Product details
Overview
2SJ673-AZ from Renesas Electronics is a P-channel power MOSFET designed for high-current DC switching in industrial and power conversion systems, featuring RDS(on) = 20 mΩ max at VGS = −10 V / ID = −18 A, −60 V VDSS, and 32 W total power dissipation at TC = 25°C. It integrates a built-in gate protection diode and supports robust avalanche energy handling (EAS = 130 mJ).
For engineers reviewing the 2SJ673-AZ datasheet, 2SJ673-AZ pinout, 2SJ673-AZ application, or 2SJ673-AZ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, TO-220 isolated package layout, switching timing data (td(off) = 130 ns), body diode recovery specs (trr = 52 ns), and real-world alternative part guidance for high-side switch and motor control designs.
Technical Context
The 2SJ673-AZ employs a vertical trench-gate structure optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in hard-switched topologies. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(off) = −1.5 to −2.5 V) enables reliable turn-on with standard logic-level drive, while its Ciss = 4600 pF (typ.) and QG = 87 nC support efficient gate driving at moderate frequencies up to ~100 kHz.
Designed for high-side configuration in buck converters, half-bridge inverters, and DC motor H-bridges, it leverages an isolated TO-220 package (MP-45F) where the drain tab is electrically isolated from the mounting surface-critical for floating gate drive and thermal management in multi-FET layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | −60 V - Supports 48 V bus systems with 20% derating margin against transients. |
| RDS(on)1 | 20 mΩ max @ VGS = −10 V / ID = −18 A - Enables ≤0.65 W conduction loss at full rated current. |
| ID(DC) | −36 A @ TC = 25°C - Sustains continuous load current in heatsink-mounted industrial power stages. |
| EAS | 130 mJ - Withstands single inductive turn-off events (e.g., relay coil or motor winding) without failure. |
| tr/tf | 14 ns / 50 ns - Enables clean edge transitions in PWM-driven switching with minimal overlap loss. |
| VF(S-D) | 1.0 V @ IF = −36 A - Low forward drop reduces body diode conduction loss during dead-time commutation. |
| QGD | 22 nC @ ID = −36 A - Gate-to-drain charge governs Miller plateau duration; critical for snubberless half-bridge design. |
Pinout & Package
2SJ673-AZ uses the Isolated TO-220 (MP-45F) package: metal tab (drain) is electrically isolated from leads; case temperature rating assumes heatsink contact to drain tab. Mounting screw hole (φ2.7 mm) enables secure mechanical attachment with thermal interface material.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Left) | Gate | High-impedance MOS control input; requires external gate resistor (RG) to damp ringing and limit peak current during switching. |
| 2 (Center) | Drain | Main high-side current path; electrically isolated tab allows direct heatsinking without insulation pad in floating configurations. |
| 3 (Right) | Source | Reference node for gate drive; connects to load return or upper rail in high-side switch topology. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Super low RDS(on) | 20 mΩ max at −10 V gate drive enables <0.7 W conduction loss at −18 A, reducing thermal stress in compact power modules. |
| Built-in gate protection diode | ESD-rated diode between gate and source suppresses ±20 V transient spikes-reduces need for external TVS in cost-sensitive industrial controls. |
| Low Ciss | 4600 pF typical minimizes gate drive power requirement and improves efficiency in 20–100 kHz switching applications. |
| Avalanche-rated | Rated for single-pulse IAS = −36 A and EAS = 130 mJ-supports unclamped inductive switching without external snubbers in relay drivers. |
Applications
| DC Motor Control | Industrial Power Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional H-bridge driver for 24–48 V brushed DC motors in factory automation actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side P-channel switch enabling simplified gate drive (no bootstrap needed) and fast reverse-recovery-limited freewheeling via integrated body diode. Use Value: RDS(on) ≤ 20 mΩ limits I²R heating at 20 A stall current; trr = 52 ns ensures minimal shoot-through risk during direction reversal. | Use Scenario: Synchronous rectification or high-side switch in 48 V input telecom/industrial SMPS with >10 A output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary switching element in non-isolated buck or buck-boost converter operating at 50–100 kHz. Use Value: QG = 87 nC and Ciss = 4600 pF allow efficient drive with low-power gate drivers; 32 W PT supports forced-air-cooled 150 W designs. |
| Relay Replacement | Overvoltage Protection Switch |
Use Scenario: Solid-state replacement for electromechanical relays controlling 36 V DC solenoids or valves in building HVAC systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unclamped inductive switch absorbing stored energy via avalanche mode during turn-off. Use Value: EAS = 130 mJ exceeds typical solenoid energy (≤80 mJ), eliminating need for external flyback diodes or RC snubbers. | Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity and overvoltage protection circuit upstream of sensitive 24 V PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: P-channel high-side pass transistor controlled by dedicated protection IC (e.g., TPS2660). Use Value: VDSS = −60 V provides 100% margin over 24 V nominal + 30 V surge; RDS(on) ≤ 20 mΩ adds <500 mW loss at 10 A fault current. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXTP10P60P | VDSS = −60 V, RDS(on) = 220 mΩ @ −10 V - 11× higher on-resistance; lower QG (32 nC). | Suitable only for <2 A loads; not viable for 18–36 A 2SJ673-AZ use cases. | Select only when ultra-low gate charge dominates over conduction loss in low-current, high-frequency apps. |
| IRF9540NPBF | VDSS = −100 V, RDS(on) = 200 mΩ @ −10 V - wider voltage margin but 10× higher RDS(on). | Acceptable for 5–10 A backup supplies; cannot replace 2SJ673-AZ in 18+ A motor drives without thermal redesign. | Choose only if −100 V rating is mandatory and load current is ≤8 A with adequate heatsinking. |
Compared with IXTP10P60P and IRF9540NPBF, the 2SJ673-AZ delivers uniquely low RDS(on) in the −60 V class-enabling 18–36 A operation without paralleling, while maintaining manageable QG and avalanche ruggedness essential for industrial reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the 2SJ673-AZ at 75°C case temperature?
The 2SJ673-AZ supports ID(DC) = −36 A at TC = 25°C, derating linearly to approximately −24 A at TC = 75°C per the datasheet's total power dissipation curve. This reflects thermal limitation-not device degradation-and assumes proper heatsinking per the Rth(ch-C) = 3.9°C/W specification. Always verify junction temperature using Tj = TC + (Ptot × Rth(ch-C)) in final layout.
Does the 2SJ673-AZ require an external gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, the 2SJ673-AZ requires an external gate resistor to control dV/dt, suppress oscillation, and limit peak gate current. For typical 50–100 kHz switching with a ±15 V gate driver, a 10–22 Ω resistor is recommended-verified in the datasheet's test circuit for td(off) and EAS characterization. Lower values increase switching speed but risk ringing; higher values reduce EMI at the cost of increased switching loss.
Can the 2SJ673-AZ be used in parallel with identical units for higher current handling?
Yes, the 2SJ673-AZ supports paralleling due to its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on), which promotes current sharing as temperature rises. However, matched gate drive layout (equal trace length/impedance), individual gate resistors, and symmetrical thermal mounting are mandatory. Derate total current by ≥15% versus sum of individual ratings to account for parameter spread and thermal coupling.
Is the body diode in the 2SJ673-AZ suitable for continuous freewheeling conduction?
The body diode of the 2SJ673-AZ has VF(S-D) = 1.0 V at −36 A and trr = 52 ns, making it usable for short-duration freewheeling (e.g., dead-time commutation). However, it is not rated for continuous forward conduction above 10 A without significant self-heating. For sustained reverse-current paths, an external Schottky or SiC diode is strongly advised to avoid thermal runaway.
What is the isolation voltage rating between the drain tab and leads in the 2SJ673-AZ TO-220 package?
The 2SJ673-AZ's Isolated TO-220 (MP-45F) package provides 2500 VRMS isolation between the drain tab and all leads, as confirmed by Renesas' package qualification testing. This enables safe use in floating high-side configurations without insulating pads-provided creepage/clearance on PCB meets IEC 61000-4-5 requirements for the target system voltage class.
