CRTS030N04L MOSFET — Specifications & Equivalents

About the CRTS030N04L

The CRTS030N04L is a MOSFET with a drain–source voltage (V_DS) rating of 40 V and a continuous drain current (I_D) of 80 A. It can dissipate up to 175 W and is rated to a junction temperature of 150 °C. It is supplied in the TO263 package.

Typical applications

With its 40 V drain–source rating the CRTS030N04L 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 80 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 ±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 686 pF, which together with the gate drive determines switching loss and the practical upper frequency limit.

Choosing a replacement for the CRTS030N04L

A drop-in substitute for the CRTS030N04L should match its polarity and offer a drain–source rating of at least 40 V and a continuous drain current rating of at least 80 A.

Mechanically, check the replacement against the TO263 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 CRTS030N04L?

The CRTS030N04L is a MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 40 V drain-source and 80 A continuous drain current.

What is the maximum voltage of the CRTS030N04L?

The CRTS030N04L has a maximum drain-source voltage (Vds) of 40 V. Treat this as an absolute maximum and design with margin, especially when switching inductive loads.

How much current can the CRTS030N04L handle?

It is rated for 80 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 175 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.

What package does the CRTS030N04L come in?

It is listed in TO263. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.

What can I use to replace the CRTS030N04L?

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.
