Product details
Overview
IRFI620 from Vishay Siliconix is a 200 V, 4.1 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220 FULLPAK package with isolated tab, 0.80 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating-designed for high-voltage AC/DC power supplies, motor control circuits, and solid-state relay replacements where creepage and thermal management are critical.
For engineers reviewing the IRFI620 datasheet, IRFI620 pinout, IRFI620 application, or IRFI620 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal resistance (RthJC = 4.1 °C/W), avalanche energy rating (EAS = 100 mJ), gate charge profile (Qg = 14 nC), and TO-220 FULLPAK terminal mapping to support layout, safety certification, and rugged switching design.
Technical Context
This third-generation power MOSFET uses planar VDMOS technology optimized for fast switching and high dV/dt immunity (5.0 V/ns peak diode recovery). Its isolated TO-220 FULLPAK package integrates a high-dielectric molding compound enabling 2.5 kVRMS isolation without external insulation hardware.
The device features low thermal resistance from junction to case (4.1 °C/W), supports repetitive avalanche operation up to 4.1 A, and includes an integral body diode with trr = 150–300 ns and Qrr = 0.91–1.8 μC-critical for snubberless inductive load switching in industrial controls.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 200 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines use in 170 VAC rectified bus and 100–150 VDC systems. |
| RDS(on) | 0.80 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Conduction loss of 8.5 W at 4.1 A continuous; enables compact heatsink sizing in <30 W power stages. |
| Qg | 14 nC - Total gate charge determines driver strength requirement; compatible with standard 1-A peak gate drivers. |
| EAS | 100 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; allows safe unclamped inductive switching in relay replacement and solenoid drive. |
| RthJC | 4.1 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct mounting to heatsink with clip or M3 screw for stable TJ ≤ 150 °C. |
| ID (TC = 100 °C) | 2.6 A - Derated continuous current at 100 °C case temperature; defines usable current envelope in enclosed industrial enclosures. |
| VGS(th) | 2.0–4.0 V - Gate threshold range confirms standard logic-level compatibility; ensures turn-on with 5 V microcontroller GPIOs. |
Pinout & Package
IRFI620 is housed in a TO-220 FULLPAK package with electrically isolated metal tab (drain-connected), 3-pin through-hole configuration, and 4.8 mm sink-to-lead creepage distance. The molded compound provides 2.5 kVRMS isolation (60 s, 60 Hz) equivalent to a 100 µm mica barrier.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Lead 1 (left) | Source (S) | Low-side return path; connects directly to PCB ground plane or source trace; carries full load current. |
| Lead 2 (center) | Drain (D) | High-voltage output node; internally bonded to isolated metal tab; requires no insulating washer when mounted to heatsink. |
| Lead 3 (right) | Gate (G) | Control input; high-impedance MOS gate requiring <100 nA leakage; sensitive to ESD and ringing-requires local RC snubber. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Isolated TO-220 FULLPAK package | Eliminates need for mica washers or silicone pads-reduces assembly cost and thermal interface resistance by ~30% vs. standard TO-220. |
| 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating | Meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 60950-1 and IEC 62368-1 for primary-secondary barrier in offline SMPS. |
| Dynamic dV/dt immunity | 5.0 V/ns rated peak diode recovery dV/dt-prevents false turn-on during fast voltage transients in half-bridge or flyback topologies. |
| Low RthJC (4.1 °C/W) | Enables >25 W continuous dissipation with passive heatsinking-supports fanless designs in industrial HMI and PLC modules. |
| Repetitive avalanche capability | Rated for 4.1 A IAR and 3.0 mJ EAR-permits robust operation under short-circuit or overload without external protection circuitry. |
Applications
| AC/DC Power Supply Primary Switch | Solid-State Relay Replacement |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-voltage switch in 20–50 W offline flyback converters operating from 85–265 VAC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch controlling energy transfer from primary to secondary; operates at 65–130 kHz with hard-switched PWM.

Use Scenario: Half-bridge high-side switch in 12–48 V brushed motor drives for factory automation actuators and conveyor systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side power switch controlled via bootstrap gate driver; commutates motor current with 10–20 kHz PWM. Use Value: 0.80 Ω RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <1.4 W at 4.1 A-enabling thermally efficient operation without forced air cooling. | Use Scenario: Unclamped inductive load driver for 24 VDC solenoids in pneumatic valve manifolds and fluid control systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-ended switch absorbing stored inductor energy via intrinsic avalanche capability during turn-off. Use Value: 100 mJ EAS and 4.1 A IAR allow repeated solenoid cycling without external TVS or freewheeling diodes-reducing component count and failure points. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP20NM20 | 200 V, 20 A, RDS(on) = 0.12 Ω, non-isolated TO-220, higher current but larger die size and no isolation. | Requires external insulation hardware for reinforced isolation; better suited for high-current, low-loss DC-DC stages than AC mains switching. | Select STP20NM20 only when isolation is handled at board level and >10 A continuous current is required. |
| IRFIBF20G | 200 V, 4.1 A, RDS(on) = 0.80 Ω, same TO-220 FULLPAK isolation, but with improved 150 °C max TJ rating and tighter VGS(th) distribution. | Drop-in replacement with identical pinout and footprint; preferred for new designs requiring extended temperature margin and reduced gate drive variability. | IRFIBF20G offers enhanced reliability for long-life industrial deployments-no PCB changes needed if upgrading from IRFI620. |
Compared with STP20NM20 and IRFIBF20G, the IRFI620 provides certified 2.5 kVRMS isolation in a cost-optimized package ideal for safety-critical AC mains interfaces, while IRFIBF20G extends thermal and parametric consistency without layout impact.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFI620 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFI620 supports 2.6 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits imposed by its 4.1 °C/W junction-to-case resistance and 150 °C maximum junction temperature. Designers must verify heatsink performance to maintain TC ≤ 100 °C when operating near this limit in IRFI620-based power stages.
Does IRFI620 require external insulation when mounted to a heatsink?
No, the IRFI620 does not require external insulation when mounted to a heatsink because its TO-220 FULLPAK package features an electrically isolated metal tab rated for 2.5 kVRMS isolation. This eliminates the need for mica washers or silicone pads, reducing thermal interface resistance and simplifying mechanical assembly-confirmed in Vishay's S21-0973 datasheet section "Isolated package" and "Sink to lead creepage distance = 4.8 mm".
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRFI620, and how does it affect microcontroller compatibility?
The IRFI620 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2.0–4.0 V at ID = 250 µA, making it fully compatible with standard 5 V logic-level microcontrollers and gate drivers. This ensures reliable turn-on with typical GPIO outputs, though designers should account for the upper bound (4.0 V) when selecting pull-up resistors or designing for worst-case VGS margin in IRFI620 circuits.
Can IRFI620 be used in avalanche mode, and what are its rated avalanche parameters?
Yes, the IRFI620 is rated for both single-pulse and repetitive avalanche operation. It specifies 100 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) and 4.1 A repetitive avalanche current (IAR) with 3.0 mJ repetitive energy (EAR). These values enable robust unclamped inductive switching in solenoid drivers and relay replacements without external clamping components-per Vishay's test conditions in section "ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS".
What is the drain-source capacitance profile of IRFI620, and why does it matter for switching speed?
The IRFI620 exhibits Ciss = 260 pF, Coss = 100 pF, and Crss = 30 pF at VDS = 25 V, defining its dynamic behavior during switching transitions. Low Crss minimizes Miller effect-induced gate oscillation, while moderate Ciss enables fast turn-on with standard 1-A gate drivers-critical for achieving <30 ns rise/fall times in IRFI620-based PWM circuits without excessive gate drive power.
