Product details
Overview
IRF640NSTRRPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 200V, 18A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.15Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, 150W power dissipation, and full avalanche rating. It serves as a high-efficiency switching element in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and AC mains-switching circuits operating up to 175°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the IRF640NSTRRPBF datasheet, IRF640NSTRRPBF pinout, IRF640NSTRRPBF application, or IRF640NSTRRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200V VDSS, 0.15Ω on-resistance, 67nC total gate charge, fast 19ns rise time, and TO-220AB thermal performance with 1.0°C/W RθJC.
Technical Context
This HEXFET® fifth-generation MOSFET employs advanced silicon processing for low specific on-resistance and robust unclamped inductive switching capability. Its gate threshold voltage (2.0–4.0V) enables direct TTL/CMOS drive, while 33nC Miller charge and 11nC gate-to-source charge support efficient hard-switching at frequencies up to several hundred kHz.
The integrated body diode exhibits 167–251ns reverse recovery time and 929–1394nC Qrr under 100A/µs di/dt, making it suitable for freewheeling and synchronous rectification where controlled diode turn-off is required. Thermal design leverages the TO-220AB's 1.0°C/W junction-to-case resistance and 40°C/W PCB-mounted junction-to-ambient rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 200V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; sets upper limit for DC bus or AC peak voltage handling |
| RDS(on) | 0.15Ω @ VGS=10V, ID=11A - Determines conduction loss (Pcond = I²×R) in continuous-current applications |
| ID (TC=25°C) | 18A - Continuous drain current rating at case temperature 25°C; derates linearly above 25°C |
| Qg | 67nC - Total gate charge defining driver strength requirement and switching energy loss |
| tr | 19ns - Rise time at VDD=100V, ID=11A, RG=2.5Ω; impacts turn-on transition loss and EMI profile |
| EAS | 247mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; enables reliable operation under inductive load switching stress |
| RθJC | 1.0°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; defines minimum heatsink interface requirement for 150W dissipation |
Pinout & Package
IRF640NSTRRPBF uses the standard TO-220AB through-hole package with isolated tab (drain-connected), offering mechanical robustness, low-cost mounting, and compatibility with industry-standard heatsinks.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current-carrying terminal, electrically connected to metal tab | Must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits; primary path for high-side or low-side switching current |
| Gate | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring <100nA leakage control; sensitive to ESD; requires gate resistor for dV/dt immunity |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Serves as common reference for gate drive circuitry; carries full load current in low-side configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully avalanche rated | 247mJ single-pulse energy tolerance enables reliable unclamped inductive switching without external snubbers |
| Low RDS(on) | 0.15Ω minimizes conduction losses in high-current DC-DC stages and motor phase legs |
| Fast switching | 19ns rise / 5.5ns fall times reduce transition losses in SMPS operating >100kHz |
| TTL/CMOS compatible | 2.0–4.0V VGS(th) allows direct drive from microcontrollers and logic-level gate drivers |
| High temperature operation | Junction range –55°C to +175°C supports under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP20NM60FD | 600V VDSS, 0.32Ω RDS(on), 20A ID, DPAK package | Higher voltage rating but higher on-resistance and surface-mount only; lower thermal mass | Select when 600V blocking is required and PCB space constraints favor SMT over through-hole |
| IXTP18N20D2 | 200V VDSS, 0.14Ω RDS(on), 18A ID, TO-220FP (full-pack) package | Same voltage/current specs but non-isolated tab; slightly lower RDS(on); no drain-tab isolation | Choose when heatsink grounding is acceptable and minimal on-resistance is prioritized over electrical isolation |
Compared with STP20NM60FD and IXTP18N20D2, IRF640NSTRRPBF offers optimal balance of 200V rating, 0.15Ω on-resistance, isolated TO-220AB packaging, and proven avalanche ruggedness-making it preferred for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding through-hole power stages where drain isolation is mandatory.

FAQ
Is IRF640NSTRRPBF lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, the "PbF" suffix confirms IRF640NSTRRPBF is lead-free and fully RoHS 6/6 compliant. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) and has been qualified per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-002B for solderability. The device uses matte tin plating on leads and complies with EU Directive 2011/65/EU.
Can IRF640NSTRRPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, IRF640NSTRRPBF supports paralleling due to its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (normalized RDS(on) increases with temperature), enabling inherent current sharing. Designers must match gate drive impedance, minimize source inductance imbalance, and ensure uniform heatsinking to avoid thermal runaway.
What is the maximum safe operating area (SOA) limitation at 100°C case temperature?
At TC = 100°C, the SOA is limited by RDS(on) conduction (ID ≤ 13A continuous) and pulse width. For 10ms pulses, maximum VDS is ~120V at 18A; for 100µs pulses, it extends to ~200V at 72A. Refer to Figure 4 in the official datasheet for precise SOA boundary curves.
Does the body diode support continuous conduction mode (CCM) in synchronous buck converters?
No - the body diode is not optimized for CCM synchronous rectification. Its 167–251ns trr and 929–1394nC Qrr cause significant reverse recovery loss and voltage overshoot. For CCM operation, use a dedicated Schottky or GaN FET as the synchronous rectifier; IRF640NSTRRPBF is best suited for discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) or as the high-side switch only.
