Product details
Overview
IPP120N10S405AKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 100 V, 120 A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in PG-TO220-3-1 package, AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive power switching, with RDS(on) max of 5.0 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and 100% single-pulse avalanche tested to 330 mJ at ID = 60 A.
For engineers reviewing the IPP120N10S405AKSA1 datasheet, IPP120N10S405AKSA1 pinout, IPP120N10S405AKSA1 application, or IPP120N10S405AKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.8 K/W), gate plateau voltage (4.9 V), reverse recovery charge (130 nC), and SOA compliance up to 100 V/120 A in continuous conduction mode.
Technical Context
This OptiMOS™-T2 device uses trench-gate superjunction technology optimized for low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit in high-current DC-DC and motor drive stages. Its 175 °C maximum operating temperature and MSL1 rating support under-hood automotive deployment without derating.
The integrated body diode exhibits trr = 65 ns and Qrr = 130 nC at VR = 50 V, IF = 50 A, diF/dt = 100 A/µs, enabling hard-switched synchronous rectification with controlled commutation loss.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V - supports 48 V and 60 V automotive battery architectures with 20 % margin |
| RDS(on) max | 5.0 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - enables ≤1.2 W conduction loss at 120 A DC |
| ID continuous | 120 A @ TC = 25 °C - rated for high-current load switching with external heatsink |
| EAS | 330 mJ - ensures robustness against inductive turn-off transients in motor control |
| Qg | 91 nC max - determines gate driver current requirement (~1.8 A peak for 50 ns rise) |
| tr/tf | 10 ns / 35 ns - supports >500 kHz switching in resonant topologies |
| RthJC | 0.8 K/W - allows direct thermal path to heatsink with minimal interface resistance |
Pinout & Package
IPP120N10S405AKSA1 is housed in PG-TO220-3-1 package: insulated tab, vertical mounting, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, with drain-connected tab for thermal and electrical integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for IPP120N10S405AKSA1?
The absolute maximum gate-source voltage is ±20 V. Operation beyond ±20 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended drive range is 0 V to 10 V for normal switching; gate drivers must clamp at ±20 V and limit dv/dt during turn-on to prevent unintended Miller-induced turn-on.
Does IPP120N10S405AKSA1 include an integrated body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, it features a monolithic body diode with VSD = 1.0–1.3 V at IF = 100 A and Tj = 25 °C, trr = 65 ns, and Qrr = 130 nC under specified test conditions. This diode is optimized for fast recovery and low stored charge, supporting synchronous rectification in hard-switched topologies.
How does the thermal resistance RthJC of 0.8 K/W translate to practical heatsink design?
With RthJC = 0.8 K/W and maximum Tj = 175 °C, a case temperature of 100 °C allows 94 W of power dissipation (ΔT = 75 K ÷ 0.8 K/W). To achieve this, the heatsink must maintain TC ≤ 100 °C under worst-case ambient and airflow-typically requiring ≥150 cm² finned aluminum surface area in natural convection.
Is IPP120N10S405AKSA1 suitable for use in non-automotive industrial applications?
Yes-its 175 °C rating, 100 % avalanche testing, and RoHS compliance make it suitable for industrial motor drives, UPS systems, and solar inverters. However, AEC-Q101 qualification does not imply automotive qualification for end-system certification; system-level validation remains the customer's responsibility.
