Product details
Overview
IRFIBE20GPBF from Vishay Siliconix is an isolated high-voltage N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220 FULLPAK package, rated for 800 V drain-source voltage, 6.5 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 2.5 kVRMS isolation (60 s, 60 Hz), designed for high-reliability flyback and offline SMPS primary-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the IRFIBE20GPBF datasheet, IRFIBE20GPBF pinout, IRFIBE20GPBF application, or IRFIBE20GPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its isolated package eliminating external insulation hardware, 4.8 mm sink-to-lead creepage, and validated avalanche energy rating of 180 mJ under unclamped inductive conditions.
Technical Context
This third-generation power MOSFET integrates a monolithic silicon die with internal source/drain inductance (LS = 7.5 nH, LD = 4.5 nH) and features a dynamic dV/dt rating of 2.0 V/ns, enabling robust operation in fast-switching high-voltage topologies. Its gate charge profile shows Qg = 38 nC, Qgd = 21 nC, and Qgs = 5.0 nC, supporting predictable turn-on/turn-off timing with 8.2 ns delay and 27 ns fall time under standard test conditions.
The device's thermal design leverages low junction-to-case resistance (RthJC = 4.1 °C/W) and high-voltage isolation equivalent to a 100 µm mica barrier, allowing direct mounting to heatsinks via single-screw or clip fixation without insulating washers. Its body diode exhibits trr = 380–570 ns and Qrr = 0.94–1.4 µC at IF = 1.8 A, dI/dt = 100 A/µs, supporting moderate-frequency synchronous rectification or snubberless operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 800 V - supports primary-side switching in universal-input offline converters up to 380 V DC bus. |
| RDS(on) | 6.5 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - defines conduction loss in continuous current mode; enables 1.4 A continuous drain at TC = 25 °C. |
| Qg | 38 nC - determines gate drive power requirement and switching speed control; compatible with standard 18 Ω gate resistors. |
| Isolation Voltage | 2.5 kVRMS, 60 s - eliminates need for external isolation hardware in commercial-industrial AC/DC supplies. |
| EAS | 180 mJ - specifies single-pulse avalanche ruggedness under unclamped inductive load, critical for transformer leakage energy handling. |
| trr | 380–570 ns - body diode recovery time constrains maximum operating frequency when used in quasi-resonant or ZVS topologies. |
| PD | 30 W @ TC = 25 °C - sets thermal derating envelope; linear derating factor 0.24 W/°C allows ~12.5 W at TC = 100 °C. |
Pinout & Package
IRFIBE20GPBF uses the TO-220 FULLPAK package - a molded, isolated variant of TO-220 with integrated high-dielectric-strength compound, 4.8 mm minimum creepage between sink and leads, and exposed copper tab serving as drain terminal. Mounting requires only one M3 screw (0.6 N·m torque) or clip, with no additional insulator needed.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control input | Receives 10 V logic-level gate drive; threshold VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V ensures reliable turn-on with standard drivers. |
| D (Drain) | Main high-side current path | Connected internally to exposed copper tab; serves as thermal and electrical drain node; must be electrically isolated from heatsink via package molding. |
| S (Source) | Reference and return path | Provides low-impedance return for gate drive and load current; body diode anode; referenced to system ground in common-source configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Isolated TO-220 FULLPAK | Eliminates external insulation hardware and reduces BOM count in commercial-industrial AC/DC adapters and power supplies. |
| 2.5 kVRMS isolation | Validated per IEC 60747-5-2; enables compliance with reinforced insulation requirements without added barriers or spacing. |
| Low RthJC = 4.1 °C/W | Enables efficient heat transfer from die to heatsink, supporting higher power density than standard TO-220 with mica + sil-pad. |
| Dynamic dV/dt = 2.0 V/ns | Ensures immunity to false triggering during high dv/dt transients in high-voltage switching nodes. |
| Unclamped avalanche rating | 180 mJ single-pulse energy tolerance provides margin against transformer leakage spikes in flyback converters. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW20NK80Z | 800 V, 0.55 Ω RDS(on), non-isolated TO-247; no certified isolation voltage. | Requires external isolation hardware (mica/sil-pad); higher conduction efficiency but larger footprint and assembly cost. | Choose when lower RDS(on) and higher current (>2 A) are prioritized over simplified thermal/mechanical integration. |
| IXTP2N80P | 800 V, 7.5 Ω RDS(on), non-isolated TO-220; RthJC = 3.5 °C/W, EAS = 120 mJ. | Lacks certified isolation; lower avalanche energy limits use in high-leakage transformers or poor-layout designs. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where external insulation is already implemented and thermal margin is sufficient. |
Compared with STW20NK80Z and IXTP2N80P, the IRFIBE20GPBF trades higher RDS(on) for integrated isolation, reduced assembly steps, and superior avalanche ruggedness-making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-critical, and medium-power offline SMPS where reliability and layout simplicity outweigh raw conduction efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFIBE20GPBF at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFIBE20GPBF supports 0.86 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, derived from its 1.4 A rating at 25 °C and linear derating factor of 0.24 W/°C. This value reflects thermal limitations under sustained conduction, not transient capability. Designers must verify junction temperature rise using RthJC = 4.1 °C/W and actual power dissipation in their layout. The IRFIBE20GPBF datasheet confirms this rating in Absolute Maximum Ratings Table.
Does IRFIBE20GPBF require external insulation when mounted to a heatsink?
No, the IRFIBE20GPBF does not require external insulation when mounted to a heatsink because its TO-220 FULLPAK package provides built-in 2.5 kVRMS isolation and 4.8 mm sink-to-lead creepage. The molding compound replaces the need for mica washers or silicone pads. Mounting uses a single M3 screw (0.6 N·m torque) directly to the heatsink, as confirmed in Vishay's Package Information document 91359. This feature is intrinsic to the IRFIBE20GPBF construction.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRFIBE20GPBF?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for IRFIBE20GPBF is specified as 2.0 V minimum to 4.0 V maximum at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 µA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while maintaining noise immunity. The IRFIBE20GPBF is not a logic-level device; it requires ≥10 V for full enhancement, as confirmed in the Static Characteristics table of datasheet 91183.
Can IRFIBE20GPBF be used in avalanche-mode operation?
Yes, the IRFIBE20GPBF is rated for repetitive avalanche operation with IAR = 1.4 A and EAR = 3.0 mJ, and single-pulse avalanche energy of 180 mJ. These values are validated per JEDEC standards and documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Specifications tables. Use in controlled avalanche requires careful attention to pulse width, duty cycle, and junction temperature limits-details confirmed for IRFIBE20GPBF in Figure 12 and related test conditions.
What is the body diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of IRFIBE20GPBF?
The body diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of IRFIBE20GPBF is specified as 0.94 µC typical and 1.4 µC maximum at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 1.8 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/µs. This parameter directly impacts switching losses and EMI in topologies where the body diode conducts, such as quasi-resonant flyback. The IRFIBE20GPBF datasheet reports Qrr in the Drain-Source Body Diode Characteristics section (page 2).
