Product details
Overview
H5N2521FN-E#T2 from Renesas Electronics is a silicon N-channel MOSFET designed for high-speed power switching in DC-DC converters, motor drivers, and solid-state relays. It features 250 V VDSS, 3 A continuous drain current, 1.5 Ω typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 9 ns turn-on delay, and TO-220FN package with isolated heatsink tab.
For engineers reviewing the H5N2521FN-E#T2 datasheet, H5N2521FN-E#T2 pinout, H5N2521FN-E#T2 application, or H5N2521FN-E#T2 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche energy rating (2.2 mJ), body-diode reverse recovery time (82 ns), gate charge (5.3 nC), and thermal impedance (6.25 °C/W) for thermally constrained industrial switching designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar vertical DMOS structure optimized for fast switching with low conduction loss. Its gate threshold voltage range (3.0–4.5 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V logic-level drivers, while ±30 V VGSS rating supports robust gate drive margin against transients.
The integrated body diode exhibits 0.89 V typical forward voltage at 3 A and 82 ns reverse recovery time under 100 A/µs di/dt - enabling efficient synchronous rectification and freewheeling in hard-switched topologies without external diode supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 250 V - Withstands up to 250 V drain-source blocking voltage, suitable for 200 V-class bus applications. |
| RDS(on) | 1.5 Ω (typ) at VGS = 10 V - Delivers low conduction loss at 3 A ID, minimizing I²R heating in compact power stages. |
| Qg | 5.3 nC - Enables fast switching with moderate gate driver strength; reduces switching loss in 100–500 kHz SMPS. |
| tr/tf | 7 ns / 7 ns - Supports high-frequency operation with minimal overlap loss in half-bridge configurations. |
| θch-c | 6.25 °C/W - Allows 20 W channel dissipation at Tc = 25 °C; requires heatsinking for sustained >10 W operation. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the H5N2521FN-E#T2?
The H5N2521FN-E#T2 has a continuous drain current (ID) rating of 3 A at Tc = 25 °C. This rating assumes proper heatsinking to maintain case temperature within limits; derating applies above 25 °C per the 6.25 °C/W thermal impedance curve shown in the datasheet. At Tc = 100 °C, the usable ID drops to approximately 1.6 A.
Does the H5N2521FN-E#T2 have an insulated package tab?
Yes, the H5N2521FN-E#T2 uses the TO-220FN package (RENESAS code PRSS0003AB-A), which features an electrically insulated metal tab. This allows direct mounting to a heatsink without requiring additional insulating hardware such as mica washers or silicone pads - simplifying thermal design and improving long-term reliability in industrial environments.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for the H5N2521FN-E#T2?
The H5N2521FN-E#T2 has a gate-to-source cutoff voltage (VGS(off)) range of 3.0 V to 4.5 V at ID = 1 mA. This ensures consistent turn-on behavior with standard 5 V logic-level gate drivers while maintaining sufficient noise margin against false triggering in electrically noisy industrial settings.
Can the H5N2521FN-E#T2 be used in avalanche mode?
Yes, the H5N2521FN-E#T2 is rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAR) of 2.2 mJ at Tch ≤ 150 °C. This specification validates its use in circuits subject to inductive switching transients - such as relay coil suppression or motor phase switching - provided pulse conditions meet the datasheet's STch = 25 °C and Tch ≤ 150 °C constraints.
What is the typical body-diode reverse recovery time of the H5N2521FN-E#T2?
The H5N2521FN-E#T2 exhibits a typical body-drain diode reverse recovery time (trr) of 82 ns under test conditions of IF = 3 A, dIF/dt = 100 A/µs, and VGS = 0. This fast recovery supports efficient freewheeling in half-bridge and synchronous rectifier topologies without significant switching loss or voltage overshoot.
