Product details
Overview
IPP50N10S3L16AKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode OptiMOS™-T power MOSFET in PG-TO220-3-1 package, rated for 100 V VDS, 50 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 15.4 mΩ max RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It is AEC-Q101 qualified, supports 175 °C operation, and features 100% single-pulse avalanche testing - used in automotive DC-DC converters and motor control H-bridge high-side switches.
For engineers reviewing the IPP50N10S3L16AKSA1 datasheet, IPP50N10S3L16AKSA1 pinout, IPP50N10S3L16AKSA1 application, or IPP50N10S3L16AKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 4.5 V/10 V, avalanche energy (EAS = 330 mJ), thermal resistance (RthJC = 1.5 K/W), diode forward voltage (VSD = 0.6–1.2 V), and gate charge (Qg = 49–64 nC).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low conduction and switching losses in hard-switched 12 V/24 V automotive systems. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.4 V) enables robust TTL/CMOS-level drive compatibility, while the integrated body diode exhibits fast reverse recovery (trr = 80 ns, Qrr = 185 nC) and low forward drop (VSD ≤ 1.2 V at 50 A).
The device operates with a maximum junction temperature of 175 °C and is qualified per AEC-Q101 Rev D. Thermal performance is defined by RthJC = 1.5 K/W and RthJA = 62 K/W (leaded), enabling stable operation under pulsed loads up to ID,pulse = 200 A and avalanche stress up to EAS = 330 mJ at ID = 25 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V - supports 24 V automotive bus with ≥2× voltage margin for load dump transients |
| RDS(on) max | 15.4 mΩ at VGS = 10 V - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 50 A continuous current |
| ID cont | 50 A at TC = 25 °C - suitable for high-current motor phase legs and DC-DC primary switches |
| EAS | 330 mJ - withstands repetitive inductive turn-off energy without failure in relay/snubberless designs |
| Qg | 49–64 nC - determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed in 100 kHz-class converters |

| RthJC | 1.5 K/W - allows direct heatsink mounting for thermal management in space-constrained modules |
Pinout & Package
IPP50N10S3L16AKSA1 uses the PG-TO220-3-1 package: insulated plastic case with three leads, vertical mounting orientation, and integral metal tab for drain connection and thermal transfer. The package complies with JEDEC TO-220AB outline and supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C (MSL1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPP50N10S3-16 | No AEC-Q101 qualification; identical RDS(on), VDS, and package | Not approved for automotive safety-critical systems; suitable for industrial/commercial use only | Select when automotive qualification is not required and cost optimization is prioritized |
| IPB50N10S3L-16 | PG-TO263-3-2 package (D²PAK); same electrical specs and AEC-Q101 grade | Surface-mount assembly; higher thermal resistance (RthJC = 1.6 K/W) than TO220 variant | Choose for automated SMT lines where board space and reflow compatibility outweigh thermal margin |
Compared with IPP50N10S3L16AKSA1, IPP50N10S3-16 lacks automotive qualification but offers identical performance in non-automotive settings, while IPB50N10S3L-16 trades through-hole ease-of-use and lower RthJC for SMT manufacturability - both require layout and thermal redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for IPP50N10S3L16AKSA1?
The absolute maximum gate-source voltage is ±20 V. Operation beyond this range risks permanent oxide damage. Recommended drive is 10 V for full enhancement and minimal RDS(on), with 4.5 V sufficient for logic-level control in low-voltage systems. Gate resistors should limit dV/dt to avoid spurious turn-on during high-di/dt events.
Does IPP50N10S3L16AKSA1 include an integrated body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, it integrates a fast-recovery epitaxial body diode rated for 50 A continuous forward current and 200 A pulsed current. Key parameters include VSD = 0.6–1.2 V at 50 A and 25 °C, trr = 80 ns, and Qrr = 185 nC under specified test conditions (VR = 50 V, di/dt = 100 A/µs). This diode supports synchronous rectification and freewheeling in bridge topologies.
How does the thermal resistance RthJC = 1.5 K/W impact heatsink selection?
With RthJC = 1.5 K/W and a maximum junction temperature of 175 °C, a 100 °C case temperature allows 50 W of power dissipation before thermal limiting. For 50 A continuous operation, a heatsink with RthCS + RthSA ≤ 1.0 K/W is recommended to maintain safe margins under worst-case ambient and airflow conditions.
Is IPP50N10S3L16AKSA1 suitable for use in linear mode (saturation region) applications?
No - this device is optimized for switching operation, not linear mode. Its Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve shows limited DC capability above 10 V VDS; sustained linear operation risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on). It must be operated in saturation only for brief transitions, not steady-state regulation.
