AON7446 MOSFET — Specifications & Equivalents

About the AON7446

The AON7446 is a MOSFET with a drain–source voltage (V_DS) rating of 60 V and a continuous drain current (I_D) of 8 A. It can dissipate up to 16.7 W and is rated to a junction temperature of 150 °C. It is supplied in the DFN3X3EP package.

Typical applications

With its 60 V drain–source rating the AON7446 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.

Gate drive and switching notes

Keep gate–source voltage within the ±20 V maximum; exceeding it punctures the gate oxide and destroys the device permanently.

Switching behaviour is characterised by an output capacitance (C_oss) of 25 pF, which together with the gate drive determines switching loss and the practical upper frequency limit.

Choosing a replacement for the AON7446

A drop-in substitute for the AON7446 should match its polarity and offer a drain–source rating of at least 60 V and a continuous drain current rating of at least 8 A.

Mechanically, check the replacement against the DFN3X3EP footprint and confirm the pin order — parts sharing a package outline do not always share a pinout.

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 AON7446?

The AON7446 is a MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 60 V drain-source and 8 A continuous drain current.

What is the maximum voltage of the AON7446?

The AON7446 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 AON7446 handle?

It is rated for 8 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 16.7 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.

What package does the AON7446 come in?

It is listed in DFN3X3EP. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.

What can I use to replace the AON7446?

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.
