Product details
Overview
AUIRFB8407 from Infineon Technologies is an automotive-grade N-channel HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, rated for 40 V VDS, 195 A continuous drain current (package-limited), 1.6 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 175°C maximum junction temperature. It serves as a high-current, low-loss main switch in battery disconnect and electric power steering systems.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRFB8407 datasheet, AUIRFB8407 pinout, AUIRFB8407 application, or AUIRFB8407 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.6 mΩ on-resistance at 10 V gate drive, 175°C thermal rating, repetitive avalanche capability up to Tjmax, fast switching (td(on) = 19 ns, tf = 53 ns), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive safety-critical loads.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced silicon processing to achieve ultra-low on-resistance per die area while maintaining robust avalanche performance. Its body diode exhibits 1.0–1.3 V forward voltage and 30 ns reverse recovery time at 100 A, supporting synchronous rectification and bidirectional energy handling in DC-DC converters.
The device features a 2.2 Ω internal gate resistance and 150–225 nC total gate charge, enabling controlled turn-on/turn-off with standard gate drivers. Thermal design is supported by 0.65 °C/W junction-to-case resistance and validated operation under pulsed avalanche stress up to 1000 mJ at Tj = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V/24 V automotive battery systems with margin against load dump transients. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 1.6 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.6 W conduction loss at 100 A, critical for EPS and start-stop battery switches. |
| ID cont. (TC=25°C) | 195 A - Package-limited current defines safe continuous operation with heatsink; exceeds silicon limit of 250 A. |
| EAS tested | 1000 mJ - Validated single-pulse avalanche energy ensures reliability during inductive turn-off in motor drives. |
| Qg | 150–225 nC - Gate charge range determines driver strength requirement; supports efficient PWM at 20–100 kHz. |
| TJ max | 175°C - Enables operation in under-hood environments without derating below ambient +150°C. |
| Ciss | 7330 pF - Input capacitance impacts gate drive loop stability and EMI filtering requirements in high-frequency switching. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard 3-pin through-hole mounting. Case-to-sink thermal resistance is 0.50 °C/W with greased flat surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control input | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; 2.2 Ω internal resistance damps ringing and reduces EMI risk. |
| D (Drain) | High-side power path | Connected to tab; requires isolation from heatsink unless system ground reference permits direct mounting. |
| S (Source) | Power return / reference node | Serves as local ground for gate driver; low-inductance layout essential to minimize shoot-through risk. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 1.6 mΩ typ. at 10 V - Reduces conduction losses by >30% vs. legacy 40 V MOSFETs in 200 A battery switches. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Automotive grade per AEC-Q101-005 - Validated for lifetime operation in EPS, micro-hybrid, and DC-DC modules. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Up to Tjmax - Allows safe operation during inductive flyback without external snubbers in motor control. |
| 175°C junction rating | Extended thermal margin - Supports compact thermal design in space-constrained engine bay locations. |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | MSL1 moisture sensitivity - Eliminates baking requirements and enables standard reflow or hand-soldering processes. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current 40 V automotive power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 220 A ID, 0.75 mΩ RDS(on), DFN5x6 package, no isolated tab | Surface-mount only; requires PCB copper area for thermal management instead of heatsink mounting | Select when board space is constrained and thermal interface uses copper pour rather than mechanical heatsink. |
| IXTH180N40L2 | 180 A ID, 2.0 mΩ RDS(on), TO-247 package, higher Qg (320 nC) | Larger footprint and higher gate drive demand; better suited for lower-frequency, higher-voltage margin designs | Select when system prioritizes ruggedness over switching speed and gate drive simplicity is less critical. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and IXTH180N40L2, the AUIRFB8407 delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), proven TO-220 thermal interface, and AEC-Q101-compliant avalanche robustness-making it preferred for mechanically mounted, high-reliability automotive switches where gate drive efficiency and heatsink compatibility are primary concerns.

FAQ
Is AUIRFB8407 suitable for synchronous rectification in 48 V–12 V DC-DC converters?
Yes. Its 1.0–1.3 V body diode forward voltage, 30 ns reverse recovery time, and 24 nC Qrr at 100 A enable efficient synchronous rectification. The 175°C junction rating supports continuous 150 A operation in thermally demanding converter topologies without forced air cooling.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for hard-switched 20 kHz operation?
A 10–15 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to damp ringing and limit peak gate current while maintaining td(on) ≤ 25 ns and tf ≤ 60 ns. This balances switching loss reduction against EMI control and driver thermal loading for continuous 100 A operation.
Does AUIRFB8407 require a heatsink in a 195 A continuous application?
Yes. With RθJC = 0.65 °C/W and 1.6 mΩ RDS(on), conduction loss at 195 A is ~60 W. To maintain Tj ≤ 175°C at 85°C ambient, a heatsink with RθSA ≤ 0.45 °C/W is required-achievable with a 100 mm × 100 mm × 25 mm aluminum finned heatsink and thermal grease.
How does its avalanche rating compare to non-automotive 40 V MOSFETs?
AUIRFB8407 is tested to 1000 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy at Tj = 25°C and rated for repetitive avalanche up to Tjmax, unlike commercial-grade equivalents that specify only "not rated" or "not guaranteed." This is validated per AEC-Q101 test conditions and documented in IR Application Note AN-1005.
