Product details
Overview
IRF3315PBF from Infineon Technologies is a 150 V, 48 A, 12.5 mΩ N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO-220AB package, designed for high-efficiency DC-DC converters, motor drives, and industrial power switching where low RDS(on) and robust avalanche capability are critical. It features 100% UIS-rated avalanche energy (EAS = 170 mJ at TJ = 25°C), 15 V gate drive compatibility, and 175°C maximum junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the IRF3315PBF datasheet, IRF3315PBF pinout, IRF3315PBF application, or IRF3315PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12.5 mΩ RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V, 150 V VDSS, unclamped inductive switching rating, SOA compliance up to 100 µs, and thermal resistance RθJC = 1.0°C/W - all essential for high-current, high-reliability power stage design.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching with controlled Qg (67 nC) and Qgd (29 nC). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) is specified at 2.0–4.0 V, enabling reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V logic-level drivers.
The device supports continuous drain current (ID) of 48 A at TC = 25°C and derates to 31 A at TC = 100°C. Its safe operating area (SOA) is characterized for single-pulse operation up to 100 µs, with RDS(on) normalized to 1.0 at TJ = 25°C and 1.8 at TJ = 175°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 150 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche breakdown; enables use in 48 V and 96 V bus systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 12.5 mΩ - Low on-resistance reduces conduction loss in high-current paths (e.g., 48 A × 12.5 mΩ = 28.8 W dissipation). |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25°C) | 48 A - Sustained current capability with heatsink; defines minimum PCB copper and thermal pad requirements. |
| EAS | 170 mJ - Rated single-pulse avalanche energy; ensures ruggedness against inductive switching transients without external snubbers. |
| Qg | 67 nC - Total gate charge determines driver strength needed; compatible with common gate drivers (e.g., IR2110, UCC27531). |
| RθJC | 1.0°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct mounting to heatsink with minimal thermal interface resistance. |
| TJ(max) | 175°C - Maximum junction temperature; supports operation in sealed enclosures or high ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
IRF3315PBF is housed in a through-hole TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), featuring three terminals: Drain (D), Gate (G), and Source (S). The metal tab is electrically connected to the Drain and must be insulated from chassis unless drain-referenced heatsinking is intended.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main high-side current path output | Electrically tied to metal tab; requires insulation if mounted to grounded heatsink; dominates thermal path to heatsink. |
| Gate | Control input for channel modulation | High-impedance MOS gate; requires low-inductance routing and gate resistor (typically 10–47 Ω) to control dv/dt and ringing. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Common connection point for source resistor sensing and gate driver return; layout must minimize inductance to avoid shoot-through risk. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% UIL-tested avalanche capability | Guarantees robustness under unclamped inductive load switching without derating or external protection. |
| Low gate charge (Qg = 67 nC) | Reduces driver power loss and enables higher PWM frequencies (>100 kHz) with moderate gate drive strength. |
| Enhancement-mode operation | Ensures default-off behavior for fail-safe power control; no pull-down required for safe startup. |
| Fast body diode recovery (trr = 65 ns) | Minimizes reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectification and half-bridge freewheeling paths. |
| RoHS-compliant and halogen-free | Meets industrial and automotive environmental compliance requirements without compromising thermal or electrical performance. |
Applications
| Motor Drive Inverter Stage | Industrial DC-DC Converter Primary Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-current 3-phase BLDC inverter driving 5–10 kW industrial pumps or compressors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power switch in low-side configuration; commutated at 8–20 kHz with dead-time control. Use Value: 12.5 mΩ RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <30 W at 48 A, while 175°C TJ(max) supports compact heatsink design in enclosed cabinets. | Use Scenario: 48 V input, 12 V/100 A isolated forward converter in telecom power shelf. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side synchronous rectifier replacement; operated in hard-switched mode with 100–200 kHz PWM. Use Value: Fast body diode (trr = 65 ns) and low Qgd/Qg ratio reduce switching loss and EMI during zero-voltage transition. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch in full-bridge topology; subjected to repetitive short-circuit and overload events. Use Value: 170 mJ EAS rating and SOA compliance up to 100 µs enable reliable fault handling without crowbar circuitry. | Use Scenario: MPPT-based solar charge controller switching 150 V PV array into 48 V battery bank. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage series pass switch; duty-cycled at 20–50 kHz with variable pulse width. Use Value: 150 V VDSS provides 2× margin over 72 V battery float voltage + PV open-circuit spikes, ensuring long-term reliability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current, high-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP16NF15 | 150 V, 16 A, RDS(on) = 90 mΩ - lower current rating, higher on-resistance | Only suitable for ≤20 A loads; inadequate for same thermal envelope without redesign | Select only when board space or cost constraints outweigh current density needs |
| IXTH50N15L2 | 150 V, 50 A, RDS(on) = 11.5 mΩ - slightly lower RDS(on), TO-247 package | Requires larger footprint and different heatsink interface; higher gate charge (85 nC) | Prefer when thermal budget allows TO-247 and higher peak current margin is required |
Compared with STP16NF15, IRF3315PBF delivers >2× current capacity and <1/7th conduction loss; versus IXTH50N15L2, it offers TO-220AB compatibility with 20% lower gate drive demand but 0.5 A lower ID rating - making it optimal for space-constrained 48 A designs.

FAQ
Is IRF3315PBF suitable for gate-drive voltages below 5 V?
No. The device has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2.0–4.0 V, but full enhancement and guaranteed RDS(on) require VGS ≥ 10 V. At 4.5 V, RDS(on) rises to ~45 mΩ - insufficient for 48 A operation. Use 10–15 V gate drive for rated performance.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for thermal relief with IRF3315PBF?
For continuous 48 A operation at TC = 25°C, a minimum 200 mm² (0.31 in²) 2-oz copper pad connected to an external heatsink is required. Thermal vias (≥8 × 0.3 mm) beneath the tab improve heat transfer; RθJA drops from 62°C/W (no heatsink) to ~12°C/W with 10 cm² aluminum heatsink.
Does IRF3315PBF have integrated gate protection?
No. It lacks built-in gate Zener clamping or ESD protection diodes. External 15 V Zener (e.g., BZX84-C15) between gate and source is recommended to prevent gate oxide damage during hot-plug or transient events, especially in high-noise industrial environments.
Can IRF3315PBF replace IRF3205 in existing designs?
Yes, with caveats: both are TO-220AB N-MOSFETs, but IRF3315PBF has higher VDSS (150 V vs. 55 V) and lower RDS(on) (12.5 mΩ vs. 8.0 mΩ at 10 V), yet higher Qg (67 nC vs. 71 nC). Layout changes may be needed for thermal management due to higher power density, and gate drive timing should be re-verified.
