Product details
Overview
IRF3315 from Infineon Technologies is a 150 V, 48 A, 21 mΩ N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO-220AB package, designed for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and motor control power stages where low RDS(on) and fast switching reduce conduction and switching losses. It supports continuous drain current up to 48 A at TC = 25 °C and features 100% avalanche-rated ruggedness.
For engineers reviewing the IRF3315 datasheet, IRF3315 pinout, IRF3315 application, or IRF3315 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 V VBR(DSS), 21 mΩ RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V, 100% UIS-tested avalanche capability, gate charge of 97 nC, and thermal resistance RθJC = 0.65 °C/W - all critical for hard-switched industrial power supplies and BLDC motor drives.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology optimized for high-voltage operation with robust short-circuit withstand time (tSC ≥ 10 µs at VDD = 75 V, TJ = 150 °C). Its body diode exhibits low reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 120 nC) and soft recovery behavior, reducing EMI in synchronous rectification topologies.
The device operates with gate threshold voltage VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V and exhibits normalized RDS(on) stability over junction temperature (1.0× at 25 °C, 1.8× at 175 °C), enabling predictable thermal design in high-ambient environments such as industrial motor drives and UPS systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR(DSS) | 150 V - Withstands 150 V drain-to-source breakdown voltage, enabling use in 48 V and 96 V bus systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 21 mΩ - Delivers low conduction loss (Pcond ≈ 0.48 W @ ID = 15 A), critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25 °C) | 48 A - Supports high-current output stages without forced air cooling in standard TO-220 heatsink configurations. |
| QG | 97 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement; enables efficient switching at ≤100 kHz in hard-switched SMPS. |
| EAS | 470 mJ - Fully rated single-pulse avalanche energy ensures reliability during inductive load turn-off transients. |
| RθJC | 0.65 °C/W - Enables accurate junction temperature estimation (ΔTJ = PD × 0.65) for thermal margining in sealed enclosures. |
| Body Diode trr | 110 ns - Fast, soft reverse recovery minimizes voltage overshoot and ringing when used in synchronous buck or LLC freewheeling paths. |
Pinout & Package
IRF3315 is housed in a through-hole TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), featuring three terminals: Source (pin 1), Gate (pin 2), Drain (pin 3 / metal tab). The package provides mechanical robustness and direct heatsinking capability via screw-mount or clip attachment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (left) | Source | Reference node for gate drive; connects to power ground or low-side switch return path. |
| Pin 2 (center) | Gate | High-impedance control input requiring <97 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD. |
| Pin 3 / Tab | Drain | High-voltage power output node; electrically connected to metal tab for direct heatsinking and thermal path to chassis. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% Unclamped Inductive Switching (UIS) tested | Guarantees ruggedness against inductive kickback in relay drivers and solenoid controls without external snubbers. |
| Low gate charge (QG = 97 nC) | Reduces driver IC power dissipation and enables use of cost-effective 1-A gate drivers in high-volume motor inverters. |
| Enhanced body diode softness (Qrr = 120 nC, trr = 110 ns) | Lowers EMI generation and reduces stress on gate drivers during synchronous rectification transitions. |
| TO-220AB with isolated drain tab | Allows mounting to grounded heat sinks without insulating hardware, simplifying thermal management in AC/DC front-ends. |
| Specified RDS(on) over -55 to +175 °C | Enables stable efficiency modeling across automotive under-hood and industrial ambient temperature ranges. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP150N10F7 | 100 V VBR(DSS), 10.5 mΩ RDS(on), 120 A ID, TO-220FP package (non-isolated tab) | Lower voltage rating limits use to ≤48 V systems; higher current rating suits paralleled configurations. | Select only if bus voltage remains ≤80 V and isolation from heatsink is not required. |
| IXTH30N150 | 150 V VBR(DSS), 55 mΩ RDS(on), 30 A ID, TO-247 package, higher QG (140 nC) | Higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss by ~2.6×; TO-247 offers better thermal performance but larger footprint. | Prefer for designs prioritizing long-term reliability over efficiency, especially in high-temperature ambient (>85 °C). |
Compared with STP150N10F7 and IXTH30N150, IRF3315 uniquely balances 150 V rating, 21 mΩ on-resistance, and TO-220AB isolation - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, medium-power industrial converters where voltage margin and heatsink grounding flexibility are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for IRF3315?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175 °C per the official Infineon datasheet. Continuous operation above 150 °C requires derating of ID and careful thermal design using RθJC = 0.65 °C/W and RθJA values dependent on PCB copper area and airflow. Thermal shutdown is not built-in; external monitoring is required for safety-critical systems.
Is IRF3315 suitable for synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters?
Yes - its body diode has soft reverse recovery (trr = 110 ns, Qrr = 120 nC) and low forward voltage (VSD ≈ 1.2 V @ 10 A), enabling efficient synchronous rectification in buck and flyback topologies up to 200 kHz. However, dedicated synchronous rectifier MOSFETs offer lower QG and optimized diode characteristics for >500 kHz operation.
Does IRF3315 have integrated gate protection?
No - IRF3315 lacks integrated Zener clamping or gate resistor. External gate protection (e.g., 12 V Zener between gate and source, series gate resistor ≤10 Ω) is mandatory to prevent VGS overstress from Miller-induced spikes or layout inductance, especially in high-dv/dt applications like motor drives.
Can IRF3315 be paralleled with identical units for higher current capacity?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) ensures inherent current sharing. Use matched gate resistors (±5%), symmetrical PCB layout, and individual source resistors (10–50 mΩ) for dynamic balancing. Derate total current by 15% to account for thermal coupling and parameter spread across lots.
