Product details
Overview
IRF9620PBF-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, rated for -200 V drain-source voltage, 1.5 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, and -3.5 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It serves as a high-voltage, medium-current switching element in DC-DC converters, motor control H-bridge high-side drivers, and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRF9620PBF-BE3 datasheet, IRF9620PBF-BE3 pinout, IRF9620PBF-BE3 application, or IRF9620PBF-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified -200 V blocking capability, gate-threshold voltage range of -2.0 to -4.0 V, body diode reverse recovery time (300–450 ns), and thermal resistance RthJC = 3.1 °C/W - all critical for reliable high-side switching in 100–200 V rail systems.
Technical Context
This third-generation Vishay power MOSFET uses planar vertical DMOS technology optimized for ruggedness and fast switching in hard-switched topologies. Its dynamic dV/dt rating (-5.0 V/ns) and specified pulsed diode recovery (dI/dt ≤ 95 A/μs) support operation in inductive load circuits without external snubbing in many cases.
The device features low gate charge (Qg = 22 nC max, Qgd = 10 nC) and moderate transconductance (gfs = 1.0 S typ), enabling efficient gate drive with standard logic-level or discrete driver ICs. Its TO-220AB package provides direct heatsink mounting via case (drain) connection and supports up to 40 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C.
Key Specifications

| trr | 300–450 ns - Limits reverse recovery energy in freewheeling paths; requires careful layout to avoid voltage overshoot. |
Pinout & Package
IRF9620PBF-BE3 is housed in a TO-220AB package with drain-connected tab for direct heatsinking. The plastic body isolates gate and source terminals electrically from the case. Mounting torque: 10 lbf·in (1.1 N·m).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | High-current output node / heat transfer path | Internally connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits. |
| Gate | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <100 nA leakage current; sensitive to ESD; routed away from noisy traces. |
| Source | Reference node / return path | Common return for load current and gate drive reference; source inductance (LS = 7.5 nH) affects switching waveform fidelity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Industrial Motor Control | DC-DC Power Conversion |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: High-side switch in 48–100 V brushed DC motor H-bridge driver. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: P-channel MOSFET providing controlled current sourcing to motor winding during forward conduction phase. Use Value: -200 V VDS rating accommodates back-EMF spikes up to 150 V; RDS(on) = 1.5 Ω limits I²R loss to <18.4 W at -3.5 A stall current. |
Use Scenario: Synchronous rectifier or high-side switch in non-isolated buck converter for industrial PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching element controlling energy transfer from 120 V DC input to regulated 24 V output. Use Value: Qg = 22 nC enables clean 100 ns switching edges at 100 kHz; body diode trr = 300–450 ns allows predictable freewheeling behavior. |
| Power Supply OR-ing | AC-DC Auxiliary Supply |
|
Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity protection and OR-ing diode replacement in dual-input 24 V redundant power systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-loss replacement for Schottky diode in hot-swap and redundancy circuits. Use Value: RDS(on) = 1.5 Ω reduces forward drop to ~5.25 mV at 3.5 A vs. 0.4 V for diode - cutting conduction loss by >98%. |
Use Scenario: High-voltage startup switch in auxiliary flyback supply powering control ICs in 230 V AC-DC SMPS. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient-rated switch connecting bulk capacitor to VCC rail until main controller starts. Use Value: Absolute maximum VDS = -200 V ensures margin against 300 V peak rectified line; dV/dt immunity prevents spurious turn-on during surge events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel high-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9540NPBF | VDS = -100 V, RDS(on) = 0.2 Ω @ -10 V, Qg = 85 nC - lower voltage, lower RDS(on), higher gate charge. | Not suitable for >120 V DC bus; better for 24–48 V motor control where lower conduction loss dominates. | Select IRF9540NPBF only if system VDS stress remains ≤ -80 V and gate drive strength supports 85 nC. |
| STP20PF06 | VDS = -60 V, RDS(on) = 0.18 Ω @ -10 V, Qg = 45 nC - significantly lower voltage rating and on-resistance. | Targeted at 12–24 V automotive and battery-powered systems; insufficient for industrial 100+ V rails. | Choose STP20PF06 only for cost-sensitive 24 V applications where <0.2 Ω RDS(on) justifies trade-off in voltage capability. |
Compared with IRF9620PBF-BE3, IRF9540NPBF offers lower conduction loss but fails at 150 V bus stress, while STP20PF06 delivers superior efficiency below 48 V yet cannot withstand even nominal 100 V DC link voltages - making IRF9620PBF-BE3 the sole viable option for 100–170 V high-side switching where voltage margin and ruggedness are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF9620PBF-BE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRF9620PBF-BE3 supports -2.0 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-220AB package and must be validated against actual board layout, heatsink interface, and ambient conditions. Designers should use RthJC = 3.1 °C/W and junction temperature limit of 150 °C to confirm safe operating area in their specific implementation.
Does IRF9620PBF-BE3 have avalanche capability, and is it rated for repetitive operation?
Yes, the IRF9620PBF-BE3 is characterized for repetitive avalanche operation per Vishay's standard test conditions (ISD ≤ -3.5 A, dI/dt ≤ 95 A/μs, VDD ≤ VDS, TJ ≤ 150 °C). Its ruggedized device design and SOA curve (Fig. 4) confirm suitability for clamped inductive switching - a key requirement in motor drive and relay driving applications where unclamped energy must be absorbed internally.
Can IRF9620PBF-BE3 be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
No - the IRF9620PBF-BE3 has a gate threshold voltage range of -2.0 to -4.0 V and requires ≥ -10 V for guaranteed RDS(on) = 1.5 Ω. A 3.3 V GPIO cannot provide sufficient negative gate drive; a dedicated level-shifting circuit or gate driver IC (e.g., TC4427 configured for inverting high-side drive) is required to achieve full enhancement and minimize conduction loss.
What is the body diode forward voltage of IRF9620PBF-BE3 at -3.5 A and 25 °C?
The body diode forward voltage (VSD) of IRF9620PBF-BE3 is -7.0 V maximum at TJ = 25 °C, IS = -3.5 A, and VGS = 0 V. This relatively high forward drop reflects its high-voltage P-channel structure and necessitates careful evaluation in freewheeling paths - especially in synchronous rectification where external Schottky diodes may still be preferred for efficiency.
Is IRF9620PBF-BE3 suitable for use in automotive applications?
The IRF9620PBF-BE3 is not AEC-Q101 qualified and is intended for industrial, commercial, and general-purpose power applications. While its -55 to +150 °C operating temperature range meets automotive under-hood extremes, Vishay does not certify this part for automotive use due to lack of stress testing per AEC-Q101. For automotive designs, consult Vishay's AQ-series P-channel MOSFETs such as SQJ858EP.
