Product details
Overview
AUIRF3710Z from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an automotive-grade N-channel HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, rated for 100V VDSS, 18 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 59 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It features 175°C maximum junction temperature, full avalanche rating, and fast switching with 82 nC total gate charge - deployed in high-reliability DC-DC converters, motor control inverters, and automotive body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRF3710Z datasheet, AUIRF3710Z pinout, AUIRF3710Z application, or AUIRF3710Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, repetitive avalanche capability up to Tjmax, low conduction loss at high current, and thermal performance under sustained 42 A operation at 100°C case temperature.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process optimized for low RDS(on)/area and robust unclamped inductive switching. Its 0.92°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance enables high-power dissipation in compact TO-220AB mounting, while the 175°C operating limit supports under-hood automotive environments without derating penalties.
The device integrates a co-packaged body diode with 1.3 V forward voltage and 50–75 ns reverse recovery time, supporting synchronous rectification and freewheeling in hard-switched topologies. Gate charge parameters (Qgd = 27–40 nC, Qgs = 19–28 nC) indicate moderate drive strength requirements compatible with standard gate drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 100 V - Withstands 100 V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche onset, suitable for 48 V automotive systems with transient margin. |
| RDS(on) | 14–18 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables ≤1.0 W conduction loss at 59 A, critical for thermally constrained power stages. |
| ID (continuous) | 59 A @ TC = 25°C - Supports high-current loads such as starter relays and HVAC blowers without external heatsinking at ambient conditions. |
| EAS | 300 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating ensures survivability during inductive load turn-off transients in motor drives. |
| TJ max | 175°C - Allows operation in engine compartment locations where ambient exceeds 125°C, per AEC-Q101 stress testing. |
| Qg | 82–120 nC - Determines gate driver current requirement (~1.6 A peak for 75 ns rise time), influencing driver IC selection and layout. |
| VGS(th) | 2.0–4.0 V - Ensures reliable enhancement-mode turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level controllers when used with gate boost. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard 3-pin through-hole configuration. Mounting torque: 10 lbf·in (1.1 N·m); soldering temperature: 160°C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output terminal | Electrically connected to metal tab - requires insulated mounting hardware when referenced to non-ground potentials. |
| Source | Return path for load current and reference for gate drive | Low-inductance connection point for Kelvin sensing or source-shunt current monitoring. |
| Gate | Control input for channel conduction | High-impedance node requiring low-impedance gate driver and RC snubber to suppress ringing from 7.5 nH internal source inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified with MSL1 moisture sensitivity, H1C human-body ESD, and C3 charged-device model ratings. |
| Repetitive avalanche capability | Rated for unlimited repetitive avalanche events up to Tjmax, validated per AN-1005 with L = 0.27 mH, IAS = 35 A, RG = 25 Ω. |
| Thermal performance | 0.92°C/W RθJC enables 240 W power dissipation at ΔT = 220°C, supporting high-duty-cycle operation in sealed enclosures. |
| Body diode performance | 1.3 V VSD and 100–160 nC Qrr allow efficient freewheeling in buck and half-bridge topologies without external Schottky. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N10F7 | 100 V, 2.2 mΩ RDS(on), DFN8 5×6 mm package, 175°C rating | Surface-mount only; no isolated tab; higher current density but requires PCB copper area for thermal management | Select for space-constrained PCBs where TO-220AB footprint is prohibitive and thermal vias can be implemented. |
| IXFH50N10P | 100 V, 20 mΩ RDS(on), TO-247AC package, 175°C rating, 125 nC Qg | Larger package with lower RθJC (0.45°C/W), higher gate charge increases driver complexity | Select when >240 W continuous power dissipation is required and board space permits TO-247 mounting. |
Compared with STL220N10F7 and IXFH50N10P, AUIRF3710Z offers optimal balance of through-hole manufacturability, thermal interface simplicity (isolated tab), and gate drive compatibility - making it preferred for legacy automotive production lines and service-replacement modules where TO-220AB remains the de facto standard.

FAQ
Is AUIRF3710Z pin-compatible with standard TO-220AB MOSFETs?
Yes - AUIRF3710Z uses industry-standard TO-220AB mechanical dimensions and pinout (Drain-tab, Source, Gate), enabling drop-in replacement for other TO-220AB N-channel MOSFETs with matching voltage/current ratings. The isolated drain tab must be electrically insulated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for hard-switching applications?
For reliable switching at 100 kHz with minimal overshoot, a gate resistor of 10–25 Ω is recommended. Lower values (<10 Ω) reduce switching losses but increase gate driver stress; higher values (>33 Ω) extend turn-on/turn-off times beyond 100 ns, raising conduction loss in PWM applications.
Does AUIRF3710Z require external gate protection diodes?
No - the device incorporates internal gate oxide protection and is rated for ±20 V gate-source voltage. However, a 12–15 V Zener clamp between gate and source is recommended in noisy automotive environments to prevent VGS excursions beyond absolute maximum ratings during load dump or ESD events.
Can AUIRF3710Z be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (1.5–2.0× increase from 25°C to 175°C) enables natural current sharing. For stable paralleling, use matched devices, identical gate drive paths, and symmetrical PCB layout with Kelvin source connections to minimize imbalance from stray inductance.
