Product details
Overview
IRFBF30SPBF from Vishay Siliconix is a 900 V, 3.6 A N-channel power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, featuring 3.7 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 78 nC total gate charge, and repetitive avalanche rating-designed for high-voltage flyback and snubberless AC-DC converters operating up to 150 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the IRFBF30SPBF datasheet, IRFBF30SPBF pinout, IRFBF30SPBF application, or IRFBF30SPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include unclamped inductive switching capability (250 mJ), peak diode recovery dV/dt (1.5 V/ns), body diode reverse recovery time (430–650 ns), and thermal resistance RthJC = 1.0 °C/W for high-reliability industrial power supplies.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Vishay's third-generation high-voltage MOSFET family optimized for ruggedness and fast switching in offline SMPS topologies. Its dynamic dV/dt rating and repetitive avalanche capability enable robust operation under transient overvoltage and inductive load switching without external clamping.
The D2PAK package provides low junction-to-case thermal resistance (1.0 °C/W) and supports PCB-mount power dissipation up to 125 W at TC = 25 °C. Gate drive is simplified by ±20 V VGS rating and moderate Qg (78 nC), enabling compatibility with standard 12 V gate drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 900 V - supports primary-side switching in universal-input AC-DC converters up to 380 V DC bus with safety margin |
| RDS(on) | 3.7 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - determines conduction loss in continuous current mode; enables <3.6 A RMS operation at 100 °C case |
| Qg | 78 nC - defines gate drive energy requirement; compatible with common PWM controllers driving ≤100 kHz |
| EAS | 250 mJ - specifies single-pulse unclamped inductive energy handling; critical for transformer reset reliability |
| RthJC | 1.0 °C/W - enables direct heatsink mounting for thermal management in compact 50–125 W power stages |
| dV/dt (diode) | 1.5 V/ns - sets maximum allowable voltage slew rate during body diode commutation to prevent false turn-on |
| ID (TC = 100 °C) | 2.3 A - defines usable continuous current under real-world thermal conditions in enclosed enclosures |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) package with exposed drain tab on underside for thermal and electrical connection; 3-pin surface-mount outline per JEDEC TO-263AB standard; thermal pad soldered to PCB copper area per Vishay recommended footprint (10.67 mm × 9.02 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives 10 V logic-level signal to fully enhance channel; input capacitance Ciss = 1200 pF affects driver sizing |
| D (Drain) | High-side power output | Connected to transformer primary or HV rail; electrically and thermally tied to exposed metal tab |
| S (Source) | Power return / reference | Provides return path for load current; source inductance LS = 7.5 nH impacts switching waveform ringing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Supports ≥3.6 A IAR and 13 mJ EAR under repeated inductive switching-eliminates need for external avalanche protection |
| Dynamic dV/dt rating | 1.5 V/ns peak diode recovery dV/dt tolerance prevents spurious turn-on during high-slew commutation events |
| Fast switching | Turn-off delay td(off) = 90 ns and fall time tf = 30 ns enable efficient operation at 50–100 kHz in quasi-resonant converters |
| Low RthJC | 1.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance allows direct heatsink mounting without thermal interface material in many applications |
| RoHS-compliant, lead-free | Meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; halogen-free option available per SiHFBF30S-GE3 ordering code |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP9NK90ZFP | 900 V, 8.5 A, RDS(on) = 1.3 Ω, Qg = 75 nC, TO-220FP package | Higher current rating but higher RDS(on) at lower VGS; requires through-hole mounting and larger heatsink | Preferred where higher peak current and through-hole assembly are acceptable |
| IXTH3N90L | 900 V, 3.2 A, RDS(on) = 4.2 Ω, Qg = 42 nC, TO-247 package | Lower gate charge reduces driver loss but higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss; larger TO-247 footprint | Selected when minimizing gate drive power dominates over conduction efficiency |
Compared with STP9NK90ZFP and IXTH3N90L, IRFBF30SPBF offers optimal balance of surface-mount D2PAK packaging, 3.6 A continuous rating, and 3.7 Ω RDS(on) for space-constrained 50–100 W industrial power supplies requiring repeatable avalanche performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFBF30SPBF at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFBF30SPBF supports 2.3 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derated value accounts for thermal limitations in enclosed environments and ensures safe operation within the 150 °C maximum junction temperature limit. Designers must verify PCB copper area and heatsinking to maintain TC ≤ 100 °C under full load.
Does IRFBF30SPBF have an integrated body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, IRFBF30SPBF includes an integral reverse p-n junction body diode. Key parameters include 3.6 A continuous source-drain current (IS), 1.8 V forward voltage (VSD) at 3.6 A and 25 °C, and reverse recovery time (trr) of 430–650 ns at 25 °C with 100 A/μs dI/dt. These values are critical for evaluating commutation losses in hard-switched topologies.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRFBF30SPBF, and how does it affect drive design?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for IRFBF30SPBF is 2.0–4.0 V at TJ = 25 °C and ID = 250 μA. This range confirms standard-level (not logic-level) drive requirements; full enhancement requires ≥10 V VGS. Designers must ensure gate driver output exceeds 10 V with sufficient current to charge 78 nC Qg within required switching times.
Can IRFBF30SPBF be used in avalanche mode, and what are the limits?
Yes, IRFBF30SPBF is repetitively avalanche rated with IAR = 3.6 A and EAR = 13 mJ per pulse. Single-pulse avalanche energy is rated at 250 mJ. Operation in avalanche mode must respect pulse width and duty cycle limits defined in Figure 11 and note "a" of the datasheet to avoid exceeding TJ(max) = 150 °C.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for IRFBF30SPBF in typical PCB mount?
For IRFBF30SPBF mounted on a 1" square FR-4 PCB, the maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) is 40 °C/W. This value assumes standard PCB copper layout per Vishay's recommended pad dimensions. With direct heatsink attachment to the drain tab, RthJC = 1.0 °C/W becomes the dominant thermal path, significantly improving power handling capability.
