Product details
Overview
IRF624PBF-BE3 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-designed for mid-power switching in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRF624PBF-BE3 datasheet, IRF624PBF-BE3 pinout, IRF624PBF-BE3 application, or IRF624PBF-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 250 V VDS, 4.4 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, 2.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and RoHS-compliant/halogen-free construction per ordering code BE3.
Technical Context
This third-generation power MOSFET uses planar V-groove technology to achieve low on-resistance with ruggedized avalanche capability. Its dynamic dV/dt rating of 4.8 V/ns and 100 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy support reliable operation under inductive switching stress.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 200–400 ns, Qrr = 0.93–1.9 μC) and exhibits low gate input resistance (0.7–5.4 Ω), enabling simple drive requirements and ease of paralleling without external gate resistors in many configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 250 V - supports 200 V bus designs with 25 % voltage margin for transients |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 1.1 Ω - enables <4.4 A continuous conduction with ≤2.7 W conduction loss at TC = 25 °C |
| Qg | 14 nC - determines gate drive power requirement; compatible with standard 1-A peak drivers |
| ID (continuous) | 4.4 A @ TC = 25 °C - defines maximum steady-state current with heatsink |
| EAS | 100 mJ - allows unclamped inductive switching up to 4.4 A without failure |
| trr | 200–400 ns - limits reverse recovery losses in hard-switched topologies |
| PD | 50 W @ TC = 25 °C - sets thermal design baseline for TO-220AB mounting |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package: insulated tab, vertical lead orientation, 3-pin through-hole mount with 2.54 mm pitch; case-to-sink thermal resistance of 0.50 °C/W with greased flat surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current path from source to load | Connected to MOSFET die backside; electrically tied to metal tab-requires isolation when mounted to heatsink |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input; 14 nC total charge requires ~140 ns to fully switch with 100 mA driver |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Common connection point for load return path and gate drive ground; internal source inductance = 7.5 nH |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Supports 4.4 A IAR and 5.0 mJ EAR under repetitive inductive turn-off, eliminating need for external snubbers in many flyback/boost stages |
| Dynamic dV/dt rating | 4.8 V/ns immunity prevents false turn-on during high-speed voltage transients across drain-source |
| Fast switching | 7 ns turn-on delay + 13 ns rise time enables >100 kHz operation with low switching loss |
| Low RDS(on) × Qg figure of merit | 15.4 Ω·nC - balances conduction and switching loss for optimized efficiency in 20–100 kHz SMPS |
| RoHS-compliant & halogen-free | Meets JEDEC JS709A and IEC 61249-2-21; BE3 suffix confirms Pb-free and Br/Cl-free terminations |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supplies | DC Motor Drives |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 30–60 W offline flyback converters with universal AC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch controlling energy transfer via duty-cycle modulation; operates at 65–100 kHz. Use Value: 250 V VDS and 100 mJ EAS withstand reflected output voltage spikes and leakage inductance energy without clamping. | Use Scenario: H-bridge low-side switch for 24 V brushed DC motors in industrial actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier and PWM-controlled current path; commutated at 1–20 kHz.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bridge arm switch synchronized with complementary gate drive; operated at 20–50 kHz. Use Value: Body diode trr ≤ 400 ns and Qrr ≤ 1.9 μC reduce shoot-through risk and reverse recovery loss during dead-time transitions. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP25NE20 | 200 V VDS, 25 A ID, 0.08 Ω RDS(on), TO-220FP package | Higher current, lower voltage rating; higher thermal resistance (3.5 °C/W) | Select when higher current handling is required and bus voltage stays ≤180 V; verify layout for different pinout (G-D-S vs D-G-S) |
| IXTP12N25P | 250 V VDS, 12 A ID, 0.28 Ω RDS(on), TO-220AB package, no avalanche rating | Higher current and lower RDS(on), but lacks repetitive avalanche specification | Prefer where conduction loss dominates and inductive energy is externally clamped; not suitable for unclamped inductive loads |
Compared with STP25NE20 and IXTP12N25P, the IRF624PBF-BE3 offers balanced 250 V/4.4 A capability with verified repetitive avalanche performance and industry-standard TO-220AB pinout-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 30–60 W power stages requiring robustness without overdesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF624PBF-BE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRF624PBF-BE3 supports 2.8 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, derated linearly from 4.4 A at 25 °C using the 0.40 W/°C derating factor. This reflects real thermal limits under sustained conduction-engineers must ensure heatsink design maintains case temperature ≤100 °C for reliable 2.8 A operation. The IRF624PBF-BE3 datasheet specifies this value in Absolute Maximum Ratings Table.
Does IRF624PBF-BE3 have a specified body diode reverse recovery time?
Yes, the IRF624PBF-BE3 body diode has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 200–400 ns at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 4.4 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. This parameter is critical for hard-switched topologies like synchronous buck or half-bridge inverters. The IRF624PBF-BE3 datasheet lists trr in the Drain-Source Body Diode Characteristics table on page 2.
Is IRF624PBF-BE3 pin-compatible with earlier IRF624 variants like IRF624PbF?
Yes, IRF624PBF-BE3 is mechanically and electrically pin-compatible with IRF624PbF and other TO-220AB-packaged IRF624 variants. Both share identical pinout (D-G-S), thermal footprint, and electrical specifications-the BE3 suffix only denotes halogen-free and Pb-free terminations. The IRF624PBF-BE3 can replace IRF624PbF without PCB changes.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRF624PBF-BE3?
The IRF624PBF-BE3 has a gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2.0 V to 4.0 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V logic-level gate drivers while maintaining noise immunity. The IRF624PBF-BE3 datasheet specifies VGS(th) in the Static Electrical Characteristics table on page 2.
Can IRF624PBF-BE3 be used in avalanche mode for energy clamping?
Yes, the IRF624PBF-BE3 is explicitly rated for repetitive avalanche operation: 4.4 A IAR and 5.0 mJ EAR at TJ ≤ 150 °C. It also supports 100 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy. This makes the IRF624PBF-BE3 suitable for unclamped inductive switching in flyback, boost, and relay-driving circuits without external snubbers.
