Product details
Overview
IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, rated for -60 V VDS, 0.28 Ω RDS(on) at -10 V VGS, and -11 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It supports repetitive avalanche operation, fast switching, and operates up to +175 °C junction temperature - commonly used in DC-DC converter high-side switches and motor control H-bridge circuits.
For engineers reviewing the IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 datasheet, IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 pinout, IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 application, or IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified P-channel polarity, TO-220AB thermal performance (RthJC = 2.5 °C/W), gate charge profile (Qg = 19 nC), body diode recovery (trr = 100–200 ns), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance per ordering code BE3.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Vishay's third-generation power MOSFET family optimized for ruggedness and cost-effective switching. Its P-channel architecture enables high-side configuration without level-shifting circuitry, and its dynamic dV/dt rating (-4.5 V/ns) ensures robustness against voltage transients during commutation.
The MOSFET features a fully characterized body diode with VSD = -6.3 V at -11 A and Qrr = 0.32–0.64 μC, supporting synchronous rectification and inductive load management. Thermal design is facilitated by low RthJC (2.5 °C/W) and validated mounting torque (1.1 N·m).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9Z34NPBF | VDS = -55 V, RDS(on) = 0.20 Ω @ -10 V, Qg = 22 nC - lower on-resistance but higher gate charge | Better conduction efficiency below 40 V, but increased drive power demand | Prefer when minimizing I²R loss dominates over gate drive complexity |
| DMG2305UVT-7 | VDS = -20 V, RDS(on) = 0.045 Ω @ -4.5 V, SOT-23 package - logic-level, low-voltage, surface-mount alternative | Not suitable for >30 V systems; limited to low-power portable electronics | Select only for space-constrained, low-voltage (<20 V), low-current (<4.5 A) designs |
Compared with IRF9Z24PBF-BE3, IRF9Z34NPBF offers lower conduction loss in 24–48 V systems but demands more gate drive energy, while DMG2305UVT-7 provides compact logic-level operation only in sub-20 V applications - neither is pin-compatible, and both require PCB layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for IRF9Z24PBF-BE3?
The IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 has a specified operating junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and supported by thermal characterization data including RthJC = 2.5 °C/W. The device maintains parameter stability across this full range, making IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial environments where ambient temperatures exceed 100 °C.
Is IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 suitable for linear-mode operation?
Yes, IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 can be operated in the linear (ohmic) region, as evidenced by its SOA curve (Fig. 8) and specified safe operating area up to 10 ms pulses. Its low RDS(on) tolerance and defined thermal resistance allow predictable power dissipation modeling. However, sustained linear operation requires careful heatsinking due to power density limitations - IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 is typically deployed in switching mode, but validated for short-duration analog control such as LED current regulation.
Does IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 have a built-in body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 integrates a parasitic body diode inherent to its vertical P-channel MOSFET structure. Key diode specifications include: continuous forward current IS = -11 A, pulsed current ISM = -44 A, forward voltage VSD = -6.3 V at -11 A and 25 °C, reverse recovery time trr = 100–200 ns, and reverse recovery charge Qrr = 0.32–0.64 μC. These values are measured under standardized conditions and directly impact performance in freewheeling and synchronous rectification applications.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRF9Z24PBF-BE3?
The gate-source threshold voltage VGS(th) for IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 is specified as -2.0 V minimum to -4.0 V maximum at VDS = VGS and ID = -250 μA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard -5 V or -10 V gate drive while maintaining noise immunity. The negative polarity confirms its P-channel nature, and the spread reflects process variation - design margin should assume worst-case -2.0 V for guaranteed conduction at light loads.
How does the BE3 suffix affect the environmental compliance of IRF9Z24PBF-BE3?
Per Vishay's ordering information, the BE3 suffix on IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 denotes lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free construction, compliant with JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. This distinguishes it from the Pb-free-only IRF9Z24PbF variant. The BE3 version uses matte tin plating and halogen-free molding compound, enabling use in environmentally regulated markets without compromising electrical or thermal performance - IRF9Z24PBF-BE3 retains identical absolute maximum ratings and electrical characteristics as non-BE3 variants.
