Product details
Overview
IPP051N15N5AKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 150 V, 120 A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO-220-3 package with 5.1 mΩ max RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 83 nC Qrr, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature-designed for high-frequency synchronous rectification in server power supplies and telecom DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the IPP051N15N5AKSA1 datasheet, IPP051N15N5AKSA1 pinout, IPP051N15N5AKSA1 application, or IPP051N15N5AKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include low gate charge × RDS(on) figure-of-merit (FOM), ultra-low reverse recovery charge for ZVS/ZCS operation, thermal robustness up to 175 °C, and JEDEC-qualified reliability for industrial and telecom power systems.
Technical Context
This OptiMOS™5 device uses trench-gate superjunction technology to achieve simultaneous low conduction loss (5.1 mΩ) and fast switching (Qg = 100 nC, Qgd = 24 nC), enabling high-efficiency operation above 300 kHz in hard-switched and resonant topologies. Its 83 nC reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and 60 ns typical trr minimize diode-related losses during commutation.
The MOSFET features a 150 V VDS rating with 230 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS), 0.3 K/W typical RthJC, and gate threshold voltage of 3.8 V (typical) - supporting stable turn-on under wide VGS margin while maintaining low dynamic losses in high-side and low-side configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 150 V - Withstands 150 V drain-source blocking voltage, suitable for 48 V input bus and 12 V output DC-DC stages with safety margin. |
| RDS(on), max | 5.1 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 60 A - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 120 A continuous current with proper heatsinking. |
| Qrr | 83 nC - Reduces switching loss and EMI in synchronous rectifiers by minimizing body diode reverse recovery tail current. |
| ID, cont | 120 A at TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current output rails in server VRMs and base station power modules. |
| Tj, max | 175 °C - Allows sustained operation in thermally constrained environments such as sealed telecom enclosures. |
| Qg | 100 nC - Enables efficient gate drive with standard 1–2 A peak drivers while maintaining <20 ns rise/fall times. |
| EAS | 230 mJ - Provides ruggedness against inductive load transients and short-circuit events without failure. |
Pinout & Package
Delivered in PG-TO220-3 package with isolated metal tab (Drain-connected). Standard TO-220-3 mechanical outline supports screw-mount heatsinking and manual PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives gate drive signal; requires ≤20 V absolute max VGS; low input capacitance (Ciss = 7.8 nF) reduces driver loading. |
| Pin 2 (Drain) + Tab | High-side power terminal | Electrically connected to exposed metal tab; must be insulated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground or floating rail. |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Reference node / return path | Serves as common reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical for minimizing VGS ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low FOM (Qg × RDS(on)) | 510 nC·mΩ - Enables higher frequency operation without sacrificing efficiency in LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge converters. |
| Low Qrr and trr | 83 nC Qrr, 60 ns trr - Reduces cross-conduction loss and improves light-load efficiency in synchronous rectification. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current, high-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP110N15F7 | RDS(on) = 5.3 mΩ (max), Qrr = 110 nC, Tj,max = 175 °C, TO-220FP package (lower power dissipation capability) | Higher Qrr increases switching loss in ZVS designs; lower Ptot rating limits use in high-duty-cycle applications. | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs 15–20% efficiency penalty at >200 kHz; verify thermal margin with RthJA = 62 K/W. |
| IXTH120N15L2 | RDS(on) = 4.8 mΩ (max), Qrr = 135 nC, Tj,max = 175 °C, TO-247 package (higher thermal performance but larger footprint) | Higher Qrr degrades light-load efficiency; TO-247 requires more PCB area and different mounting hardware. | Preferred when thermal budget is tight and board space allows; avoid in compact telecom modules due to footprint and layout complexity. |
Compared with STP110N15F7 and IXTH120N15L2, IPP051N15N5AKSA1 delivers the lowest Qrr-to-RDS(on) ratio (16.3 nC/mΩ), making it optimal for high-frequency synchronous rectification where diode recovery dominates loss mechanisms - especially in space-constrained, thermally aggressive telecom and server applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IPP051N15N5AKSA1 at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 115 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 2 of the Rev. 2.1 datasheet. This reflects thermal derating from the 120 A rating at 25 °C case temperature, based on RthJC = 0.3 K/W and safe operating area constraints.
Is IPP051N15N5AKSA1 suitable for use in synchronous rectification with 12 V output and 500 kHz switching?
Yes - its 83 nC Qrr, 5.1 mΩ RDS(on), and 100 nC Qg enable efficient synchronous rectification at 500 kHz. Measured trr of 60–120 ns and low Coss (1.95 nF) minimize dead-time losses and EMI generation in high-frequency buck-derived topologies.
Does the TO-220-3 package have an electrically isolated tab?
No - the metal tab is internally connected to Pin 2 (Drain) and is not electrically isolated. When mounted to a heatsink, electrical isolation (e.g., mica washer or silicone pad) is required unless the heatsink is referenced to the drain potential or system ground is designed accordingly.
What is the gate threshold voltage range, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
VGS(th) ranges from 3.0 V to 4.6 V (min/typ/max) at Tj = 25 °C. This ensures reliable turn-on with 5 V logic-level drivers while avoiding unintended conduction from noise; a 10 V gate drive is recommended to fully enhance the channel and minimize RDS(on) variation across temperature.
