In diverse high-voltage, high-current application scenarios such as industrial motor drives, power supplies, inverters, and UPS systems, ROHM's R6009KNX N-channel power MOSFET has been a key component for engineers globally due to its balanced performance. However, in the context of ongoing global supply chain challenges and trade uncertainties, this imported part presents growing pain points: extended and unpredictable lead times, procurement costs vulnerable to currency fluctuations, and often delayed technical support. These issues significantly impact production schedules and cost management for downstream manufacturers. This industry demand has turned domestic substitution from an "alternative" into a "necessity," representing a critical strategy for enterprises to ensure supply chain security, optimize costs, and strengthen core competitiveness.
Leveraging years of expertise in power semiconductors, VBsemi introduces the VBMB165R09S N-channel power MOSFET, developed through independent R&D. This product serves as a precise domestic alternative to the R6009KNX, offering core advantages of parameter enhancement, technological equivalence, and full package compatibility. It acts as a direct drop-in replacement without requiring circuit modifications, delivering a more stable, cost-effective, and locally supported high-quality solution for various high-power electronic systems.
Comprehensive Parameter Enhancement, Robust Performance, Ready for Demanding Conditions.
Designed as a domestic substitute for the R6009KNX, the VBMB165R09S achieves significant improvements in key electrical parameters, providing stronger performance guarantees for high-current applications:
Firstly, the drain-source voltage is increased to 650V, offering a 50V higher margin than the original 600V—an 8.3% improvement. This upgrade provides greater safety headroom in environments with grid fluctuations or transient overvoltage risks, effectively preventing device failure due to overvoltage breakdown.
Secondly, the continuous drain current is maintained at a robust 9A, matching the original model's current-carrying capability. This ensures reliable performance in high-power circuit designs, supporting both equipment upgrades and enhanced operational stability.
Thirdly, the on-state resistance is specified at 550mΩ (@10V gate drive), offering comparable conduction performance to the R6009KNX's 535mΩ@10V. This low RDS(on) minimizes conduction losses, contributing to higher overall system efficiency. In high-frequency switching applications, it helps reduce heat generation, easing thermal design constraints.
Additionally, the VBMB165R09S supports a ±30V gate-source voltage, enhancing gate ESD protection and noise immunity, which prevents unintended turn-on in noisy environments. The 3.5V gate threshold voltage ensures compatibility with mainstream driver ICs, requiring no drive circuit adjustments and simplifying the substitution process.
Advanced SJ_Multi-EPI Technology, Delivering Enhanced Reliability and Stability.
The R6009KNX is recognized for its reliable performance in power applications. The VBMB165R09S employs advanced SJ_Multi-EPI (Super Junction Multi-Epitaxial) technology, building upon strong switching characteristics while optimizing device reliability. The device undergoes rigorous pre-shipment testing, including 100% avalanche energy testing, ensuring robust performance against energy surges during high-voltage switching. Through optimized internal capacitance design, it reduces switching losses and enhances dv/dt tolerance, making it fully suitable for the R6009KNX's application scenarios. Stable operation is maintained even under high-frequency switching and fast transient conditions. Furthermore, the VBMB165R09S features an operational temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, adapting to harsh industrial and outdoor environments. It has passed extended reliability tests, including high-temperature/high-humidity aging, ensuring a low failure rate ideal for critical applications such as industrial controls, power supplies, and motor drives.
Fully Compatible Package, Enabling Seamless Drop-In Replacement.
A primary concern in component substitution is the engineering effort required. The VBMB165R09S addresses this through its package design. The device uses a standard TO-220F package, which is fully compatible with the R6009KNX in pinout, pin spacing, dimensions, and heatsink mounting. Engineers can replace the component without modifying the PCB layout or thermal design, achieving true "plug-and-play" substitution. This high compatibility reduces verification time—sample validation can typically be completed within 1-2 days—and eliminates costs associated with PCB re-design, mold changes, or re-certification. It shortens the supply chain cycle, allowing enterprises to swiftly transition from imported to domestic components.
