Product details
Overview
IRFC3004EB from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode silicon power MOSFET in TO-220 package, rated for 400 V VDS, 3.7 A ID (continuous), and 50 mΩ RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V. It serves as a high-voltage switching element in offline AC-DC power supplies, LED drivers, and industrial motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the IRFC3004EB datasheet, IRFC3004EB pinout, IRFC3004EB application, or IRFC3004EB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400 V blocking voltage, low gate charge (Qg = 19 nC), fast turn-on/turn-off times (ton = 25 ns, toff = 45 ns), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 3.5 °C/W), critical for high-efficiency flyback and forward converter designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a planar stripe HEXFET structure optimized for high-voltage ruggedness and avalanche energy handling (EAS = 180 mJ). Its threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 2.0 V to 4.0 V, ensuring reliable gate drive compatibility with standard 10 V logic-level controllers.
The device features a fully characterized safe operating area (SOA) up to 100 µs pulse width and supports unclamped inductive switching without external snubbers, making it suitable for hard-switched topologies where voltage overshoot and ringing must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 400 V - Maximum drain-to-source blocking voltage for primary-side switching in universal-input offline SMPS. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 50 mΩ - Conduction loss of ~0.7 W at 3.7 A continuous current, enabling thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| ID (continuous) | 3.7 A - Rated DC current with case temperature ≤ 25 °C; derates linearly above 25 °C per RθJC. |
| Qg | 19 nC - Total gate charge determining driver strength requirement; enables efficient 100–500 kHz operation. |
| ton/toff | 25 ns / 45 ns - Fast switching transitions reduce overlap losses in hard-switched converters. |
| EAS | 180 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating supporting robustness during transient overvoltage events. |
Pinout & Package
IRFC3004EB is housed in a through-hole TO-220AB package with isolated tab (electrically connected to drain). The package provides mechanical stability and direct heatsink mounting capability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current-carrying terminal, electrically tied to metal tab | Must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system design requires common-drain configuration. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Low-inductance connection required to minimize switching noise coupling into gate loop. |
| Gate | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring <100 Ω series resistance to damp oscillation and limit dV/dt-induced turn-on. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees single-pulse ruggedness to 180 mJ without derating, eliminating need for external clamping in many flyback designs. |
| Enhancement-mode operation | Ensures default-OFF behavior during power-up or controller fault, improving system safety in AC-DC adapters. |
| Low gate charge (Qg = 19 nC) | Reduces driver power dissipation and allows use of low-cost bipolar or CMOS gate drivers instead of dedicated high-current ICs. |
| TO-220AB with isolated tab | Enables direct mechanical mounting to heatsink while maintaining electrical isolation-no insulating washer needed for basic thermal management. |
Applications
| AC-DC Adapter Primary Switch | Industrial LED Driver Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12 W–30 W universal-input (85–265 VAC) flyback converter powering consumer electronics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch controlling energy transfer from primary to secondary side during each PWM cycle. Use Value: 400 V rating accommodates peak line voltage + margin; 50 mΩ RDS(on) keeps conduction loss below 0.8 W at full load. | Use Scenario: Constant-current LED driver for street lighting with 300–400 V DC bus derived from rectified AC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch regulating current through LED string via PWM dimming or analog control. Use Value: Avalanche rating ensures survival during LED open-circuit transients; SOA supports 100 µs pulses at full bus voltage. |
| Offline Motor Control | Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI) |
Use Scenario: Low-power BLDC fan controller using discrete half-bridge with bootstrap gate drive. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switching element in inverter leg, synchronized to commutation timing signals. Use Value: Fast toff (45 ns) minimizes dead-time losses; low Qg reduces gate drive power in battery-powered systems. | Use Scenario: High-voltage pulse generator for small-engine ignition systems, discharging 1–2 µF capacitor into spark coil. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage switch triggering rapid capacitor discharge across primary winding. Use Value: 400 V rating exceeds typical CDI bus voltages (300–350 V); EAS > 150 mJ handles repetitive discharge stress. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP4NK40Z | 400 V VDS, 3.5 A ID, 1.2 Ω RDS(on) - higher on-resistance, lower current rating | Lower efficiency in continuous conduction mode; limited to <10 W output in flyback designs | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency, and thermal budget permits higher RDS(on). |
| FQP4N40 | 400 V VDS, 4.0 A ID, 1.2 Ω RDS(on), Qg = 22 nC - similar gate drive but higher conduction loss | Higher conduction loss limits usable duty cycle in high-duty applications like forward converters | Acceptable for intermittent-duty or low-frequency (<60 kHz) switching where thermal margin exists. |
Compared with STP4NK40Z and FQP4N40, IRFC3004EB delivers significantly lower conduction loss (50 mΩ vs. >1.2 Ω) and faster switching, enabling higher efficiency and power density in compact 20–30 W offline converters without compromising ruggedness.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for IRFC3004EB?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (TJ) is 150 °C. Operation above this value risks permanent degradation of the silicon die and bond wires. Derating curves in the datasheet define allowable ID versus TC; at TC = 100 °C, continuous current drops to 2.1 A to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C.
Is IRFC3004EB suitable for use in synchronous rectification?
No. IRFC3004EB is a standard-threshold N-channel MOSFET with VGS(th) ≥ 2.0 V and no integrated body diode optimization for reverse conduction. Its relatively high RDS(on) and lack of low-Qrr specification make it unsuitable for secondary-side synchronous rectification in LLC or resonant converters.
Does IRFC3004EB have a built-in ESD protection diode on the gate?
No. The device does not integrate gate-oxide ESD protection. External Zener clamping (e.g., 12 V TVS between gate and source) is recommended in automated assembly environments or systems exposed to handling electrostatic discharge, especially when gate traces exceed 2 cm in length.
Can IRFC3004EB be paralleled with identical units for higher current handling?
Yes, but only with careful attention to layout symmetry and gate drive matching. The positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) provides inherent current sharing, yet mismatched parasitic inductance or gate resistance can cause dynamic imbalance. Use individual 10 Ω gate resistors and Kelvin-source routing to ensure stable parallel operation up to 6 A total.
