Product details
Overview
IRFB4610 from Infineon (formerly International Rectifier) is a 100V, 73A N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in TO-262 (I²PAK) package, optimized for high-frequency hard-switching and synchronous rectification. It features 11 mΩ typical RDS(on), 90 nC total gate charge, and enhanced avalanche ruggedness (370 mJ single-pulse EAS). Used in SMPS secondary-side switches and UPS output stages where fast diode recovery and dV/dt immunity are critical.
For engineers reviewing the IRFB4610 datasheet, IRFB4610 pinout, IRFB4610 application, or IRFB4610 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100V VDSS, 11 mΩ RDS(on) at 10V VGS, 35 ns typical trr body diode, SOA-limited pulsed current of 290A, and thermal resistance RθJC = 0.77°C/W - all validated per Infineon's 2010 datasheet revision.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon-gate technology with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted edge termination to achieve simultaneous low RDS(on) and high dV/dt immunity (>10 V/ns). Its body diode exhibits 1.3 V forward drop at 44 A and 35–53 ns reverse recovery time, enabling efficient unclamped inductive switching without external snubbers.
The device is characterized for repetitive avalanche operation up to 7.6 A at 175°C junction temperature, with energy rating governed by thermal impedance ZthJC and pulse width constraints. Gate drive requirements are defined by Qg = 90 nC (max 140 nC), Qgd = 36 nC, and gfs = 73 S - supporting <100 ns switching transitions under 5.6 Ω gate resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 100 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; supports 65 V bus designs with 1.5× safety margin. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 11 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, TJ = 25°C - Enables ≤0.5 W conduction loss at 73 A DC, critical for high-current SMPS outputs. |
| ID continuous | 73 A @ TC = 25°C - Requires heatsink capable of maintaining case temperature ≤80°C for full-rated current. |
| Qg total | 90 nC (max 140 nC) - Determines gate driver power requirement; 10 V drive needs ≥0.9 mW average power at 100 kHz. |
| trr | 35 ns (TJ = 25°C), 42 ns (TJ = 125°C) - Limits diode commutation losses in synchronous rectifiers operating >200 kHz. |
| EAS | 370 mJ - Specifies single-pulse unclamped inductive energy handling; enables robust operation in flyback/LLC resonant converters. |
| RθJC | 0.77 °C/W - Defines minimum thermal interface conductance needed: 0.5°C/W case-to-sink required for 73 A continuous use. |
Pinout & Package
IRFB4610 is housed in a TO-262 (I²PAK) package: 3-pin, through-hole, isolated drain tab, standard 0.150" lead pitch, and 0.200" mounting hole spacing. The drain connects directly to the exposed metal tab for low-inductance thermal and electrical path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Lead) | Gate | High-impedance control input; requires <140 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD (±20 V max). |
| Pin 2 (Lead) | Drain | Main power terminal; electrically and thermally connected to metal tab; must be isolated from heatsink unless referenced to same potential. |
| Pin 3 (Lead) | Source | Power return and gate reference node; carries full load current and source-diode recovery current; layout must minimize LS. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enhanced avalanche ruggedness | 370 mJ single-pulse EAS with validated SOA curves up to 175°C - eliminates need for external clamping in UPS and motor drive H-bridges. |
| Optimized body diode | 35 ns trr, 1.3 V VSD, and 660 A/µs dI/dt capability - enables zero-voltage switching in synchronous rectifiers without parasitic turn-on. |
| Low gate charge profile | Qgd/Qg = 40% - reduces Miller-induced switching delay and improves controllability during hard-switching transitions. |
| Thermally robust construction | RθJC = 0.77°C/W and 175°C TJ(max) - supports high-power density designs with forced-air or liquid-cooled heatsinks. |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | Pb-free plating on leads and solderable tab surface - meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) for reflow compatibility. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current, 100V power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP75NF10 | Higher RDS(on) (12.5 mΩ typ), lower Qg (75 nC), same TO-220AB package but no TO-262 variant. | Limited to lower-current (<65 A) designs due to higher conduction loss; less suitable for space-constrained PCBs requiring I²PAK footprint. | Select when gate drive power budget is tight and thermal margin exceeds 15°C; verify SOA compliance for >100 µs pulses. |
| IXTH75N10L2 | Lower RDS(on) (9.5 mΩ), higher Qg (160 nC), TO-247 package with superior RθJC (0.45°C/W), but larger footprint. | Better thermal performance enables 85 A continuous operation, but requires redesign of mounting holes and PCB copper area. | Choose for new designs needing >75 A current or extended lifetime at 150°C junction; avoid if legacy TO-262 mechanical compatibility is mandatory. |
Compared with STP75NF10 and IXTH75N10L2, IRFB4610 delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate gate charge, and TO-262 mechanical compatibility - making it preferred for retrofitting existing 100V SMPS platforms without board rework.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFB4610 at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 52 A at TC = 100°C with VGS = 10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-262 package and ensures junction temperature remains below 175°C under steady-state conduction with proper heatsinking.
Does IRFB4610 have a fully characterized avalanche SOA?
Yes - the datasheet provides validated single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 370 mJ and repetitive avalanche curves (Figures 14–15) covering pulse widths from 1 µs to 100 ms, with explicit limits on IAR, EAR, and starting junction temperature up to 175°C.
Can IRFB4610 replace IRFS4610PbF in an existing TO-220AB design?
No - IRFB4610 uses TO-262 (I²PAK) package with different pin spacing, mounting hole pattern, and thermal pad geometry. While electrically identical, mechanical incompatibility requires PCB layout change; IRFS4610PbF remains the correct TO-220AB option for that footprint.
What is the typical reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of the body diode at 125°C?
The typical Qrr is 65 nC at TJ = 125°C, VR = 85 V, IF = 44 A, and di/dt = 100 A/µs, as measured per Figure 20 in the datasheet. This value increases ~50% over the 25°C condition (44 nC), directly impacting switching loss in synchronous rectifier applications.
