Product details
Overview
FS50KM-2-AX#204 from Renesas Electronics is a high-speed N-channel power MOSFET designed for switching applications in motor control, lamp drivers, solenoid interfaces, and DC-DC converters. It features 100 V VDSS, 50 A continuous drain current (ID), 39 mΩ typical rDS(ON) at 10 V gate drive, integrated fast-recovery body diode (105 ns), and 2000 V isolation voltage (Viso).
For engineers reviewing the FS50KM-2-AX#204 datasheet, FS50KM-2-AX#204 pinout, FS50KM-2-AX#204 application, or FS50KM-2-AX#204 equivalent, key selection criteria include its TO-220FN package with isolated case, 50 A/100 V rating, low on-resistance under 10 V gate drive, fast switching times (td(on) = 35 ns, tf = 80 ns), and suitability for industrial power switching where thermal performance and isolation are critical.
Technical Context
This device employs a planar vertical DMOS structure optimized for high-current, high-voltage switching with minimal conduction and switching losses. Its gate threshold voltage (2.0–4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level or 10 V gate drivers, while the 2300 pF input capacitance (Ciss) and 185 pF reverse transfer capacitance (Crss) support stable high-frequency operation up to several hundred kHz.
The integrated fast-recovery body diode enables synchronous rectification and freewheeling in inductive loads without external diode addition. Thermal resistance from channel to case is 4.17 °C/W, enabling 30 W continuous dissipation at Tc = 25°C - a design point validated for heatsink-mounted industrial power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 100 V - Withstands up to 100 V drain-source blocking voltage, suitable for 48 V and 72 V bus systems with margin. |
| ID (continuous) | 50 A - Supports high-current motor and solenoid loads without derating at Tc ≤ 25°C. |
| rDS(ON) (max) | 55 mΩ - Limits conduction loss to ≤1.38 V drop at 25 A, enabling >95% efficiency in 12–48 V switch-mode stages. |
| tr/tf | 86 ns / 80 ns - Enables clean switching at ≥200 kHz PWM frequencies with minimized overlap loss. |
| Viso | 2000 V AC - Provides reinforced isolation between drain and heatsink-mounted case, meeting IEC 60950 creepage/clearance requirements. |
| trr | 105 ns - Fast body diode recovery reduces switching noise and prevents cross-conduction in half-bridge topologies. |
| Rth(ch–c) | 4.17 °C/W - Allows direct mounting to aluminum heatsinks for passive or forced-air thermal management in enclosed industrial enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
FS50KM-2-AX#204 is housed in the TO-220FN (RENESAS code PRSS0003AB-A) package - a full-molded, isolated-tab variant of TO-220 with electrically insulated metal tab rated for 2000 V AC. The case serves as the Drain terminal and is thermally conductive but electrically isolated from internal die.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Lead) | Gate | High-impedance MOSFET control input; requires <50 Ω gate resistor to limit ringing and ensure 35 ns turn-on delay. |
| 2 (Tab) | Drain | High-voltage power output node; electrically isolated from case but thermally coupled - mounts directly to heatsink. |
| 3 (Lead) | Source | Power return path and reference for gate drive; connects to low-side shunt or controller ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 10 V gate drive compatibility | Ensures full enhancement at standard industrial logic levels, eliminating need for level-shifting or charge-pump gate drivers. |
| Integrated fast-recovery body diode | Eliminates discrete anti-parallel diode in H-bridge or buck converter designs, reducing BOM count and PCB area by ~25 mm². |
| Isolated TO-220FN package | Enables direct heatsink mounting without insulating pads or hardware, cutting thermal resistance by up to 1.2 °C/W vs. standard TO-220. |
| Low Crss (185 pF) | Minimizes Miller effect during high dv/dt switching, improving noise immunity and gate drive stability in noisy industrial environments. |
| 50 A pulsed current rating (IDM) | Supports short-duration inrush currents in motor startup or solenoid pull-in without SOA violation. |
Applications
| Motor Control | Lamp Control |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP55NF10 | Same VDSS (100 V), higher rDS(ON) (max 33 mΩ), no isolation rating, TO-220AB package (non-isolated tab). | Requires insulating pad and screw hardware for heatsink mounting; unsuitable where safety isolation is mandated. | Select when cost is prioritized over isolation and thermal interface simplicity. |
| IXFH50N10P | Same VDSS and ID, lower rDS(ON) (typ 22 mΩ), 1500 V isolation, TO-247 package - larger footprint and higher gate charge (120 nC vs. 75 nC). | Better conduction efficiency but slower switching (td(off) ≈ 140 ns); requires larger PCB real estate and more robust gate driver. | Select when lowest conduction loss dominates over switching speed and board space constraints. |
Compared with STP55NF10 and IXFH50N10P, FS50KM-2-AX#204 uniquely balances isolation integrity, thermal interface simplicity, and mid-range switching performance - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial controls where safety certification and heatsink integration are design priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for FS50KM-2-AX#204?
The FS50KM-2-AX#204 has a maximum continuous drain current (ID) rating of 50 A at case temperature Tc = 25°C. This rating assumes proper heatsinking and derates linearly above 25°C per the specified thermal resistance of 4.17 °C/W. At Tc = 100°C, the usable ID drops to approximately 18 A to maintain safe channel temperature limits.
Does FS50KM-2-AX#204 require an external flyback diode in solenoid applications?
No, FS50KM-2-AX#204 does not require an external flyback diode in solenoid applications because it integrates a fast-recovery body diode with typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 105 ns. This diode safely recirculates inductive energy during turn-off, provided layout minimizes parasitic inductance and the applied voltage remains within the 100 V VDSS rating.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for FS50KM-2-AX#204?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for FS50KM-2-AX#204 is specified from 2.0 V (minimum) to 4.0 V (maximum) at ID = 1 mA and VDS = 10 V. This range ensures consistent turn-on behavior across process variation and temperature, supporting reliable operation with 5 V or 10 V gate drive without risk of partial enhancement.
Can FS50KM-2-AX#204 be used in a half-bridge configuration?
Yes, FS50KM-2-AX#204 can be used in half-bridge configurations, particularly as the low-side switch. Its 100 V VDSS, fast switching (td(on) = 35 ns, tf = 80 ns), and low Crss (185 pF) support clean commutation. For high-side use, a floating gate driver capable of delivering 10 V referenced to the switching node is required, and shoot-through must be prevented via dead-time control.
What is the isolation voltage rating and test condition for FS50KM-2-AX#204?
The FS50KM-2-AX#204 has an isolation voltage (Viso) rating of 2000 V AC, tested for one minute between the drain-connected metal tab and all leads. This rating applies to the TO-220FN package's reinforced insulation system and is verified per industry-standard hipot testing protocols, confirming suitability for applications requiring basic or reinforced isolation per IEC 60950-1.
