Product details
Overview
IRFIZ48G from Vishay Siliconix is a 60 V, 37 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220 FULLPAK package, featuring 2.5 kVRMS isolation, 0.018 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature-designed for high-reliability industrial switch-mode power supplies and motor control circuits requiring reinforced insulation.
For engineers reviewing the IRFIZ48G datasheet, IRFIZ48G pinout, IRFIZ48G application, or IRFIZ48G equivalent, this device's isolated TO-220 FULLPAK construction, 110 nC total gate charge, avalanche energy rating of 100 mJ, and 4.5 V/ns peak diode recovery dV/dt are critical selection criteria in high-voltage DC-DC converters and unclamped inductive switching systems.
Technical Context
The IRFIZ48G employs a third-generation silicon process optimized for fast switching and ruggedized avalanche performance. Its isolated TO-220 FULLPAK package integrates high-voltage insulation (2.5 kVRMS, 60 s) directly into the molding compound, eliminating external insulators while maintaining 3.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance.
It delivers low conduction loss via 0.018 Ω RDS(on) at 10 V drive and supports high-current pulsed operation (IDM = 150 A), with dynamic parameters including 2400 pF input capacitance, 190 pF reverse transfer capacitance, and 120–180 ns body diode reverse recovery time under defined test conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in 48 V bus applications. |
| RDS(on) | 0.018 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 22 A continuous current, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| Qg | 110 nC - Gate drive energy demand; determines required driver strength and switching loss in hard-switched topologies. |
| EAS | 100 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; supports robustness against inductive kickback without snubbers. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Enables operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., enclosed industrial enclosures) without derating. |
| dV/dt (diode) | 4.5 V/ns - Peak diode recovery dV/dt rating; critical for EMI control and preventing false turn-on in bridge configurations. |
| RthJC | 3.0 °C/W - Low junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows efficient heat transfer to heatsink with minimal thermal interface resistance. |
Pinout & Package
IRFIZ48G uses the TO-220 FULLPAK package-a fully insulated, single-screw-mount variant of TO-220 with integrated high-voltage isolation. The package provides 4.8 mm sink-to-lead creepage distance and replaces traditional mica washers in commercial-industrial mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output / heatsink connection | Electrically isolated metal tab serves as both drain terminal and thermal interface; rated for 2.5 kVRMS isolation from leads. |
| Source | Power return / reference node | Low-inductance source lead (LS = 7.5 nH); critical for minimizing shoot-through risk in half-bridge layouts. |
| Gate | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring ≤ ±20 V drive; Qgs = 29 nC and Qgd = 36 nC define Miller plateau timing behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Isolated TO-220 FULLPAK package | Eliminates need for external insulating hardware-reduces BOM count and assembly steps in AC/DC and industrial SMPS designs. |
| 2.5 kVRMS isolation (60 s) | Meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 60950-1 and IEC 62368-1 for primary-secondary barrier in offline converters. |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports extended lifetime in thermally constrained environments such as sealed motor drives and LED drivers. |
| Dynamic dV/dt rating (4.5 V/ns) | Ensures stable commutation during fast body diode recovery, reducing risk of parasitic turn-on in synchronous rectification. |
| Low RDS(on) + low Ciss/Coss balance | Optimizes trade-off between conduction loss (0.018 Ω) and switching loss (Ciss = 2400 pF, Coss = 1300 pF) in 100–500 kHz applications. |

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) = 0.014 Ω, non-isolated TO-220, no specified dV/dt rating | Lacks 2.5 kVRMS isolation; requires external insulator for reinforced insulation applications | Select when higher current rating is prioritized and isolation is handled at board/system level. |
| IXTP50N10P | 100 V, 50 A, RDS(on) = 0.022 Ω, TO-220, non-isolated, 175 °C rating | Higher VDS margin but higher on-resistance and no isolation; not drop-in for safety-critical 60 V designs | Choose only if system-level voltage transients exceed 60 V or isolation is implemented separately. |
Compared with STP60NF06 and IXTP50N10P, the IRFIZ48G uniquely integrates certified 2.5 kVRMS isolation into its TO-220 FULLPAK package-enabling simplified compliance with safety standards without added components, while maintaining competitive RDS(on) and thermal performance at 60 V class.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the IRFIZ48G at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFIZ48G has a continuous drain current rating of 26 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits under sustained operation and must be validated against actual heatsink performance and ambient conditions in the target application. The IRFIZ48G maintains safe operation up to 175 °C junction temperature, enabling use in thermally demanding environments when properly mounted.
Does the IRFIZ48G require an external insulator when mounted to a heatsink?
No-the IRFIZ48G does not require an external insulator when mounted to a heatsink because its TO-220 FULLPAK package incorporates integrated 2.5 kVRMS isolation between the drain tab and leads. This eliminates the need for mica washers or silicone pads in most commercial-industrial applications, provided mechanical mounting complies with Vishay's recommended torque (0.6 Nm for M3 screw) and creepage/clearance requirements are met per system-level safety standards.
What is the typical body diode reverse recovery time (trr) for the IRFIZ48G?
The typical body diode reverse recovery time (trr) for the IRFIZ48G is 120–180 ns, measured at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 72 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. This parameter directly affects switching losses and EMI in hard-commutated topologies like synchronous rectifiers and half-bridges. The IRFIZ48G's trr specification supports reliable operation up to ~100 kHz without excessive diode-related losses, and its 4.5 V/ns peak dV/dt rating helps prevent false turn-on during recovery.
Can the IRFIZ48G be used in avalanche-rated applications?
Yes-the IRFIZ48G is rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 100 mJ under defined test conditions (VDD = 25 V, L = 85 μH, RG = 25 Ω). This makes it suitable for applications subject to unclamped inductive switching, such as relay driving, solenoid control, and certain motor phase-leg configurations. However, repetitive avalanche operation is not guaranteed and must be evaluated per application stress profiles using Vishay's Safe Operating Area (SOA) curves and thermal models.
What is the gate-source voltage limit for the IRFIZ48G?
The IRFIZ48G has a gate-source voltage limit of ±20 V, as stated in its Absolute Maximum Ratings. Exceeding this range risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable operation, gate drive should be clamped to +10 V to +15 V for full enhancement and –5 V to 0 V for fast turn-off, avoiding prolonged exposure near the ±20 V limits. The IRFIZ48G's VGS(th) of 2.0–4.0 V ensures compatibility with standard 10 V logic-level drivers without requiring level-shifting circuitry.
