Product details
Overview
DMN95H8D5HCT from Diodes Incorporated is a 950V N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO220AB package, rated for 2.5A continuous drain current at TC = +25°C, with RDS(ON) ≤ 7Ω at VGS = 10V and BVDSS = 950V. It delivers low input capacitance (Ciss = 470pF), fast switching, and robust avalanche capability (EAS = 97mJ), enabling use in high-voltage DC-DC converters and motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DMN95H8D5HCT datasheet, DMN95H8D5HCT pinout, DMN95H8D5HCT application, or DMN95H8D5HCT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 950V breakdown rating, thermal resistance RθJC = 1°C/W, body diode recovery time tRR = 375ns, gate charge Qg = 7.9nC, and TO220AB mechanical compatibility with standard heatsinks.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process technology optimized for high-voltage operation, featuring a rugged drift region design that supports 950V blocking while maintaining low RDS(ON). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(TH) = 3.0–5.0V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level drivers.
The device integrates a fast-recovery intrinsic body diode (tRR = 375ns, QRR = 2.9µC) and exhibits low dynamic losses via Crss = 0.6pF and Qgd = 2.9nC - critical for hard-switched topologies operating up to several hundred kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 950 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; enables direct use in 800V DC bus systems without series stacking. |
| RDS(ON) | 5.5–7 Ω @ VGS = 10V - Low conduction loss at rated current; supports <1.75W I²R loss at 2.5A DC. |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 2.5 A - Continuous drain current rating under ideal heatsink conditions; derates to 1.5A at TC = 100°C. |
| Ciss | 470 pF - Input capacitance determines gate drive energy requirement and switching speed limit in hard-switched applications. |
| tRR | 375 ns - Body diode reverse recovery time; impacts commutation loss and EMI in flyback and LLC resonant converters. |
| EAS | 97 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; provides margin against transient overvoltage events without failure. |
| RθJC | 1 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables precise heatsink sizing using measured case temperature. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO220AB (Type TH), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated copper leadframe, UL 94V-0 rated, weight ≈1.85 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | High-side power switch node | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground. |
| Source | Return path for load current | Common reference for gate drive; ties to power ground or low-side switch source in half-bridge configurations. |
| Gate | Control terminal | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <7.9nC total charge for full turn-on; sensitive to ESD and ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High BVDSS rating | 950V breakdown supports 800V DC-link operation with 15% safety margin per IEC 62368-1. |
| Low Ciss & Crss | 470pF input capacitance and 0.6pF reverse transfer capacitance reduce Miller effect and improve switching controllability. |
| Fast body diode | 375ns reverse recovery time minimizes commutation loss in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback converters. |
| Robust thermal performance | RθJC = 1°C/W allows 125W dissipation at ΔTJC = 125°C - compatible with standard TO220 heatsinks. |
| Green RoHS-compliant construction | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements. |
Applications
| Motor Control | Backlighting |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving brushed DC motors in industrial actuators with 400–800V DC supply rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side power switch in H-bridge or single-ended topology, handling bidirectional current up to 2.5A. Use Value: 950V BVDSS prevents breakdown during inductive kickback; low RDS(ON) reduces heat generation during continuous PWM operation. |
Use Scenario: High-voltage LED string control in commercial signage and medical display backlighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current switch in boost-derived LED driver, operating at 100–300kHz switching frequency. Use Value: Fast tRR and low Qgd enable clean turn-off with minimal voltage overshoot across LED strings, reducing EMI filter burden. |
| DC-DC Converters | Power Management |
Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in isolated 1kW telecom rectifier with 800V input stage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hard-switched MOSFET in forward or active-clamp forward topology, gated by transformer-isolated driver. Use Value: 97mJ EAS rating absorbs leakage inductance spikes without snubber redesign; RθJC = 1°C/W simplifies thermal interface design. |
Use Scenario: Overvoltage protection switch in industrial PLC power input modules with 1000V surge immunity requirement. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Crowbar or clamping element triggered by transient voltage detector circuitry. Use Value: Guaranteed 950V VDSS and low IDSS (<1µA) ensure stable off-state blocking during long-term standby under high-humidity conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP9NK90ZFP | 900V VDSS, RDS(ON) = 1.2Ω @ VGS = 10V, TO220FP package (shorter leads, lower LDS) | Better conduction efficiency below 1A but lower avalanche rating (EAS = 40mJ); unsuitable for unclamped inductive switching. | Select when lower RDS(ON) dominates and avalanche stress is absent; verify gate drive strength for higher Qg (16nC). |
| FQP9N90C | 900V VDSS, RDS(ON) = 1.4Ω @ VGS = 10V, TO220 package, no specified tRR or QRR | Lacks documented body diode recovery specs; not recommended for synchronous rectification or freewheeling in DCM. | Acceptable only in resistive or lightly inductive loads where diode conduction is avoided or externally clamped. |
Compared with STP9NK90ZFP and FQP9N90C, DMN95H8D5HCT trades higher RDS(ON) for superior 950V rating, guaranteed 375ns tRR, and 97mJ EAS - making it uniquely suitable for unclamped inductive switching in 800V-class industrial power supplies.

FAQ
Is DMN95H8D5HCT suitable for automotive applications?
No - DMN95H8D5HCT is not qualified to AEC-Q101 and lacks PPAP documentation or IATF 16949-certified manufacturing evidence per the datasheet note. It is intended for industrial, telecom, and commercial power systems only. Automotive designs require explicit AEC qualification and change control, which this part does not carry.
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for continuous use?
The junction temperature must not exceed +150°C. With RθJC = 1°C/W and PD = 125W at TC = +25°C, sustained operation requires TC ≤ +25°C for full power - meaning active heatsinking and forced airflow are essential above ~50W dissipation. Derating curves in Figure 12 define safe area limits for pulse operation.
Does the body diode support synchronous rectification?
No - the body diode has tRR = 375ns and QRR = 2.9µC, which is too slow and lossy for efficient synchronous rectification in high-frequency (>100kHz) topologies. It is designed for freewheeling or clamping roles, not active rectification. External Schottky or GaN-based synchronous rectifiers are required for such applications.
Can DMN95H8D5HCT replace older 1000V MOSFETs like IRFP460?
Yes - with caveats: DMN95H8D5HCT matches IRFP460's 500V-rated predecessor in voltage class (950V vs 500V), but offers lower RDS(ON) (7Ω vs 0.27Ω), higher VDSS, and better thermal resistance (RθJC = 1°C/W vs 0.83°C/W). However, its higher gate charge (7.9nC vs 130nC) eases drive requirements, though layout must minimize gate loop inductance due to fast dv/dt capability (3.3V/ns).
