP36N06V and FQP30N06L both support 32A operation and are preferred for applications requiring the full 32A specification.

Q: What is the significance of the lower gate charge in substitute parts?

A: Gate charge (Qg) determines the energy required to switch the MOSFET on and off. Lower gate charge values (FQP30N06L at 20 nC, STP36NF06L at 17 nC versus MTP36N06V at 50 nC) result in faster switching transitions, reduced switching losses, and improved efficiency in high-frequency applications. This is a performance advantage in switching power supplies and motor control circuits.

Q: Why is STP36NF06L recommended despite having 30A instead of 32A?

A: STP36NF06L is the only active product among the substitutes, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. For applications operating at 30A or below, this part provides superior performance characteristics and modern compliance certifications. For applications requiring 32A operation, FQP30N06L is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are all substitute parts pin-compatible with MTP36N06V?

A: All identified substitutes use TO-220-3 package configuration with identical pin assignments (Gate, Drain, Source). Physical and electrical pin compatibility is confirmed. PCB layout modifications are not required for substitution.

Q: What is the impact of RoHS compliance differences?

A: MTP36N06V is RoHS non-compliant, while all substitute parts (FQP30N06, FQP30N06L, STP36NF06L) are ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, substitute parts satisfy compliance mandates. For legacy systems without RoHS requirements, both compliant and non-compliant parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes, all substitute parts maintain TO-220-3 through-hole package compatibility and identical pin configuration. No PCB redesign is required. Thermal management considerations remain consistent due to similar power dissipation ratings. Substitution can be performed at component level without circuit modification.
