Product details
Overview
IPI041N12N3GAKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 120 V, 4.1 mΩ N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in PG-TO262-3 (IPAK) package, rated for 120 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C and optimized for high-frequency switching and synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters and motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the IPI041N12N3GAKSA1 datasheet, IPI041N12N3GAKSA1 pinout, IPI041N12N3GAKSA1 application, or IPI041N12N3GAKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) ≤ 4.1 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, gate charge Qg = 158–211 nC, and thermal resistance RthJC = 0.5 K/W - all critical for thermally constrained, high-efficiency power stages.
Technical Context
This device employs Infineon's OptiMOSTM3 silicon process, delivering low gate charge × RDS(on) figure-of-merit (FOM) for reduced switching and conduction losses. Its 120 V V(BR)DSS rating supports 48 V and 60 V bus systems with margin, while the 175 °C Tj rating enables operation in high-ambient industrial environments without derating.
The MOSFET features a robust body diode with trr = 123 ns and Qrr = 356 nC, enabling reliable synchronous rectification in hard-switched topologies. Gate threshold voltage VGS(th) is tightly specified (2–4 V), ensuring stable turn-on across temperature and minimizing shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 120 V - supports 48 V/60 V bus systems with 2× voltage margin for transients |
| RDS(on) max | 4.1 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 100 A - enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 120 A |
| ID cont | 120 A at TC = 100 °C - matches high-current output stages in server PSUs and EV chargers |
| Qg | 158–211 nC - determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed trade-off |
| RthJC | 0.5 K/W - allows direct heatsink mounting for efficient thermal path to ambient |
| Tj max | 175 °C - enables full-rated operation in sealed enclosures up to 105 °C ambient |
| trr | 123 ns - limits reverse recovery loss during commutation in synchronous buck converters |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current, 120 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPB038N12N3G | RDS(on) = 3.8 mΩ (TO-263), lower on-resistance but higher Qg (211 nC) | Better conduction loss, worse switching loss above 200 kHz; requires larger gate driver | Select when thermal budget favors lower RDS(on) over switching frequency >300 kHz |
| IPP041N12N3G | Same RDS(on) and Qg, but TO-220-3 package with higher RthJC (0.7 K/W) | Lower cost, easier manual assembly, but limited to <80 A continuous in same footprint | Select for prototyping or low-volume industrial controls where heatsinking is less constrained |
Compared with IPB038N12N3G and IPP041N12N3G, IPI041N12N3GAKSA1 delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and superior thermal performance in surface-mount form - making it preferred for high-power-density, automated production applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The IPI041N12N3GAKSA1 is rated for 120 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area (6 cm²) and vertical mounting in still air, per JEDEC JESD51-2 standards.
Is this MOSFET suitable for synchronous rectification in a 400 kHz LLC converter?
Yes - its 4.1 mΩ RDS(on), 123 ns trr, and 356 nC Qrr are explicitly characterized for synchronous rectification. The low Qg/RDS(on) FOM and 175 °C Tj rating ensure stable operation at 400 kHz with minimal thermal rise in well-designed layouts.
Does the device have integrated ESD protection on the gate?
No - the IPI041N12N3GAKSA1 does not include on-die ESD protection. Gate-source voltage is rated only to ±20 V, and external gate protection (e.g., TVS diode or RC snubber) is recommended during handling and in-circuit transient suppression per Infineon Application Note AN2015-04.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC)?
RthJC is 0.5 K/W, measured under standard JEDEC test conditions (device mounted on 40 mm × 40 mm × 1.5 mm FR4 PCB with 6 cm² copper drain pad, vertical orientation, still air). This value is independent of ambient conditions and applies only to the junction-to-case path.
