Product details
Overview
IRF624PBF from Vishay Siliconix is a 250 V, 4.4 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring 1.1 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 14 nC total gate charge, and repetitive avalanche rating up to 4.4 A - used in DC-DC converters, motor drivers, and power supply switching stages.
For engineers reviewing the IRF624PBF datasheet, IRF624PBF pinout, IRF624PBF application, or IRF624PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 250 V VDS, 1.1 Ω on-resistance at 10 V drive, 14 nC Qg, TO-220AB thermal performance (RthJC = 2.5 °C/W), and unclamped inductive switching capability.
Technical Context
This third-generation silicon power MOSFET uses planar V-groove technology optimized for ruggedness and fast switching. Its dynamic dV/dt rating of 4.8 V/ns and 100 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy support reliable operation under transient overvoltage and inductive load conditions.
The device integrates a low-leakage body diode with 200–400 ns reverse recovery time and 0.93–1.9 μC Qrr, enabling efficient freewheeling in hard-switched topologies without external snubbers.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDS | 250 V - supports input voltages up to 200 V DC in offline or industrial SMPS designs |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 1.1 Ω - limits conduction loss to ≤10 W at 3 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 14 nC - enables full turn-on with ≤140 μC gate driver charge budget at 10 V |
| ID @ TC = 25 °C | 4.4 A - delivers ≥22 W output power in TO-220AB with heatsink |
| EAS | 100 mJ - withstands unclamped inductive energy spikes without failure in relay/motor drive |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP2NK25Z | 250 V VDS, 2.5 A ID, 2.5 Ω RDS(on) - lower current rating and higher on-resistance | Not suitable for ≥4 A continuous loads; limited to low-power solenoid or signal switching | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs current capacity and thermal performance requirements |
| IRF630PBF | 200 V VDS, 9 A ID, 0.4 Ω RDS(on) - higher current, lower voltage rating, lower on-resistance | Better for 100–150 V bus applications requiring higher efficiency at >3 A | Choose when system input voltage is ≤170 V DC and lower conduction loss is critical |
Compared with STP2NK25Z and IRF630PBF, the IRF624PBF offers optimal balance of 250 V voltage headroom, 4.4 A current capability, and 1.1 Ω on-resistance - making it uniquely suited for 200 V-class industrial power stages where both breakdown margin and thermal manageability matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF624PBF at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRF624PBF supports 2.8 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, per its absolute maximum ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-220AB package and ensures safe operation within the 150 °C maximum junction temperature limit. Designers must verify heatsink sizing to maintain TC ≤ 100 °C under full-load conditions for the IRF624PBF.
Does IRF624PBF have a built-in body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, the IRF624PBF integrates a monolithic body diode with 1.8 V forward voltage at 4.4 A and 25 °C, 200–400 ns reverse recovery time, and 0.93–1.9 μC reverse recovery charge. These values are measured under standardized conditions (TJ = 25 °C, IF = 4.4 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs) and directly impact freewheeling efficiency in buck or half-bridge circuits using the IRF624PBF.
Is IRF624PBF RoHS-compliant, and what does the 'PbF' suffix indicate?
The IRF624PBF is RoHS-compliant and lead (Pb)-free, as confirmed by Vishay's material categorization documentation. The 'PbF' suffix explicitly denotes lead-free terminations, and the 'BE3' variant (IRF624PbF-BE3) adds halogen-free packaging. Both versions meet EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and are suitable for environmentally regulated industrial and commercial applications using the IRF624PBF.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRF624PBF, and how does it affect drive requirements?
The IRF624PBF has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2.0 V to 4.0 V at ID = 250 μA, confirming it is a standard-threshold MOSFET requiring ≥10 V gate drive for full enhancement. This means the IRF624PBF is not logic-level compatible and must be driven by a dedicated gate driver or level-shifted microcontroller output to achieve specified RDS(on) and switching performance.
Can IRF624PBF be paralleled with identical units, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, the IRF624PBF is designed for ease of paralleling, as stated in its features list. Successful parallel operation requires matched gate resistors, symmetrical PCB layout to minimize loop inductance, and individual source resistors for current balancing. Thermal coupling between devices must also be managed to prevent thermal runaway - all critical for multi-phase or high-current implementations using the IRF624PBF.
