Product details
Overview
AUIRF9Z34N-INF from Infineon Technologies is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO-220AB package, rated for -55 V V(BR)DSS, 0.10 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, and -19 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It features fully avalanche-rated operation up to Tjmax, fast switching (tr = 55 ns, tf = 41 ns), and automotive qualification per AEC-Q101.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRF9Z34N-INF datasheet, AUIRF9Z34N-INF pinout, AUIRF9Z34N-INF application, or AUIRF9Z34N-INF equivalent, key selection criteria include negative gate threshold (-2.0 to -4.0 V), low gate charge (Qg = 35 nC), body diode forward voltage (-1.6 V), repetitive avalanche capability, and thermal resistance (RθJC = 2.2 °C/W).
Technical Context
This device operates as a high-side load switch or reverse polarity protection element in 12 V/24 V automotive power systems. Its planar HEXFET® structure delivers low on-resistance with robust avalanche energy handling (EAS = 180 mJ), and its -10 V gate drive compatibility enables direct interface with standard microcontroller I/O or dedicated gate drivers.
The integrated body diode supports freewheeling in inductive loads (e.g., solenoids, motors), with trr = 54–82 ns and Qrr = 110–160 nC under di/dt = 100 A/μs. Thermal design is enabled by low junction-to-case resistance (2.2 °C/W) and validated 175°C maximum junction temperature operation.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | -55 V - Withstands reverse-biased drain-source voltage up to this rating without breakdown. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.10 Ω @ VGS = -10 V - Enables <1.9 W conduction loss at -19 A, critical for thermal management in confined spaces. |
| ID cont | -19 A @ TC = 25°C - Supports high-current automotive loads such as HVAC actuators and lighting modules. |
| Qg | 35 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed; enables <100 ns total transition time with 13 Ω RG. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9540NPBF | RDS(on) = 0.20 Ω @ VGS = -10 V; lower current rating (-19 A vs -17 A); no AEC-Q101 qualification | Not approved for automotive production; suitable only for industrial prototypes or non-safety-critical systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs qualification requirements and thermal margin permits higher on-resistance |
| STP12PF06 | V(BR)DSS = -60 V; RDS(on) = 0.15 Ω; Qg = 42 nC; AEC-Q101 qualified but higher gate charge increases driver demand | Higher voltage margin useful in 42 V architectures; slower switching limits high-frequency PWM use | Select when system requires >55 V blocking capability and can accommodate 20% longer switching transitions |
Compared with IRF9540NPBF and STP12PF06, AUIRF9Z34N-INF offers the lowest RDS(on) among AEC-Q101-qualified P-channel TO-220 devices at -55 V, delivering superior conduction efficiency and thermal headroom for space-constrained automotive modules.

FAQ
Is AUIRF9Z34N-INF pin-compatible with standard TO-220AB footprints?
Yes. AUIRF9Z34N-INF uses the industry-standard TO-220AB mechanical outline with 2.54 mm lead pitch and 6.35 mm lead spacing. The drain is internally connected to the metal tab, and the pin order (G-D-S) matches JEDEC TO-220AB specification, enabling direct replacement in existing layouts without footprint modification.
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for reliable operation?
The absolute maximum VGS rating is ±20 V. Operation beyond ±15 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. For robust design, gate drive should be limited to -12 V to -10 V for full enhancement, with transient clamping recommended if driving from unregulated sources or in noisy environments.
Does the body diode support continuous conduction in synchronous rectification?
No. While the integral body diode is rated for -19 A continuous source current (IS), its forward voltage (-1.6 V) and recovery characteristics (trr = 54–82 ns) make it unsuitable for high-efficiency synchronous rectification. It is intended for freewheeling and fault clamping-not primary conduction paths.
How does the -55 V V(BR)DSS rating translate to real-world automotive voltage tolerance?
The -55 V rating provides 10 V margin above the worst-case automotive load-dump transient (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a: +120 V on 12 V systems). As a P-channel device, it blocks reverse polarity events up to -55 V, covering battery reversal, jump-start faults, and alternator field collapse spikes in 12 V networks.
