Product details
Overview
IRF530PBF-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 100 V, 14 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.16 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 26 nC total gate charge, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature - designed for DC-DC converters, motor drives, and power switching circuits requiring rugged avalanche capability and fast switching.
For engineers reviewing the IRF530PBF-BE3 datasheet, IRF530PBF-BE3 pinout, IRF530PBF-BE3 application, or IRF530PBF-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its repetitive avalanche rating (14 A), peak diode recovery dV/dt (5.5 V/ns), and thermal resistance (RthJC = 1.7 °C/W), critical for high-reliability industrial power stage design.
Technical Context
This third-generation planar VDMOS device uses silicon technology optimized for low conduction loss and robust unclamped inductive switching. Its gate threshold voltage (2.0–4.0 V) enables standard 10 V logic-level drive, while dynamic parameters - including Qgd/Qg ratio of ~42% - support stable hard-switching operation up to 100 kHz in buck and half-bridge topologies.
The integrated body diode exhibits trr = 150–280 ns and Qrr = 0.85–1.7 μC at IF = 14 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs, making it suitable for freewheeling in non-synchronous converters where reverse recovery behavior directly impacts efficiency and EMI.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V - supports input voltages up to 80 V DC with 20% safety margin in industrial power supplies |
| RDS(on) | 0.16 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - yields ≤1.8 W conduction loss at 14 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 26 nC - determines gate drive power requirement (~130 mW at 100 kHz, VGS swing = 10 V) |
| EAS | 69 mJ - enables reliable operation under unclamped inductive load transients without external snubbers |
| tr/tf | 34 ns / 24 ns - supports efficient hard-switching in 50–100 kHz SMPS designs with minimal switching loss |
| TJ max | +175 °C - allows full-rated current derating down to TC = 100 °C (10 A), enabling compact heatsink solutions |
| dV/dt rating | 5.5 V/ns - ensures immunity to false turn-on during high-speed commutation in noisy motor control environments |
Pinout & Package
IRF530PBF-BE3 is housed in a through-hole TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), offering low thermal resistance (RthJC = 1.7 °C/W) and mechanical robustness for industrial mounting. The package includes three leads: Gate (G), Drain (D), and Source (S), with standardized lead spacing and coplanarity compliant with JEDEC TO-220 outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate control terminal | Receives voltage-controlled signal to modulate channel conductivity; requires ≤±20 V rating and low-impedance drive due to 26 nC Qg |
| D | Drain connection (tab) | High-side power node; electrically connected to metal tab - must be insulated from heatsink unless referenced to same potential |
| S | Source reference terminal | Return path for load current and gate drive return; forms common reference for VGS control loop and body diode cathode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Repetitive avalanche rated | 14 A IAR, 8.8 mJ EAR - eliminates need for external clamping in inductive load switching (e.g., solenoid drivers) |
| Dynamic dV/dt immunity | 5.5 V/ns - prevents spurious turn-on during fast voltage transients in half-bridge configurations |
| Fast switching performance | tr = 34 ns, tf = 24 ns - reduces transition losses in 50–100 kHz power converters |
| Low gate charge | Qg = 26 nC - enables use of low-cost, low-power gate drivers (e.g., TC4420, UCC3732x) |
| 175 °C operation | Full-rated current available up to TC = 100 °C - supports high-ambient applications like enclosed motor drives |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP14NF10 | 100 V, 14 A, RDS(on) = 0.18 Ω, Qg = 22 nC, TO-220 | Slightly higher on-resistance but lower gate charge; no specified repetitive avalanche rating | Preferred where gate drive power is constrained and avalanche stress is minimal |
| IXTP12N10P | 100 V, 12 A, RDS(on) = 0.15 Ω, Qg = 20 nC, TO-220 | Lower current rating but superior RDS(on); avalanche energy not characterized per datasheet | Selected for space-constrained designs needing lowest possible conduction loss below 12 A |
Compared with STP14NF10 and IXTP12N10P, IRF530PBF-BE3 provides verified repetitive avalanche capability and higher continuous current (14 A at TC = 25 °C), making it more suitable for inductive load switching where transient energy absorption is required without external protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF530PBF-BE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRF530PBF-BE3 supports 10 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, per its linear derating factor of 0.59 W/°C and PD = 88 W at TC = 25 °C. This rating ensures sustained operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed motor controllers or high-ambient industrial power supplies, provided adequate heatsinking maintains case temperature within specification.
Does IRF530PBF-BE3 have a RoHS-compliant and halogen-free construction?
Yes, IRF530PBF-BE3 is explicitly designated as lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free per Vishay's ordering nomenclature. The "-BE3" suffix confirms compliance with both RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free standards (IEC 61249-2-21), verified in the official datasheet S21-0819-Rev. C. This makes IRF530PBF-BE3 suitable for environmentally regulated industrial and consumer equipment.
What is the typical body diode reverse recovery time (trr) of IRF530PBF-BE3?
The IRF530PBF-BE3 exhibits a typical body diode reverse recovery time (trr) of 150 ns, with a maximum of 280 ns under test conditions of IF = 14 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs, and TJ = 25 °C. This parameter is critical when using the device in non-synchronous buck or flyback topologies where the body diode conducts freewheeling current, directly influencing switching loss and EMI generation.
Can IRF530PBF-BE3 be paralleled with identical units for higher current handling?
Yes, IRF530PBF-BE3 is designed for ease of paralleling, as confirmed in its official features list. Its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) promotes current sharing across multiple devices, and low gate charge (26 nC) simplifies matched gate drive layout. For stable operation, ensure symmetrical PCB routing, individual gate resistors (≤10 Ω), and thermal coupling via shared heatsink to maintain uniform junction temperatures.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for IRF530PBF-BE3?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for IRF530PBF-BE3 is specified from 2.0 V to 4.0 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This range indicates compatibility with standard 5 V and 10 V logic-level gate drivers, though full enhancement (RDS(on) ≤ 0.16 Ω) requires VGS ≥ 10 V. Designers should verify gate drive voltage margins to avoid partial turn-on and excessive conduction loss.
