Product details
Overview
IRFIZ48VPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 60 V, 39 A, 12 mΩ N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-220 Fullpak package, optimized for high-efficiency switch-mode power supplies and DC-DC converters. It features fully avalanche-rated operation, isolated tab design rated at 2.5 kVRMS, and fast switching with 7.6 ns turn-on delay and 166 ns fall time.
For engineers reviewing the IRFIZ48VPBF datasheet, IRFIZ48VPBF pinout, IRFIZ48VPBF application, or IRFIZ48VPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 290 A pulsed drain current capability, 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating, and suitability for industrial-grade SMPS designs requiring robust thermal performance and body-diode recovery (trr = 70–100 ns).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced planar HEXFET processing to achieve ultra-low on-resistance per die area while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching (UIS) capability. Its isolated TO-220 Fullpak package integrates high-voltage insulation equivalent to a 100 µm mica barrier, eliminating external insulators in commercial-industrial heatsink mounting.
The device is characterized for operation across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature, with gate threshold voltage (2.0–4.0 V), transconductance (35 S), and total gate charge (110 nC) specified at 25°C and 175°C. Body diode forward voltage is 2.0 V at 72 A and 25°C, supporting synchronous rectification and freewheeling roles in buck and flyback topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche breakdown; sets upper limit for input/output rail voltage in SMPS designs |
| RDS(on) | 12 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 43 A - Directly determines conduction loss (Pcond ≈ I² × RDS(on)) in high-current paths |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 39 A - Continuous safe operating current with case heatsink at 25°C; derates linearly by 0.29 W/°C above 25°C |
| Qg | 110 nC - Total gate charge required for full turn-on; impacts driver sizing and switching loss in hard-switched converters |
| trr | 70–100 ns - Reverse recovery time of integrated body diode; critical for minimizing shoot-through and EMI in synchronous topologies |
| EAS | 780 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; enables reliable operation under transient overvoltage or inductive load switching |
| RθJC | 3.5 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; defines minimum heatsink requirement for thermal management |
Pinout & Package
IRFIZ48VPBF uses the TO-220 Fullpak package: isolated metal tab (Drain-connected), 3-pin through-hole outline with integral insulation enabling direct heatsink mounting without additional hardware. Tab isolation rating is 2.5 kVRMS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Left) | Gate (G) | Control terminal; requires ≤ ±20 V gate drive; 100 nA leakage at ±20 V ensures low standby power |
| Pin 2 (Center) | Drain (D) | Main power output terminal; electrically connected to isolated metal tab; carries full load current and heat |
| Pin 3 (Right) | Source (S) | Power return/reference node; forms common reference for gate drive and current sensing; internal source inductance LS = 7.5 nH |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully avalanche-rated | 72 A IAS, 780 mJ EAS - Enables reliable operation during inductive switching transients without external snubbers |
| Isolated TO-220 Fullpak | 2.5 kVRMS tab isolation - Eliminates need for mica washers or insulating sleeves in industrial heatsink assemblies |
| Optimized for SMPS | 12 mΩ RDS(on), 110 nC Qg, 166 ns tf - Balances conduction and switching losses in 100–500 kHz DC-DC converters |
| Fast body diode | trr = 70–100 ns, Qrr = 155–233 nC - Reduces reverse recovery losses and improves efficiency in non-synchronous flyback and buck converters |
| High-temperature operation | TJ = –55°C to +175°C - Supports extended life and reliability in enclosed industrial environments without derating |
Applications
| Server VRM | Industrial Motor Drive |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-current point-of-load regulation in 1U server power supplies delivering up to 120 A per phase. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier in multiphase buck converter; switches at 300–500 kHz with precise gate timing control.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switching element handling continuous 27 A (TC = 100°C) with repetitive inductive loads. Use Value: Fully avalanche-rated operation withstands motor back-EMF spikes; 2.5 kVRMS isolation simplifies heatsink grounding in grounded-cabinet systems. |
| Telecom DC-DC Converter | LED Driver Power Stage |
Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 48 V input, 12 V output isolated forward converter for telecom shelf power. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch operating at 200 kHz with 50% duty cycle; subjected to 60 V bus and 290 A pulsed currents.

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 | RDS(on) = 14 mΩ, Qg = 95 nC, TO-220 non-isolated | Lacks 2.5 kVRMS isolation; requires external insulator for heatsink mounting | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs isolation requirement and board space allows insulator integration |
| IXTP30N10D2 | RDS(on) = 30 mΩ, VDSS = 100 V, D2PAK package | Higher voltage rating but double RDS(on); larger footprint and higher thermal resistance (RθJC = 4.5 °C/W) | Prefer only if system requires >60 V blocking or D2PAK mechanical compatibility is mandatory |
Compared with STP60NF06 and IXTP30N10D2, IRFIZ48VPBF delivers lower conduction loss and integrated isolation in the same TO-220 footprint-critical for space-constrained industrial SMPS where thermal and safety margins are prioritized over minimal BOM cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-to-source voltage rating for IRFIZ48VPBF?
The absolute maximum VGS rating is ±20 V. Operation beyond this range risks permanent gate oxide damage. Gate drive circuits must clamp voltage within this window using Zener diodes or active clamping, especially during fast dv/dt events or negative ringing caused by stray inductance.
Can IRFIZ48VPBF be used in avalanche mode continuously?
No-avalanche operation is rated for single-pulse conditions only (EAS = 780 mJ). Repetitive avalanche is not characterized or guaranteed. Designers must ensure circuit conditions (L × di/dt, VDD, pulse width) stay within the UIS Safe Operating Area shown in Figure 11 of the datasheet.
Does the TO-220 Fullpak tab require electrical isolation from the heatsink?
No-the tab is internally insulated and rated for 2.5 kVRMS isolation. It may be mounted directly to an earthed heatsink without mica, silicone pads, or insulating hardware, provided mechanical torque does not exceed 1.1 N·m (10 lbf·in) to avoid compromising the molding compound seal.
How does the body diode performance compare to discrete Schottky diodes in high-frequency applications?
The integrated body diode has trr = 70–100 ns and VSD = 2.0 V at 72 A-higher forward drop and slower recovery than typical Schottky diodes. For >200 kHz operation, external Schottky or SiC diodes are recommended to reduce recovery loss and EMI; the body diode is best suited for lower-frequency freewheeling or fault protection.
