Product details
Overview
IRFL214TRPBF from Vishay Siliconix is a 250 V, 0.79 A N-channel surface-mount power MOSFET in SOT-223 package, with RDS(on) = 2.0 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 8.2 nC, and repetitive avalanche rating. It serves as a low-power switching element in DC-DC converters, LED drivers, and load-switching circuits where compact size and thermal robustness are critical.
For engineers reviewing the IRFL214TRPBF datasheet, IRFL214TRPBF pinout, IRFL214TRPBF application, or IRFL214TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 250 V drain-source breakdown voltage, 2.0 Ω on-resistance at 10 V gate drive, 8.2 nC total gate charge, SOT-223 thermal performance (2.0 W PCB mount), and avalanche energy rating of 50 mJ (single-pulse).
Technical Context
This device belongs to Vishay's third-generation high-voltage power MOSFET family, optimized for fast switching and ruggedized operation. Its design integrates dynamic dV/dt immunity (4.8 V/ns), repetitive avalanche capability (0.31 mJ), and low gate charge (Qgd = 4.5 nC) to support reliable hard-switching in inductive loads.
The SOT-223 package features an enlarged drain tab for enhanced heatsinking-enabling >1.25 W dissipation on FR-4 PCBs-and supports automated pick-and-place assembly. Internal source/drain inductances (LS = 6.0 nH, LD = 4.0 nH) are specified to aid layout-aware switching analysis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 250 V - Supports primary-side switching in offline flyback or auxiliary supplies up to 200 V DC bus. |
| RDS(on) | 2.0 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Delivers ≤0.47 A continuous current with <1.0 W conduction loss at room temperature. |
| Qg | 8.2 nC - Enables efficient 100–500 kHz switching with standard gate drivers (e.g., TC442x) without excessive drive power. |
| EAS | 50 mJ - Withstands unclamped inductive energy transients in relay/snubberless solenoid drivers. |
| TJ Range | −55 °C to +150 °C - Qualified for industrial ambient environments and thermally constrained enclosures. |
| RthJA | 60 °C/W (PCB mount) - Limits junction rise to ~120 °C at 2.0 W dissipation on 1"² FR-4 board. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-223 package with exposed drain tab (pin 2) for thermal conduction and mechanical anchoring. Standard 4-pin configuration: Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source, Pin 4 = Source (dual-source connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (G) | Gate terminal | High-impedance control input requiring ≤100 nA leakage; driven by logic-level or dedicated gate driver. |
| Pin 2 (D) | Drain terminal / thermal pad | Primary high-voltage node and main thermal path; must be soldered to copper pour for rated power handling. |
| Pins 3 & 4 (S) | Source terminals | Low-side return path; dual-source pins reduce source inductance and improve switching stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Enables reliable operation under transient overloads (e.g., motor stall, inductive kickback) without derating or external clamping. |
| Dynamic dV/dt rating | 4.8 V/ns immunity prevents false turn-on during high-speed voltage transitions in noisy power stages. |
| Fast switching | 7.0 ns turn-on delay + 7.6 ns rise time enables clean edge control in PWM dimming and SMPS applications. |
| Easy paralleling | Positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) ensures current sharing across multiple IRFL214TRPBF devices without ballast resistors. |
Applications
| LED Constant-Current Driver | Industrial Load Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Low-cost, space-constrained LED string driver in signage or indicator panels operating from 12–48 V DC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: N-channel low-side switch controlling average LED current via PWM duty cycle. Use Value: 2.0 Ω RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <0.5 W at 0.5 A, while 250 V rating accommodates surge transients on shared power rails. | Use Scenario: Remote-controlled 24 V DC load enable/disable in PLC I/O modules or HVAC actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Solid-state replacement for electromechanical relays, providing silent, bounce-free switching. Use Value: Repetitive avalanche rating (0.31 mJ) absorbs inductive energy from solenoid coils without snubbers or flyback diodes. |
| Offline Auxiliary Supply | Low-Power DC-DC Converter |
Use Scenario: Bias supply for gate drivers or controllers in isolated AC-DC adapters (<30 W). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side switch in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback topology. Use Value: 250 V VDS safely withstands reflected output voltage plus leakage spike; Qg = 8.2 nC minimizes driver losses at 65–100 kHz. | Use Scenario: Step-down regulator for microcontroller core voltage in battery-powered sensors or IoT nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier or high-side switch in buck converter with external controller. Use Value: Low Qgd/Qg ratio (4.5/8.2) improves duty-cycle control fidelity and reduces shoot-through risk during dead-time transitions. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiHFL214TR-GE3 | Same die, Pb-free/halogen-free SOT-223 package; identical RDS(on), Qg, and avalanche specs. | No functional difference; qualified for RoHS-compliant manufacturing with alternate tape/reel packaging. | Select when full halogen-free compliance and Vishay's "-GE3" traceability are required. |
| IRFL9110TRPBF | Lower VDS (100 V), higher RDS(on) (3.5 Ω), same SOT-223 footprint and gate drive profile. | Not suitable for >120 V applications; better for 12–24 V systems where lower cost and reduced voltage stress are priorities. | Choose only for low-voltage, high-current scenarios where 250 V margin is unnecessary. |
Compared with SiHFL214TR-GE3, IRFL214TRPBF offers identical electrical performance but differs in lead finish and manufacturing location ("-BE3"); versus IRFL9110TRPBF, it provides 2.5× higher voltage rating at the expense of slightly higher on-resistance-making it optimal for universal-input auxiliary supplies and industrial 24–48 V systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFL214TRPBF at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current for IRFL214TRPBF is 0.50 A at TC = 100 °C, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the SOT-223 package under sustained power dissipation; operation above this current requires active cooling or reduced duty cycle to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C. The IRFL214TRPBF datasheet specifies linear derating of 0.025 W/°C above 25 °C case temperature.
Does IRFL214TRPBF have a built-in body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, IRFL214TRPBF includes an integral body diode with VSD = 2.0 V at IS = 0.79 A and TJ = 25 °C, reverse recovery time trr = 190–390 ns, and Qrr = 0.64–1.3 μC. These values are measured under standardized conditions (IF = 2.7 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs) and support synchronous rectification or freewheeling in low-frequency switching topologies. The IRFL214TRPBF body diode is not optimized for high-frequency ZVS operation.
Can IRFL214TRPBF be used with 5 V logic-level gate drive?
No-IRFL214TRPBF is not a logic-level MOSFET. Its gate threshold voltage VGS(th) ranges from 2.0 V to 4.0 V, and RDS(on) is specified at VGS = 10 V (2.0 Ω). At 5 V gate drive, RDS(on) increases significantly (>5 Ω), causing excessive conduction loss. For 5 V control, consider Vishay's Si2300 or similar logic-level alternatives-not the IRFL214TRPBF.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for IRFL214TRPBF on a standard PCB?
The maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) for IRFL214TRPBF is 60 °C/W when mounted on a 1" square FR-4 PCB, per the Thermal Resistance Ratings table. This value assumes no additional heatsink; actual performance depends on copper area, layer count, and airflow. The IRFL214TRPBF achieves 2.0 W power dissipation under these conditions, making it suitable for thermally constrained layouts where larger packages are impractical.
Is IRFL214TRPBF suitable for avalanche energy handling in unclamped inductive switching?
Yes-IRFL214TRPBF is explicitly rated for repetitive avalanche operation with EAR = 0.31 mJ and single-pulse EAS = 50 mJ. These ratings are validated per JEDEC test conditions (L = 128 mH, IAS = 0.79 A, VDD = 50 V). Designers must ensure pulse width and duty cycle remain within limits shown in Figure 11 to avoid exceeding TJ(max) = 150 °C. The IRFL214TRPBF datasheet confirms this capability in both absolute maximum and avalanche test notes.
