Product details
Overview
IRF634STRRPBF from Vishay Siliconix is a surface-mount N-channel power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, rated for 250 V drain-source voltage, 8.1 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 0.45 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It delivers fast switching, repetitive avalanche capability, and robust dv/dt immunity for high-reliability DC-DC converters and motor control stages.
For engineers reviewing the IRF634STRRPBF datasheet, IRF634STRRPBF pinout, IRF634STRRPBF application, or IRF634STRRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 74 W junction-to-case thermal rating, 41 nC total gate charge, 300 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, and suitability for high-current, medium-voltage industrial power switching where ruggedness and surface-mount scalability are required.
Technical Context
This third-generation power MOSFET employs planar silicon technology with optimized die layout to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining high avalanche ruggedness and stable dynamic performance across temperature. Its gate threshold voltage range (2.0–4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V logic-level drivers.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 220–440 ns, Qrr = 1.2–2.4 μC) and exhibits low internal inductance (LD = 4.5 nH, LS = 7.5 nH), supporting clean switching waveforms in hard-switched topologies without external snubbing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 250 V - Supports 200 V DC bus designs with 25 % safety margin |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.45 Ω - Enables ≤ 18.5 W conduction loss at 8.1 A ID |
| Qg | 41 nC - Requires ~0.41 mC gate drive per 10 kHz switching cycle |
| ID (TC = 25 °C) | 8.1 A - Delivers full rated current with heatsink or PCB copper area |
| EAS | 300 mJ - Withstands unclamped inductive energy spikes in relay/motor drive faults |
| trr (body diode) | 220–440 ns - Minimizes reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectification |
| RthJC | 1.7 °C/W - Allows direct thermal path to heatsink for high-power density layouts |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection; 3-pin configuration (G, D, S); 14.61–15.88 mm height; 8.38–9.65 mm width; 9.65–10.67 mm length; recommended minimum PCB pad: 10.668 × 9.017 mm (0.420″ × 0.355″).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control input | Accepts 10 V logic-level drive; 6.5 nC Qgs enables fast turn-on with low driver stress |
| D (Drain) | High-side power output | Exposed metal tab - must be electrically connected to high-voltage node and thermally coupled to heatsink |
| S (Source) | Power return / reference | Common return for gate drive and load current; low-inductance source path critical for dv/dt stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | DC-DC Converters |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side N-channel switch controlling phase voltage; synchronized with complementary low-side FET. Use Value: 0.45 Ω RDS(on) and 8.1 A rating enable >95 % efficiency at 5 A load; avalanche rating protects against back-EMF transients. | Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in isolated flyback or forward converter for industrial power supplies (24 V/5 A output). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch operating at 100–200 kHz; handles 200 V reflected output voltage plus leakage spike margin. Use Value: 250 V VDS and 300 mJ EAS ensure safe operation during transformer reset and output short-circuit events. |
| Uninterruptible Power Supplies | Lighting Ballasts |
Use Scenario: Inverter stage in line-interactive UPS converting 350 V DC bus to 230 V AC output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bridge-leg switch in H-bridge topology; commutated at 50/60 Hz with PWM modulation for waveform shaping.

Use Value: Fast tr/tf and low Coss (190 pF) support efficient ZVS operation; body diode trr < 440 ns avoids cross-conduction losses. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP20NM50FP | 500 V VDS, 20 A ID, 0.27 Ω RDS(on), TO-220FP package | Higher voltage/current rating but through-hole; lacks surface-mount scalability and same avalanche energy | Choose for higher-voltage legacy designs requiring TO-220 footprint; not drop-in for D2PAK PCBs |
| IXTP50N10P | 100 V VDS, 50 A ID, 0.022 Ω RDS(on), TO-220 package | Lower voltage rating, much higher current; no avalanche rating specified; different thermal profile | Choose only for low-voltage, high-current applications where 250 V margin is unnecessary |
Compared with STP20NM50FP and IXTP50N10P, IRF634STRRPBF offers optimal balance of 250 V rating, D2PAK surface-mount compatibility, and verified 300 mJ avalanche robustness-making it uniquely suited for space-constrained, medium-voltage industrial switching where reliability under transient stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF634STRRPBF at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current for IRF634STRRPBF is 5.1 A when the case temperature is 100 °C. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the D2PAK package and ensures safe operation within the 150 °C maximum junction temperature limit. The 8.1 A rating applies only at TC = 25 °C, and linear derating (0.59 W/°C) must be applied above that point. IRF634STRRPBF maintains stable RDS(on) up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Does IRF634STRRPBF have a specified avalanche energy rating?
Yes, IRF634STRRPBF is repetitively avalanche rated with 7.4 mJ maximum repetitive avalanche energy (EAR) and 300 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS). These values are measured under defined test conditions (VDD = 50 V, IAS = 8.1 A, L = 7.3 mH, Rg = 25 Ω). The device's avalanche capability is integral to its ruggedized design and validated per Vishay's S20-0682 specification. IRF634STRRPBF does not require external clamping in properly designed inductive switching circuits.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRF634STRRPBF?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for IRF634STRRPBF is specified from 2.0 V to 4.0 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V gate drivers while avoiding unintended conduction near ground potential. The typical value is ~3.0 V, and the device remains fully enhanced above 10 V. IRF634STRRPBF is not a logic-level MOSFET and requires ≥10 V for minimal RDS(on).
Can IRF634STRRPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, IRF634STRRPBF is explicitly designed for ease of paralleling, as confirmed in its official features list. Its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) promotes current sharing, and low gate input resistance (0.6–2.9 Ω) minimizes gate loop imbalance. For stable parallel operation, matched gate resistors and symmetrical PCB layout are required. IRF634STRRPBF has been validated in multi-device configurations for high-current motor drive inverters and redundant PSU outputs.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for IRF634STRRPBF on a standard PCB?
The maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) for IRF634STRRPBF mounted on a 1" square FR-4 PCB is 40 °C/W. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions and defines worst-case natural-convection cooling. When mounted directly to an external heatsink via the exposed drain pad, RthJC drops to 1.7 °C/W - enabling significantly higher power dissipation. IRF634STRRPBF's D2PAK package is optimized for both PCB and heatsink thermal paths.
