Product details
Overview
IRF5210L from Infineon Technologies is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in D2Pak (TO-262) package, rated for -100 V V(BR)DSS, 60 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, and -38 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It features 150°C maximum junction temperature, fast switching (tr = 63 ns, tf = 55 ns), and rated repetitive avalanche energy (EAR = 120 mJ).
For engineers reviewing the IRF5210L datasheet, IRF5210L pinout, IRF5210L application, or IRF5210L equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) for high-efficiency synchronous rectification, robust body diode (VSD = -1.6 V, trr = 170–260 ns), and thermal performance (RθJC = 0.75 °C/W) in high-power DC-DC and motor control topologies.
Technical Context
This device operates as a high-side or bidirectional switch in hard-switched and resonant power converters. Its gate threshold voltage range (-2.0 V to -4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level gate drivers, while the 150 nC typical total gate charge supports moderate-frequency PWM operation up to ~100 kHz without excessive driver loss.
The integrated body diode exhibits controlled reverse recovery (Qrr = 1180–1770 nC) and dv/dt immunity up to 300 V/ns, enabling use in freewheeling paths where commutation stress is present. Thermal design is anchored by its low junction-to-case resistance (0.75 °C/W), allowing direct heatsink mounting in industrial motor drives and UPS systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | -100 V - Withstands 100 V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche conduction begins. |
| RDS(on) | 60 mΩ max @ VGS = -10 V, TJ = 25°C - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at -38 A, critical for high-current DC-DC output stages. |
| ID (cont) | -38 A @ TC = 25°C - Supports high-power load switching when mounted on adequate heatsink. |
| Qg | 150–230 nC - Determines gate drive power requirement; compatible with common 1–2 A peak gate drivers. |
| tr / tf | 63 ns / 55 ns - Enables efficient switching at 50–100 kHz in SMPS with minimized overlap loss. |
| EAS | 170 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche capability allows safe operation during transient overvoltage events. |
| RθJC | 0.75 °C/W - Enables direct thermal path to heatsink; junction rise is ≤75°C at 100 W dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
IRF5210L uses the D2Pak (TO-262) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The three terminals are arranged in standard S-D-G order (Source–Drain–Gate) on the bottom side of the molded body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current sink terminal | Internally connected to exposed copper pad; must be soldered to large PCB copper pour or heatsink for thermal management. |
| Source (S) | Main current source terminal | Common reference node for gate drive and load return; carries full load current and body diode forward current. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | High-impedance MOS control node; requires negative VGS (-10 V typical) for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 60 mΩ max enables <1.5 W conduction loss at -38 A, reducing thermal burden in high-current switches. |
| 150°C operating junction | Rated for continuous operation up to TJ = 150°C, supporting compact designs in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | 120 mJ EAR allows repeated inductive turn-off energy absorption without degradation-critical in relay/snubberless motor drive circuits. |
| Fast body diode | trr = 170–260 ns and Qrr = 1180–1770 nC support efficient freewheeling in half-bridge and synchronous rectifier configurations. |
Applications
| Motor Drive Inverter Stage | High-Voltage DC-DC Converter |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side P-MOSFET controlling battery charge/discharge path with reverse polarity protection. Use Value: Integrated body diode provides inherent reverse-current blocking; -100 V rating accommodates battery float voltage + surge margin. | Use Scenario: Load disconnect switch protecting 48 V DC distribution bus in factory automation PLC backplanes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Solid-state replacement for mechanical contactor, enabling fast fault isolation and hot-swap capability. Use Value: Repetitive avalanche rating absorbs inductive kickback from solenoid loads; RθJC = 0.75 °C/W supports derating-free operation at 25 A continuous. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel high-voltage power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9540NPbF | RDS(on) = 200 mΩ @ VGS = -10 V; lower ID (−23 A); TO-220 package | Limited to ≤15 A continuous in PCB-mount applications due to higher RθJA | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency needs and thermal budget permits higher conduction loss. |
| STP100P3LLH6 | RDS(on) = 12.5 mΩ @ VGS = -10 V; higher ID (−100 A); TO-220FP package; 40 V V(BR)DSS | Not suitable for ≥80 V systems; superior for 24–48 V high-current battery switches | Choose only for low-voltage, ultra-high-current applications where 100 V rating is unnecessary. |
Compared with IRF9540NPbF and STP100P3LLH6, the IRF5210L uniquely balances -100 V rating, 60 mΩ RDS(on), and D2Pak thermal performance-making it optimal for 48–96 V industrial power stages requiring both voltage headroom and conduction efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe gate-to-source voltage for IRF5210L?
The absolute maximum VGS rating is ±20 V. Operation beyond ±15 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable enhancement, apply -10 V to ensure full RDS(on) conduction; -5.5 V is the minimum recommended for guaranteed turn-on across temperature and process variation.
Can IRF5210L be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its negative temperature coefficient of RDS(on) supports current sharing. However, individual gate resistors (≥10 Ω) and matched layout parasitics are required to prevent oscillation and uneven dynamic current division during switching transitions.
Does IRF5210L have avalanche ruggedness for inductive load switching?
Yes-it is explicitly rated for repetitive avalanche energy (EAR = 120 mJ) and single-pulse avalanche (EAS = 170 mJ). This enables safe operation during inductive turn-off without external snubbers in motor drive and solenoid control applications.
How does the D2Pak package affect thermal design compared to TO-220?
The D2Pak's exposed drain pad offers significantly lower RθJC (0.75 °C/W vs. ~1.5 °C/W for TO-220), enabling ~2× higher power dissipation at the same case temperature. It requires full-solder coverage of the pad to a thermal plane or heatsink for rated performance.
