Product details
Overview
IRF7406PBF from Infineon Technologies is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SO-8 package, rated for -30 V VDS, -5.7 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and 0.042 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V. It serves as a low-side load switch in DC-DC converters, battery protection circuits, and power management subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the IRF7406PBF datasheet, IRF7406PBF pinout, IRF7406PBF application, or IRF7406PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = -1.0 to -2.5 V), fast switching performance (trd = 12 ns, tfd = 30 ns), and SO-8 thermal capability (RθJA = 62°C/W).
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-controlled unidirectional power switch with body diode conduction capability. Its P-channel architecture enables high-side or low-side configuration without level-shifting circuitry when driven from 3.3 V or 5 V logic, and its SO-8 footprint supports dual-MOSFET half-bridge layouts.
The MOSFET features a fully characterized reverse recovery behavior (trr = 45 ns, Qrr = 12 nC) and exhibits stable RDS(on) over junction temperature (±20% variation from −55°C to 150°C), making it suitable for thermally constrained industrial and automotive power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −30 V: Maximum blocking voltage in reverse-biased drain-source path; defines safe operating range in 24 V systems. |
| ID (continuous) | −5.7 A at TC = 25°C: Continuous current handling with heatsink; derates to −3.6 A at TC = 100°C. |
| RDS(on) | 0.042 Ω at VGS = −10 V: On-resistance determines conduction loss; yields <0.14 W dissipation at 5.7 A. |
| VGS(th) | −1.0 to −2.5 V: Threshold voltage range enabling direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers. |
| QG | 19 nC at VGS = −10 V: Total gate charge dictates driver strength requirement and switching energy. |
| trr | 45 ns: Reverse recovery time of integrated body diode; critical for synchronous rectification efficiency. |
| RθJA | 62°C/W: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in standard SO-8 PCB layout; sets max power before thermal shutdown. |
Pinout & Package
IRF7406PBF uses the industry-standard SO-8 surface-mount package (JEDEC MS-012AA), with 1.27 mm lead pitch, 5.0 × 6.2 mm body, and exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | Drain (D) | Five parallel internal drain connections tied to exposed pad; primary current-carrying terminal for high-side or low-side switching. |
| 6 | Gate (G) | Control terminal; requires −10 V for full enhancement; logic-level compatible down to −4.5 V. |
| 7, 8 | Source (S) | Two parallel source terminals; referenced to system ground in low-side configuration or supply rail in high-side. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced with −4.5 V VGS, eliminating need for gate driver ICs in 3.3 V/5 V control systems. |
| Low RDS(on) | 0.042 Ω at −10 V ensures <150 mW conduction loss at 5.7 A, reducing thermal stress in compact PCBs. |
| Fast switching | 12 ns turn-on delay and 30 ns turn-off fall time minimize switching losses in PWM frequencies up to 500 kHz. |
| Robust body diode | 45 ns reverse recovery time and 12 nC Qrr support efficient freewheeling in buck converters and H-bridge motor drives. |
| SO-8 thermal design | Exposed drain pad allows direct thermal coupling to copper pour, improving power handling by ~30% vs. standard SO-8. |
Applications
| Power Supply ORing | Battery Protection Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Dual-input 24 V DC power system where redundant supplies feed a common bus via back-to-back MOSFETs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side ORing switch controlling current flow direction; body diode blocks reverse current during fault. Use Value: Enables hot-swap capability and prevents backfeed with <42 mΩ on-resistance and no external diode drop. | Use Scenario: Li-ion battery pack with over-discharge and short-circuit protection managed by fuel gauge IC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary discharge path switch; controlled by protection IC's gate signal to interrupt load during fault. Use Value: Sub-1 V gate threshold ensures reliable turn-off at 2.8 V cell voltage; 5.7 A rating covers typical portable device loads. |
| DC-DC Synchronous Rectifier | Industrial PLC Output Stage |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification in isolated 12 V → 3.3 V flyback converter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active rectifier replacing Schottky diode; driven complementary to primary switch timing. Use Value: 45 ns trr and low Qrr reduce cross-conduction loss; 0.042 Ω RDS(on) cuts conduction loss by >60% vs. 40 V Schottky. | Use Scenario: 24 V digital output module driving solenoids, relays, and indicator LEDs in factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side power switch interfaced directly to FPGA I/O bank or microcontroller GPIO. Use Value: −2.5 V max VGS(th) guarantees turn-on with 3.3 V logic; SO-8 footprint simplifies routing and thermal relief. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si7157DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 0.035 Ω at −10 V; lower QG (15 nC); SO-8 but no exposed drain pad. | Higher efficiency at high frequency due to lower gate charge; reduced thermal margin in sustained 5 A operation. | Prefer for high-frequency SMPS where gate drive loss dominates; avoid in thermally limited enclosures without added copper. |
| DMN3026LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 0.045 Ω at −10 V; VGS(th) = −1.2 to −2.2 V; same SO-8 footprint with exposed drain. | Nearly identical thermal and conduction performance; slightly higher threshold improves noise immunity in noisy PLC environments. | Drop-in replacement where tighter VGS(th) tolerance is required; validated in same board-level thermal tests. |
Compared with Si7157DP-T1-GE3 and DMN3026LSD-13, IRF7406PBF offers the best balance of low RDS(on), robust body diode, and proven thermal performance in SO-8 with exposed drain-making it optimal for industrial power stages demanding reliability over peak efficiency.

FAQ
Is IRF7406PBF suitable for high-side switching configurations?
Yes. Its P-channel structure and −30 V VDS rating allow direct high-side use with gate driven relative to the source. When VGS ≤ −4.5 V, RDS(on) remains below 0.065 Ω, supporting efficient operation in 24 V bus applications without level shifters.
What is the maximum pulsed drain current rating?
The absolute maximum pulsed drain current is −18 A (tp ≤ 10 µs, duty cycle ≤ 1%), per the Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve. This enables short-duration surge handling in motor startup or inrush limiting, provided case temperature stays below 150°C.
Does IRF7406PBF have avalanche ruggedness rating?
No. The datasheet does not specify single-pulse or repetitive avalanche energy (EAS). Designers must ensure voltage transients remain within the −30 V VDS limit using clamping or snubbing networks in inductive load applications.
Can IRF7406PBF be used in parallel with identical units?
Yes, with proper layout. Matching RDS(on) tolerance (±20%) and symmetrical gate drive paths ensure current sharing. Use individual 10 Ω gate resistors and Kelvin source connections to minimize imbalance; thermal coupling via shared copper pour further improves balance.
