Product details
Overview
AUIRFR024N from Infineon is an automotive-grade N-channel D-Pak (TO-252AA) HEXFET® Power MOSFET with 55 V VDS, 0.075 Ω RDS(on) max at VGS = 10 V and 10 A, 17 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and 175°C maximum junction temperature - deployed in high-reliability engine control, powertrain DC-DC converters, and load switch circuits.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRFR024N datasheet, AUIRFR024N pinout, AUIRFR024N application, or AUIRFR024N equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.0 V/ns peak diode recovery dv/dt rating, fully rated repetitive avalanche capability up to Tjmax, 71 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction validated per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Infineon's advanced planar silicon process to achieve low on-resistance per die area while maintaining robust dynamic performance. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 20 nC, Qgd = 7.6 nC) supports fast switching in hard-switched topologies, and its body diode exhibits trr = 56–83 ns and Qrr = 120–180 nC under defined 100 A/µs di/dt conditions.
The device is thermally characterized with RθJC = 3.3°C/W and RθJA = 50°C/W (PCB mount), enabling 45 W power dissipation at TC = 25°C. Its ±20 V gate voltage rating and 2.0–4.0 V VGS(th) support standard 12 V automotive logic-level drive without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - withstands transients up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) in 12 V automotive systems |
| RDS(on) max | 0.075 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 10 A - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 10 A continuous |
| ID cont @ TC = 25°C | 17 A - supports high-current solenoid drivers and motor phase switches |
| EAS | 71 mJ - sustains unclamped inductive switching events without failure |
| dv/dt rating | 5.0 V/ns - prevents spurious turn-on during fast voltage transients in noisy powertrain environments |
| TJ max | +175°C - meets under-hood thermal requirements for engine control modules |
| Qg | 20 nC - allows efficient gate driving with low-power controllers like MC9S12 or S32K |
Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252AA) package with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement and mechanical stability in automotive PCB mounting. Standard 3-pin configuration: Gate (G), Drain (D), Source (S).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate control input | Accepts 0–10 V logic-level drive; threshold 2.0–4.0 V ensures compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers |
| D | Drain terminal / heat sink interface | Exposed metal pad electrically connected to drain; primary thermal path to PCB copper pour |
| S | Source return / reference node | Common return for gate drive and load current; internal source inductance LS = 7.5 nH affects switching ringing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified - validated for lifetime reliability in engine control, transmission, and ADAS subsystems |
| Fully rated avalanche | Repetitive avalanche allowed up to Tjmax - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching |
| Dynamic dv/dt immunity | 5.0 V/ns rating - suppresses false triggering during high-slew-rate transients in starter-generator or fuel pump drivers |
| Low RDS(on) density | 0.075 Ω in D-Pak - achieves higher current density than legacy TO-220 equivalents without derating |
| Lead-free & RoHS | Halogen-free, Pb-free terminations - compliant with EU ELV Directive and OEM material declarations |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Injector Driver | 12 V Automotive DC-DC Converter Primary Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-speed, high-current switching of fuel injectors in gasoline direct injection systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side N-channel power switch controlling injector coil current with precise pulse-width modulation. Use Value: 17 A continuous rating and 68 A pulsed capability enable full-load injector actuation; 71 mJ EAS absorbs coil flyback energy without clamping diodes. | Use Scenario: Primary-side synchronous rectifier or high-side switch in 12 V → 5 V/3.3 V buck converters for infotainment and ADAS ECUs.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side load switch with integrated protection against overcurrent and thermal runaway. Use Value: Fully rated repetitive avalanche handles inductive kickback from fan motors; 45 W PD at TC = 25°C supports >15 A resistive loads with proper heatsinking. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL100N5LF6 | 60 V VDS, 0.0055 Ω RDS(on), PowerFLAT 5x6 package, lower RDS(on) but no AEC-Q101 certification | Not qualified for safety-critical powertrain use; suitable only for non-AEC subsystems like lighting or comfort | Select when higher current density is needed and automotive qualification is not required |
| IRFZ44NPBF | 55 V VDS, 0.028 Ω RDS(on), TO-220 package, commercial grade, no avalanche rating | Lacks repetitive avalanche rating and 175°C operation; unsuitable for unclamped inductive loads | Use only in cost-sensitive, non-automotive industrial applications with external protection |
Compared with STL100N5LF6 and IRFZ44NPBF, AUIRFR024N uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 175°C operation, and fully rated repetitive avalanche - making it the only choice for production automotive power switching where functional safety and thermal resilience are mandatory.

FAQ
Is AUIRFR024N pin-compatible with AUIRFU024N?
No. AUIRFR024N uses the D-Pak (TO-252AA) package with drain-connected tab, while AUIRFU024N uses the I-Pak (TO-251AA) package with isolated tab. Footprints, thermal paths, and mounting constraints differ - PCB layout and thermal design must be revalidated for each.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor for reliable switching?
A 24 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for switching time characterization (td(off) = 19 ns). For automotive applications, a 10–22 Ω resistor balances switching speed and gate oscillation damping; values below 5 Ω risk excessive gate current and ringing due to LS = 7.5 nH and LD = 4.5 nH.
Does AUIRFR024N require a gate driver IC in 12 V automotive systems?
Not strictly required: its 2.0–4.0 V VGS(th) and 20 nC Qg allow direct drive from 5 V microcontrollers (e.g., S32K144) with appropriate series resistance. However, a dedicated gate driver (e.g., TC1412) is recommended for high-frequency PWM (>500 kHz) or high-side configurations to ensure clean edges and minimize shoot-through risk.
Can AUIRFR024N replace IRFZ24N in existing designs?
Yes, with caveats: both share 55 V VDS and similar RDS(on), but AUIRFR024N offers AEC-Q101 qualification, 175°C operation, and 71 mJ EAS vs. IRFZ24N's 41 mJ. Thermal design must be verified - RθJC is identical (3.3°C/W), but D-Pak mounting differs from TO-220. No layout change needed if using D-Pak footprint.
