Product details
Overview
2SK1160-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon N-channel power MOSFET designed for high-speed switching in DC-DC converters, switching regulators, and motor drivers. It features 500 V drain-to-source breakdown voltage, 0.60 Ω typical RDS(on) at 4 A/10 V, 8 A continuous drain current, and TO-220AB package with isolated flange for thermal management.
For engineers reviewing the 2SK1160-E datasheet, 2SK1160-E pinout, 2SK1160-E application, or 2SK1160-E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated terminal roles, confirmed thermal derating behavior, and real-world switching performance data - all specific to the 2SK1160-E variant.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional high-voltage power switch with no secondary breakdown limitation, enabling robust hard-switching operation. Its gate threshold voltage (2.0–3.0 V) and low input capacitance (1150 pF Ciss) support efficient drive with standard logic-level gate drivers.
Designed for linear and saturated-mode switching, it delivers 17 ns turn-on delay and 100 ns turn-off delay under 4 A/10 V gate drive into 7.5 Ω load. The integrated body diode exhibits 0.9 V forward voltage at 8 A and 350 ns reverse recovery time, suitable for freewheeling in non-synchronous topologies.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP5NK50ZFP | 500 V VDSS, 0.95 Ω RDS(on), TO-220FP package (non-isolated flange) | Higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss; non-isolated flange requires insulating washer | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal efficiency; verify isolation requirements |
| IRF840APBF | 500 V VDSS, 0.85 Ω RDS(on), TO-220AB package, 140 ns td(off) | Slower switching increases dynamic loss above 200 kHz; same mechanical footprint | Prefer for lower-frequency (<150 kHz), higher-voltage margin designs where gate drive simplicity is critical |
Compared with STP5NK50ZFP and IRF840APBF, the 2SK1160-E offers the lowest RDS(on) and fastest td(off) in TO-220AB, making it optimal for thermally constrained, medium-frequency power stages requiring minimal gate drive energy.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the 2SK1160-E?
The 2SK1160-E has a maximum continuous drain current (ID) of 8 A at TC = 25°C. This rating assumes proper heatsinking and derates linearly to zero at 150°C channel temperature. At 100°C case temperature, the usable ID drops to approximately 4.5 A per the published thermal derating curve on page 3 of the datasheet.
Does the 2SK1160-E have an integrated body diode, and what are its key characteristics?
Yes, the 2SK1160-E includes an integrated body diode with 0.9 V forward voltage at 8 A and 350 ns reverse recovery time (trr) under specified test conditions (diF/dt = 100 A/µs). This diode supports freewheeling in non-synchronous topologies but is not optimized for synchronous rectification due to its relatively slow recovery.
What is the gate-to-source voltage limit for the 2SK1160-E, and why is it important?
The 2SK1160-E specifies ±30 V as the absolute maximum gate-to-source voltage (VGSS). Exceeding this can permanently damage the gate oxide. Designers must ensure gate drive circuits include clamping (e.g., Zener diodes) and avoid ringing or overshoot, especially in high-dV/dt environments common in hard-switched power supplies.
Can the 2SK1160-E be used in linear (active) mode, and what limits its safe operating area?
Yes - the 2SK1160-E is explicitly characterized for linear operation and features "no secondary breakdown," meaning its Safe Operating Area (SOA) is limited only by thermal constraints and RDS(on), not by avalanche or snapback failure. The published SOA curve on page 3 confirms stable operation up to 100 V/1 A with 10 ms pulse width.
What is the thermal resistance from channel to case (θch–c) for the 2SK1160-E, and how does it affect heatsink selection?
The 2SK1160-E has a channel-to-case thermal resistance (θch–c) of 2.08°C/W, measured under standard test conditions. When combined with a heatsink's θca, this value determines total thermal resistance and thus allowable power dissipation. For example, with a 1.5°C/W heatsink and 25°C ambient, max continuous Pch ≈ (150 − 25) / (2.08 + 1.5) ≈ 35 W.
