Product details
Overview
H5N5016PL-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon N-channel MOSFET designed for high-speed power switching in industrial and commercial DC-DC converters, motor drives, and UPS systems. It features 500 V VDSS, 50 A continuous drain current (ID), and low 0.108 Ω typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, enabling efficient high-voltage switching with minimal conduction loss.
For engineers reviewing the H5N5016PL-E datasheet, H5N5016PL-E pinout, H5N5016PL-E application, or H5N5016PL-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its TO-3PL package thermal performance (θch-c = 0.5 °C/W), built-in fast-recovery body diode (trr = 230 ns), and avalanche-rated operation (EAR = 5.5 mJ) for robustness in inductive load switching.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar vertical DMOS architecture optimized for high-voltage, high-current switching with low gate charge (Qg = 130 nC) and fast turn-on/turn-off times (td(on) = 60 ns, td(off) = 250 ns). Its gate threshold voltage range (VGS(off) = 1.5–4.0 V) ensures reliable enhancement-mode operation across temperature.
The integrated body-drain diode supports synchronous rectification and freewheeling functions without external diodes. Thermal design is enabled by direct-flange mounting (Drain = case) and a maximum channel temperature rating of 150 °C, supporting continuous operation up to 250 W at Tc = 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 500 V - Withstands up to 500 V drain-to-source blocking voltage, suitable for 400 V bus applications with safety margin. |
| ID (continuous) | 50 A - Supports high-current loads such as 3 kW motor inverters or industrial SMPS primary switches. |
| RDS(on) (typ) | 0.108 Ω - Delivers ≤ 270 W conduction loss at 50 A, reducing heatsink requirements in high-efficiency designs. |
| trr (body diode) | 230 ns - Enables fast freewheeling in hard-switched topologies with low reverse recovery loss. |
| Qg | 130 nC - Allows efficient gate drive with standard 1–2 A peak drivers; reduces switching loss at 100 kHz+ frequencies. |
| θch-c | 0.5 °C/W - Enables direct heatsinking via flanged Drain terminal, supporting high-power density layouts. |
| EAR | 5.5 mJ - Rated for single-pulse avalanche energy, enhancing ruggedness during inductive load turn-off transients. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-3PL (RENESAS code PRSS0004ZF-A), metal-flanged through-hole package with isolated gate and source terminals; Drain connected directly to flange for optimal thermal and electrical path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Gate (G) | Control electrode | High-impedance input requiring <130 nC total charge; must be driven with low-inductance path to minimize ringing. |
| 2 - Drain (D) | Main current output / heat sink interface | Electrically and thermally tied to metal flange; requires insulated mounting hardware when heatsink is grounded. |
| 3 - Source (S) | Reference node / return path | Common reference for gate drive and load return; layout must minimize inductance to preserve switching speed and stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) | 0.108 Ω typ at 25 A/10 V enables <270 W conduction loss at full rated current, improving system efficiency over competing 500 V MOSFETs. |
| Built-in fast-recovery diode | 230 ns reverse recovery time and 1.5 µC Qrr reduce switching loss and EMI in flyback and half-bridge freewheeling paths. |
| Avalanche-rated | 10 A IAP and 5.5 mJ EAR support unclamped inductive switching without external snubbers in motor control and relay driving. |
| High thermal conductivity package | 0.5 °C/W channel-to-case impedance allows 250 W dissipation at 25 °C case temperature, simplifying thermal management. |
| Robust gate oxide | ±30 V VGS rating protects against transient overvoltage during PCB handling and gate driver overshoot. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW50N50FD | 500 V, 50 A, RDS(on) = 0.11 Ω, TO-3PF package, no specified avalanche rating | Lacks documented avalanche energy spec; higher Ciss (5900 pF) increases gate drive loss | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs ruggedness requirements; verify layout for higher gate charge demand. |
| IXFH50N50P | 500 V, 50 A, RDS(on) = 0.10 Ω, TO-247 package, EAS = 1200 mJ (repetitive) | Higher avalanche capability but larger footprint and higher Coss (850 pF); requires larger heatsink due to θjc = 0.75 °C/W | Selected for designs needing repetitive avalanche tolerance and lower RDS(on), accepting trade-offs in size and thermal resistance. |
Compared with STW50N50FD and IXFH50N50P, the H5N5016PL-E offers superior thermal resistance (0.5 °C/W vs. ≥0.75 °C/W), tighter RDS(on) distribution, and verified single-pulse avalanche capability-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability industrial switching where flange-mount thermal performance is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the H5N5016PL-E?
The H5N5016PL-E has a maximum continuous drain current (ID) rating of 50 A at Tc = 25 °C. This rating assumes proper heatsinking via the flanged Drain terminal and derates linearly above 25 °C case temperature per the published thermal derating curve. At Tc = 100 °C, the usable ID drops to approximately 20 A.
Does the H5N5016PL-E include an integrated body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, the H5N5016PL-E integrates a fast-recovery body-drain diode with a typical forward voltage (VDF) of 1.05 V at 50 A and reverse recovery time (trr) of 230 ns. Its reverse recovery charge (Qrr) is 1.5 µC under standard test conditions (IF = 50 A, diF/dt = 100 A/µs), enabling efficient freewheeling in hard-switched topologies.
What is the gate-to-source voltage limit for the H5N5016PL-E, and why is it important?
The H5N5016PL-E specifies a gate-to-source voltage limit (VGS) of ±30 V. Exceeding this rating risks permanent gate oxide damage. This robust rating allows compatibility with standard ±15 V gate drivers and provides margin against transient overshoot during fast switching, especially in high-dV/dt environments like motor drives.
How does the thermal performance of the H5N5016PL-E compare to TO-247 packaged MOSFETs?
The H5N5016PL-E's TO-3PL package delivers a channel-to-case thermal impedance (θch-c) of 0.5 °C/W-significantly lower than typical TO-247 devices (0.75–1.0 °C/W). This enables higher power dissipation at the same case temperature or smaller heatsinks, making the H5N5016PL-E advantageous in space-constrained industrial power modules.
Is the H5N5016PL-E suitable for avalanche-prone applications such as relay driving or inductive load switching?
Yes, the H5N5016PL-E is explicitly rated for single-pulse avalanche operation with IAP = 10 A and EAR = 5.5 mJ at Tch ≤ 150 °C. This makes it suitable for controlled unclamped inductive switching in applications like solenoid drivers, contactor control, and motor phase commutation where energy absorption without external clamping is required.
