Product details
Overview
IRF530NL from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a through-hole N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET designed for high-current switching in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and power supplies. It delivers 100 V V(BR)DSS, 90 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 9.0 A, 17 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and full avalanche rating up to 340 mJ single-pulse energy - enabling robust operation in inductive load switching.
For engineers reviewing the IRF530NL datasheet, IRF530NL pinout, IRF530NL application, or IRF530NL equivalent, key selection criteria include its TO-262 (I²PAK) package thermal performance (RθJC = 2.15 °C/W), gate charge profile (Qg = 37 nC), body diode recovery characteristics (trr = 93–140 ns), and compatibility with 10 V gate drive in industrial power stages.
Technical Context
This device employs advanced HEXFET® process technology to minimize conduction loss while maintaining fast switching (td(on) = 9.2 ns, tf = 25 ns) and ruggedness against voltage transients. Its fully avalanche-rated structure supports reliable operation under inductive turn-off stress without external snubbers.
The integrated body diode exhibits VSD = 1.3 V at IS = 9.0 A and TJ = 25°C, with reverse recovery charge Qrr = 320–480 nC and di/dt capability up to 410 A/µs - critical for synchronous rectification and H-bridge freewheeling paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | 100 V - Withstands up to 100 V drain-source blocking voltage before breakdown, suitable for 48 V bus and 100 V input systems. |
| RDS(on) | 90 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 9.0 A - Low conduction loss enables <1 W dissipation at 10 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 17 A - Continuous drain current rating at case temperature 25°C, defining maximum steady-state power handling. |
| Qg | 37 nC - Total gate charge determines required gate driver current and switching loss in PWM applications. |
| trr | 93–140 ns - Reverse recovery time of internal body diode, directly impacting efficiency and EMI in hard-switched topologies. |
| EAS | 340 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating confirms safe operation during inductive switching faults without failure. |
| RθJC | 2.15 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables accurate junction temperature estimation using measured case temperature. |
Pinout & Package
IRF530NL uses the TO-262 (I²PAK) through-hole package - a low-profile variant of the D2Pak optimized for PCB-mounted high-current applications where height clearance is constrained. It features a metal tab connected to the drain for direct heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current-carrying terminal, electrically connected to package tab | Must be thermally and electrically connected to heatsink; carries full load current and defines primary heat path. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Serves as common reference for gate control and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical for stability. |
| Gate | Control terminal for channel conduction | Requires clean, low-impedance 10 V drive; sensitive to noise due to high input impedance and 37 nC total charge. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully avalanche rated | 340 mJ single-pulse energy withstand - eliminates need for external clamping in inductive switching circuits. |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 90 mΩ at 10 V gate drive - reduces conduction losses by >30% vs. legacy 100 V MOSFETs in same package. |
| Fast switching speed | td(on) = 9.2 ns, tf = 25 ns - enables >200 kHz operation in SMPS with minimized switching loss. |
| High dv/dt immunity | 7.4 V/ns peak diode recovery dv/dt - suppresses false turn-on in high-noise bridge configurations. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant Pb-free plating - meets global environmental compliance without derating or reliability impact. |
Applications
| DC-DC Buck Converter | Brushed DC Motor Driver |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP16NF10 | 100 V V(BR)DSS, 90 mΩ RDS(on), but Qg = 45 nC and no published EAS rating | Lacks documented avalanche capability; requires external clamping in inductive loads | Select when gate drive strength permits higher Qg and avalanche stress is absent |
| IXTP12N10L | 100 V V(BR)DSS, 120 mΩ RDS(on), Qg = 22 nC, TO-220 package | Higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss; smaller package limits thermal mass and heatsinking area | Select when lower gate drive demand outweighs efficiency loss and thermal constraints allow |
Compared with STP16NF10 and IXTP12N10L, IRF530NL provides superior avalanche ruggedness and lower RDS(on) in a thermally optimized TO-262 package - making it preferred for unclamped inductive switching and high-reliability industrial power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF530NL at 100°C case temperature?
The IRF530NL supports 12 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-262 package and silicon die, requiring proper heatsinking to maintain junction temperature below 175°C under sustained load.
Does IRF530NL require a gate resistor for stable switching?
Yes - a gate resistor (typically 10–25 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate loop inductance interacting with 37 nC total gate charge. Without it, overshoot and oscillation can exceed ±20 V gate rating, risking device failure during fast transitions.
Can IRF530NL replace IRF530 in existing designs?
Yes - IRF530NL is a direct replacement for the legacy IRF530, sharing identical pinout, electrical specs, and TO-262 package. The "NL" suffix denotes lead-free construction and improved manufacturing consistency, with no functional or thermal trade-offs.
What is the typical body diode forward voltage at 9.0 A?
The body diode forward voltage is 1.3 V at TJ = 25°C and IS = 9.0 A with VGS = 0 V. This value increases with junction temperature and decreases slightly at lower currents, directly affecting freewheeling losses in half-bridge and synchronous rectifier configurations.
