Product details
Overview
IRFB41N15DPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 150 V, 41 A, N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters and motor control. It features RDS(on) = 0.045 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, Qg = 72 nC (typ), and avalanche-rated EAS = 470 mJ, enabling efficient hard-switching in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRFB41N15DPBF datasheet, IRFB41N15DPBF pinout, IRFB41N15DPBF application, or IRFB41N15DPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 V VDSS, low gate charge for reduced switching loss, thermal resistance RθJC = 0.75 °C/W, body diode recovery performance (trr = 170 ns), and TO-220AB mechanical compatibility with heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process technology with fully characterized output capacitance (Coss = 510 pF @ VDS = 25 V) and effective Coss = 250 pF for soft-switching design. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 3.0–5.5 V) ensures robust turn-on margin under varying drive conditions.
The device supports unclamped inductive switching with IAR = 25 A and EAS = 470 mJ (single-pulse), and exhibits dv/dt immunity up to 2.7 V/ns during diode recovery - critical for reliability in flyback and resonant topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 150 V - Withstands 150 V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche onset, suitable for 120 VAC-derived bus rails. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.045 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 25 A - Enables <1.1 W conduction loss at 25 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID continuous @ TC = 25°C | 41 A - Rated for full-load operation with case temperature maintained at 25°C using heatsink. |
| Qg typ | 72 nC - Low total gate charge minimizes driver power and enables >500 kHz switching in SMPS designs. |
| trr | 170 ns (typ) - Fast body diode recovery reduces cross-conduction loss in synchronous rectification and half-bridge configurations. |
| RθJC | 0.75 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance allows direct heatsink mounting for high-power density layouts. |
| EAS | 470 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating supports robustness against inductive load transients without external snubbers. |
Pinout & Package
IRFB41N15DPBF uses the standard TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), 3-pin through-hole configuration. Mounting torque: 10 lbf·in (1.1 N·m); soldering temperature: 300°C for 10 s at 1.6 mm from case.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Lead) | Gate (G) | High-impedance control terminal; requires <72 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD. |
| Pin 2 (Tab) | Drain (D) | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be insulated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits. |
| Pin 3 (Lead) | Source (S) | Power return path and gate reference; carries full load current and body diode reverse recovery current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 35/72 nC - Reduces Miller-induced switching delay and improves controllability in high-dV/dt environments. |
| Fully characterized Coss eff. | 250 pF - Enables accurate calculation of turn-off energy and zero-voltage switching (ZVS) boundary conditions. |
| Avalanche-rated | EAS = 470 mJ - Eliminates need for external clamping circuits in inductive switching applications like solenoid drivers. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant, Pb-free plating - Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 for reflow compatibility. |
| Body diode trr spec | 170–260 ns - Guaranteed fast recovery supports synchronous rectifier replacement in LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge topologies. |
Applications
| Motor Drive Inverter Stage | Industrial DC-DC Converter Primary Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 3-phase BLDC motor inverter stage operating at 20–40 kHz PWM frequency with 48 V bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side/low-side switching element handling 41 A peak phase current; synchronized with gate driver for dead-time control.

Use Value: 150 V VDSS provides 20% margin over 380 VDC × √2/π ≈ 120 V reflected clamp voltage, ensuring safe operation under transient overvoltage. |
| Solenoid & Actuator Driver | UPS Inverter Output Stage |
Use Scenario: 24 V industrial solenoid control module requiring 30 A pulsed current and inductive kick protection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unclamped inductive switch with integrated avalanche capability; driven by microcontroller GPIO via level-shifting buffer.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch in full-bridge output stage; conducts 41 A RMS during overload conditions (125% for 10 min). Use Value: RθJC = 0.75 °C/W enables thermal management with passive heatsink only, reducing fan dependency and acoustic noise. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP40NF15 | RDS(on) = 0.042 Ω, Qg = 85 nC, VDSS = 150 V, TO-220 | Higher gate charge increases driver loss; identical avalanche rating but lower SOA at high TC | Prefer when lowest on-resistance is prioritized over switching speed. |
| IXTH40N15 | RDS(on) = 0.040 Ω, Qg = 92 nC, VDSS = 150 V, TO-247 | Larger package offers better thermal performance (RθJC = 0.45 °C/W) but requires PCB layout revision. | Choose for higher ambient temperature operation (>85°C case) where board space permits TO-247. |
Compared with STP40NF15 and IXTH40N15, IRFB41N15DPBF delivers optimal balance of low Qg (72 nC), proven SOA in TO-220AB, and production-ready lead-free qualification - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, high-volume 200–500 kHz SMPS designs.

FAQ
Is IRFB41N15DPBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The "PbF" suffix confirms lead-free termination per JEDEC J-STD-020, with matte tin plating and MSL Level 1 rating. It meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and China RoHS II, and has been qualified for reflow profiles up to 260°C peak.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for 250 kHz operation?
For 250 kHz hard-switching with 12 V gate drive, a 5.6 Ω series gate resistor limits peak current to ~2.1 A while achieving ton/toff < 100 ns. This value balances switching speed against ringing and EMI; values below 3.3 Ω increase risk of gate oscillation without proportional efficiency gain.
Can IRFB41N15DPBF replace IRF41N15DPBF in existing designs?
No - IRF41N15DPBF does not exist in Infineon's official part numbering system. IRFB41N15DPBF is the correct base number; variants like IRFSL41N15DPBF (TO-262) and IRFS41N15DPBF (D2-Pak) share identical electrical specs but differ in thermal and mechanical characteristics.
Does the body diode support synchronous rectification in continuous conduction mode?
Not recommended. While trr = 170 ns is fast for a standard MOSFET, its Qrr = 1.3 µC and softness factor (ta/tb) are uncharacterized. For true synchronous rectification, use dedicated trench Schottky or GaN devices with controlled reverse recovery.
