Product details
Overview
94-2436PBF from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in DPAK (TO-252) package, rated for 55 V VDS, 30 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and RDS(on) ≤ 22 mΩ at VGS = 10 V. It serves as a main power switch in DC-DC synchronous buck converters for industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the 94-2436PBF datasheet, 94-2436PBF pinout, 94-2436PBF application, or 94-2436PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low conduction loss at 12 V gate drive, thermal performance in surface-mount layouts, and suitability for high-efficiency 48 V input-to-12 V output conversion stages.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for fast switching with reduced gate charge (Qg = 32 nC typical) and low reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 37 nC). Its body diode exhibits soft recovery characteristics critical for minimizing voltage overshoot in synchronous rectification.
The device is specified for operation up to TJ = 175°C and features 100% avalanche-rated ruggedness (EAS = 120 mJ), enabling reliable use in unregulated input or load-dump transient conditions without external snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 48 V nominal bus systems including surge margins. |
| ID (continuous) | 30 A at TC = 25°C - Supports ≥25 A steady-state output in compact DPAK thermal layout with 2 oz copper and 2 thermal vias. |
| RDS(on) | ≤22 mΩ at VGS = 10 V - Enables <0.7 W conduction loss at 15 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| Qg | 32 nC typical - Allows efficient 500 kHz switching with standard gate drivers (e.g., IR2110) without excessive driver power loss. |
| EAS | 120 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy events up to 120 mJ without failure, eliminating need for external clamping in many SMPS designs. |
| Qrr | 37 nC - Limits cross-conduction losses during dead-time in synchronous buck topologies, improving efficiency by ~0.8% at full load. |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal dissipation; standard 3-pin configuration (G-D-S) with drain connected to tab.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Current return path for channel conduction | Connected to power ground plane; requires low-inductance routing to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring RC snubber (10 Ω + 100 pF) near device to damp ringing during fast transitions. |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Main current-carrying terminal (connected to tab) | Tab soldered to PCB copper pour acts as primary heat sink; must be isolated from other nets per creepage/clearance rules. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Enables lower RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit than planar devices, improving trade-off between conduction and switching loss. |
| 100% EAS tested | Guarantees robustness against inductive turn-off transients without derating, simplifying reliability validation. |
| Soft-recovery body diode | Reduces EMI generation and voltage spikes during freewheeling, lowering filter component count in EMI-compliant designs. |
| Lead-free and RoHS compliant | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), enabling standard reflow without baking. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP30NF55 | RDS(on) = 28 mΩ (higher), Qg = 45 nC (higher), TO-220 package | Requires heatsink due to higher RDS(on) and through-hole mounting; unsuitable for space-constrained layouts | Select only if board redesign for TO-220 footprint is acceptable and thermal budget allows +0.35 W conduction loss. |
| IRFZ44NPBF | RDS(on) = 28 mΩ, Qrr not specified, TO-220 package | Lacks documented soft-recovery body diode; may require external snubber in synchronous rectification | Use only in non-synchronous or low-frequency (<100 kHz) applications where Qrr impact is negligible. |
Compared with STP30NF55 and IRFZ44NPBF, 94-2436PBF delivers superior power density and EMI performance in surface-mount synchronous buck converters, while its DPAK package enables automated assembly and better thermal management on standard PCBs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The 94-2436PBF is rated for continuous operation up to TJ = 175°C. This allows full 30 A current capability when the case temperature is maintained at or below 25°C using adequate PCB copper area and thermal vias. Derating curves in the official Infineon datasheet specify linear reduction to 15 A at TC = 100°C.
Does this MOSFET support 5 V gate drive?
No. The 94-2436PBF is a standard-threshold MOSFET requiring ≥10 V gate drive for guaranteed RDS(on) ≤ 22 mΩ. At 5 V VGS, RDS(on) rises to approximately 55 mΩ, increasing conduction loss by over 150%. It is not logic-level compatible.
Can it replace IRFZ44N in existing designs?
Direct replacement is not recommended. While both are N-channel MOSFETs, 94-2436PBF uses DPAK packaging versus TO-220 for IRFZ44N, requiring PCB layout change. Additionally, its lower Qrr and soft-recovery diode alter switching behavior-gate drive strength and dead-time settings may need adjustment to avoid shoot-through.
Is the drain tab electrically isolated from the PCB ground plane?
No. The drain (Pin 3) is internally connected to the exposed metal tab, which must be soldered to a dedicated drain copper pour. That pour must remain electrically isolated from all other nets-including system ground-unless the circuit topology intentionally references drain as the common node (e.g., high-side switch configuration).
