Product details
Overview
IRF730SPBF from Vishay Siliconix is a 400 V, 5.5 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, optimized for high-voltage switching in offline SMPS, motor drives, and DC-DC converters with RDS(on) = 1.0 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 38 nC, and repetitive avalanche rating of 7.4 mJ.
For engineers reviewing the IRF730SPBF datasheet, IRF730SPBF pinout, IRF730SPBF application, or IRF730SPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal derating behavior, body diode recovery characteristics (trr = 270–530 ns), gate charge profile, and real-world mounting guidance for PCB-level thermal management.
Technical Context
This third-generation planar MOSFET employs ruggedized die construction with dynamic dV/dt capability up to 4.0 V/ns and supports unclamped inductive switching with EAS = 290 mJ (single-pulse) and IAR = 5.5 A (repetitive avalanche). Its low internal source/drain inductance (LS = 7.5 nH, LD = 4.5 nH) enables fast, clean switching transitions.
The device operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, features VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V, exhibits normalized RDS(on) drift of +0.54 V/°C, and maintains stable IDSS ≤ 25 μA at VDS = 400 V and TJ = 25 °C - confirming suitability for high-reliability industrial power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 400 V - supports 380 VAC rectified input rails with margin for surge and ringing |
| RDS(on) | 1.0 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - determines conduction loss in continuous-current applications |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP4NK50ZFP | 500 V VDS, 4.0 A ID, RDS(on) = 1.4 Ω, Zener-protected gate | Higher voltage margin but lower current and higher on-resistance; less suitable for high-current 400 V designs | Prefer when overvoltage protection and 500 V headroom outweigh conduction loss concerns |
| FQP4N40 | 400 V VDS, 4.0 A ID, RDS(on) = 1.8 Ω, TO-220 package | Same voltage rating but lower current and higher RDS(on); through-hole only, no surface-mount thermal pad | Choose only if legacy TO-220 layout constraints prevent D2PAK adoption |
Compared with STP4NK50ZFP and FQP4N40, the IRF730SPBF delivers superior current capability (5.5 A), lowest RDS(on) (1.0 Ω), and surface-mount thermal performance - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency 400 V power stages where PCB area and thermal management are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF730SPBF at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRF730SPBF supports a continuous drain current of 3.5 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derated value reflects thermal limitations of the D2PAK package under sustained high-temperature operation and must be validated against actual PCB layout and ambient conditions. The IRF730SPBF datasheet confirms this rating applies with proper heatsinking and airflow.
Does IRF730SPBF have avalanche capability, and how is it rated?
Yes, the IRF730SPBF is repetitively avalanche rated with EAR = 7.4 mJ and IAR = 5.5 A, and single-pulse avalanche energy EAS = 290 mJ. These values are measured under defined test conditions (VDD = 50 V, L = 16 mH, Rg = 25 Ω) and enable reliable operation in inductive switching circuits without external clamping. The IRF730SPBF specification sheet documents these ratings in Section "Absolute Maximum Ratings".
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRF730SPBF, and how does it affect drive requirements?
The IRF730SPBF has a gate-source threshold voltage VGS(th) ranging from 2.0 V to 4.0 V at ID = 250 μA, confirming compatibility with standard 10 V gate drivers. This range ensures reliable turn-on while avoiding unintended conduction from noise. Drive circuits must supply ≥10 V to achieve full RDS(on) = 1.0 Ω; the IRF730SPBF does not support logic-level (≤5 V) gate drive.
How does the body diode performance of IRF730SPBF impact its use in synchronous rectification or freewheeling?
The IRF730SPBF body diode exhibits trr = 270–530 ns and Qrr = 1.8–2.2 μC at TJ = 25 °C, enabling moderate-frequency freewheeling with manageable reverse recovery loss. However, its VSD = 1.6 V at IS = 5.5 A indicates higher forward drop than dedicated Schottky diodes - so the IRF730SPBF is best suited for non-synchronous or low-duty-cycle freewheeling rather than high-efficiency synchronous rectification.
What thermal resistance values apply to IRF730SPBF in surface-mount applications?
In surface-mount applications, the IRF730SPBF has RthJC = 1.7 °C/W (junction-to-case) and RthJA = 40 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, PCB mount). These values assume mounting on a 1" square FR-4 PCB per Vishay's recommended footprint. The low RthJC enables effective heat transfer to an external heatsink or copper pour, while the RthJA guides thermal design for standalone board-level operation. The IRF730SPBF thermal data is confirmed in the "Thermal Resistance Ratings" section of its datasheet.
