Product details
Overview
2SK2499-Z-AZ from Renesas Electronics is an N-channel power MOSFET designed for high-current DC switching in industrial power supplies and motor drives. It delivers RDS(on) = 9 mΩ at VGS = 10 V / ID = 25 A, supports ±200 A pulsed drain current, and features built-in gate-source ESD protection diode. Its TO-220AB (MP-25) package enables robust thermal dissipation in convection-cooled systems.
For engineers reviewing the 2SK2499-Z-AZ datasheet, 2SK2499-Z-AZ pinout, 2SK2499-Z-AZ application, or 2SK2499-Z-AZ equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche energy rating (EAS = 250 mJ), low Ciss (3400 pF), and dual-threshold on-resistance performance across VGS = 4 V and 10 V drive conditions.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional, enhancement-mode N-channel power switch with integrated source-drain body diode and gate-source protection diode. Its channel temperature rating of 150 °C and Rth(ch–c) = 1.67 °C/W support high-duty-cycle operation when mounted on heatsinks.
The 2SK2499-Z-AZ exhibits strong avalanche ruggedness (IAS = 50 A, EAS = 250 mJ) and fast switching dynamics (td(off) = 480 ns, QG = 152 nC), making it suitable for hard-switched DC–DC converters and H-bridge motor control where voltage transients and commutation losses must be tightly managed.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines usable bus voltage range in 48 V systems. |
| RDS(on)1 | 9 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 25 A - Low conduction loss enabling >95% efficiency in 25 A continuous switching paths. |
| ID(pulse) | ±200 A - Supports short-duration surge currents during motor startup or fault recovery without thermal runaway. |
| EAS | 250 mJ - Energy-handling capability under single-pulse inductive switching; critical for snubberless flyback or buck converter reliability. |
| Ciss | 3400 pF - Input capacitance value directly impacts gate drive power and turn-on speed in high-frequency PWM designs. |
| VGS(off) | 1.0–2.0 V - Gate threshold range ensures stable turn-off margin against noise in noisy industrial environments. |
| QG | 152 nC - Total gate charge determines required driver peak current and influences switching transition time and losses. |
Pinout & Package
2SK2499-Z-AZ uses the JEDEC TO-220AB (MP-25) through-hole package with isolated tab (drain-connected fin). Mounting requires electrically insulated heatsink interface due to direct drain-to-tab connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives voltage-controlled signal; requires ≥10 V for full enhancement; protected by internal G–S diode. |
| 2 (Drain) | High-side power input | Connected to drain metallization and metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground. |
| 3 (Source) | Power return/reference | Serves as common reference for gate drive and load current return; ties to PCB ground plane for low-inductance layout. |
| 4 (Fin/Drain) | Thermal & electrical drain extension | Integral metal tab providing mechanical mounting and primary heat path; electrically identical to Pin 2 (Drain). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) at 4 V gate drive | RDS(on)2 = 14 mΩ enables logic-level compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers in space-constrained industrial controls. |
| Built-in gate-source protection diode | ESD safeguard per human-body model; reduces need for external TVS but does not replace full gate protection circuitry. |
| High single-pulse avalanche energy | EAS = 250 mJ allows reliable operation in inductive load switching without external clamping in many 48 V applications. |
| Low output capacitance (Coss) | Coss = 1600 pF minimizes turn-off losses and improves efficiency in hard-switched topologies above 50 kHz. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXTP50N055T | VDSS = 55 V, RDS(on) = 5.5 mΩ @ 10 V, TO-220 package, no integrated G–S diode. | Limited to ≤55 V systems; lower on-resistance benefits ultra-high-efficiency designs but requires external gate protection. | Preferred where 55 V max bus voltage is acceptable and gate drive design includes discrete ESD protection. |
| IRFZ44NPBF | VDSS = 55 V, RDS(on) = 28 mΩ @ 10 V, TO-220, no avalanche rating specified in datasheet. | Lower cost but significantly higher conduction loss and uncharacterized avalanche behavior limits use in inductive switching. | Suitable only for non-critical, low-frequency, low-surge applications such as simple lamp dimming or fan control. |
Compared with IXTP50N055T and IRFZ44NPBF, the 2SK2499-Z-AZ provides superior avalanche ruggedness (250 mJ), tighter VGS(off) control, and integrated gate protection-making it preferable for industrial motor drives and telecom power where reliability under transient stress is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the 2SK2499-Z-AZ?
The 2SK2499-Z-AZ is rated for ±50 A DC drain current at Tc = 25 °C. Actual continuous current capability depends on PCB layout, heatsinking, and ambient temperature; derating is required above 25 °C case temperature per the datasheet's PT vs. TC curve. For sustained 40 A operation, a heatsink maintaining Tc ≤ 60 °C is recommended.
Does the 2SK2499-Z-AZ have a specified avalanche energy rating?
Yes, the 2SK2499-Z-AZ has a single-pulse avalanche energy rating of EAS = 250 mJ at starting channel temperature of 25 °C, with test conditions VDD = 30 V, RG = 25 Ω, and VGS stepped from 20 V to 0 V. This rating is validated per JEDEC JESD24-1 and supports reliable inductive switching without external clamping in many industrial applications.
Is the 2SK2499-Z-AZ pin-compatible with other TO-220AB N-channel MOSFETs?
The 2SK2499-Z-AZ uses standard TO-220AB (MP-25) pinout: Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain, Pin 3 = Source, Pin 4 = Drain-connected fin. While mechanical footprint and terminal assignment match JEDEC TO-220AB, electrical characteristics-including RDS(on), QG, and avalanche rating-are unique to the 2SK2499-Z-AZ and not guaranteed across other part numbers.
What is the role of the built-in gate-source protection diode in the 2SK2499-Z-AZ?
The built-in gate-source diode in the 2SK2499-Z-AZ provides electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection per human-body model, limiting gate voltage excursion during handling or board insertion. However, it does not replace external gate protection circuits needed for operational overvoltage events (e.g., Miller-induced spikes), and Renesas explicitly states that "an additional protection circuit is externally required" for full system robustness.
Can the 2SK2499-Z-AZ be used in surface-mount applications?
No-the 2SK2499-Z-AZ is packaged exclusively in the through-hole TO-220AB (MP-25) variant. Although Renesas offers a surface-mount version designated 2SK2499-Z (MP-25Z), the -AZ suffix confirms this part is the through-hole variant with isolated fin. Surface-mount alternatives require selecting different part numbers with verified MP-25Z packaging and requalified thermal performance.
