Q4040J7TP from Littelfuse, in a TO-218-3. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MT1 | passive | Main terminal 1, to which all device voltages and gate-trigger polarities are referenced (Figure 1); the datasheet gives no separate pin-number marking for this terminal. |
| 2 | MT2 | passive | Main terminal 2, the bidirectional switched terminal; the device is rated for VDRM/VRRM of 400 V for this 400 V variant and IT(RMS) of 40 A at TC = 75 °C. |
| 3 | Gate | input | Gate trigger input for Qxx40J7 (100 mA max IGT in quadrants I-III, 2.0 V max VGT at VD = 12 V); peak gate current is limited to 4 A (tp = 20 µs, TJ = 125 °C) and average gate power to 0.5 W. |
