Product details
Overview
IRFD310PBF from Vishay Siliconix is a 400 V, 0.35 A N-channel power MOSFET in HVMDIP (4-pin DIP) package, featuring 3.6 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 17 nC total gate charge, and repetitive avalanche rating - designed for low-power AC/DC flyback snubber circuits, relay drivers, and solid-state switching in industrial controls.
For engineers reviewing the IRFD310PBF datasheet, IRFD310PBF pinout, IRFD310PBF application, or IRFD310PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400 V VDS, 1.0 W PD at TA = 25 °C, dV/dt immunity of 4.0 V/ns, body diode trr up to 540 ns, and HVMDIP through-hole mountability for high-voltage isolation.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Vishay's third-generation high-voltage power MOSFET family optimized for ruggedness and ease of paralleling. Its dual-drain HVMDIP package serves as a thermal link to the PCB, enabling 1 W dissipation without heatsink - critical for space-constrained board-level snubbers and low-duty-cycle switching.
The IRFD310PBF integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 240–540 ns, Qrr = 0.85–1.6 μC) and supports unclamped inductive switching with EAS = 46 mJ, making it suitable for energy recovery in flyback and boost converters where voltage overshoot must be clamped without external diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 400 V - supports mains-referenced switching up to 280 VRMS with safety margin |
| RDS(on) | 3.6 Ω max at VGS = 10 V - enables <1 W conduction loss at 0.35 A DC |
| Qg | 17 nC - low gate drive energy reduces controller loading in 20–100 kHz SMPS |
| EAS | 46 mJ - withstands single-pulse inductive energy without failure in snubberless designs |
| TJ Range | −55 to +150 °C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and telecom environments |
| dV/dt Rating | 4.0 V/ns - resists false turn-on in high-noise HV node switching |
| RthJA | 120 °C/W - defines thermal limit: ΔT = 120 °C at 1 W ambient dissipation |
Pinout & Package
HVMDIP (High-Voltage Mini-DIP) package: 4-pin through-hole, 0.1" pin pitch, dual drain leads (pins 1 & 4), gate (pin 2), source (pin 3); mold compound provides >4 mm creepage between drain and gate/source for 400 V isolation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Drain) | Main current path from drain to channel | Dual-drain configuration: pins 1 & 4 are internally connected - used together for thermal spreading and current sharing |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control electrode for channel formation | Low-threshold VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V enables direct drive from 5 V logic or microcontroller GPIO |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Reference node for gate control and current return | Source terminal referenced to PCB ground plane; internal source inductance LS = 6.0 nH affects high-dI/dt ringing |
| Pin 4 (Drain) | Second drain connection, electrically identical to Pin 1 | Provides redundant thermal path to mounting surface; required for full 1 W rating - both drains must be soldered |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Enables reliable operation under unclamped inductive load transients (IAR = 0.35 A, EAR = 0.10 mJ) without derating |
| Dynamic dV/dt rating | 4.0 V/ns immunity prevents spurious turn-on during fast voltage transitions in HV nodes |
| End stackable HVMDIP | Allows vertical stacking of multiple units on same PCB footprint for parallel current handling or redundancy |
| Fast switching | td(on) = 8 ns, tr = 9.9 ns, td(off) = 21 ns - supports efficient operation up to 200 kHz in low-power SMPS |
| Simple drive requirements | VGS(th) range (2.0–4.0 V) and low Qg (17 nC) allow direct microcontroller or optocoupler drive without buffer stage |
Applications
| AC/DC Flyback Snubber | Industrial Relay Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Absorbing leakage inductance energy in offline flyback converters operating at 60–100 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power MOSFET switch absorbing reflected voltage spikes via avalanche action and body diode conduction. Use Value: Eliminates need for external RC snubber by leveraging 46 mJ EAS and 400 V VDS, reducing BOM count and layout area. | Use Scenario: Driving 24 VDC or 120 VAC relays in PLC I/O modules with galvanic isolation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side or low-side switch controlling relay coil current with fast turn-off to suppress back-EMF. Use Value: Body diode trr ≤ 540 ns and dV/dt immunity prevent latch-up during coil de-energization in noisy industrial environments. |
| Low-Power Solid-State Switch | Overvoltage Protection Clamp |
Use Scenario: Replacing electromechanical switches in battery-powered test equipment requiring >100 k-cycle life. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Load switch managing 0.35 A DC loads with minimal on-resistance and no contact wear. Use Value: RDS(on) = 3.6 Ω ensures <0.44 W conduction loss at full current - compatible with 1 W thermal budget in compact enclosures. | Use Scenario: Clamping transient overvoltages on 24–48 V DC rails in motor drives or PoE injectors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Avalanche-rated clamp device conducting surge current until TVS or crowbar activates. Use Value: Repetitive avalanche rating (IAR = 0.35 A) allows sustained clamping without degradation - unlike standard MOSFETs that fail after first event. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP3NK60ZFP | 600 V VDS, 3.0 Ω RDS(on), TO-92 package, no avalanche rating | Lacks repetitive avalanche capability; higher VDS margin but lower thermal performance (RthJA ≈ 150 °C/W) | Prefer when higher voltage headroom is needed and avalanche stress is absent |
| IRF820PBF | 500 V VDS, 3.0 Ω RDS(on), TO-220 package, 1.5 W PD, no dV/dt spec | Higher power rating but requires heatsink; larger footprint and no specified dV/dt immunity | Choose when >1 W continuous dissipation is required and board space permits TO-220 mounting |
Compared with STP3NK60ZFP and IRF820PBF, the IRFD310PBF offers unique combination of HVMDIP mountability, 4.0 V/ns dV/dt rating, and certified repetitive avalanche behavior - making it optimal for compact, noise-immune, low-power snubbing where thermal and layout constraints dominate.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFD310PBF at 100 °C ambient temperature?
The IRFD310PBF supports 0.22 A continuous drain current at TA = 100 °C, per its absolute maximum ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the HVMDIP package with RthJA = 120 °C/W. At 25 °C ambient, the rating rises to 0.35 A. Designers must verify junction temperature using actual board layout and airflow conditions before finalizing IRFD310PBF usage in thermally constrained applications.
Does IRFD310PBF have a specified body diode reverse recovery time?
Yes, the IRFD310PBF datasheet specifies body diode reverse recovery time trr as 240–540 ns (typ./max) at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 2.0 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. This parameter is critical for snubberless flyback and synchronous rectification designs where diode switching losses impact efficiency. The associated Qrr is 0.85–1.6 μC, directly influencing voltage overshoot during turn-off.
Can IRFD310PBF be used in avalanche mode repeatedly?
Yes, the IRFD310PBF is explicitly rated for repetitive avalanche operation: IAR = 0.35 A and EAR = 0.10 mJ, with pulse width limited by junction temperature. This capability is validated per Figure 12 and Note a in the datasheet. It enables reliable use in unclamped inductive switching without external protection - a key differentiator versus non-avalanche-rated MOSFETs like many TO-92 devices.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRFD310PBF?
The gate-source threshold voltage VGS(th) for IRFD310PBF is specified as 2.0–4.0 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This range ensures compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families while maintaining noise margin. The typical value is ~3.0 V, and designers should size gate drive accordingly to guarantee full enhancement across process and temperature variation.
Is IRFD310PBF lead (Pb)-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, IRFD310PBF is lead-free and RoHS compliant, as confirmed by the "PbF" suffix and Vishay's material categorization documentation (www.vishay.com/doc?99912). The device meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is manufactured using Pb-free terminations and halogen-free molding compounds. Full compliance documentation is available under Vishay document number 91133.
