Nexperia has recently released single and dual small-signal MOSFETs in miniature DFN packages. These automotive-qualified devices are available in DFN1110D-3 and DFN1412-6 respectively. Particularly the DFN1110D-3 (1.1 mm x 1 mm) package has seen increasingly wide adoption and is quickly becoming the ‘de-facto’ industry standard package for small-signal MOSFETs and bipolar transistors intended for use in automotive applications.
DFN1110D-3 and DFN1412-6 are leadless packages that offer superior thermal performance, with almost 50% lower thermal resistance from junction to ambient (Rthjs), from a tiny footprint (up to 80% smaller). This makes them a highly attractive alternative to established high-volume leaded enclosures such as SOT23, SOT323, SOT363, or SOT666, thereby addressing the automotive industry's relentless demand for miniaturized components. The DFN1110-D-3 also features side-wettable flanks to support lower-cost automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints, which also helps to improve reliability.
With more than 100 products available in DFN1110D-3 and 43 products in DFN1412-6, Nexperia boasts the industry’s largest portfolio of devices in these emerging packages. This latest release makes Nexperia the industry’s sole supplier of single and dual small signal MOSFETs in DFN1110D-3 and DFN1412-6 packages.
These new products also join the Q-portfolio of Nexperia devices. The Q-portfolio is dedicated to providing high-quality products that not only meet established standards such as AEC-Q101 but also ensure automatic compliance with future automotive requirements. Additionally, the portfolio offers extended service support and guarantees longevity of more than 10 years.
