Product details
Overview
IPP050N03LF2SAKSA1 from Infineon is a logic-level N-channel MOSFET in PG-TO220-3 package, rated for 30 V VDS, 4.95 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 53 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It features 100% avalanche testing, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and is optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and motor control stages.
For engineers reviewing the IPP050N03LF2SAKSA1 datasheet, IPP050N03LF2SAKSA1 pinout, IPP050N03LF2SAKSA1 application, or IPP050N03LF2SAKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 4.5 V gate drive, Qg = 10–15 nC, thermal resistance RthJC = 2.3 °C/W, and avalanche energy EAS = 72–143 mJ - all critical for synchronous buck and half-bridge switching designs.
Technical Context
This StrongIRFET™ 2 device uses trench-based silicon technology to achieve low RDS(on) with fast switching (tr = 16 ns, tf = 6.4 ns) and low gate charge (Qgs = 4.8 nC, Qgd = 3.2 nC). Its logic-level threshold (VGS(th) = 1.35–2.35 V) enables direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V controllers without gate drivers.
The integrated body diode exhibits low VSD = 0.85–1.0 V at 30 A and fast reverse recovery (trr = 15 ns, Qrr = 33 nC), supporting high-frequency synchronous rectification and bidirectional power flow in battery management systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 24 V nominal bus applications |
| RDS(on) max | 4.95 mΩ at VGS = 10 V - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 45 A in TO-220 footprint |
| ID cont | 53 A at TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current load switching with minimal heatsinking |
| Qg total | 10–15 nC at VGS = 0–4.5 V - Low gate drive power for 500 kHz+ PWM operation |
| EAS | 72–143 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy without failure in motor drives |
| RthJC | 2.3 °C/W - Enables thermal design with case temperature monitoring at 175 °C limit |
| VGS(th) | 1.35–2.35 V - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard microcontroller GPIOs |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO220-3 (standard through-hole, isolated tab, lead-free, RoHS/halogen-free compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control input | Receives logic-level gate drive; low input capacitance (Ciss = 1400 pF) minimizes driver loading |
| Tab (Drain) | Main power output | Electrically connected to drain; serves as primary thermal path to heatsink |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Reference node | Common return for gate drive and load current; defines local ground reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS ≥ 4.5 V - eliminates need for level-shifting or dedicated gate drivers |
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees ruggedness against inductive switching transients in motor and solenoid loads |
| 175 °C rated junction | Supports operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., automotive under-hood, industrial enclosures) |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | Qgd = 3.2 nC / Qg ≈ 0.32 - improves Miller immunity and reduces switching oscillation risk |
| Optimized body diode | trr = 15 ns, Qrr = 33 nC - minimizes reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectifier topologies |
Applications
| DC-DC Synchronous Buck Converter | Brushless DC Motor Inverter Stage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP55NF03L | RDS(on) = 5.5 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 18 nC; TO-220FP package (lower power dissipation) | Slightly higher conduction loss; less suitable for >400 kHz switching due to higher Qg | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and thermal margin is constrained |
| IRF3710ZPBF | RDS(on) = 21 mΩ @ 10 V; VDS = 100 V; higher voltage rating but significantly higher on-resistance | Better for 48 V bus systems; unsuitable for high-current 24 V designs due to 2.5× RDS(on) | Select only if system requires >30 V blocking and trade-off in efficiency is acceptable |
Compared with STP55NF03L and IRF3710ZPBF, IPP050N03LF2SAKSA1 delivers the lowest RDS(on) and gate charge in its 30 V class, making it optimal for high-efficiency, high-frequency, and thermally constrained applications where conduction and switching losses must be minimized simultaneously.

FAQ
Is IPP050N03LF2SAKSA1 pin-compatible with earlier StrongIRFET™ generation devices?
No. IPP050N03LF2SAKSA1 uses the PG-TO220-3 package with Gate–Drain–Source pinout (Pin 1–Tab–Pin 3), while legacy StrongIRFET™ 1 devices like IPP050N03LG use identical pinout but differ in RDS(on) (5.2 mΩ vs. 4.95 mΩ), Qg (12 nC vs. 10–15 nC), and thermal resistance (2.5 °C/W vs. 2.3 °C/W). Mechanical fit is identical, but electrical performance is improved.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for thermal performance?
The datasheet specifies optimal thermal performance with a 40 mm × 40 mm × 1.5 mm FR4 PCB featuring 6 cm² of 70 μm-thick copper on one layer connected to the drain tab. This yields RthJA = 40 °C/W. Reducing copper area increases RthJA to 62 °C/W (minimal footprint); forced airflow or larger copper pours further improve dissipation.
Does IPP050N03LF2SAKSA1 support 3.3 V gate drive in practice?
Yes. With VGS(th) = 1.35–2.35 V and guaranteed RDS(on) ≤ 7.5 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, the device achieves usable conduction at 3.3 V gate drive - though RDS(on) rises to ~12–15 mΩ. For full-rated current (53 A), VGS ≥ 4.5 V is required per datasheet specifications.
How is avalanche ruggedness validated for this part?
Each IPP050N03LF2SAKSA1 unit undergoes 100% single-pulse avalanche testing per JEDEC JESD22-A109, with EAS = 72 mJ (ID = 30 A, RL = 25 Ω) and 143 mJ (ID = 15 A, RL = 25 Ω). Test conditions are monitored in real time; units failing energy threshold are rejected.
