Product details
Overview
IRFIBC40G from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 3.5 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220 FULLPAK package with 1.2 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 60 nC total gate charge, and 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating - designed for high-voltage AC/DC flyback and offline SMPS primary-side switching where creepage >4.8 mm and thermal reliability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the IRFIBC40G datasheet, IRFIBC40G pinout, IRFIBC40G application, or IRFIBC40G equivalent, this device is selected for isolated high-voltage switch applications requiring verified dV/dt immunity (3.0 V/ns), low RthJC (3.1 °C/W), and avalanche-rated operation (500 mJ single-pulse) without external insulation hardware.
Technical Context
The IRFIBC40G integrates an isolated TO-220 FULLPAK structure with molded compound providing 2.5 kVRMS isolation and thermal resistance of 3.1 °C/W junction-to-case - eliminating need for mica washers or insulating pads. Its body diode exhibits 470–940 ns reverse recovery time and 4.0–7.9 μC Qrr, supporting moderate-frequency hard-switched topologies.
It operates across -55 to +150 °C junction temperature range with ±20 V gate-source voltage rating, 600 V drain-source breakdown, and dynamic dV/dt capability up to 3.0 V/ns - enabling robust performance in noisy industrial mains-connected circuits without gate clamping.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 600 V - supports 400 VAC input rectified systems with 50 % safety margin |
| RDS(on) | 1.2 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - enables <3.5 A continuous conduction with ≤15 W conduction loss at TC = 100 °C |
| Qg | 60 nC - determines gate drive power requirement (~1.8 mW per MHz at 10 V drive) |
| EAS | 500 mJ - allows unclamped inductive switching survival in flyback snubberless designs |
| RthJC | 3.1 °C/W - permits 40 W dissipation with ≤125 °C case-to-ambient ΔT using standard heatsink |
| dV/dt | 3.0 V/ns - withstands fast transients in EMI-prone industrial environments without spurious turn-on |
| ID (TC = 100 °C) | 2.2 A - defines maximum sustained current under real-world heatsink-limited thermal conditions |
Pinout & Package
IRFIBC40G uses the TO-220 FULLPAK package: isolated plastic housing with integral heatsink tab, 3-pin through-hole configuration, 15.87 mm length, 10.10 mm width, and 4.70 mm height. The tab is electrically connected to the drain and provides both thermal path and high-voltage isolation barrier.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; threshold 2.0–4.0 V; ±100 nA leakage ensures low standby power |
| D (Drain) | High-voltage power input | Connected to heatsink tab; rated 600 V; carries full load current and avalanche energy |
| S (Source) | Power return / reference node | Common return for gate drive and load; body diode anode; requires Kelvin connection for accurate sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2.5 kVRMS isolation (60 s) | Eliminates external insulating hardware in commercial-industrial SMPS, reducing BOM count and assembly cost |
| Sink-to-lead creepage = 4.8 mm | Meets IEC/UL 60950-1 reinforced insulation requirements for 300 VAC working voltage |
| Low RthJC = 3.1 °C/W | Enables direct mounting to heatsink with single screw/clip, achieving higher power density than standard TO-220 |
| Dynamic dV/dt rating = 3.0 V/ns | Prevents false triggering during fast transient events in high-noise line-connected applications |
| Single-pulse avalanche energy = 500 mJ | Supports reliable operation in unclamped inductive switching without external snubbers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage isolated MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP6NK60ZFP | 600 V, 6 A, RDS(on) = 1.2 Ω, but non-isolated TO-220FP; no 2.5 kVRMS rating or creepage control | Requires external insulation hardware for reinforced isolation; unsuitable for space-constrained certified designs | Select only when board layout allows separate insulator and thermal pad; not drop-in for IRFIBC40G footprint |
| FQP4N60C | 600 V, 4 A, RDS(on) = 1.6 Ω, TO-220 non-isolated; lower Qg (35 nC) but no dV/dt or avalanche specs published | Lacks isolation and creepage data; not qualified for safety-critical mains-connected use | Acceptable only in non-certified, low-risk DC-fed applications; verify thermal derating separately |
Compared with STP6NK60ZFP and FQP4N60C, the IRFIBC40G uniquely delivers integrated 2.5 kVRMS isolation, 4.8 mm creepage, and documented 3.0 V/ns dV/dt immunity - making it the only option among the three qualified for compact, safety-certified offline SMPS without added insulation layers.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFIBC40G at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFIBC40G supports 2.2 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal derating from the 3.5 A rating at 25 °C and must be used for thermal design validation in real-world heatsink-limited conditions. The IRFIBC40G's 3.1 °C/W RthJC enables this current level with appropriate heatsinking.
Does IRFIBC40G require external insulation when mounted to a metal heatsink?
No - the IRFIBC40G's TO-220 FULLPAK package provides 2.5 kVRMS isolation between drain (heatsink tab) and source/gate terminals, eliminating the need for mica washers or silicone pads. Its 4.8 mm sink-to-lead creepage meets reinforced insulation requirements, making the IRFIBC40G suitable for direct-mount applications in certified power supplies.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRFIBC40G?
The IRFIBC40G has a gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2.0 V to 4.0 V at TJ = 25 °C and ID = 250 μA. This logic-compatible range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while maintaining noise immunity. The IRFIBC40G does not qualify as a "logic-level" MOSFET per Vishay's definition (which requires VGS(th) ≤ 2.5 V max).
Can IRFIBC40G be used in avalanche mode repeatedly?
The IRFIBC40G is rated for repetitive avalanche current (IAR) of 3.5 A and repetitive avalanche energy (EAR) of 4.0 mJ, confirming designed capability for controlled repetitive avalanche operation. However, each event must remain within pulse width and duty cycle limits defined in the datasheet (Fig. 11), and the IRFIBC40G's junction temperature must stay below 150 °C to avoid degradation.
What is the body diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of IRFIBC40G?
The IRFIBC40G specifies a body diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of 4.0 μC (typical) to 7.9 μC (max) at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 6.2 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. This parameter directly impacts switching loss and EMI in synchronous or freewheeling configurations; designers should account for Qrr in gate driver sizing and snubber design for the IRFIBC40G.
