Product details
Overview
IRF624L from Vishay Siliconix is a 250 V, 4.4 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for switching power supplies, motor controls, and DC-DC converters with fast switching, repetitive avalanche rating, and low RDS(on) of 1.1 Ω at VGS = 10 V.
For engineers reviewing the IRF624L datasheet, IRF624L pinout, IRF624L application, or IRF624L equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance values (RthJC = 2.5 °C/W), gate charge metrics (Qg = 14 nC), avalanche energy ratings (EAS = 100 mJ), and TO-220AB mechanical interface details - all confirmed from Vishay's official S21-0819-Rev. C datasheet.
Technical Context
This third-generation power MOSFET uses planar V-groove silicon technology to achieve ruggedized avalanche performance and stable RDS(on) over temperature (ΔVDS/TJ = 0.36 V/°C). Its dynamic dV/dt rating of 4.8 V/ns supports reliable operation in noisy high-speed switching environments.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 200–400 ns, Qrr = 0.93–1.9 μC) and features low internal inductance (LD = 4.5 nH, LS = 7.5 nH), enabling clean turn-on/turn-off waveforms under hard-switching conditions with Rg = 18 Ω.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 250 V - supports input voltages up to 200 V DC in offline SMPS designs without derating |
| RDS(on) | 1.1 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - limits conduction loss to ≤10 W at 3 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 14 nC - enables efficient gate drive with standard 1-A peak drivers at ≤500 kHz switching |
| EAS | 100 mJ - sustains unclamped inductive switching events in relay/motor driver snubberless topologies |
| tr/tf | 13 ns / 12 ns - reduces switching transition losses and EMI generation in high-frequency converters |
| RthJC | 2.5 °C/W - allows ≥40 W dissipation with modest heatsinking (e.g., 10 cm² aluminum fin) |
| ID (TC = 100 °C) | 2.8 A - defines usable current limit in enclosed industrial enclosures without forced air |
Pinout & Package
IRF624L is housed in a through-hole TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standardized lead spacing (2.54 mm), and 1.6 mm creepage distance from case. The package provides low thermal resistance (RthJC = 2.5 °C/W) and mechanical robustness for industrial mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | Accepts 10 V logic-level drive; input capacitance Ciss = 260 pF shapes gate resistor selection |
| D (Drain) | High-side power terminal | Internally connected to metal tab; requires insulated mounting when heatsink is grounded |
| S (Source) | Reference node / return path | Common return for load current and gate drive reference; source inductance LS = 7.5 nH impacts switching ringing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Supports 4.4 A repetitive IAR and 5.0 mJ EAR, enabling robust operation in inductive load switching without external clamping |
| Dynamic dV/dt immunity | Rated 4.8 V/ns - prevents false turn-on during high-slew-rate transients in half-bridge configurations |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 200–400 ns with Qrr = 0.93–1.9 μC - minimizes cross-conduction loss in synchronous rectifier and freewheeling applications |
| Low gate charge | Qg = 14 nC with Qgd/Qgs = 2.9 - improves Miller immunity and enables stable paralleling of multiple devices |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply | Motor Drive Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 20–50 W offline flyback converter operating at 65–132 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage power switch controlling energy transfer via transformer primary winding. Use Value: 250 V VDS margin accommodates reflected output voltage + leakage spike; RDS(on) = 1.1 Ω keeps conduction loss <1.5 W at full load. | Use Scenario: Low-side switch driving brushed DC motor (24–48 V, 2–4 A) in industrial actuator. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PWM-controlled power stage delivering variable torque via duty-cycle modulation. Use Value: Repetitive avalanche rating handles back-EMF spikes during abrupt stop; tr/tf < 15 ns ensures clean PWM edges at 20 kHz. |
| DC-DC Converter | Lighting Ballast |
Use Scenario: High-side switch in non-isolated buck converter for 12 V → 5 V/3 A point-of-load regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power transistor regulating output voltage via pulse-width control. Use Value: Qg = 14 nC enables efficient drive from microcontroller GPIO with 10 Ω series resistor; Coss = 77 pF minimizes capacitive switching loss. | Use Scenario: Resonant switch in electronic CFL ballast operating at 30–60 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zero-voltage switching (ZVS) transistor in half-bridge resonant tank. Use Value: Body diode Qrr = 1.9 μC ensures soft commutation; dV/dt = 4.8 V/ns prevents spurious turn-on during resonant voltage reversal. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP2NK60Z | 600 V VDS, 1.8 Ω RDS(on), TO-220FP package (lower PD = 20 W) | Higher voltage margin but higher on-resistance and lower power handling; unsuitable for >2.5 A continuous loads | Select only if system requires >400 V blocking with reduced thermal budget |
| IRF630 | 200 V VDS, 0.4 Ω RDS(on), same TO-220AB package and pinout | Lower voltage rating limits use to ≤160 V DC bus; superior conduction efficiency below 200 V | Prefer for 100–180 V applications where lower RDS(on) outweighs reduced avalanche margin |
Compared with STP2NK60Z and IRF630, IRF624L uniquely balances 250 V capability, 1.1 Ω on-resistance, and 100 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - making it optimal for 200 V-class industrial SMPS and motor drives requiring both voltage headroom and ruggedness.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF624L at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRF624L supports a continuous drain current of 2.8 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects linear derating from 4.4 A at 25 °C using the 0.40 W/°C factor, and must be validated against actual board-level thermal performance in the target application layout.
Does IRF624L have a fully rated avalanche capability, and what are its limits?
Yes, IRF624L is repetitively avalanche rated: IAR = 4.4 A and EAR = 5.0 mJ under specified test conditions (VDD = 50 V, L = 8.3 mH, Rg = 25 Ω). Single-pulse avalanche energy reaches 100 mJ. These ratings assume junction temperature remains within -55 °C to +150 °C and pulse width is limited by thermal constraints per Figure 11.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRF624L, and how does it affect drive design?
The IRF624L has a gate-source threshold voltage VGS(th) ranging from 2.0 V to 4.0 V at ID = 250 µA. This wide range necessitates gate drive ≥10 V for full enhancement and low RDS(on); logic-level drivers (e.g., 5 V) will yield significantly higher on-resistance and must be avoided unless verified via characterization at worst-case VGS(th).
Can IRF624L be paralleled with identical units, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, IRF624L is designed for ease of paralleling due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) and low Qgd/Qgs ratio (2.9). To ensure current sharing, use matched gate resistors (≤5 Ω), symmetrical PCB layout, common source star grounding, and individual gate drive paths - especially critical above 5 A total current.
What is the body diode forward voltage of IRF624L, and how does it impact freewheeling operation?
The IRF624L body diode exhibits VSD = 1.8 V max at IS = 4.4 A and TJ = 25 °C. In freewheeling applications, this forward drop contributes directly to conduction loss; combined with trr = 200–400 ns and Qrr = 0.93–1.9 μC, it determines reverse recovery loss and potential shoot-through risk in synchronous topologies.
