Product details
Overview
IRF730STRLPBF from Vishay Siliconix is a 400 V, 5.5 A N-channel surface-mount power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, featuring 1.0 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 38 nC total gate charge, and repetitive avalanche rating - designed for high-voltage DC-DC converters, AC-DC PFC stages, and industrial motor control inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRF730STRLPBF datasheet, IRF730STRLPBF pinout, IRF730STRLPBF application, or IRF730STRLPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400 V blocking capability, 74 W case-rated power dissipation, fast switching (10 ns turn-on delay), body diode recovery time under 530 ns, and compatibility with standard gate drivers in hard-switched topologies.
Technical Context
This third-generation TrenchFET® MOSFET uses planar silicon process optimized for ruggedness and dynamic performance. Its gate threshold voltage (2.0–4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V logic-level drivers, while the 1.7 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance supports high-current operation when mounted on thermally enhanced PCBs.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 270–530 ns, Qrr = 1.8–2.2 μC) and is rated for unclamped inductive switching (EAS = 290 mJ), enabling robust operation in flyback, forward, and resonant converter topologies without external snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 400 V - supports primary-side switching in offline SMPS up to 380 VAC input with margin. |
| RDS(on) | 1.0 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - limits conduction loss to ≤11 W at 3.3 A continuous drain current. |
| Qg | 38 nC - determines gate drive power requirement (~380 μW per MHz of switching frequency). |
| ID (TC = 25 °C) | 5.5 A - enables use in medium-power applications without forced air cooling. |
| EAS | 290 mJ - allows safe energy absorption during inductive turn-off transients in relay drivers or solenoid controls. |
| tr/tf | 15 ns / 14 ns - supports switching frequencies up to 500 kHz with low overlap loss in hard-switched converters. |
| RthJC | 1.7 °C/W - permits 74 W power dissipation with ≤126 °C junction rise above 25 °C case temperature. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with exposed drain tab for thermal and electrical connection; 3-pin configuration (G, D, S) compatible with IPC-7351B footprint "D2PAK-HV".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gate (G) | Control electrode | Receives gate drive signal; requires ≤±20 V rating and low-impedance path to minimize ringing. |
| Drain (D) | High-side power terminal | Connected to exposed copper pad; serves as primary heat sink and high-voltage node in buck/boost/flyback topologies. |
| Source (S) | Reference and return path | Provides ground reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical for EMI control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Enables reliable operation under transient overloads without derating or external clamping in motor drive H-bridges. |
| Dynamic dV/dt rating | 4.0 V/ns immunity prevents false turn-on in high dv/dt environments like IGBT gate driver circuits. |
| Fast switching (td(on) = 10 ns) | Reduces switching losses in high-frequency SMPS, improving efficiency above 200 kHz. |
| Low Qgd/Qgs ratio (22/5.7 ≈ 3.9) | Improves Miller immunity and enables stable paralleling of multiple devices in high-current modules. |
| RoHS-compliant, lead-free | Meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile for Pb-free assembly; halogen-free per Vishay specification 99912. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP4NK50ZFP | 500 V VDS, 4.0 A ID, RDS(on) = 1.4 Ω, Zener-protected gate | Higher voltage rating but lower current and higher on-resistance; suited for lower-power 500 V designs | Select when 500 V margin is required and 4 A continuous current suffices; gate protection adds robustness in noisy environments. |
| FQP4N50 | 500 V VDS, 4.0 A ID, RDS(on) = 1.5 Ω, TO-220 package | Through-hole TO-220 vs. surface-mount D2PAK; no avalanche rating specified | Choose for prototyping or low-volume through-hole assembly where PCB space allows; lacks repetitive avalanche capability. |
Compared with STP4NK50ZFP and FQP4N50, the IRF730STRLPBF offers superior current handling (5.5 A vs. 4.0 A), lower RDS(on) (1.0 Ω vs. ≥1.4 Ω), and verified repetitive avalanche performance - making it preferred for production-grade, surface-mount, medium-power industrial switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF730STRLPBF at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRF730STRLPBF supports 3.5 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 and must be validated against actual board layout and ambient conditions. The IRF730STRLPBF maintains RDS(on) stability up to 150 °C junction temperature, ensuring predictable conduction loss in thermally constrained designs.
Does IRF730STRLPBF have a specified avalanche energy rating?
Yes, the IRF730STRLPBF is rated for 290 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) and 7.4 mJ repetitive avalanche energy (EAR). These values are measured under defined test conditions (VDD = 50 V, IAS = 5.5 A, L = 16 mH) and confirm its suitability for inductive load switching without external clamping. The IRF730STRLPBF datasheet explicitly states repetitive avalanche capability, distinguishing it from non-rated MOSFETs.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRF730STRLPBF?
The IRF730STRLPBF has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2.0 V to 4.0 V at TJ = 25 °C and ID = 250 μA. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V gate drivers while maintaining noise immunity. The IRF730STRLPBF exhibits positive temperature coefficient for VGS(th), supporting current sharing in paralleled configurations without thermal runaway.
Can IRF730STRLPBF be used in place of IRF730PBF?
No - IRF730STRLPBF and IRF730PBF are not interchangeable. The IRF730STRLPBF is a D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount variant with tape-and-reel packaging and updated third-generation die, whereas IRF730PBF is a legacy TO-220 through-hole part with different thermal and electrical characteristics. The IRF730STRLPBF datasheet does not claim pin compatibility or identical specs with IRF730PBF; substitution requires full circuit validation.
What is the typical body diode reverse recovery time for IRF730STRLPBF?
The IRF730STRLPBF has a typical body diode reverse recovery time (trr) of 270 ns and a maximum of 530 ns at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 3.5 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. This fast recovery minimizes switching losses and voltage spikes in synchronous rectification and bidirectional topologies. The IRF730STRLPBF's Qrr is specified as 1.8–2.2 μC, enabling accurate loss modeling in SPICE simulations.
