Product details
Overview
IRF620PBF-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 200 V, 5.2 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.80 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 14 nC total gate charge, and repetitive avalanche rating-designed for switch-mode power supplies, DC-DC converters, and motor control circuits requiring rugged, cost-effective high-voltage switching.
For engineers reviewing the IRF620PBF-BE3 datasheet, IRF620PBF-BE3 pinout, IRF620PBF-BE3 application, or IRF620PBF-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V VDS, 5.2 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, 2.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and lead-free/halogen-free compliance per ordering code IRF620PBF-BE3.
Technical Context
This third-generation power MOSFET employs planar V-groove technology to achieve low on-resistance with robust avalanche capability. Its dynamic dv/dt rating of 5.0 V/ns and 110 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy support reliable operation in inductive switching environments.
The device integrates an intrinsic body diode with 150–300 ns reverse recovery time and 0.91–1.8 μC Qrr, enabling moderate-frequency hard-switched topologies. Gate drive simplicity is ensured by a 2.0–4.0 V threshold voltage and low 0.8–3.5 Ω gate input resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 200 V - supports primary-side switching in offline SMPS up to 170 V AC mains with margin |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.80 Ω - limits conduction loss to ≤2.0 W at 5.2 A, enabling TO-220AB thermal handling without forced cooling |
| Qg | 14 nC - determines gate driver current requirement (~1.4 A peak for 10 ns rise time) |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25 °C) | 5.2 A - defines maximum steady-state load current with case heatsinking |
| EAS | 110 mJ - enables unclamped inductive switching survival in relay drivers or solenoid controls |
| TJ range | −55 to +150 °C - qualifies for industrial ambient and internal temperature excursions in enclosed power modules |
Pinout & Package
IRF620PBF-BE3 uses the industry-standard TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), offering low 2.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and compatibility with widely available mechanical mounting hardware (6-32 or M3 screw, 10 lbf·in torque).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | Accepts 10 V logic-level drive; 2.0–4.0 V VGS(th) ensures turn-on with standard microcontroller GPIO or dedicated gate drivers |
| D (Drain) | High-side power terminal | Internally connected to metal tab; requires electrical isolation when mounted to heatsink unless system ground reference permits |
| S (Source) | Power return / reference node | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; source inductance (7.5 nH) impacts switching waveform ringing in high-di/dt applications |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Repetitive avalanche rated | 5.2 A IAR, 5.0 mJ EAR - enables reliable operation under transient overloads without derating in UPS or battery protection circuits |
| Fast switching | 7.2 ns td(on), 22 ns tr, 19 ns td(off), 13 ns tf - supports 100–500 kHz switching frequencies in compact DC-DC designs |
| Dynamic dv/dt immunity | 5.0 V/ns - suppresses false turn-on during high-speed voltage transients in half-bridge configurations |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 7.9/14 = 0.56 - improves Miller immunity and reduces risk of shoot-through in synchronous rectifiers |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply | DC Motor Drive |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary-side switching transistor in 30–60 W offline flyback converter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage N-channel power switch controlling energy transfer from AC line to transformer primary. Use Value: 200 V VDS and 110 mJ EAS withstand reflected output voltage spikes and transformer leakage inductance energy. | Use Scenario: H-bridge low-side switch for 24 V brushed DC motor (≤100 W). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous power switch managing bidirectional current flow and PWM speed control. Use Value: 0.80 Ω RDS(on) minimizes I²R losses at 5 A stall current; 5.2 A continuous rating supports intermittent peak loads. |
| LED Driver | Industrial Relay/Solenoid Control |
Use Scenario: Constant-current buck controller for high-brightness LED strings (36–48 V bus). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch regulating average LED current via high-frequency PWM.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unclamped inductive switching element absorbing stored coil energy via avalanche mode. Use Value: Repetitive avalanche rating (5.2 A, 5.0 mJ) eliminates need for external flyback diodes in space-constrained PLC I/O modules. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP20NM20 | 200 V VDS, 20 A ID, 0.12 Ω RDS(on), TO-220FP package (lower PD = 30 W) | Higher current, lower RDS(on), but reduced power dissipation margin due to smaller package | Select when higher efficiency at >3 A is critical and thermal design accommodates lower PD |
| FQP20N20 | 200 V VDS, 20 A ID, 0.13 Ω RDS(on), TO-220 package, no avalanche rating specified | Higher current and lower on-resistance, but lacks documented repetitive avalanche capability | Select for non-inductive, low-stress switching where avalanche robustness is not required |
Compared with STP20NM20 and FQP20N20, IRF620PBF-BE3 trades higher RDS(on) for proven repetitive avalanche performance and full 50 W power dissipation in TO-220AB-making it preferable for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained, or inductive-load applications where reliability under transient stress is essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF620PBF-BE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRF620PBF-BE3 supports 3.3 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, derived from its 5.2 A rating at 25 °C and linear derating factor of 0.40 W/°C. This reflects thermal limitation of the TO-220AB package rather than silicon capability-designers must ensure heatsink interface resistance and ambient conditions maintain TC ≤ 100 °C for sustained 3.3 A operation.
Does IRF620PBF-BE3 have a specified body diode reverse recovery time?
Yes, IRF620PBF-BE3 specifies a body diode reverse recovery time (trr) of 150–300 ns at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 4.8 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. This parameter is critical for synchronous rectification and freewheeling paths; designers should account for associated Qrr (0.91–1.8 μC) in loss calculations and layout to minimize ringing.
Is IRF620PBF-BE3 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, IRF620PBF-BE3 is both RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, as indicated by the "-BE3" suffix in the ordering code. This designation confirms lead-free terminations and absence of brominated flame retardants, satisfying IPC-1752A material declaration requirements for environmentally regulated electronics manufacturing.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for IRF620PBF-BE3?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for IRF620PBF-BE3 is specified from 2.0 V to 4.0 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This range ensures consistent turn-on behavior across process variation and temperature, supporting reliable operation with 5 V TTL or 3.3 V CMOS gate drivers when combined with appropriate gate resistor selection.
Can IRF620PBF-BE3 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, IRF620PBF-BE3 is designed for ease of paralleling, as confirmed by Vishay's datasheet features. Its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient promotes current sharing, and low gate input resistance (0.8–3.5 Ω) simplifies matched gate drive layout-critical for high-current inverters or redundant power stages where multiple IRF620PBF-BE3 units share load.
