Product details
Overview
IRFBC20SPBF from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 2.2 A N-channel surface-mount power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, featuring 4.4 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 18 nC total gate charge, and full avalanche rating-designed for high-voltage flyback and offline SMPS primary-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the IRFBC20SPBF datasheet, IRFBC20SPBF pinout, IRFBC20SPBF application, or IRFBC20SPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V blocking capability, 150 °C junction rating, dynamic dV/dt tolerance of 3.0 V/ns, and compatibility with compact surface-mount PCB layouts requiring robust unclamped inductive switching performance.
Technical Context
This device implements a third-generation planar vertical DMOS structure optimized for high-voltage hard-switching topologies. Its design integrates low gate charge (Qg = 18 nC) with fast switching (tr = 23 ns, tf = 25 ns) and controlled body diode recovery (trr = 290–580 ns, Qrr = 0.67–1.3 μC), enabling efficient operation in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback converters.
The IRFBC20SPBF uses a fully rated avalanche architecture supporting single-pulse EAS = 84 mJ and repetitive EAR = 5.0 mJ, with thermal resistance RthJC = 2.5 °C/W enabling high-power density mounting on FR-4 PCBs. Its gate threshold voltage range (2.0–4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on under standard 10 V gate drive while maintaining noise immunity.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP6NK60ZFP | 600 V, 5.5 Ω RDS(on), 16 nC Qg, TO-220FP package | Through-hole mounting; higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss but lower Qg eases gate drive | Preferred where board space allows through-hole and thermal mass improves transient thermal response |
| FQP6N60C | 600 V, 5.0 Ω RDS(on), 22 nC Qg, TO-220 package | Higher gate charge increases driver loss; lacks specified dV/dt rating and avalanche data | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-safety-critical designs where full avalanche ruggedness is not required |
Compared with STP6NK60ZFP and FQP6N60C, the IRFBC20SPBF offers superior surface-mount integration, lower on-resistance, and documented dynamic dV/dt and avalanche performance-making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, high-reliability offline SMPS where PCB real estate and surge robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFBC20SPBF at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFBC20SPBF supports 1.4 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, derated linearly from 2.2 A at 25 °C using a factor of 0.40 W/°C. This reflects thermal limitations of the D2PAK package when mounted on standard FR-4 PCBs without additional heatsinking. Designers must verify junction temperature rise using RthJC = 2.5 °C/W and actual power dissipation in their layout. The IRFBC20SPBF remains within safe operating area up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Does IRFBC20SPBF have a specified peak diode recovery dv/dt rating?
Yes, the IRFBC20SPBF has a specified peak diode recovery dv/dt rating of 3.0 V/ns under test conditions of ISD ≤ 2.2 A, dI/dt ≤ 40 A/μs, VDD ≤ VDS, and TJ ≤ 150 °C. This parameter quantifies the device's ability to withstand rapid voltage transients across the body diode during commutation without false turn-on. The IRFBC20SPBF achieves this via optimized die structure and internal source inductance (LS = 7.5 nH), making it suitable for snubberless flyback and resonant converter designs.
Is IRFBC20SPBF RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, IRFBC20SPBF is lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free, conforming to Vishay's material categorization per document 99912. It carries the "-GE3" suffix designation in Vishay's ordering nomenclature for RoHS-compliant versions. The "PbF" suffix in IRFBC20SPBF indicates lead-free termination with matte tin plating, verified per JEDEC J-STD-609. No exemptions apply, and the device meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and China RoHS II requirements. The IRFBC20SPBF is suitable for consumer, industrial, and medical end equipment requiring full environmental compliance.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for IRFBC20SPBF?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for IRFBC20SPBF is specified from 2.0 V to 4.0 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while providing noise margin against spurious triggering in electrically noisy power supply environments. The IRFBC20SPBF is not a logic-level MOSFET; it requires ≥ 8 V for full enhancement and minimal RDS(on). Gate drive design must account for this threshold spread to guarantee consistent switching timing across temperature and unit variance.
Can IRFBC20SPBF be used in avalanche mode for energy clamping?
Yes, the IRFBC20SPBF is fully avalanche rated with single-pulse EAS = 84 mJ and repetitive EAR = 5.0 mJ, validated per test condition VDD = 50 V, starting TJ = 25 °C, L = 31 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 2.2 A. This makes it suitable for unclamped inductive switching in flyback transformers and relay drivers where energy from leakage inductance must be safely absorbed. The IRFBC20SPBF's ruggedized die design ensures repeatable avalanche performance without degradation, provided pulse width and duty cycle remain within datasheet limits.
