Product details
Overview
IRFIB7N50LPBF from Vishay Siliconix is a 500 V, 6.8 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220 FULLPAK package, featuring 0.32 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 92 nC total gate charge, and enhanced dV/dt ruggedness (24 V/ns) for zero-voltage switching SMPS and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRFIB7N50LPBF datasheet, IRFIB7N50LPBF pinout, IRFIB7N50LPBF application, or IRFIB7N50LPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche energy rating (550 mJ), super-fast body diode recovery (85–130 ns trr), gate threshold voltage range (3.0–5.0 V), and thermal resistance (RthJC = 2.69 °C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a planar silicon process with optimized cell layout to achieve high dV/dt immunity and low Qgd/Qg ratio (44/92 nC), supporting robust ZVS operation. Its elevated VGS(th) minimizes false turn-on in noisy environments.
The integrated body diode exhibits fast reverse recovery (Qrr = 280–420 nC at 25 °C) and low forward voltage (VSD = 1.5 V at 6.8 A), eliminating external freewheeling diodes in resonant topologies.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP5NK50ZFP | 500 V, 4.5 A, RDS(on) = 0.58 Ω, Qg = 34 nC, TO-220FP package | Lower current rating and higher on-resistance; lower gate charge enables faster switching but reduced conduction efficiency | Prefer for space-constrained designs where gate drive simplicity outweighs conduction loss |
| IXTH7N50L | 500 V, 7.0 A, RDS(on) = 0.30 Ω, Qg = 85 nC, TO-247 package | Higher current and slightly lower RDS(on); TO-247 offers better thermal performance but larger footprint | Choose when junction temperature must stay below 130 °C under sustained 7 A load |
Compared with IRFIB7N50LPBF, STP5NK50ZFP trades conduction loss for gate drive simplicity, while IXTH7N50L provides marginally better thermal and current capability at the cost of board area and mounting complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFIB7N50LPBF at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFIB7N50LPBF supports 4.3 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-220 FULLPAK package and ensures safe operation within its 2.69 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance. Engineers must verify heatsink design to maintain case temperature at or below this limit during full-load operation. The IRFIB7N50LPBF datasheet confirms this value under standard test conditions with no additional derating factors applied.
Does IRFIB7N50LPBF have a lead-free finish and RoHS compliance?
Yes, the IRFIB7N50LPBF features a lead (Pb)-free finish and is RoHS compliant, as explicitly stated in the Product Summary and Ordering Information sections of the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 91177). The "PbF" suffix in the part number denotes lead-free packaging, and the device meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. This makes the IRFIB7N50LPBF suitable for environmentally regulated industrial and telecom equipment without requiring exemptions.
What is the typical body diode reverse recovery time (trr) of IRFIB7N50LPBF at 125 °C junction temperature?
The IRFIB7N50LPBF exhibits a body diode reverse recovery time (trr) of 130–200 ns at TJ = 125 °C, per the Specifications table under Drain-Source Body Diode Characteristics. This value is measured at IF = 6.8 A and dI/dt = 100 A/µs. The increase from 85–130 ns at 25 °C reflects temperature-dependent carrier lifetime extension. This trr enables reliable ZVS operation in high-frequency resonant converters even under elevated thermal stress. The IRFIB7N50LPBF maintains consistent diode behavior across its rated temperature range.
Can IRFIB7N50LPBF be used in avalanche mode for clamping protection?
Yes, the IRFIB7N50LPBF is rated for both single-pulse (EAS = 550 mJ) and repetitive (EAR = 4.6 mJ) avalanche operation, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. It supports controlled avalanche under inductive load conditions without degradation when operated within specified limits (IAR = 6.8 A, pulse width ≤ 300 µs, duty cycle ≤ 2 %). Designers must ensure junction temperature remains ≤150 °C during avalanche events. The IRFIB7N50LPBF's ruggedness makes it suitable for overvoltage protection in motor drives and SMPS without external snubbers.
What is the gate-source leakage current specification for IRFIB7N50LPBF?
The gate-source leakage current (IGSS) for IRFIB7N50LPBF is specified as ±100 nA maximum at VGS = ±30 V and TJ = 25 °C, per the Static Electrical Characteristics table. This low leakage ensures minimal gate drive current demand and stable turn-off behavior in high-impedance gate drive circuits. The IRFIB7N50LPBF maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range, supporting reliable operation in precision timing and low-power control applications where gate leakage could affect switching thresholds.
