Product details
Overview
IRFIBE20G from Vishay Siliconix is an 800 V, 1.4 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220 FULLPAK package with isolated construction, 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating (60 s), 6.5 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 38 nC total gate charge. It serves as a high-voltage switching element in offline SMPS, AC-DC adapters, and industrial power supplies requiring reinforced insulation.
For engineers reviewing the IRFIBE20G datasheet, IRFIBE20G pinout, IRFIBE20G application, or IRFIBE20G equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal resistance data (RthJC = 4.1 °C/W), avalanche energy rating (EAS = 180 mJ), and isolation-critical design context for high-reliability 600–800 V systems.
Technical Context
This third-generation high-voltage MOSFET features a fully isolated TO-220 FULLPAK package enabling direct heatsink mounting without mica insulators-achieving 4.8 mm sink-to-lead creepage and 2.5 kVRMS isolation. Its ruggedized structure supports unclamped inductive switching with repetitive avalanche current IAR = 1.4 A and peak dV/dt immunity of 2.0 V/ns.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 380–570 ns, Qrr = 0.94–1.4 μC) and exhibits low internal inductance (LD = 4.5 nH, LS = 7.5 nH), supporting clean switching waveforms in hard-switched topologies. Gate charge profile (Qgd/Qg = 55 %) indicates strong Miller immunity for stable operation at high bus voltages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 800 V - Supports primary-side switching in universal-input offline converters up to 650 V DC bus with margin. |

| Qg | 38 nC - Determines gate drive power requirement; compatible with standard 10 V logic-level drivers. |
| EAS | 180 mJ - Specifies single-pulse avalanche energy handling capability during inductive turn-off faults. |
| RthJC | 4.1 °C/W - Enables efficient heat transfer from junction to heatsink; allows 30 W continuous dissipation at TC = 25 °C. |
| Isolation | 2.5 kVRMS (60 s) - Meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC/UL 62368-1 for primary-secondary barrier in AC-DC power supplies. |
| trr | 380–570 ns - Body diode recovery time impacts switching loss and EMI in flyback/LLC freewheeling paths. |
Pinout & Package
IRFIBE20G uses the TO-220 FULLPAK package: insulated plastic body with electrically isolated metal tab (drain), 3-lead through-hole configuration (G-D-S), 4.8 mm minimum creepage between drain tab and source/ground leads, and 15.87 mm nominal length. Mounting requires single M3 screw (0.6 Nm torque) or clip.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control input | Receives 10 V logic-level signal; threshold voltage 2.0–4.0 V enables compatibility with standard PWM controllers. |
| D (Drain) | High-voltage switch node | Connected to insulated tab; carries full 800 V blocking voltage and load current; thermally coupled to heatsink. |
| S (Source) | Power return / reference | Common return path for gate drive and load current; electrically isolated from drain tab by molding compound. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Isolated TO-220 FULLPAK | Eliminates need for external insulating hardware-reduces BOM count and assembly steps in commercial-industrial power supplies. |
| 2.5 kVRMS isolation | Provides reinforced insulation barrier equivalent to 100 µm mica, meeting safety standards without additional creepage/clearance design overhead. |
| Low RthJC (4.1 °C/W) | Enables higher power density by improving thermal coupling between die and heatsink versus standard TO-220. |
| Dynamic dV/dt rating (2.0 V/ns) | Ensures reliable turn-off under fast-rising voltage transients common in high-frequency flyback and resonant converters. |
| Unclamped avalanche rated | Guarantees robustness against inductive switching faults without external snubbers-critical for cost-sensitive adapter designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP8NK80ZFP | 800 V, 7.5 Ω RDS(on), 32 nC Qg, TO-220FP (non-isolated) | Requires external insulator; lower gate charge reduces drive loss but lacks certified isolation. | Select when board layout permits added insulation and lower gate drive power is prioritized over safety certification simplicity. |
| FQP8N80C | 800 V, 7.0 Ω RDS(on), 42 nC Qg, TO-220 (non-isolated) | No isolation rating; higher Qg increases gate drive losses; no avalanche energy spec provided. | Choose only for non-safety-critical, cost-driven applications where creepage/clearance is managed via PCB layout alone. |
Compared with STP8NK80ZFP and FQP8N80C, the IRFIBE20G uniquely provides factory-certified 2.5 kVRMS isolation in a drop-in TO-220 footprint-reducing compliance risk and simplifying thermal/mechanical design for medical, industrial, and consumer power supplies requiring reinforced insulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for IRFIBE20G at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFIBE20G has a continuous drain current rating of 0.86 A at TC = 100 °C, derated linearly from 1.4 A at 25 °C using a factor of 0.24 W/°C. This reflects its thermal limit under sustained conduction in compact heatsink environments. The IRFIBE20G datasheet specifies this value in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and confirms it with thermal resistance RthJC = 4.1 °C/W.
Does IRFIBE20G require external insulation when mounted to a heatsink?
No, the IRFIBE20G does not require external insulation when mounted to a heatsink because its TO-220 FULLPAK package incorporates molded isolation capable of 2.5 kVRMS (60 s). The drain tab is electrically isolated from source and gate leads, enabling direct metal-to-metal contact with grounded heatsinks in safety-compliant designs. This feature is explicitly confirmed in the Vishay S21-0976 datasheet.
What is the body diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr) specification for IRFIBE20G?
The IRFIBE20G body diode reverse recovery charge is specified as 0.94–1.4 μC at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 1.8 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. This parameter directly impacts switching loss and EMI in freewheeling paths. The value appears in the "Drain-Source Body Diode Characteristics" section of the official Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 91183), confirming its test conditions and tolerance range.
Can IRFIBE20G be used in avalanche-mode operation, and what is its repetitive avalanche energy rating?
Yes, the IRFIBE20G is rated for repetitive avalanche operation with IAR = 1.4 A and EAR = 3.0 mJ. These values are defined under specific pulse conditions (pulse width ≤ 300 μs, duty cycle ≤ 2 %) and are validated per Vishay's test methodology. The IRFIBE20G datasheet includes both single-pulse (EAS = 180 mJ) and repetitive avalanche ratings, making it suitable for inductive load switching without external snubbers.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for IRFIBE20G, and how does it affect drive compatibility?
The IRFIBE20G gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 2.0 V to 4.0 V at ID = 250 μA, ensuring reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while maintaining noise immunity. This range is verified in the "SPECIFICATIONS" table of the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 91183). The IRFIBE20G is not a logic-level MOSFET, so 5 V microcontroller outputs alone cannot fully enhance the device; a level-shifted or buffered gate drive is required.
