Product details
Overview
IRF830BPBF from Vishay Siliconix is a 500 V, 5.3 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring 1.5 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 20 nC total gate charge, and 28.8 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy-designed for high-voltage switching in SMPS and motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the IRF830BPBF datasheet, IRF830BPBF pinout, IRF830BPBF application, or IRF830BPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500 V VDS, 1.5 Ω on-resistance at 10 V drive, TO-220AB thermal performance (RthJC = 1.2 °C/W), and rugged body diode with 320 ns reverse recovery time.
Technical Context
This N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET uses planar silicon technology optimized for high-voltage, medium-current switching. It supports unclamped inductive switching with rated UIS capability and exhibits low Ciss (325 pF) and Coss (34 pF) to minimize capacitive losses during hard-switching transitions.
The device operates with gate threshold voltage between 3 V and 5 V, requires no negative gate drive, and delivers stable RDS(on) up to 150 °C junction temperature-enabling reliable operation in thermally constrained industrial power stages without complex gate biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 500 V - supports primary-side switching in offline 400 V DC bus applications without derating |
| RDS(on) max | 1.5 Ω at VGS = 10 V, ID = 2.5 A - enables <1.9 W conduction loss at 5 A continuous drain current |
| Qg max | 20 nC - allows efficient 10–20 V gate drive with minimal driver power dissipation |
| EAS | 28.8 mJ - provides robustness against inductive turn-off transients in motor and welding circuits |
| RthJC | 1.2 °C/W - permits 104 W power dissipation with ≤125 °C case-to-ambient delta under heatsinked conditions |
| tr/tf | 11–22 ns - supports >100 kHz switching in resonant and hard-switched topologies |
| VSD | 1.2 V at IS = 4 A - defines forward drop of integral body diode during synchronous rectification or freewheeling |
Pinout & Package
IRF830BPBF is housed in a through-hole TO-220AB package with standard three-terminal layout: Gate (G), Drain (D), and Source (S). The metal tab is electrically connected to the Drain terminal and serves as the primary thermal path to heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate control input | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; 1.7 Ω typical gate input resistance minimizes ringing with standard 9.1 Ω series gate resistor |
| D | Drain connection | High-side switching node; electrically tied to metal tab-requires isolation washer when mounted to grounded heatsink |
| S | Source reference | Common return for load current and gate drive reference; connects to PCB ground plane for low-inductance source loop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) × Qg FOM | 30 Ω·nC - reduces combined conduction and switching losses in high-frequency SMPS designs |
| Avalanche-rated (UIS) | 28.8 mJ single-pulse - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching |
| Rugged body diode | 320 ns trr, 1.2 μC Qrr - supports reliable freewheeling in half-bridge and flyback configurations |
| High dV/dt immunity | 24 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C - suppresses false turn-on in noisy high-dv/dt environments like motor drives |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel high-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP5NK50ZFP | 500 V, 4.5 A, RDS(on) = 1.4 Ω, Qg = 16 nC, TO-220FP (full-pack) | Lower ID rating and smaller package footprint; higher thermal resistance (RthJC = 1.5 °C/W) | Preferred where board space is constrained and peak current ≤4.5 A; requires tighter thermal design due to reduced heatsinking area. |
| IXTP50N10P | 100 V, 50 A, RDS(on) = 0.022 Ω, Qg = 75 nC, TO-220AB | Lower voltage rating but vastly higher current capacity and lower on-resistance; incompatible for 400 V bus use | Only suitable for low-voltage (<120 V) high-current applications such as battery-powered inverters-cannot replace IRF830BPBF in high-voltage topologies. |
Compared with STP5NK50ZFP and IXTP50N10P, the IRF830BPBF uniquely balances 500 V capability, 5.3 A current handling, and 1.5 Ω on-resistance in a standard TO-220AB package-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally managed 400–500 V switching stages where both voltage margin and conduction efficiency matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF830BPBF at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRF830BPBF supports 3.4 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, per its absolute maximum ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-220AB package and ensures safe operation within the 150 °C maximum junction temperature limit. Designers must verify heatsink performance to maintain TC ≤ 100 °C under full-load conditions.
Does IRF830BPBF have a fully rated avalanche capability, and how is it specified?
Yes, the IRF830BPBF is fully rated for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with a single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 28.8 mJ, tested under standardized conditions (VDD = 50 V, L = 2.3 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, IAS = 5 A). This rating is explicitly confirmed in the Vishay datasheet and applies directly to the IRF830BPBF part number.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for IRF830BPBF, and how does it affect drive requirements?
The IRF830BPBF has a gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 3 V to 5 V at ID = 250 μA. This means reliable turn-on begins near 3 V, but full enhancement requires ≥10 V gate drive to achieve the specified 1.5 Ω RDS(on). The IRF830BPBF is not a logic-level MOSFET and must be driven with a dedicated 10–15 V gate driver stage.
Can IRF830BPBF be used in synchronous rectification applications?
The IRF830BPBF contains an integral body diode with VSD = 1.2 V at 4 A and trr = 320 ns, but it is not optimized for synchronous rectification due to relatively high forward voltage and recovery charge (Qrr = 1.2 μC). For high-efficiency SR, purpose-built low-VF, fast-recovery MOSFETs are preferred-though IRF830BPBF remains viable in non-critical freewheeling roles.
Is IRF830BPBF lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, IRF830BPBF is lead-free and halogen-free, as indicated by the "-BE3" suffix in its ordering code (IRF830BPbF-BE3). It complies with JEDEC JS709B and Vishay's material categorization standard per document 99912, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and China RoHS II requirements.
