Product details
Overview
IRFI830G from Vishay Siliconix is a 500 V, 3.1 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220 FULLPAK package with isolated tab, 1.5 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 38 nC total gate charge, and 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating - used in high-voltage AC/DC flyback and offline SMPS primary-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the IRFI830G datasheet, IRFI830G pinout, IRFI830G application, or IRFI830G equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal performance data, body diode recovery metrics (trr = 320–640 ns), and real-world mounting guidance for heatsink-integrated designs requiring reinforced isolation and avalanche ruggedness.
Technical Context
This third-generation high-voltage MOSFET features an isolated TO-220 FULLPAK package enabling direct heatsink mounting without mica insulators, delivering 3.6 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and 4.8 mm sink-to-lead creepage. Its 500 V VDS rating and 180 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy support robust operation in unclamped inductive switching.
The device exhibits dynamic dV/dt immunity up to 3.5 V/ns, low internal source/drain inductance (LS = 7.5 nH, LD = 4.5 nH), and integrated body diode with 1.6 V forward drop at 3.1 A - optimized for hard-switched topologies where diode reverse recovery and gate drive loss are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 500 V - supports primary-side switching in 230 VAC offline converters with ≥1.5× safety margin. |
| RDS(on) | 1.5 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - enables <3.1 A continuous conduction with ≤14.5 W conduction loss at TC = 25 °C. |
| Qg | 38 nC - determines gate driver current requirement (~1.6 A peak for 25 ns rise time with 12 Ω gate resistor). |
| EAS | 180 mJ - allows safe operation under unclamped inductive load conditions without external snubbers. |
| RthJC | 3.6 °C/W - enables 35 W power dissipation with ≤126 °C junction rise above 25 °C case temperature. |
| trr | 320–640 ns - defines minimum dead-time requirements in half-bridge configurations to avoid shoot-through. |
| VGS(th) | 2.0–4.0 V - ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while rejecting noise below 2 V. |
Pinout & Package
IRFI830G uses the TO-220 FULLPAK package: isolated metal tab (drain-connected), 3-pin through-hole outline (13.1 mm × 10.1 mm × 4.7 mm), with molded compound providing 2.5 kVRMS isolation and 4.8 mm creepage between drain tab and leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives voltage-controlled signal to modulate channel conductivity; requires 10 V for full enhancement. |
| D (Drain) | High-side power terminal | Connected internally to isolated metal tab; must be mounted to heatsink with electrically insulating interface. |
| S (Source) | Reference and return path | Common node for gate drive reference and load current return; establishes local ground for control circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Isolated TO-220 FULLPAK package | Eliminates need for mica washers or silicone pads - reduces thermal interface resistance by ~0.5 °C/W 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 AC/DC adapters. |
| Low RthJC = 3.6 °C/W | Enables higher power density in space-constrained industrial power supplies without forced air cooling. |
| Dynamic dV/dt immunity = 3.5 V/ns | Prevents false turn-on during fast voltage transients in high-frequency flyback and resonant converters. |
| Integrated body diode with trr = 320–640 ns | Supports synchronous rectification in secondary-side designs and enables quasi-resonant operation without external diodes. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP5NK50ZFP | 500 V, 4.5 A, RDS(on) = 1.4 Ω, but no isolation rating; TO-220FP package with non-isolated tab. | Requires external insulator for heatsink mounting; unsuitable where reinforced isolation is mandated. | Select only when isolation is handled at board level and higher current is needed. |
| FQP5N50CTU | 500 V, 4.5 A, RDS(on) = 1.4 Ω, TO-220 package, no isolation; lower Qg (29 nC) but no dV/dt rating. | Lacks specified dV/dt immunity and creepage distance; not certified for reinforced insulation. | Use only in non-safety-critical, low-cost consumer designs with adequate layout-based isolation. |
Compared with STP5NK50ZFP and FQP5N50CTU, the IRFI830G uniquely provides certified 2.5 kVRMS isolation and 4.8 mm creepage in a drop-in TO-220 footprint - eliminating insulator hardware while maintaining compliance with IEC 62368-1 Annex G.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFI830G at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFI830G supports 2.0 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-220 FULLPAK package and ensures junction temperature remains ≤150 °C under steady-state operation. The linear derating factor is 0.28 W/°C beyond 25 °C case temperature.
Does IRFI830G have a built-in body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, the IRFI830G integrates a body diode with typical forward voltage VSD = 1.6 V at IS = 3.1 A and TJ = 25 °C. Its reverse recovery time trr ranges from 320 ns to 640 ns, and reverse recovery charge Qrr is 1.0–2.0 μC - values critical for designing dead-time in synchronous or quasi-resonant topologies.
Can IRFI830G be used as a direct replacement for standard TO-220 MOSFETs without layout changes?
No - although IRFI830G shares the same outline dimensions as standard TO-220, its FULLPAK variant has an isolated drain tab requiring no insulating hardware, whereas standard TO-220 devices require mica/silicone pads. PCB pad design must accommodate the isolated tab connection, and heatsink mounting must maintain electrical isolation integrity.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRFI830G, and how does it affect drive requirements?
The IRFI830G has a gate-source threshold voltage VGS(th) of 2.0–4.0 V at ID = 250 μA. This range ensures compatibility with standard 10 V gate drivers while providing noise immunity against sub-2 V transients. Full enhancement requires ≥10 V VGS, and gate drive circuits must deliver sufficient current to charge 38 nC Qg within target switching times.
Is IRFI830G RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the ordering variant IRFI830GPbF is explicitly designated as lead-free and RoHS-compliant per Vishay documentation S21-0975-Rev. C. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements and supports standard reflow profiles with peak temperature up to 300 °C for 10 seconds.
