Product details
Overview
IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 650 V, 8.5 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.93 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 48 nC total gate charge, and 325 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy-designed for high-voltage switching in offline SMPS flyback and forward converters.
For engineers reviewing the IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 datasheet, IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 pinout, IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 application, or IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche ruggedness (325 mJ EAS), dV/dt immunity (2.8 V/ns), body diode recovery (493–739 ns trr), and RoHS/halogen-free compliance per ordering code -BE3.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology optimized for high-voltage unclamped inductive switching. Its gate structure delivers low Qg (48 nC) and balanced Qgd/Qgs ratio (19/12 nC), enabling fast, controllable turn-on/turn-off with reduced Miller-induced oscillation risk in hard-switched topologies.
Thermally, it features RthJC = 0.75 °C/W and supports continuous operation up to TJ = 150 °C. The integral body diode is characterized for reverse recovery (Qrr = 2.1–3.2 μC, trr = 493–739 ns), making it suitable for freewheeling in non-synchronous converters where diode conduction occurs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 650 V - Withstands full mains-referenced DC bus in universal-input offline SMPS. |
| RDS(on) | 0.93 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <5.2 W conduction loss at 5.1 A ID, supporting compact heatsink design. |
| Qg | 48 nC - Requires moderate gate drive strength; compatible with standard 1-A peak drivers. |
| EAS | 325 mJ - Sustains unclamped inductive energy during startup/fault without failure. |
| tr/tf | 20 ns / 18 ns - Supports >200 kHz switching in flyback converters with low switching loss. |
| dV/dt rating | 2.8 V/ns - Resists false turn-on in high-noise, high-dV/dt environments like PFC stages. |
| TJ range | −55 °C to +150 °C - Validated for industrial and telecom power supply ambient conditions. |
Pinout & Package
IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 is housed in a through-hole TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), rated for 167 W at TC = 25 °C and 0.75 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives voltage-controlled signal; 12 nC Qgs defines Miller plateau duration and drive timing. |
| D (Drain) | High-side power output | Connected to drain metallization and case tab; electrically tied to heatsink-requires isolation if heatsink is grounded. |
| S (Source) | Power return reference | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; source inductance directly impacts switching stability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP9NK65ZFP | Zener-protected gate; slightly higher RDS(on) (0.95 Ω); lower Qg (38 nC) | Better gate robustness in noisy environments; reduced drive loss but higher conduction loss | Prefer when gate ESD immunity is critical and thermal margin allows higher RDS(on) |
| IXTH9N65X2 | Enhanced trench process; lower RDS(on) (0.75 Ω); higher Ciss (1750 pF) | Lower conduction loss at cost of increased capacitive switching loss and gate drive demand | Prefer when efficiency at light-to-moderate load dominates over gate drive complexity |
Compared with STP9NK65ZFP and IXTH9N65X2, IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 offers balanced trade-offs: mid-range RDS(on), verified avalanche performance, and industry-standard TO-220AB mechanical compatibility-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained industrial SMPS designs requiring proven ruggedness.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 supports 5.4 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-220AB package and ensures safe operation within the 150 °C maximum junction temperature limit. Designers must verify heatsink performance to maintain TC ≤ 100 °C under full-load conditions.
Does IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 have a fully characterized body diode?
Yes, the IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 includes full characterization of its intrinsic body diode: reverse recovery time (trr = 493–739 ns), reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 2.1–3.2 μC), and forward voltage (VSD = 1.5 V at IS = 5.2 A). These parameters are measured per JEDEC standards and enable accurate loss modeling in non-synchronous converter topologies.
What does the "-BE3" suffix indicate in IRFB9N65APBF-BE3?
The "-BE3" suffix denotes that IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 is lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free, compliant with both RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and Vishay's internal halogen-free standard (per document 99912). It replaces the earlier "-PbF" variant and is intended for environmentally regulated end equipment such as telecom infrastructure and industrial automation systems.
Can IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 be used in zero-voltage switching (ZVS) circuits?
Yes, IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 supports ZVS operation due to its fully specified effective output capacitance (Coss eff. = 84 pF at VDS = 0–520 V) and low Qgd/Qgs ratio (19/12 nC). These characteristics allow predictable resonant tank behavior and reduce voltage-dependent switching loss-key for LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge designs operating above 100 kHz.
Is IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 suitable for automotive applications?
No, IRFB9N65APBF-BE3 is not qualified to AEC-Q101 or automotive-grade reliability standards. While it operates across −55 °C to +150 °C, its qualification is limited to industrial and commercial power supply applications. For automotive use, designers should select Vishay's AEC-Q101-qualified alternatives such as the SIHP12N60E or similar qualified high-voltage MOSFETs.
