Product details
Overview
IRF1404ZSPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 40 V, 120 A (package-limited), 2.7 mΩ typ. RDS(on) N-channel D²PAK power MOSFET optimized for high-current DC-DC conversion, motor drive, and UPS systems. It features 175°C junction rating, 710 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, and fast switching with 100 nC total gate charge.
For engineers reviewing the IRF1404ZSPBF datasheet, IRF1404ZSPBF pinout, IRF1404ZSPBF application, or IRF1404ZSPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) at 10 V gate drive, robust repetitive avalanche capability up to Tjmax, and thermal performance in high-power synchronous rectification and hard-switched SMPS designs.
Technical Context
This device employs advanced HEXFET® silicon processing to minimize conduction loss while maintaining ruggedness under unclamped inductive switching. Its 0.75 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and 4.5 nH internal drain inductance support high di/dt operation in 48 V automotive and industrial power stages.
The integrated body diode exhibits 1.3 V forward voltage at 75 A and 28–42 ns reverse recovery time, enabling use in freewheeling and synchronous rectifier roles without external diode supplementation in medium-frequency (<100 kHz) topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBRDSS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines safe operating range in 36–48 V bus applications. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 2.7 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 75 A, critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| ID (package) | 120 A - Continuous current limit set by D²PAK package thermal and bondwire capacity, not silicon. |
| EAS tested | 710 mJ - Verified single-pulse avalanche energy at Tj = 25°C; supports reliable operation during load dump or short-circuit transients. |
| Qg max. | 150 nC - Gate drive energy requirement determines driver sizing and switching loss trade-off at 50–100 kHz. |
| RθJC | 0.75 °C/W - Enables direct heatsink mounting with minimal thermal interface resistance for >90% power dissipation path efficiency. |
| VSD | 1.3 V @ IS = 75 A - Body diode forward drop impacts freewheeling loss and thermal balance in half-bridge configurations. |
Pinout & Package
IRF1404ZSPBF is housed in a surface-mount D²PAK (TO-263) package with three terminals: Drain (tab), Source (pins 1 & 2), and Gate (pin 3). The exposed drain pad provides primary thermal path to PCB copper or heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main high-current output terminal | Electrically and thermally connected to PCB copper pour or heatsink; carries full load current and dissipates >90% of heat. |
| Source (Pins 1 & 2) | Reference node for gate control and current return | Parallel pins reduce source inductance (7.5 nH) and improve stability in high-di/dt switching; connects to power ground plane. |
| Gate (Pin 3) | Control input for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring 10 V drive for full enhancement; sensitive to ringing due to 42 nC Miller charge (Qgd). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 2.7 mΩ typ. at 10 V gate drive enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 75 A, reducing heatsink size in 1–3 kW converters. |
| 175°C junction rating | Allows sustained operation at elevated ambient temperatures (e.g., engine bay, enclosed industrial enclosures) without derating. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Validated for repeated unclamped inductive switching up to Tjmax, eliminating need for external snubbers in relay/motor drive flyback paths. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant D²PAK package meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) for standard SMT assembly. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP120N4F6 | RDS(on) = 3.2 mΩ (higher), Qg = 125 nC (lower), TO-220 package | Limited to lower-current (<80 A) air-cooled designs due to higher thermal resistance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and board space permits through-hole mounting. |
| IXTH120N40L2 | RDS(on) = 2.9 mΩ, 150°C Tj rating, TO-247 package | Requires larger heatsink footprint but offers superior SOA for linear-mode operation | Prefer for analog pass-element or soft-start applications where extended safe operating area matters more than footprint. |
Compared with STP120N4F6 and IXTH120N40L2, IRF1404ZSPBF delivers the lowest RDS(on) in D²PAK form factor and highest avalanche energy per unit volume, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency 48 V power stages where thermal management is via PCB copper rather than discrete heatsinks.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF1404ZSPBF at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 75 A at TC = 100°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal derating from the 120 A (TC = 25°C) package limit and accounts for reduced RDS(on) temperature coefficient and safe operating area constraints.
Can IRF1404ZSPBF be used in avalanche mode repeatedly?
Yes-Infineon explicitly rates IRF1404ZSPBF for repetitive avalanche operation up to Tjmax = 175°C. Figures 15 and 16 in the datasheet provide validated curves for allowable avalanche current versus pulse width and energy versus starting junction temperature under defined test conditions.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for hard-switched 100 kHz operation?
A 3.0 Ω gate resistor is used in the official switching time test circuit (Fig. 18a) and yields measured td(on) = 18 ns, tr = 110 ns, td(off) = 36 ns, and tf = 58 ns. For 100 kHz hard-switching, this value balances switching loss reduction against gate drive strength and EMI control.
Does IRF1404ZSPBF have a built-in body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes-it integrates a robust N-channel MOSFET body diode with VSD = 1.3 V at IS = 75 A, trr = 28–42 ns, and Qrr = 34–51 nC. These values are measured under standardized conditions (TJ = 25°C, IF = 75 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs) and support freewheeling in half-bridge and synchronous rectifier topologies.
