AOY423 MOSFET — Specifications & Equivalents
About the AOY423
The AOY423 is a P-channel MOSFET with a drain–source voltage (VDS) rating of 30 V, a continuous drain current (ID) of 70 A and an on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 0.0085 Ω. It can dissipate up to 90 W and is rated to a junction temperature of 175 °C. It is supplied in the TO-251B package.

Typical applications
With its 30 V drain–source rating the AOY423 sits in the low-voltage class of switching MOSFETs, typically found in 12 V and 24 V automotive and industrial rails, synchronous buck converters, load switching and reverse-polarity protection and H-bridges for small motors.
The 70 A current rating puts it in high-current territory, where conduction loss (I² × RDS(on)) and thermal design usually matter more than switching loss. Budget for adequate copper area and a heatsink.
The low 0.0085 Ω on-resistance keeps conduction loss down, which suits synchronous rectification and continuous high-current paths.
Gate drive and switching notes
Keep gate–source voltage within the ±25 V maximum; exceeding it punctures the gate oxide and destroys the device permanently.
Switching behaviour is characterised by a rise time of 23 ns and an output capacitance (Coss) of 550 pF, which together with the gate drive determines switching loss and the practical upper frequency limit.
Choosing a replacement for the AOY423
A drop-in substitute for the AOY423 must be the same P-channel type and offer a drain–source rating of at least 30 V, a continuous drain current rating of at least 70 A and an on-resistance no higher than 0.0085 Ω if efficiency and heat matter.
Mechanically, check the replacement against the TO-251B 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 AOY423?
The AOY423 is a P-channel MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 30 V drain-source and 70 A continuous drain current.
What is the maximum voltage of the AOY423?
The AOY423 has a maximum drain-source voltage (Vds) of 30 V. Treat this as an absolute maximum and design with margin, especially when switching inductive loads.
How much current can the AOY423 handle?
It is rated for 70 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 90 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.
What is the on-resistance of the AOY423?
On-resistance (Rds(on)) is 0.0085 Ω. Multiply by the square of your load current to estimate conduction loss.
What package does the AOY423 come in?
It is listed in TO-251B. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.
What can I use to replace the AOY423?
No verified equivalents are listed yet. Choose a part of the same polarity that meets or exceeds every rating above and shares a compatible package and pinout.
