Product details
Overview
AOTF266L from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor is a 60V N-Channel Trench MOSFET in TO-220F package, rated for 78A continuous drain current at VGS=10V, with RDS(ON) < 3.5 mΩ and 100% UIS tested - optimized for high-frequency switching in synchronous rectifiers and boost converters for industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the AOTF266L datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 3.3°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 720 pF Coss, 65–90 nC total gate charge, and TO-220F insulated package suitability for thermally constrained board-level designs.
Technical Context
The AOTF266L employs Trench MOSFET technology to minimize both conduction loss (via ultra-low RDS(ON)) and switching loss (via low Ciss = 5650 pF and Coss = 720 pF). Its gate threshold voltage (2.2–3.2 V) and transconductance (80 S) support robust drive compatibility with standard 5V/10V logic-level controllers.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJC = 3.3°C/W and RθJA = 60°C/W (1 in² FR-4, 2 oz Cu), with safe operating area limited by RDS(ON) at DC and pulse widths ≥100 ms. It is 100% tested for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) and gate resistance (Rg = 0.4–1.4 Ω).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 48V input systems and 24V industrial rails. |
| ID (VGS=10V) | 78 A - Continuous current rating at case temperature ≤100°C, defining usable output power in high-current DC-DC stages. |
| RDS(ON) (VGS=10V) | < 3.5 mΩ - Enables sub-0.3 W conduction loss at 50 A, critical for efficiency in 100W+ synchronous rectifiers. |
| Coss | 720 pF - Low output capacitance reduces turn-off energy and improves light-load efficiency in hard-switched topologies. |
| Qg (10V) | 65–90 nC - Gate charge range informs driver strength requirement; 90 nC demands ≥2 A peak gate drive for <100 ns switching transitions. |
| RθJC | 3.3°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct heatsink mounting without thermal interface material degradation concerns. |
| EAS | 450 mJ - Avalanche energy rating supports robustness in inductive load switching without external snubbers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220F (full-pack insulated case, non-conductive mounting surface). Thermal pad electrically isolated from drain; requires no insulating washer when mounted to heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 0–20 V drive; 0.4–1.4 Ω internal gate resistance limits ringing and EMI. |
| D | Drain | Main high-side switching node; connected to thermal pad on underside of TO-220F package; electrically isolated from case. |
| S | Source | Power return path and reference for gate drive; ties to PCB ground plane for low-inductance layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% UIS tested | Guarantees single-pulse avalanche capability up to 450 mJ, eliminating need for external clamping in boost PFC stages. |
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Delivers simultaneous low RDS(ON) and low Ciss/Coss, enabling >95% efficiency in 100–500 kHz synchronous rectifiers. |
| TO-220F insulated package | Enables direct bolt-down heatsinking without isolation hardware, reducing thermal stack-up and assembly cost. |
| Body diode Qrr = 145 nC | Low reverse recovery charge minimizes cross-conduction loss and EMI in synchronous buck/boost configurations. |
| 100% Rg tested | Ensures consistent gate drive timing and predictable switching behavior across production lots. |
Applications
| Industrial AC-DC Power Supplies | Telecom DC-DC Brick Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 600W active clamp forward or LLC resonant converter operating at 200–350 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side main switch handling full input voltage and current; synchronized to controller's gate drive signal.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-Channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP78N60DM6 | RDS(ON) = 4.2 mΩ (VGS=10V); TO-220 package (non-insulated); RθJC = 1.2°C/W but requires insulator kit. | Higher conduction loss; needs additional isolation hardware; better suited for lower-frequency, higher-heat-sinked designs. | Select if board layout already includes insulating hardware and thermal design targets <1.5°C/W system RθJA. |
| IXTH75N60L2 | RDS(ON) = 3.8 mΩ; TO-247 package; RθJC = 0.45°C/W; higher Qg = 120 nC; no UIS rating specified. | Superior thermal performance but larger footprint and higher gate drive demand; lacks avalanche ruggedness validation. | Select for ultra-high-power (>1 kW), forced-air-cooled systems where gate drive capability and heatsink mass offset size penalty. |
Compared with STP78N60DM6 and IXTH75N60L2, the AOTF266L provides best-in-class balance of low RDS(ON), verified UIS robustness, and TO-220F insulation - making it optimal for space-constrained, medium-power industrial and telecom power stages requiring zero added isolation hardware.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for AOTF266L at 100°C case temperature?
The AOTF266L is rated for 78 A continuous drain current at VGS = 10 V and TC = 100°C. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and reflects derating from the 140 A rating at TC = 25°C due to thermal constraints. The AOTF266L datasheet specifies this 78 A limit as the steady-state current under real-world heatsink conditions.
Does AOTF266L have an insulated package, and how does that affect mounting?
Yes, the AOTF266L uses a TO-220F package with full electrical insulation between the drain-connected thermal pad and the mounting surface. This eliminates the need for mica washers or silicone pads when attaching directly to a heatsink, simplifying assembly and improving thermal reliability. The AOTF266L's RθJC = 3.3°C/W is measured under this insulated condition.
Is AOTF266L suitable for synchronous rectification in a 48V-to-12V DC-DC converter?
Yes, the AOTF266L is explicitly recommended for synchronous rectifiers in telecom and industrial power supplies. Its 145 nC Qrr, 0.65–1.0 V VSD, and 3.5 mΩ RDS(ON) enable high efficiency at 48V input, especially in 200–500 kHz designs. The AOTF266L's low Coss also reduces turn-off loss during high-side switching transitions.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for AOTF266L, and how does it impact drive compatibility?
The AOTF266L has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2.2–3.2 V at TJ = 25°C, extending to 2.9–3.5 V at 125°C. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V logic-level drivers and compatibility with most PWM controllers. The AOTF266L's 80 S transconductance further supports stable operation across temperature and load variations.
How is avalanche ruggedness validated for AOTF266L, and what is its rated EAS?
The AOTF266L is 100% tested for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) per JEDEC standards. Its rated single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) is 450 mJ at TJ = 25°C, verified using standardized test circuits with L = 0.1 mH. This EAS rating is published in the AOTF266L datasheet and applies directly to the TO-220F variant.
