Hi,
I want to create a DC "switch" for a upcoming RC car product. Can i use 2 BTS50010-1TAE in parallel to increase
the current?
Form my 1rst prototype consumes ~20A in normal operation and up to 35A for 1-3 sec.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
PROFETs are more than a stand alone MOSFET: they come with an internal gate driver taking care of control, diagnosis and protection of the internal MOSFET.
Paralleling PROFETs may lead to reduced robustness against short-circuits.
Considering the use case: BTS50010-1TAE is able to drive 35A for 1-3 seconds, since the ambient temperature in a RC car is hardly aboe 40/50°C.
one single device should be sufficient. The component has to be soldered on a PCB with reasonable cooling capability (power planes to dissipate the power bigger than the footprint itself).

Hi,
PROFETs may be paralleled but in a very limited application conditions. The devices have integrated protection features. Hence while operating PROFET's in parallel, there can be a risk of asymmetric turn off of the switches during short circuit or overtemperature faults which can result in stress on only one device. Hence it is not a recommended configuration for all applications.
Additionally , you can refer the following links to know about other factors which affects the operation of MOSFET's when they are in parallel.
