Product details
Overview
IRF1405Z from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-262 (I²PAK) package, rated for 55V VDSS, 4.9mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, and 75A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It features 175°C junction temperature rating, fast switching (tr = 110ns, tf = 82ns), and tested repetitive avalanche capability up to IAS = 75A - designed for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and automotive power distribution modules.
For engineers reviewing the IRF1405Z datasheet, IRF1405Z pinout, IRF1405Z application, or IRF1405Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its low conduction loss at high current, thermal robustness under transient overload, body diode recovery performance (trr = 30–46ns, Qrr = 30–45nC), and validated avalanche energy (EAS = 150mJ, tested).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced silicon processing to minimize on-resistance per die area while maintaining ruggedness. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 120–180nC, Qgd = 46nC) supports efficient hard-switching in synchronous buck topologies with moderate gate drive strength.
The integral body diode exhibits low forward voltage (VSD ≤ 1.3V at 75A) and tightly controlled reverse recovery (Qrr, trr), enabling reliable operation in freewheeling paths without external Schottky supplementation in 12V/24V automotive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 55V - Maximum blocking voltage in automotive 42V nominal or 24V battery-supplied systems with load dump margin. |
| RDS(on) | 4.9mΩ max @ VGS = 10V - Enables <1.2W conduction loss at 75A, reducing heatsink requirements in space-constrained modules. |
| ID (continuous) | 75A @ TC = 25°C - Sustains peak motor drive or solenoid current without derating in forced-air-cooled enclosures. |
| TJ max | 175°C - Supports operation in under-hood environments where ambient exceeds 105°C and thermal transients occur. |
| EAS | 150mJ (tested) - Withstands unclamped inductive switching events in relay drivers or actuator control without failure. |
| tr/tf | 110ns / 82ns - Limits switching losses to <1.8mJ per transition at 100kHz, enabling >95% efficiency in high-frequency SMPS. |
| Qrr | 30–45nC - Reduces diode-induced shoot-through risk and EMI during commutation in half-bridge configurations. |
Pinout & Package
IRF1405Z uses a 3-pin TO-262 (I²PAK) package with isolated tab. The case is electrically connected to the Drain terminal, requiring insulating mounting hardware when mounted to grounded heatsinks.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path from source to load | High-current output node; thermally coupled to heatsink; must be insulated if heatsink is grounded. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-side return path; used for current-sense resistor placement and gate driver reference. |
| Gate | Control input for channel conduction | High-impedance MOS control terminal; requires 10V drive for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 4.9mΩ enables <1.2W conduction loss at 75A, minimizing thermal design burden in high-current automotive modules. |
| 175°C junction rating | Allows sustained operation in under-hood environments where ambient reaches 105°C and transient spikes exceed 150°C. |
| Tested repetitive avalanche | Validated to 75A IAS and 150mJ EAS, supporting robustness against inductive kickback in solenoid and motor control. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 30–46ns and Qrr = 30–45nC reduce switching noise and cross-conduction risk in synchronous rectification. |
Applications
| Automotive DC-DC Converters | Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Stages |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Step-down conversion from 24V battery to 5V/3.3V logic rails in commercial vehicle ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side synchronous rectifier switch operating at 200–500kHz with tight duty-cycle control. Use Value: 4.9mΩ RDS(on) reduces conduction loss by 35% vs. legacy 7.5mΩ MOSFETs, improving thermal margin at 75A peak load. | Use Scenario: Driving fuel injector solenoids and ignition coils in gasoline/diesel engine management systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch controlling inductive loads with fast turn-off to limit back-EMF stress. Use Value: 175°C TJ rating and 150mJ EAS ensure reliability during repeated 75A inductive turn-off events at elevated under-hood temperatures. |
| 12V/24V Battery Protection Circuits | Industrial Motor Starter Modules |
Use Scenario: Reverse polarity and overcurrent protection in auxiliary power distribution units (PDUs) for off-highway equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional current-sensing switch using integrated body diode for reverse-current blocking. Use Value: Low VSD (≤1.3V) minimizes forward drop during reverse-battery fault, limiting power dissipation to <100W at 75A. | Use Scenario: Soft-start and stall-protection switching in 3-phase BLDC motor controllers for HVAC blowers and pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Phase-leg low-side switch handling 75A continuous and 600A pulsed current during startup surges. Use Value: Repetitive avalanche rating allows safe clamping of 600A surge currents without external snubbers, simplifying PCB layout. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP75NF55 | 55V VDSS, 6.5mΩ RDS(on), TO-220 package, no avalanche rating specified | Lacks validated repetitive avalanche testing; higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss by ~33% at 75A | Acceptable for non-critical 24V industrial loads where thermal margin exists and inductive transients are suppressed externally. |
| IXTH75N10L2 | 100V VDSS, 8.5mΩ RDS(on), TO-247 package, 175°C rating, avalanche-rated | Higher voltage rating adds cost and capacitance; slower switching (tr = 150ns) increases switching loss | Preferred only when system-level voltage transients exceed 55V or when TO-247 mechanical retention is required. |
Compared with STP75NF55 and IXTH75N10L2, IRF1405Z delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), proven avalanche ruggedness, and TO-262 thermal interface - making it the preferred choice for automotive-grade 24V power stages where efficiency, reliability, and package compatibility are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-source voltage rating for IRF1405Z?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20V. Operation beyond ±20V risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is +10V to fully enhance the channel with margin, and –5V to –10V for fast turn-off in high-noise environments. Gate drive circuits must include clamping (e.g., Zener diodes) to prevent overshoot during switching transients.
Does IRF1405Z require a heatsink in typical automotive applications?
Yes - even at 75A continuous current, junction-to-case thermal resistance is 0.65°C/W. With 1.2W conduction loss and 25°C ambient, a heatsink with ≤15°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance is required to maintain TJ ≤ 175°C. Mounting to a 100cm² aluminum plate with thermal grease achieves ~12°C/W, satisfying this requirement.
How does the body diode performance compare to discrete Schottky diodes?
The integrated body diode has VSD ≤ 1.3V at 75A and trr = 30–46ns - higher forward drop than 0.5V Schottkys but lower reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 30–45nC) than many fast recovery diodes. It eliminates component count and layout complexity in freewheeling paths where moderate efficiency is acceptable.
Is IRF1405Z compliant with AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
Yes - IRF1405Z is AEC-Q101 qualified per manufacturer documentation (Infineon datasheet PD-94645A Rev. C). Qualification includes HTOL, temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing to ensure reliability in automotive under-hood environments with junction temperatures up to 175°C.
