Product details
Overview
IRF1607PBF from Infineon Technologies is a 75 V, 142 A (TC = 25°C), ultra-low RDS(on) (0.0058 Ω typ.) N-channel HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-current DC-DC converters and industrial motor drives requiring fast switching, 175°C junction operation, and robust unclamped inductive switching capability.
For engineers reviewing the IRF1607PBF datasheet, IRF1607PBF pinout, IRF1607PBF application, or IRF1607PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1250 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy rating, 5.2 V/ns diode recovery dv/dt tolerance, 210 nC total gate charge, and validated repetitive avalanche performance up to TJmax.
Technical Context
This planar stripe HEXFET device uses advanced silicon processing to achieve 0.0058 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 85 A, with thermal resistance RθJC = 0.40 °C/W enabling high-power density mounting. Its body diode exhibits 1.3 V forward voltage at 85 A and 25°C, with 130 ns typical reverse recovery time.
The MOSFET supports unclamped inductive switching across full temperature range (−55°C to +175°C), with avalanche current IAS rated to 85 A and EAS = 1250 mJ (single pulse). Gate threshold voltage VGS(th) is 2.0–4.0 V, ensuring reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 75 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines safe operating voltage ceiling in buck, half-bridge, and motor phase-leg topologies. |
| RDS(on) (typ) | 0.0058 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 85 A - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 100 A, critical for high-efficiency 12–48 V power stages. |
| ID (25°C) | 142 A - Continuous drain current limited by package thermal capacity; usable in high-current industrial inverters with heatsinking. |
| EAS | 1250 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy; allows safe operation during inductive turn-off transients without snubbers in motor drive H-bridges. |
| Qg | 210 nC (typ) - Total gate charge determines driver strength requirement; compatible with common 2–4 A peak gate drivers. |
| dv/dt (diode) | 5.2 V/ns - Maximum diode recovery dv/dt rating; ensures immunity to false turn-on during fast commutation in hard-switched topologies. |
| TJ max | +175°C - Extended junction temperature enables operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard 3-lead through-hole mounting. Thermal pad on backside requires mechanical clamping and thermal interface material for optimal heat transfer to heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output / heat sink interface | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be insulated from chassis unless referenced to system ground; primary thermal path. |
| Source | Power return / reference node for gate drive | Serves as common return for load current and gate driver reference; low-inductance layout essential for switching stability. |
| Gate | Control input for channel conduction | High-impedance MOS control terminal; requires low-impedance gate driver and RC snubber to suppress ringing during fast transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 0.0058 Ω typ. at 10 V drive - Reduces conduction losses by >30% vs. legacy 75 V MOSFETs, directly improving efficiency in 48 V telecom and server PSUs. |
| 175°C junction rating | Rated continuous operation up to +175°C - Eliminates derating in high-ambient motor control cabinets and enables smaller heatsinks. |
| Repetitive avalanche capability | Validated up to TJmax per Fig. 15/16 - Permits reliable unclamped inductive switching in brushless DC motor phases without external protection. |
| Fast body diode | trr = 130 ns, Qrr = 690 nC - Minimizes reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectification and freewheeling paths of LLC resonant converters. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant Pb-free plating and solderable finish - Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) for standard reflow assembly. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive | DC-DC Converter |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP140N75F7 | RDS(on) = 0.0048 Ω (lower), Qg = 170 nC (lower), but VDSS = 75 V same; TO-220FP package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA) | Better efficiency at light loads due to lower Qg, but reduced thermal headroom in sustained high-current operation | Select when gate drive loss dominates and heatsink area is constrained; verify case temperature does not exceed 150°C under full load. |
| IXTH120N75L2 | RDS(on) = 0.0062 Ω (slightly higher), EAS = 1000 mJ (lower), but offers enhanced dv/dt immunity (7.5 V/ns) and improved SOA in linear mode | Superior ruggedness in linear-regulation or analog pass-element use cases; less margin for unclamped inductive energy | Prefer for welding or battery-charger applications where precise current regulation precedes switching; avoid in high-EAS-demand motor phase legs. |
Compared with STP140N75F7 and IXTH120N75L2, IRF1607PBF delivers the highest balance of avalanche energy, thermal robustness, and proven industrial field reliability-making it preferred for mission-critical motor drives where transient overloads are routine.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The IRF1607PBF supports 100 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-220AB package and silicon, not electrical degradation; actual usable current depends on heatsink thermal resistance and ambient conditions.
Is the IRF1607PBF suitable for synchronous rectification in a 48 V to 12 V buck converter?
Yes-the device's 1.3 V body diode forward voltage at 85 A and 130 ns reverse recovery time make it viable for low-frequency synchronous rectification. However, its 210 nC gate charge increases driver loss; for >200 kHz operation, a dedicated low-Qg trench MOSFET is recommended.
Does the IRF1607PBF require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes-a series gate resistor (typically 5–22 Ω) is required to dampen parasitic oscillation caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 310 pF) and PCB inductance. Without it, ringing can exceed ±20 V gate rating and cause erratic switching or device failure.
Can the IRF1607PBF replace the IRF1404 in an existing motor drive design?
Yes-with caveats: both are 75 V TO-220 N-MOSFETs, but IRF1607PBF has 35% lower RDS(on) (0.0058 Ω vs. 0.0044 Ω) and higher avalanche rating (1250 mJ vs. 750 mJ). Verify gate drive capability handles 210 nC Qg (vs. 190 nC), and confirm heatsink can manage increased power density.
