Product details
Overview
IRFIZ34G from Vishay Siliconix is a 60 V, 20 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220 FULLPAK package with 0.050 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature-designed for high-reliability DC-DC converters, motor drivers, and industrial power switches.
For engineers reviewing the IRFIZ34G datasheet, IRFIZ34G pinout, IRFIZ34G application, or IRFIZ34G equivalent, this device's isolated TO-220 FULLPAK construction, avalanche energy rating (300 mJ), and low thermal resistance (3.6 °C/W junction-to-case) are critical for heatsink-integrated switching designs requiring creepage >4.8 mm and robust dV/dt immunity (5.0 V/ns).
Technical Context
The IRFIZ34G employs a third-generation silicon process optimized for fast switching and rugged unclamped inductive switching, with dynamic dV/dt capability and integrated body diode characterized for trr = 120–230 ns and Qrr = 0.70–1.4 μC. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 46 nC, Qgd = 22 nC) supports efficient hard-switching up to 100 kHz in medium-power topologies.
Thermally, the TO-220 FULLPAK package delivers 3.6 °C/W RthJC, enabling direct mounting to heatsinks via single screw or clip without mica insulators-leveraging molding compound isolation equivalent to 100 μm mica while maintaining low thermal impedance between tab and external heatsink.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 48 V bus-level switching applications |
| RDS(on) | 0.050 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables ≤1.2 W conduction loss at 12 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 46 nC - Gate drive energy requirement determines minimum driver peak current (e.g., ≥3.8 A for 12 ns turn-on delay) |
| EAS | 300 mJ - Supports reliable unclamped inductive switching in motor control or relay driving without snubbers |
| dV/dt | 5.0 V/ns - Immune to false triggering during fast transient noise in industrial environments |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient thermal environments without derating |
| RthJC | 3.6 °C/W - Enables compact heatsink design with ≤15 °C rise at 42 W dissipation |
Pinout & Package
IRFIZ34G uses the TO-220 FULLPAK package: isolated plastic housing with integral metal tab (drain-connected), 3-pin through-hole configuration, 4.8 mm sink-to-lead creepage, and 2.5 kVRMS isolation rated for 60 s at 60 Hz.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control input | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; threshold 2.0–4.0 V; ±100 nA leakage ensures low standby power |
| D (Drain) | High-side switch node | Connected to internal tab; electrically isolated from mounting surface; handles full 60 V blocking and 80 A pulsed current |
| S (Source) | Power return / reference | Common return path for load current; body diode anode; referenced to PCB ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Isolated TO-220 FULLPAK | Eliminates need for mica washers or insulating pads-reduces assembly steps and thermal interface resistance |
| 2.5 kVRMS isolation | Validated for 60 s at 60 Hz-meets reinforced insulation requirements in AC/DC auxiliary supplies and isolated gate drives |
| 175 °C operating temperature | Enables use in sealed industrial controllers where ambient exceeds 85 °C without forced air cooling |
| Low RthJC (3.6 °C/W) | Permits direct screw-mount heatsinking with <15 °C temperature rise at full 42 W power dissipation |
| Dynamic dV/dt rating | 5.0 V/ns immunity prevents spurious turn-on during fast voltage transients in motor drive half-bridges |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Control | DC-DC Converter Primary Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 24–48 V brushed DC motors in factory automation actuators with PWM frequencies up to 20 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side N-channel power switch controlling motor phase current; body diode handles freewheeling during PWM off-time. Use Value: 300 mJ avalanche energy rating absorbs inductive kickback without external clamping; 0.050 Ω RDS(on) limits I²R losses to <1.5 W at 12 A. | Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 30–50 W isolated flyback or forward converters powering PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch synchronizing with transformer primary winding; requires high dV/dt immunity during reset transitions. Use Value: 5.0 V/ns dV/dt rating prevents false triggering during transformer reset; 2.5 kVRMS isolation enables safe primary-to-secondary barrier compliance. |
| AC/DC Auxiliary Supply | High-Voltage Relay Driver |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-loss, fast-turn-off switch replacing mechanical contacts; body diode provides reverse polarity protection. Use Value: 80 A pulsed drain current (IDM) supports high inrush currents of solenoid valves; TO-220 FULLPAK isolation eliminates need for separate relay base insulation. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP60NF06 | 60 V, 60 A, RDS(on) = 0.018 Ω, TO-220 non-isolated, no isolation rating | Lacks 2.5 kVRMS isolation and creepage distance; requires external insulator for heatsink mounting | Select when higher current and lower RDS(on) are prioritized over isolation and board space savings |
| IXTP30N06T | 60 V, 30 A, RDS(on) = 0.022 Ω, TO-220 isolated, 2.5 kVRMS, but 150 °C TJ max | Lower max junction temperature limits sustained power in thermally constrained enclosures | Select when higher current capability is needed and thermal margin allows 150 °C limit |
Compared with STP60NF06 and IXTP30N06T, the IRFIZ34G uniquely balances 20 A current, 0.050 Ω on-resistance, 2.5 kVRMS isolation, and 175 °C operation-making it optimal for space-constrained industrial power stages where safety isolation and thermal headroom are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFIZ34G at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFIZ34G supports 14 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, per its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-220 FULLPAK package and must be validated against actual heatsink performance and ambient conditions in the final design. The IRFIZ34G datasheet specifies linear derating above 25 °C at 0.28 W/°C.
Does IRFIZ34G require a heatsink for operation at full 20 A continuous current?
Yes-the IRFIZ34G requires a heatsink to sustain 20 A continuous current at TC = 25 °C. With RthJC = 3.6 °C/W and PD = 42 W max, even minimal ambient rise necessitates active or substantial passive heatsinking. The IRFIZ34G's isolated tab allows direct mounting without insulators, reducing thermal resistance by ~1.2 °C/W versus standard TO-220 with mica.
What is the body diode reverse recovery time (trr) specification for IRFIZ34G?
The IRFIZ34G body diode has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 120 ns and maximum of 230 ns at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 30 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. This value is critical for synchronous rectification and freewheeling paths in hard-switched topologies. The IRFIZ34G's Qrr of 0.70–1.4 μC further defines stored charge behavior during recovery.
Can IRFIZ34G be used as a direct replacement for IRFZ34N in existing designs?
No-IRFIZ34G is not a drop-in replacement for IRFZ34N. While both are 60 V N-channel MOSFETs in TO-220 packages, the IRFIZ34G features FULLPAK isolation (2.5 kVRMS, 4.8 mm creepage), whereas IRFZ34N is non-isolated. Mounting, thermal interface, and safety certification would require redesign. The IRFIZ34G also has higher Qg (46 nC vs. ~35 nC) and different SOA characteristics.
What is the gate-source voltage rating for IRFIZ34G, and what happens if exceeded?
The IRFIZ34G has a gate-source voltage rating of ±20 V. Exceeding this limit risks permanent gate oxide damage, leading to increased IGSS leakage or catastrophic failure. Transient overshoots must be clamped-especially in high-dV/dt environments-using Zener diodes or gate resistors. The IRFIZ34G's ±100 nA IGSS at ±20 V confirms gate integrity within spec, but stress beyond ±20 V voids reliability guarantees.
