2SK3440 MOSFET — Specifications & Equivalents

About the 2SK3440

The 2SK3440 is a MOSFET with a drain–source voltage (V_DS) rating of 60 V and a continuous drain current (I_D) of 50 A. It can dissipate up to 125 W and is rated to a junction temperature of 150 °C. It is available in TFP and SC97 packages, so confirm the pinout of the exact variant you order.

Typical applications

With its 60 V drain–source rating the 2SK3440 sits in the mid-range class of switching MOSFETs, typically found in 24 V and 48 V industrial and battery systems, motor drives and H-bridges and load and hot-swap switching.

The 50 A current rating puts it in high-current territory, where conduction loss (I² × R_DS(on)) and thermal design usually matter more than switching loss. Budget for adequate copper area and a heatsink.

Gate drive and switching notes

Keep gate–source voltage within the ±30 V maximum; exceeding it punctures the gate oxide and destroys the device permanently.

Switching behaviour is characterised by an output capacitance (C_oss) of 1320 pF, which together with the gate drive determines switching loss and the practical upper frequency limit.

Choosing a replacement for the 2SK3440

A drop-in substitute for the 2SK3440 should match its polarity and offer a drain–source rating of at least 60 V and a continuous drain current rating of at least 50 A.

Mechanically, check the replacement against the TFP and SC97 footprint and confirm the pin order — parts sharing a package outline do not always share a pinout.

Because 2SK3440 is a JIS-registered part number rather than one vendor's proprietary series, it is produced by several manufacturers. Datasheet figures vary slightly between them, so check the datasheet of the brand you actually buy — this also makes like-for-like sourcing easier.

Where the application switches inductive loads or runs near the voltage limit, keep extra headroom rather than choosing a part that only just meets the original numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 2SK3440?

The 2SK3440 is a MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 60 V drain-source and 50 A continuous drain current.

What is the maximum voltage of the 2SK3440?

The 2SK3440 has a maximum drain-source voltage (Vds) of 60 V. Treat this as an absolute maximum and design with margin, especially when switching inductive loads.

How much current can the 2SK3440 handle?

It is rated for 50 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 125 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.

What package does the 2SK3440 come in?

It is listed in TFP and SC97. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.

What can I use to replace the 2SK3440?

This page lists 17 candidate equivalents matched on electrical ratings and package. Any replacement should meet or exceed the original voltage, current and dissipation figures and use a compatible drive level.
