Product details
Overview
IRFB4215PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 60V, 115A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring 9.0mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, fully avalanche-rated operation, and optimized switching performance for high-efficiency SMPS designs. It serves as a primary switching device in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and UPS systems requiring robust pulsed current handling up to 360A.
For engineers reviewing the IRFB4215PBF datasheet, IRFB4215PBF pinout, IRFB4215PBF application, or IRFB4215PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.56°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 170nC total gate charge, 78–120ns reverse recovery time, and validated operation at 175°C junction temperature-critical for thermally constrained industrial power stages.
Technical Context
This HEXFET® device employs advanced silicon processing to achieve ultra-low on-resistance per die area while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching capability. Its intrinsic body diode exhibits 1.2V forward voltage at 90A and 25°C, with controlled reverse recovery (Qrr = 250–380nC, trr = 78–120ns) under di/dt = 100A/µs conditions.
The MOSFET supports fast switching via low gate charge parameters (Qgs = 39nC, Qgd = 59nC) and exhibits stable threshold voltage (2.0–4.0V) across temperature. Its SOA is limited by RDS(on) at short pulses and by package thermal constraints beyond 100µs, with linear derating of 1.8W/°C above 25°C case temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines usable input voltage range in buck/boost topologies. |
| RDS(on) | 9.0mΩ @ VGS = 10V, ID = 54A - Directly determines conduction loss in high-current paths; enables <1W loss at 115A DC. |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 115A - Continuous drain current rating at heatsink-mounted condition; sets minimum heatsink sizing baseline. |
| Qg | 170nC - Total gate charge required for full turn-on; governs driver strength requirement and switching loss trade-off. |
| trr | 78–120ns - Body diode reverse recovery time; impacts shoot-through risk and EMI in synchronous rectification. |
| RθJC | 0.56°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables accurate junction temperature estimation using measured case temperature. |
| EAS | 1080–220mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; quantifies ruggedness during inductive turn-off transients. |
Pinout & Package
IRFB4215PBF is housed in a through-hole TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), rated for 10 lbf·in mounting torque and 300°C soldering tolerance at 1.6mm from case. Thermal interface requires flat, greased surface for optimal RθCS = 0.24°C/W performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output / heat sink interface | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system design permits common-drain configuration. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-inductance return path; internal source inductance (LS) affects switching waveform fidelity and dV/dt immunity. |
| Gate | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring <170nC charge delivery; sensitive to ringing due to Qgd-dominated Miller effect. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully avalanche rated | Validated single-pulse EAS up to 1080mJ ensures reliable operation during inductive load switching faults without derating. |
| Optimized for SMPS | Low Qgd/Qg ratio (59/170nC ≈ 35%) reduces Miller-induced switching delay and improves hard-switching efficiency. |
| 175°C operating junction | Enables use in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without forced air cooling, extending system lifetime under thermal stress. |
| Lead-free construction | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; "PBF" suffix confirms Pb-free plating and assembly process per JEDEC J-STD-020. |
Applications
| Server VRM Power Stage | Industrial Motor Drive Inverter |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP60NF06 | RDS(on) = 10.5mΩ, Qg = 120nC, VDSS = 60V, TO-220 | Lower gate charge reduces driver loss but higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss at >80A. | Preferable where gate drive power is constrained and average current stays below 90A. |
| IXTH120N60L2 | RDS(on) = 6.2mΩ, Qg = 220nC, VDSS = 600V, TO-247 | Higher voltage rating and lower on-resistance, but significantly larger gate charge and incompatible package. | Only suitable when 600V blocking is required; not a drop-in replacement due to footprint and drive demand mismatch. |
Compared with STP60NF06 and IXTH120N60L2, IRFB4215PBF offers the best balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and TO-220AB thermal performance for 48–60V industrial SMPS-enabling compact heatsinking without excessive gate drive complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The IRFB4215PBF supports 81A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value accounts for thermal derating from the 115A rating at 25°C and reflects package-limited current handling under realistic heatsink conditions.
Is the TO-220AB package electrically isolated?
Yes-the TO-220AB package used for IRFB4215PBF features an electrically isolated metal tab (drain-connected), enabling direct mounting to a grounded heatsink without short-circuit risk. The isolation voltage is rated per JEDEC standards for this package type.
Does IRFB4215PBF have a built-in body diode, and what are its key characteristics?
Yes-it integrates a fast-recovery p-n junction body diode with VSD = 1.2V at IS = 90A and TJ = 25°C, trr = 78–120ns, and Qrr = 250–380nC. These values are measured under standardized di/dt = 100A/µs conditions and are critical for synchronous rectification design.
Can IRFB4215PBF be used in surface-mount designs?
No-Infineon explicitly states that TO-220AB packages are not recommended for surface-mount applications due to mechanical stress, thermal cycling reliability, and solder joint integrity concerns. Through-hole mounting with proper torque (10 lbf·in) is required.
