Product details
Overview
IRF710SPBF from Vishay Siliconix is a 400 V, 2.0 A N-channel surface-mount power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, featuring 3.6 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 17 nC total gate charge, and repetitive avalanche rating-designed for high-voltage DC-DC converters, AC-DC auxiliary supplies, and offline switch-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRF710SPBF datasheet, IRF710SPBF pinout, IRF710SPBF application, or IRF710SPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400 V drain-source breakdown voltage, 3.6 Ω on-resistance at 10 V gate drive, 120 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, D2PAK thermal performance (RthJC = 3.5 °C/W), and fast switching with 8 ns turn-on delay and 21 ns turn-off delay.
Technical Context
This third-generation Vishay power MOSFET uses planar vertical DMOS technology optimized for ruggedness and fast switching in high-voltage, moderate-current topologies. Its design supports unclamped inductive switching with controlled dv/dt (4.0 V/ns) and integrates a low-Qrr (0.85–1.6 μC) body diode for improved hard-switching reliability.
The device operates with gate threshold voltage between 2.0 V and 4.0 V, requires simple gate drive (±20 V max), and delivers stable RDS(on) up to 150 °C junction temperature. Its D2PAK package enables PCB-mount power dissipation of 3.1 W and case-mount dissipation of 36 W, supporting both compact and thermally demanding implementations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 400 V - Supports primary-side switching in 380 V DC bus and universal-input offline SMPS without derating. |
| RDS(on) | 3.6 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <2.9 W conduction loss at 1.2 A continuous current (TC = 100 °C). |
| Qg | 17 nC - Matches standard 10 V gate drivers; enables <100 ns total switching transition with 24 Ω gate resistor. |
| EAS | 120 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy in flyback snubberless designs or relay driving without external clamping. |
| ID (cont.) | 2.0 A @ TC = 25 °C - Sustains full-rated current with minimal heatsinking in D2PAK PCB-mount configurations. |
| trr / Qrr | 240–540 ns / 0.85–1.6 μC - Reduces diode recovery losses and EMI in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback converters. |
| RthJC | 3.5 °C/W - Allows direct thermal coupling to heatsink for high-power density designs requiring >10 W dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with exposed drain tab (pin 2) for thermal and electrical connection; 3-pin configuration with G–D–S terminal layout (viewed from top, marking side up, leads down).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level gate drive; 3.4 nC Qgs ensures rapid Miller plateau entry and low drive power. |
| D (Drain) | High-side power output | Exposed metal tab (pin 2) - electrically connected to drain; must be isolated from heatsink unless referenced to same potential. |
| S (Source) | Power return reference | Common source node for gate drive return path; internal source inductance (LS = 7.5 nH) affects diode reverse recovery behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Repetitive avalanche rated | 3.6 mJ per pulse - Enables reliable operation under transient overloads without external protection circuitry. |
| Dynamic dv/dt rating | 4.0 V/ns - Suppresses false turn-on in high-noise, high-dV/dt environments such as motor drives and PFC stages. |
| Fast switching | td(on) = 8 ns, tf = 11 ns - Reduces switching losses below 200 kHz operation with minimal gate drive complexity. |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 8.5/17 = 50% - Improves Miller immunity and enables stable operation with high-side gate drivers in half-bridge configurations. |
| RoHS-compliant, Pb-free | IRF710SPBF variant - Meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile; compatible with lead-free assembly processes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel high-voltage power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP4NK40ZFP | 400 V, 3.5 Ω RDS(on), 15 nC Qg, TO-220FP package | Through-hole mounting; higher RthJA (65 °C/W); no D2PAK thermal pad | Preferred where board space allows through-hole assembly and lower gate charge is prioritized over surface-mount integration. |
| IXTP4N40P | 400 V, 3.8 Ω RDS(on), 19 nC Qg, TO-220 package | Higher Qg increases gate drive loss; lacks repetitive avalanche rating; different SOA curve | Acceptable for non-avalanche-critical linear or low-duty-cycle switching; not recommended for unclamped inductive loads. |
Compared with STP4NK40ZFP and IXTP4N40P, the IRF710SPBF offers superior thermal performance in surface-mount layouts, guaranteed repetitive avalanche capability, and tighter Qgd/Qg ratio-making it optimal for compact, high-reliability offline power stages where PCB real estate and transient robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF710SPBF at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRF710SPBF supports 1.2 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the D2PAK package under sustained high-temperature operation and must be verified against actual PCB layout and heatsinking in the final design. The IRF710SPBF maintains 3.6 Ω RDS(on) across this temperature range, enabling predictable conduction loss calculation.
Does IRF710SPBF have a built-in body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, the IRF710SPBF integrates a monolithic body diode with typical forward voltage VSD = 1.6 V at IS = 2.0 A and TJ = 25 °C. Its reverse recovery time (trr) ranges from 240 ns to 540 ns, and reverse recovery charge (Qrr) is 0.85–1.6 μC-critical parameters for minimizing switching loss and EMI in flyback and resonant converters. These values are measured under standardized conditions (TJ = 25 °C, IF = 2.0 A, di/dt = 100 A/μs) and apply directly to the IRF710SPBF.
Is IRF710SPBF pin-compatible with other D2PAK-packaged MOSFETs like IRF740 or STP4NK40ZFP?
No, IRF710SPBF is not pin-compatible with IRF740 (which has identical D2PAK outline but different pin assignment: G–S–D vs. G–D–S) or STP4NK40ZFP (TO-220FP package). The IRF710SPBF follows standard D2PAK pinout: Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source. Substitution requires verification of pin mapping, thermal pad connectivity, and layout adaptation-even when package outlines appear similar.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRF710SPBF, and how does it affect drive requirements?
The IRF710SPBF has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2.0 V to 4.0 V at ID = 250 μA, confirming compatibility with standard 10 V gate drivers but not logic-level (3.3 V or 5 V) operation. Reliable enhancement-mode switching requires VGS ≥ 10 V to achieve full 3.6 Ω RDS(on); using lower gate voltages results in significantly higher on-resistance and conduction loss. This specification is explicitly defined for the IRF710SPBF in the datasheet's Static Characteristics section.
Can IRF710SPBF be used in avalanche mode, and what are the safe operating limits?
Yes, the IRF710SPBF is rated for repetitive avalanche operation with EAR = 3.6 mJ per pulse and single-pulse EAS = 120 mJ. Safe avalanche use requires adherence to pulse width and duty cycle limits defined in Figure 11 (maximum junction temperature constraint) and test condition b (VDD = 50 V, L = 52 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, IAS = 2.0 A). Exceeding these conditions risks permanent damage. The IRF710SPBF's avalanche capability is validated and documented-not inferred.
