Product details
Overview
AUIRF4104 from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an automotive-grade N-channel HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, rated for 40V V(BR)DSS, 4.3mΩ typ. RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, and 75A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It delivers fast switching (tr = 130ns, tf = 77ns), full avalanche ruggedness (EAS = 470mJ), and operates up to 175°C junction temperature - deployed in engine control units, DC-DC converters, and high-side load switches.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRF4104 datasheet, AUIRF4104 pinout, AUIRF4104 application, or AUIRF4104 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40V breakdown voltage, low on-resistance under automotive thermal constraints, repetitive avalanche capability, and AEC-Q101 qualification - critical for 12V/24V vehicle power distribution systems requiring robust short-circuit tolerance and thermal stability.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses advanced silicon processing to minimize RDS(on) per die area while maintaining high dV/dt immunity and dynamic ruggedness. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 68nC typ., Qgd = 27nC) supports efficient PWM operation in high-frequency switching topologies, and the integral body diode exhibits low VSD (1.3V max.) and fast trr (23–35ns) for synchronous rectification and freewheeling.
The device's thermal design centers on low RθJC (1.05°C/W) and validated transient impedance curves enabling safe unclamped inductive switching up to IAS = 75A. Repetitive avalanche energy (EAR = 220mJ) is specified across temperature and pulse width per Figure 16, with derating governed by ZthJC(D,tav) and ΔTj limits - not abstract reliability metrics but measurable thermal boundary conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | 40V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines usable range in 12V/24V automotive bus applications. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 4.3mΩ @ VGS = 10V, TJ = 25°C - Enables <1W conduction loss at 75A, critical for thermally constrained ECU modules. |
| ID cont. @ TC=25°C | 75A - Package-limited continuous current; determined by leadframe thermal capacity, not silicon limit. |
| EAS | 470mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; validates safe operation during load dump or inductive kick events. |
| Qg / Qgd | 68nC / 27nC - Gate drive energy requirements; Miller charge fraction (39.7%) informs gate driver sizing for clean turn-off. |
| TJ max. | 175°C - Maximum junction temperature; enables operation in under-hood environments without forced cooling. |
| tr / tf | 130ns / 77ns - Switching transition times at ID = 75A, VDD = 20V, RG = 6.8Ω; sets minimum practical PWM frequency. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected). Standard three-terminal configuration: Drain (Tab & Pin 2), Source (Pin 1), Gate (Pin 3). Mounting torque: 10 lbf·in (1.1 N·m).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Source terminal (low-side reference) | Common return path for load current; electrically tied to PCB ground plane in high-current layouts. |
| Pin 2 (Drain) | Drain terminal (high-side switch node) | Connected to internal die backside and metal tab; requires insulated mounting hardware when heatsink is grounded. |
| Pin 3 (Gate) | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate; sensitive to ESD (HBM Class H1C); requires gate resistor (RG ≥ 6.8Ω) to damp ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated per AEC-Q101-001/002/005 - ensures reliability for automotive powertrain and chassis systems. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | EAR = 220mJ at TJ = 25°C - enables repeated inductive switching without degradation, unlike non-rated MOSFETs. |
| 175°C operating junction | Rated continuous operation up to 175°C - eliminates need for external thermal derating in hot under-hood locations. |
| Low RDS(on) × Qg figure of merit | ~290 mΩ·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency 100–500kHz DC-DC stages. |
| Dynamic dV/dt rated | Immune to false turn-on during fast voltage transients - critical in noisy alternator-fed 12V systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 40V automotive power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40V, 220A ID (package-limited), RDS(on) = 1.8mΩ typ., DFN5x6 package | Higher current density but surface-mount only; no through-hole option | Select for space-constrained PCBs where thermal vias and copper pour replace heatsink mounting. |
| IRF4905PbF | 55V, 74A ID, RDS(on) = 20mΩ typ., TO-220AB, P-channel | Complementary polarity; higher on-resistance; used in low-side or level-shifted configurations | Choose only when circuit architecture requires P-channel high-side drive or dual-N/P implementation. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and IRF4905PbF, AUIRF4104 offers optimal balance of through-hole serviceability, 4.3mΩ conduction loss, and validated 175°C/avalanche performance - making it preferred for legacy-compatible, thermally demanding automotive modules where mechanical robustness and field-replaceability matter.

FAQ
Is AUIRF4104 pin-compatible with standard TO-220AB N-channel MOSFETs?
Yes - AUIRF4104 uses industry-standard TO-220AB mechanical footprint and pinout (G-S-D), enabling drop-in replacement for other TO-220AB N-channel MOSFETs with matching voltage/current ratings. However, gate drive requirements differ due to its 68nC total gate charge, so verify driver strength and layout parasitics before substitution.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 75A operation?
The 75A continuous drain rating is specified at TC = 25°C. As case temperature rises, current must be linearly derated using the 0.95 W/°C factor. At TC = 100°C, maximum continuous ID drops to approximately 48A - confirmed by Figure 9 in the datasheet and validated under board-mounted still-air conditions.
Does AUIRF4104 require a heatsink in automotive applications?
Yes - even at 75A, power dissipation exceeds 2.4W (ID² × RDS(on)), necessitating a heatsink to maintain TJ ≤ 175°C. Thermal resistance from junction-to-case is 1.05°C/W; with typical case-to-sink resistance of 0.5°C/W, ambient-to-sink must remain ≤ 60°C to avoid exceeding Tjmax under worst-case load.
How is repetitive avalanche performance verified for AUIRF4104?
Repetitive avalanche energy (EAR = 220mJ) is measured per AEC-Q101 test condition: IAS = 75A, L = 0.04mH, RG = 25Ω, VGS = 10V, pulse width ≤ 1ms, duty cycle ≤ 2%. Data is plotted in Figure 16, showing allowable energy vs. starting junction temperature - not extrapolated, but empirically validated across production lots.
