Product details
Overview
IRF830ALPBF from Vishay Siliconix is a 500 V, 5.0 A N-channel power MOSFET in I2PAK (TO-262) package, featuring RDS(on) ≤ 1.40 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 24 nC, and 230 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - designed for high-voltage switching in offline SMPS half-bridge topologies.
For engineers reviewing the IRF830ALPBF datasheet, IRF830ALPBF pinout, IRF830ALPBF application, or IRF830ALPBF equivalent, this device supports stable high-dV/dt operation (5.3 V/ns), offers fully characterized Coss and body diode recovery (trr = 430–650 ns), and delivers validated unclamped inductive switching performance up to IAS = 5.0 A.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar vertical DMOS technology optimized for ruggedness in hard-switched converters. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.0–4.5 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers, while low Qgd/Qg ratio (11/24 nC) improves switching controllability under high dV/dt conditions.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (Qrr = 2.0–3.0 μC, trr = 430–650 ns) and exhibits specified peak diode recovery dV/dt of 5.3 V/ns - enabling robust operation in flyback and resonant converter freewheeling paths without external snubbing.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDS | 500 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 25 % margin for line surges and ringing |
| RDS(on) max | 1.40 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - enables <5 W conduction loss at 3.2 A continuous drain current |
| Qg max | 24 nC - determines gate drive power requirement and switching speed with 14 Ω resistor |
| EAS | 230 mJ - validates safe unclamped inductive switching at IAS = 5.0 A, L = 18 mH |
| trr | 430–650 ns - defines minimum dead-time needed to prevent shoot-through in bridge configurations |
| RthJC | 1.7 °C/W - allows 74 W power dissipation with heatsink interface at TC = 25 °C |
| ID cont. | 5.0 A @ TC = 25 °C - derates linearly to 3.2 A at TC = 100 °C per 0.59 W/°C factor |
Pinout & Package
I2PAK (TO-262) package with isolated tab (drain-connected), 3-pin through-hole compatible footprint, 9.65–10.67 mm width, 13.46–14.10 mm length, and 4.06–4.83 mm height - thermal pad optional within E/L1/D1/E1 boundaries per JEDEC MS-013.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP5NB50FP | 500 V, 5.5 A, RDS(on) = 1.2 Ω, TO-220FP package, no avalanche rating published | Lacks specified EAS and dV/dt ruggedness data - requires external clamping in inductive loads | Prefer IRF830ALPBF where unclamped inductive switching or high dV/dt immunity is required |
| IXTP50N10P | 100 V, 50 A, RDS(on) = 0.022 Ω, TO-220 package - incompatible voltage rating | Not suitable for 400 V bus applications; only viable in low-voltage (<120 V) motor control | Select IRF830ALPBF for 500 V-class systems; IXTP50N10P is not a functional substitute |
Compared with STP5NB50FP, IRF830ALPBF provides verified 230 mJ avalanche capability and 5.3 V/ns dV/dt rating - critical for reliability in offline SMPS. Unlike IXTP50N10P, it meets 500 V system requirements without derating or series stacking.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for IRF830ALPBF at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRF830ALPBF has a maximum continuous drain current of 3.2 A at TC = 100 °C, derived from its 5.0 A rating at 25 °C and linear derating factor of 0.59 W/°C. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and validated by thermal resistance RthJC = 1.7 °C/W. Designers must ensure heatsink interface maintains case temperature ≤100 °C to sustain this current in IRF830ALPBF-based circuits.
Does IRF830ALPBF support logic-level gate drive?
No, IRF830ALPBF is not a logic-level MOSFET. Its gate threshold voltage range is 2.0–4.5 V, but it requires VGS = 10 V to achieve RDS(on) ≤ 1.40 Ω. The datasheet specifies parameters exclusively at 10 V gate drive, and no performance data is provided for VGS ≤ 5 V. For true logic-level operation, designers should select devices explicitly rated for 4.5 V or 5 V drive, not IRF830ALPBF.
What is the body diode reverse recovery time (trr) specification for IRF830ALPBF?
The IRF830ALPBF body diode reverse recovery time is specified as 430–650 ns under test conditions of TJ = 25 °C, IF = 5.0 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. This parameter is measured on the integral p-n junction and directly impacts dead-time selection in bridge topologies. The value appears in the "Drain-Source Body Diode Characteristics" section of the datasheet and applies identically to all variants in the IRF830A/SiHF830A family, including IRF830ALPBF.
Is IRF830ALPBF RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, IRF830ALPBF is both RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, indicated by the "-GE3" suffix in Vishay's ordering nomenclature. The part uses lead (Pb)-free terminations and conforms to material categorization per Vishay document 99912. This compliance is explicitly stated in the "Ordering Information" table and "Features" section of the datasheet, confirming suitability for environmentally regulated industrial and consumer applications.
How does the effective output capacitance (Coss eff.) of IRF830ALPBF differ from standard Coss?
The IRF830ALPBF specifies Coss eff. = 39 pF - a fixed capacitance value calibrated to replicate the actual charging time of Coss while VDS rises from 0 to 80 % of 400 V. In contrast, standard Coss varies nonlinearly with voltage (e.g., 886 pF at 1 V, 27 pF at 400 V). Coss eff. is used for accurate turn-on loss calculation in hard-switched converters, and this value is explicitly defined in Note c of the datasheet for IRF830ALPBF and related variants.
