Product details
Overview
IRF3305PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET designed for high-current, low-voltage switching applications. It features 55 V VDSS, 8.0 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 75 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and TO-220AB package with integral body diode. It is used in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and power supply synchronous rectification.
For engineers reviewing the IRF3305PBF datasheet, IRF3305PBF pinout, IRF3305PBF application, or IRF3305PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low on-resistance for conduction loss minimization, avalanche-rated ruggedness for inductive switching, thermal performance under high-current pulsed loads, and gate charge profile for optimized driver design.
Technical Context
This MOSFET operates as a unidirectional voltage-controlled switch in the power path, with gate drive requiring ≥10 V for full enhancement and threshold voltage ranging 2.0–4.0 V. Its internal body diode supports freewheeling in buck or half-bridge topologies, with reverse recovery time of 57–86 ns and Qrr of 130–190 nC.
Thermal management relies on junction-to-case resistance of 0.45 °C/W and case-to-sink resistance of 0.50 °C/W with greased interface. Avalanche capability is characterized by 330 mJ single-pulse energy (thermally limited) and validated repetitive performance up to 470 mJ under defined pulse conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines upper limit for bus voltage in 48 V systems. |
| RDS(on) | 8.0 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Conduction loss of 45 W at 75 A; critical for thermal design in high-current DC-DC stages. |
| ID (cont) | 75 A @ TC = 25°C - Package-limited current rating; derates to 47 A at TC = 100°C per linear derating factor. |
| Qg | 100–150 nC - Total gate charge determines driver power and switching speed; impacts turn-on delay (16 ns) and rise time (88 ns). |
| EAS | 330 mJ (thermally limited) - Energy-handling capacity during unclamped inductive switching; enables robust operation in motor control. |
| VSD | 1.3 V @ IS = 75 A - Forward voltage of integrated body diode; affects freewheeling losses and thermal balance in synchronous rectifiers. |
| Coss | 1230 pF (typ.) - Output capacitance influences hard-switching losses and resonant behavior in ZVS designs. |
Pinout & Package
IRF3305PBF uses the TO-220AB package: insulated tab, vertical lead orientation, and through-hole mounting. The case is electrically connected to the Drain terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main high-side current path | Electrically connected to metal tab; requires isolation washer when mounted to heatsink unless floating design. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Low-impedance connection point for sense resistor placement and gate driver ground reference. |
| Gate | Control input for channel modulation | High-impedance MOS gate; sensitive to ESD and ringing; requires gate resistor (2.6 Ω typical) for controlled switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 8.0 mΩ enables <1 W conduction loss at 35 A, reducing heatsink requirements in 48 V battery systems. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated to 330 mJ single-pulse energy, ensuring reliability in inductive load switching without external snubbers. |
| Optimized gate charge | Qg = 100–150 nC balances fast switching (tr = 88 ns) with manageable driver stress in 100–500 kHz SMPS. |
| Enhanced body diode | Qrr = 130–190 nC and trr = 57–86 ns reduce reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectification and half-bridge freewheeling. |

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 | 55 V VDSS, 8.5 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220FP package (lower PD rating) | Lower power dissipation (60 W vs. 95 W) limits use in sustained 75 A operation | Select if space-constrained layout favors full-pack TO-220FP and peak current <60 A. |
| IXTP75N055T | 55 V VDSS, 7.0 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220 package, higher Qg (170 nC) | Improved conduction loss but slower switching due to higher gate charge | Prefer for ultra-low-loss DC applications where switching frequency <100 kHz. |
Compared with STP75NF55 and IXTP75N055T, IRF3305PBF offers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and proven avalanche ruggedness-making it preferred for 48 V motor drives and high-current DC-DC converters operating at 200–300 kHz.

FAQ
Is IRF3305PBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, IRF3305PBF is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "PbF" suffix in its part number. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and is manufactured using lead-free plating and packaging processes verified by Infineon's material declarations.
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for continuous operation?
The IRF3305PBF has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +175°C and a storage temperature range of –55°C to +175°C. For reliable continuous operation, junction temperature must remain below 175°C, typically achieved with case temperature ≤100°C and proper heatsinking per RθJC = 0.45°C/W.
Can IRF3305PBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, IRF3305PBF supports paralleling due to its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on), which promotes current sharing. Designers must match gate drive impedance, minimize layout asymmetry, and ensure uniform thermal coupling to avoid thermal runaway under high-current conditions.
Does the body diode support continuous bidirectional current flow?
No-the body diode is a parasitic p-n junction optimized for short-duration freewheeling, not continuous reverse conduction. It supports 75 A continuous source current (IS) and 560 A pulsed source current (ISM), but sustained reverse bias or high-frequency reverse recovery stresses require external diode supplementation in ORing or bidirectional switch applications.
