Product details
Overview
IRF830BPBF-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 500 V, 5.3 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-voltage switching in SMPS and industrial motor drives with RDS(on) = 1.5 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, Qg = 20 nC, and EAS = 28.8 mJ.
For engineers reviewing the IRF830BPBF-BE3 datasheet, IRF830BPBF-BE3 pinout, IRF830BPBF-BE3 application, or IRF830BPBF-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche ruggedness, low gate charge for fast switching, thermal resistance (RthJC = 1.2 °C/W), and Pb-free/halogen-free compliance per JEDEC J-STD-020.
Technical Context
This discrete MOSFET uses planar VDMOS technology with an integrated body diode rated for 5 A continuous and 20 A pulsed source-drain current. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 3–5 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V logic-level drive, while dV/dt immunity of 24 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C supports stable operation in noisy high-side configurations.
The device features low Ciss (325 pF) and Coss (34 pF) to minimize capacitive switching losses, and its figure-of-merit RDS(on) × Qg = 30 Ω·nC enables high-efficiency operation in 400 V DC-link applications such as server PSUs and induction heating inverters.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDS max | 500 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 25 % margin for voltage transients |
| RDS(on) max | 1.5 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - limits conduction loss to ≤3.8 W at 5.3 A continuous drain current |
| Qg max | 20 nC - enables <24 ns turn-off delay with 9.1 Ω gate resistor at 400 V VDD |
| EAS | 28.8 mJ - withstands unclamped inductive switching events without failure |
| TJ range | −55 to +150 °C - qualified for industrial ambient environments up to 100 °C case temperature |
| RthJC | 1.2 °C/W - allows 104 W dissipation with ≤125 °C junction rise above 25 °C case |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard 3-lead through-hole mounting, and JEDEC MS-001 compliant outline. Thermal pad requires mechanical clamping and thermal interface material for optimal heat transfer.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP5NK50ZFP | 500 V, 4.5 A, RDS(on) = 1.4 Ω, Qg = 22 nC, TO-220FP package (full-pack) | Lower ID rating and higher RthJA (62 °C/W vs. 1.2 °C/W); unsuitable for high-power density designs | Prefer IRF830BPBF-BE3 when case temperature exceeds 85 °C or thermal interface is constrained |
| FQP5N50C | 500 V, 5.3 A, RDS(on) = 1.4 Ω, Qg = 25 nC, TO-220 package, no avalanche rating | No UIS qualification; lacks EAS specification - requires external protection in inductive loads | Select IRF830BPBF-BE3 where unclamped inductive switching (e.g., relay drivers, solenoid controls) is present |
Compared with STP5NK50ZFP and FQP5N50C, the IRF830BPBF-BE3 delivers superior thermal performance (RthJC = 1.2 °C/W), certified avalanche ruggedness (28.8 mJ), and lower gate charge per on-resistance - making it preferred for high-reliability industrial and telecom power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF830BPBF-BE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRF830BPBF-BE3 supports 3.4 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, derated linearly from 5.3 A at 25 °C using a factor of 0.83 W/°C. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies under steady-state thermal conditions with proper heatsinking.
Does IRF830BPBF-BE3 have avalanche energy rating, and what is its value?
Yes, the IRF830BPBF-BE3 is fully rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) at 28.8 mJ, tested per standard unclamped inductive switching conditions (VDD = 50 V, L = 2.3 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, IAS = 5 A). This rating is explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the Vishay datasheet S21-1262-Rev. C.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for IRF830BPBF-BE3?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for IRF830BPBF-BE3 is 3–5 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA, as specified in the Static Characteristics table. This ensures compatibility with standard 5 V and 10 V gate drivers without requiring level-shifting circuitry.
Is IRF830BPBF-BE3 suitable for use in high-frequency switching applications above 100 kHz?
The IRF830BPBF-BE3 supports high-frequency operation with td(on) = 24 ns max, tr = 22 ns max, and Qg = 20 nC, enabling efficient switching up to ~250 kHz in hard-switched topologies. However, its Coss = 34 pF and RDS(on) = 1.5 Ω make it most effective in 50–150 kHz ranges typical of industrial SMPS and induction heating.
What does the "-BE3" suffix indicate in IRF830BPBF-BE3?
The "-BE3" suffix denotes that IRF830BPBF-BE3 is Vishay's lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free version, compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. It replaces the legacy IRF830BPbF (Pb-free only) with enhanced environmental compliance.
