Product details
Overview
IRL1404ZPbF from Infineon Technologies is a logic-level N-channel HEXFET® Power MOSFET designed for high-current, low-voltage switching in power supplies, motor drives, and DC-DC converters. It features 40 V VDSS, 3.1 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 120 A continuous drain current (silicon-limited), 175°C maximum junction temperature, and rated repetitive avalanche energy of 490 mJ.
For engineers reviewing the IRL1404ZPbF datasheet, IRL1404ZPbF pinout, IRL1404ZPbF application, or IRL1404ZPbF equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance at 4.5 V gate drive, thermal resistance (RθJC = 0.65°C/W), body diode recovery (trr = 26–39 ns), and TO-220AB package compatibility with standard heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced planar silicon processing to achieve ultra-low conduction loss while maintaining robust unclamped inductive switching capability. Its gate threshold voltage (1.4–2.7 V) ensures full enhancement with 4.5 V logic-level drive, and its 75 nC total gate charge enables efficient high-frequency PWM operation up to several hundred kHz.
The integrated body diode supports synchronous rectification and freewheeling in buck converters and H-bridge topologies. Thermal design is enabled by validated transient impedance data (Fig. 11), and safe operating area (SOA) curves confirm linear derating up to 175°C junction temperature under pulsed conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; suitable for 24 V and 36 V bus systems. |
| RDS(on) | 3.1 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables ≤3.7 W conduction loss at 110 A, critical for high-efficiency power stages. |
| ID (cont) | 120 A @ TC = 25°C - Silicon-limited rating; actual usable current depends on heatsinking and PCB layout. |
| Qg | 75 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement; compatible with common 1–2 A peak drivers. |
| trr | 26–39 ns - Fast body diode recovery reduces switching loss and EMI in hard-switched topologies. |
| RθJC | 0.65°C/W - Enables direct heatsink mounting; 100 W dissipation raises junction only ~65°C above case. |
| EAS | 490 mJ - Validated single-pulse avalanche energy; supports robustness against inductive load transients. |
Pinout & Package
IRL1404ZPbF uses the TO-220AB package: 3-pin through-hole, isolated tab (drain-connected), standard footprint, and screw-mount compatible with industry heatsinks.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output / heat sink interface | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits. |
| Source | Return path for load current / reference node for gate drive | Low-inductance source connection essential for stable switching; internal source inductance LS = 7.5 nH. |
| Gate | Control terminal for channel conduction | Capacitive input (Ciss = 5080 pF); requires low-impedance drive to minimize switching losses. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS = 4.5 V, eliminating need for gate boosters in 5 V or 3.3 V control systems. |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 3.1 mΩ minimizes I²R losses in high-current paths-critical for 12 V/24 V battery-powered motor controllers. |
| 175°C junction rating | Enables operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without derating below 100% current. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Validated for repeated unclamped inductive switching up to 490 mJ per pulse-no external snubber required in many flyback or relay-drive designs. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant packaging (PbF suffix) meets global environmental compliance requirements for industrial and automotive applications. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP120N4F6 | RDS(on) = 3.2 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 85 nC; TO-220 package | Slightly higher gate charge increases driver loss; identical VDSS and thermal rating | Preferred where gate driver has ≥2 A peak capability and layout accommodates marginally higher switching loss. |
| IRF1404ZPbF | RDS(on) = 4.7 mΩ @ 10 V; same package and avalanche rating | Higher conduction loss reduces efficiency in high-current continuous duty; otherwise pin-compatible | Selected when cost sensitivity outweighs 25% higher I²R loss, or for legacy design reuse with relaxed thermal margins. |
Compared with STP120N4F6 and IRF1404ZPbF, the IRL1404ZPbF delivers the lowest RDS(on) and best gate drive compatibility among TO-220 40 V N-channel MOSFETs, making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-efficiency 12–24 V power stages.

FAQ
Is IRL1404ZPbF suitable for 5 V microcontroller direct drive?
Yes. With a gate threshold voltage range of 1.4–2.7 V and full enhancement at VGS = 4.5 V, the IRL1404ZPbF is explicitly designed for direct drive from 5 V or 3.3 V logic outputs. Its 75 nC gate charge requires a driver capable of ≥1 A peak current for sub-100 ns switching transitions.
What is the maximum continuous current achievable with standard TO-220 heatsinking?
At TC = 100°C, the datasheet specifies 140 A continuous drain current (package-limited). With a typical heatsink thermal resistance of 1.0°C/W and ambient of 50°C, junction temperature remains below 175°C up to ~95 A continuous, assuming proper mounting torque (10 lbf·in) and thermal grease.
Does IRL1404ZPbF have an integrated Schottky diode?
No. It contains a monolithic body diode formed by the MOSFET's inherent p-n junction. This diode has VSD = 1.3 V and trr = 26–39 ns-suitable for freewheeling but not optimized for ultra-fast or low-VF applications like dedicated Schottky or SiC diodes.
Can IRL1404ZPbF replace IRL1404 in existing PCB layouts?
Yes. The IRL1404ZPbF is a drop-in replacement for the legacy IRL1404 in TO-220AB packages, sharing identical pinout, footprint, and thermal/mechanical dimensions. Key improvements include lower RDS(on) (3.1 mΩ vs. 4.7 mΩ), higher avalanche energy (490 mJ vs. 220 mJ), and lead-free compliance.
