Product details
Overview
BUZ73ALHXKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel logic-level SIPMOS power MOSFET rated for 200 V drain-source voltage, 5.5 A continuous drain current at TC = 37 °C, and 0.6 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 5 V and ID = 3.5 A. It features avalanche-rated ruggedness, integrated body diode with 1.1–1.7 V forward voltage, and TO-220-3 package for industrial motor control and DC-DC converter switching stages.
For engineers reviewing the BUZ73ALHXKSA1 datasheet, BUZ73ALHXKSA1 pinout, BUZ73ALHXKSA1 application, or BUZ73ALHXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.0 V), single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 120 mJ), thermal resistance (RthJC ≤ 3.1 K/W), and halogen-free compliance per IEC61249-2-21.
Technical Context
This device operates in enhancement mode with a threshold voltage range of 1.2–2.0 V, enabling direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. Its transconductance (gfs = 5–6.5 S) and low input capacitance (Ciss = 630–840 pF) support fast switching in hard-switched topologies up to 100 kHz.
The integrated body diode exhibits trr = 140 ns and Qrr = 0.7 µC under defined conditions (VR = 100 V, IF = IS, diF/dt = 100 A/µs), making it suitable for freewheeling in non-synchronous buck converters and relay drivers where reverse recovery behavior impacts efficiency and EMI.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 200 V - supports 170 VAC rectified bus and 120 VDC industrial supplies with margin |
| ID (cont) | 5.5 A at TC = 37 °C - delivers 40 W power dissipation with heatsink mounting |
| RDS(on) | 0.6 Ω max at VGS = 5 V, ID = 3.5 A - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 3.5 A |
| EAS | 120 mJ - withstands single-pulse inductive energy in relay/snubberless solenoid drives |
| VGS(th) | 1.2–2.0 V - ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level MCU GPIOs |
| Ciss | 840 pF max - limits gate drive power requirement in 50–100 kHz switching |
| trr / Qrr | 140 ns / 0.7 µC - defines diode recovery timing for snubber design and EMI filtering |
Pinout & Package
PG-TO220-3 package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard through-hole mounting, and JEDEC-compliant footprint for mechanical robustness and thermal transfer to heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; accepts logic-level voltage (≤5 V) for full enhancement |
| Pin 2 (D) | Drain | High-side switch node; electrically connected to metal tab for heatsinking |
| Pin 3 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive; common return path for load current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Avalanche-rated operation | Single-pulse EAS = 120 mJ enables unclamped inductive switching without external snubbers |
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) ≤ 2.0 V allows direct drive from 3.3 V/5 V MCUs, reducing BOM count |
| Halogen-free construction | Complies with IEC61249-2-21, supporting RoHS and green manufacturing requirements |
| Low RthJC | ≤3.1 K/W enables >12 W power handling at 100 °C case temperature with minimal derating |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Control | DC-DC Converter Switch |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP55NF06L | 60 V VDS, 55 A ID, 0.018 Ω RDS(on); higher current, lower voltage rating | Not suitable for 200 V bus applications; limited to ≤48 V systems | Select only when operating voltage is ≤48 V and higher current headroom is required |
| IRFZ44NPBF | 55 V VDS, 49 A ID, 0.028 Ω RDS(on); no avalanche rating specified in datasheet | Lacks guaranteed EAS performance; requires external snubber for inductive loads | Use only in resistive or low-energy inductive loads where avalanche stress is absent |
Compared with STP55NF06L and IRFZ44NPBF, BUZ73ALHXKSA1 uniquely combines 200 V rating, logic-level gate, and certified 120 mJ avalanche energy-making it the only viable choice for 100–200 V industrial switching with unclamped inductors.

FAQ
Is BUZ73ALHXKSA1 pin-compatible with BUZ73A?
Yes - BUZ73ALHXKSA1 shares identical PG-TO220-3 pinout (G-D-S), same maximum ratings, and enhanced halogen-free construction versus BUZ73A. Electrical parameters including VDS, ID, and RDS(on) are unchanged, enabling drop-in replacement in legacy designs.
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150 °C. Derating begins above TC = 37 °C per the ID vs. TC curve on page 5; sustained operation above 135 °C requires active thermal monitoring and reduced current to maintain reliability.
Does BUZ73ALHXKSA1 require a gate resistor for stability?
A gate resistor (typically 10–47 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 60–90 pF) and PCB trace inductance. Values below 5 Ω risk oscillation; above 100 Ω increases switching losses unnecessarily.
Can BUZ73ALHXKSA1 be used in synchronous rectification?
No - its body diode reverse recovery time (trr = 140 ns) and charge (Qrr = 0.7 µC) are too high for efficient synchronous rectification above ~50 kHz. It is intended for low-frequency switching or freewheeling, not high-frequency SR replacement.
