Product details
Overview
H5N2901FN-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon N-channel MOSFET designed for high-speed power switching in DC-DC converters and motor drive circuits, featuring 290 V VDSS, 18 A continuous drain current, 0.070 Ω typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and TO-220FN package with isolated heatsink tab.
For engineers reviewing the H5N2901FN-E datasheet, H5N2901FN-E pinout, H5N2901FN-E application, or H5N2901FN-E equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche energy rating (2.1 mJ), body-diode reverse recovery time (190 ns), gate charge (56 nC), and thermal impedance (4.17 °C/W) for thermally constrained industrial power stages.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional high-voltage power switch with enhancement-mode gate control, optimized for hard-switched topologies where low conduction loss and fast turn-off are critical. Its 290 V breakdown voltage supports 200–240 VAC rectified bus applications, and its 150 °C channel temperature rating enables operation in ambient environments up to 85 °C with proper heatsinking.
The integrated body diode exhibits 0.9 V forward voltage at 18 A and 190 ns reverse recovery time under 100 A/µs di/dt, making it suitable for freewheeling paths in synchronous or quasi-resonant converters. Gate threshold voltage (3.0–4.0 V) ensures robust noise immunity while remaining compatible with standard 5 V and 10 V logic-level drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 290 V - Supports 240 VAC mains-derived DC buses with 20% margin |
| RDS(on) | 0.070 Ω (typ) at ID = 9 A, VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 9 A |
| Qg | 56 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed trade-off |
| tr/tf | 60 ns / 45 ns - Enables >100 kHz switching in hard-switched SMPS designs |
| θch-c | 4.17 °C/W - Requires ≥12 cm² 1 mm thick aluminum heatsink for 30 W dissipation at ΔT = 125 °C |
| EAR | 2.1 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive load energy without failure |
| ID | 18 A continuous - Rated for sustained current in motor phase-leg or PFC boost switches |
Pinout & Package
TO-220FN package with electrically isolated metal tab (pin 2) for direct heatsink mounting and enhanced thermal performance. Tab is connected to drain (D), enabling simplified mechanical integration without insulating hardware.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the H5N2901FN-E?
The H5N2901FN-E is rated for 18 A continuous drain current (ID) at Tc = 25 °C. Derating applies above 25 °C case temperature per the power vs. temperature curve on page 3 of the datasheet; at 75 °C case temperature, the usable ID drops to approximately 12 A. This rating assumes proper heatsinking using the isolated TO-220FN tab.
Does the H5N2901FN-E have an electrically isolated heatsink tab?
Yes, the H5N2901FN-E uses the TO-220FN package with an electrically isolated metal tab (pin 2), which is internally connected to the drain but insulated from the mounting surface. This allows direct attachment to a common heatsink without requiring insulating washers or pads, simplifying thermal design and reducing assembly cost in multi-device power modules.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for the H5N2901FN-E?
The H5N2901FN-E has a gate-to-source cutoff voltage (VGS(off)) range of 3.0 V to 4.0 V at VDS = 10 V and ID = 1 mA. This threshold ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V logic drivers while providing adequate noise margin against spurious gate triggering in noisy industrial environments.
Can the H5N2901FN-E be used in avalanche mode, and what are its ratings?
Yes, the H5N2901FN-E is specified for single-pulse avalanche operation with IAP = 6 A and EAR = 2.1 mJ at Tch ≤ 150 °C. These values are measured under controlled conditions (Tch = 25 °C, STch = 25 °C); repeated avalanche stress is not recommended. The H5N2901FN-E's ruggedness supports inductive load switching without external snubbers in well-designed layouts.
What is the typical reverse recovery time of the body diode in the H5N2901FN-E?
The H5N2901FN-E body diode has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 190 ns under test conditions of IF = 18 A, dIF/dt = 100 A/µs, and VGS = 0 V. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the datasheet and supports efficient freewheeling in hard-switched topologies up to ~200 kHz.
