Product details
Overview
IRFBE30PBF-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a high-voltage N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, rated for 800 V drain-source voltage, 4.1 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 3.0 Ω on-resistance at VGS = 10 V. It features repetitive avalanche capability (13 mJ), fast switching (12 ns turn-on delay), and robust diode recovery (480–720 ns trr), suited for offline SMPS flyback and clamp circuits.
For engineers reviewing the IRFBE30PBF-BE3 datasheet, IRFBE30PBF-BE3 pinout, IRFBE30PBF-BE3 application, or IRFBE30PBF-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 800 V blocking rating, 78 nC total gate charge, TO-220AB thermal performance (RthJC = 1.0 °C/W), and lead-free/halogen-free compliance per Vishay S21-0868-Rev. C.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Vishay's third-generation high-voltage power MOSFET family, optimized for ruggedness and cost-effective high-voltage switching. Its design supports unclamped inductive switching with validated 260 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy and 4.1 A repetitive avalanche current under defined conditions (VDD = 50 V, L = 29 mH).
The IRFBE30PBF-BE3 integrates a low-leakage body diode (ISD ≤ 4.1 A, dI/dt ≤ 100 A/μs) with controlled reverse recovery (Qrr = 1.8–2.7 μC) and peak diode recovery dv/dt rating of 2.0 V/ns - critical for minimizing voltage overshoot in snubberless clamp topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 800 V - supports primary-side switching in universal-input offline converters up to 380 V DC bus with margin. |
| RDS(on) | 3.0 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - determines conduction loss in high-voltage, low-current applications like auxiliary supplies. |
| Qg | 78 nC - defines gate drive power requirement and influences switching speed in hard-switched topologies. |
| EAS | 260 mJ - enables reliable operation under transient overloads without external snubbers in flyback designs. |
| trr | 480–720 ns - impacts switching losses and EMI in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback converters. |
| TJ Range | −55 to +150 °C - ensures stable operation across industrial ambient and self-heating conditions. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard 3-lead through-hole mounting, 1.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and 62 °C/W max junction-to-ambient (no heatsink).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; 9.6 nC gate-source charge enables simple driver IC interface. |
| D (Drain) | High-side switch node | Connected to internal die substrate and metal tab; requires electrical isolation when mounted to heatsink. |
| S (Source) | Power return/reference | Serves as common reference for gate drive and current sensing; internal source inductance LS = 7.5 nH affects switching waveform fidelity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Validated for 4.1 A IAR and 13 mJ EAR - enables robustness against inductive kickback without derating in clamp circuits. |
| Dynamic dV/dt rating | 2.0 V/ns peak diode recovery dv/dt - suppresses false turn-on during high-slew-rate transitions in high-frequency flyback. |
| Fast switching | 12 ns td(on), 33 ns tr, 82 ns td(off), 30 ns tf - reduces transition losses in 65–130 kHz SMPS designs. |
| Ease of paralleling | Positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient - ensures current sharing stability when multiple IRFBE30PBF-BE3 devices are used in parallel. |
Applications
| Offline Flyback Converter | Clamp-Type SMPS |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP8NK80ZFP | 800 V VDS, 7.5 Ω RDS(on), 38 nC Qg, TO-220FP package (full-pack) | Higher on-resistance increases conduction loss; lower Qg improves switching efficiency but reduces ruggedness margin | Preferable where gate drive power is constrained and avalanche stress is minimal |
| FQP8N80C | 800 V VDS, 3.5 Ω RDS(on), 75 nC Qg, TO-220 package with non-isolated tab | Similar RDS(on) and Qg, but no specified repetitive avalanche rating or dv/dt spec | Acceptable for cost-sensitive designs where full avalanche validation is not required |
Compared with STP8NK80ZFP and FQP8N80C, the IRFBE30PBF-BE3 offers superior ruggedness (260 mJ EAS, 2.0 V/ns dv/dt) and verified repetitive avalanche operation - critical for clamp-free, high-reliability offline power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for IRFBE30PBF-BE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFBE30PBF-BE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 2.6 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-220AB package and must be applied in thermally constrained layouts without forced airflow or large heatsinks. Designers should verify junction temperature using RthJC = 1.0 °C/W and actual power dissipation to ensure safe operation below 150 °C.
Does IRFBE30PBF-BE3 support logic-level gate drive?
No, IRFBE30PBF-BE3 is not a logic-level MOSFET. Its gate-source threshold voltage ranges from 2.0 V to 4.0 V, and it is characterized for RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It requires a 10 V gate drive for specified on-resistance and switching performance. Using 5 V logic-level drive results in significantly higher RDS(on) and unreliable turn-on, especially at elevated temperatures.
Is IRFBE30PBF-BE3 pin-compatible with earlier IRFBE30 variants?
Yes, IRFBE30PBF-BE3 maintains identical TO-220AB mechanical footprint, pinout (G-D-S), and thermal characteristics as legacy IRFBE30PbF and IRFBE30 parts. The BE3 suffix denotes lead-free and halogen-free construction per Vishay's material compliance standards, with no electrical or packaging changes affecting PCB layout or assembly.
What is the body diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr) specification for IRFBE30PBF-BE3?
The IRFBE30PBF-BE3 specifies Qrr = 1.8–2.7 μC under test conditions of TJ = 25 °C, IF = 4.1 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. This parameter directly impacts turn-off losses and EMI generation in flyback converters operating in discontinuous conduction mode, and must be accounted for in snubber design and driver sizing.
Can IRFBE30PBF-BE3 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, IRFBE30PBF-BE3 is designed for ease of paralleling due to its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on), which promotes natural current sharing among devices. Successful parallel operation requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical PCB layout, and thermal coupling to ensure uniform junction temperature rise across all units.
