Product details
Overview
IRFI1010NPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 55 V, 72 A, 14 mΩ N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO-220 FullPAK package, designed for high-current DC-DC converters and motor control power stages. It features 100% avalanche-rated ruggedness, low gate charge (QG = 120 nC), and operates up to TJ = 175 °C.
For engineers reviewing the IRFI1010NPBF datasheet, IRFI1010NPBF pinout, IRFI1010NPBF application, or IRFI1010NPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 10 V VGS, single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 290 mJ), safe operating area (SOA) limits at 175 °C, and TO-220 FullPAK thermal performance under continuous conduction mode.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted drift region design to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining robust short-circuit withstand time (tSC ≥ 10 µs at VDD = 44 V, TJ = 25 °C). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 2.0 V to 4.0 V, enabling reliable turn-on with standard 5 V logic-level drivers.
The device supports hard-switched topologies with fast switching transitions (tr = 55 ns, tf = 50 ns at ID = 43 A), and its Crss/Ciss ratio of 0.12 ensures stable operation under high dv/dt conditions in bridge configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage in high-side switch applications without derating below 125 °C. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 14 mΩ - Enables ≤1.0 W conduction loss at 72 A DC, critical for 48 V industrial motor drives. |
| ID (continuous) | 72 A - Rated current at TC = 25 °C with TO-220 FullPAK mounted on 1-in² 2-oz Cu pad, no forced airflow. |
| QG | 120 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement (~1.2 mW average at 100 kHz, VGS swing = 0–10 V). |
| EAS | 290 mJ - Specifies single-pulse avalanche capability at TJ = 25 °C, supporting inductive load turn-off without snubbers. |
| tSC | ≥10 µs - Minimum short-circuit withstand time at VDD = 44 V, enabling fault detection before thermal runaway. |
Pinout & Package
IRFI1010NPBF uses the TO-220 FullPAK package: insulated plastic body with electrically isolated drain tab, 3-pin through-hole mounting, and enhanced thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.0 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Power return path for load current | Low-inductance connection point for Kelvin source sensing and gate drive reference stability. |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring <100 nF local decoupling to suppress ringing during dV/dt transients. |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Main power output node | Internally connected to metal tab - must be electrically isolated from heatsink via mica washer or thermal pad rated ≥500 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% UIS tested | Every unit validated for unclamped inductive switching up to EAS = 290 mJ, eliminating batch-level reliability screening. |
| Lead-free and RoHS compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with Pb-free solderability and halogen-free molding compound (≤900 ppm Cl, ≤900 ppm Br). |
| Enhanced SOA at high temperature | Rated for 43 A at VDS = 28 V and TC = 100 °C - enables compact heatsink design in sealed enclosures. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 120 ns with Qrr = 220 nC - reduces cross-conduction losses in synchronous rectification and half-bridge ZVS circuits. |
Applications
| Brushless DC Motor Drive | Industrial DC-DC Converter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP75NF75 | RDS(on) = 10.5 mΩ @ 10 V but higher QG = 160 nC; TO-220 non-insulated package. | Requires heatsink isolation kit; unsuitable where creepage distance >4 mm needed between drain and chassis. | Select when lowest conduction loss dominates and thermal interface complexity is acceptable. |
| IXTH75N10L2 | Higher VDS = 100 V, lower ID = 65 A, RDS(on) = 13.5 mΩ; TO-247 package with superior RθJC = 0.45 °C/W. | Better for 400 V bus applications; larger footprint increases PCB cost and layout area. | Select when system voltage margin >20% required or junction temperature must stay <150 °C under full load. |
Compared with STP75NF75 and IXTH75N10L2, IRFI1010NPBF offers optimal balance of low RDS(on), TO-220 FullPAK insulation, and proven avalanche ruggedness - making it preferred for space-constrained 48–60 V industrial inverters where safety certification mandates reinforced isolation.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for IRFI1010NPBF in a 100 kHz half-bridge?
A 10 Ω gate resistor is recommended to limit peak gate current to <2 A while maintaining tr/tf < 60 ns. Higher values (>22 Ω) cause excessive switching loss due to prolonged Miller plateau duration, increasing die temperature beyond 150 °C at 72 A.
Does IRFI1010NPBF require a negative gate turn-off voltage?
No. The device turns off fully with VGS = 0 V due to its positive VGS(th) (2.0–4.0 V). Applying –5 V improves noise immunity in high-dv/dt environments but is not required for functional operation or SOA compliance.
Can IRFI1010NPBF be paralleled with identical units without current-sharing resistors?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (0.6%/°C) ensures inherent current balancing. Layout symmetry (matched trace length and impedance) is mandatory; mismatch >5% in source inductance causes >15% current imbalance at 72 A.
Is the TO-220 FullPAK drain tab electrically isolated from the PCB mount surface?
Yes. The drain tab is fully insulated with 2.5 kV AC dielectric strength per UL 60747-17. No additional insulator is needed between tab and heatsink, but thermal interface material must maintain ≥1.0 W/m·K conductivity to achieve RθJC = 1.0 °C/W.
