Product details
Overview
IRFP140N from Infineon Technologies is a 100V, 33A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring 0.052Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, 175°C maximum junction temperature, and full unclamped inductive avalanche rating (EAS = 300 mJ). It serves as a high-efficiency main switch in DC-DC converters and motor drive half-bridges.
For engineers reviewing the IRFP140N datasheet, IRFP140N pinout, IRFP140N application, or IRFP140N equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.0 V/ns di/dt-rated body diode recovery, 94 nC total gate charge for PWM switching optimization, and thermal resistance RθJC = 1.1°C/W enabling high-power conduction with forced-air heatsinking.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Infineon's fifth-generation HEXFET process to minimize on-resistance per die area while maintaining ruggedness against repetitive avalanche stress (IAR = 16 A, EAR = 14 mJ). Its gate threshold voltage (2.0–4.0 V) ensures stable turn-on under wide supply tolerances.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 170–250 ns, Qrr = 1.1–1.6 µC) with controlled dv/dt capability (5.0 V/ns), making it suitable for hard-switched topologies where diode reverse recovery induces voltage overshoot.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBRDSS | 100 V - Withstands up to 100 V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche onset. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.052 Ω - Enables ≤1.3 W conduction loss at 16 A DC current with 10 V gate drive. |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 33 A - Continuous drain current rating under ideal heatsink conditions (TC = 25°C). |
| EAS | 300 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy tolerance supports robustness during inductive load switching faults. |
| Qg | 94 nC - Total gate charge determines required driver peak current and switching transition time in PWM circuits. |
| tr/tf | 39 ns / 33 ns - Fast rise/fall times reduce switching losses in high-frequency SMPS designs (e.g., >100 kHz). |
| RθJC | 1.1 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct mounting to heatsinks for high-power operation. |
Pinout & Package
TO-247AC package with isolated mounting hole, optimized for high-power commercial-industrial applications requiring mechanical stability and low thermal impedance. Not suitable for surface-mount assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate | Control terminal accepting 10 V logic-level drive; requires ≥±20 V absolute rating for safe operation. |
| D | Drain | Main high-side power path connection; electrically tied to metal tab for low-inductance heat transfer. |
| S | Source | Power return node and reference for gate drive; internal source inductance (LS = 13 nH) affects switching waveform fidelity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully avalanche rated | Withstands single-pulse EAS = 300 mJ and repetitive EAR = 14 mJ without degradation-critical for motor drive fault tolerance. |
| Dynamic dv/dt rating | 5.0 V/ns peak diode recovery dv/dt prevents false turn-on during high-speed commutation in bridge configurations. |
| 175°C operating temperature | Enables reliable operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments (e.g., industrial inverters, UPS systems). |
| Fast switching | Combined tr + tf < 75 ns reduces switching losses in 100–500 kHz DC-DC converters. |
| Lead-free construction | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; Pb-free plating on TO-247AC leads and die attach. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP14NK100Z | Higher RDS(on) (0.075 Ω), lower ID (14 A), Zener-protected gate | Lower power density; suited for lower-current, higher-voltage flyback snubbers | Select when gate robustness against overvoltage transients outweighs conduction loss priority. |
| IXTH16N100L | Lower Qg (65 nC), same VBRDSS (100 V), higher RDS(on) (0.085 Ω) | Better high-frequency efficiency but higher conduction loss at >10 A DC | Prefer for >300 kHz resonant converters where switching loss dominates. |
Compared with STP14NK100Z and IXTH16N100L, the IRFP140N delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), high current capability, and proven avalanche ruggedness-making it preferred for medium-frequency, high-current industrial switching where both conduction and transient reliability matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-to-source voltage rating for IRFP140N?
The IRFP140N has a maximum gate-to-source voltage rating of ±20 V. Exceeding this limit risks permanent gate oxide damage. Designers must ensure gate drive circuits include clamping (e.g., Zener diodes) or rail-limited supplies, especially in noisy industrial environments where ringing or coupling may induce transient overvoltage.
Can IRFP140N be used in synchronous rectification applications?
Yes-the IRFP140N's low RDS(on) (0.052 Ω) and fast body diode (trr = 170–250 ns) support synchronous rectification in LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge topologies. However, its 94 nC Qg demands careful gate driver sizing to avoid shoot-through during dead-time transitions.
Is IRFP140N suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No-the TO-247AC package is explicitly not recommended for surface-mount applications due to mechanical instability, thermal stress risk during reflow, and lack of solder pad compatibility. It requires through-hole mounting with a mechanically secured heatsink and torque-controlled screw (1.1 N·m).
How does the 175°C junction temperature rating impact thermal design?
The 175°C TJ(max) allows operation in ambient temperatures up to 85°C with appropriate heatsinking (RθJA ≤ 40°C/W). Designers must use RθJC = 1.1°C/W and case temperature monitoring to avoid exceeding 175°C under worst-case load and airflow conditions.
