Product details
Overview
IRFR010PBF from Vishay Siliconix is a 50 V, 8.2 A N-channel surface-mount power MOSFET in DPAK (TO-252) package, with RDS(on) = 0.20 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 10 nC, and peak diode recovery dV/dt of 2.0 V/ns. It serves as a high-efficiency switching element in DC-DC converters and low-power motor drives where thermal constraints and fast switching are critical.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR010PBF datasheet, IRFR010PBF pinout, IRFR010PBF application, or IRFR010PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 25 W maximum power dissipation at TC = 25 °C, body diode reverse recovery time (trr) of 41–190 ns, and compatibility with standard DPAK PCB footprints per Vishay's recommended pad layout.
Technical Context
This N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET uses planar silicon technology optimized for low RDS(on) and stable transconductance (gfs = 2.1–3.1 S). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 2.0 V to 4.0 V, confirming standard-level-not logic-level-drive requirements.
The device integrates a robust intrinsic body diode rated for 8.2 A continuous source-drain current and exhibits controlled reverse recovery (Qrr = 0.15–0.78 μC), enabling reliable operation in hard-switched topologies without external snubbers under defined dI/dt limits (≤130 A/μs).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 50 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche conduction; defines use in ≤40 V bus applications with margin. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.20 Ω - Conduction loss of 7.5 W at 8.2 A; enables compact thermal design in space-constrained PCBs. |
| Qg | 10 nC - Gate drive energy requirement; determines driver strength needed for <20 ns turn-on delay (td(on) = 11–17 ns). |
| trr | 41–190 ns - Body diode recovery window; constrains maximum switching frequency in synchronous rectification. |
| RthJC | 5.0 °C/W - Thermal path efficiency from die to case; requires direct heatsink contact for >10 W sustained dissipation. |
| ID @ TC = 100 °C | 5.2 A - Derated current capability at elevated case temperature; sets practical limit for enclosed industrial environments. |
| PD @ TC = 25 °C | 25 W - Maximum steady-state power with ideal heatsinking; usable up to ~15 W on 1" FR-4 PCB per RthJA = 110 °C/W. |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252) surface-mount package with exposed drain tab for thermal and electrical connection; 3-pin configuration (G, D, S) aligned to JEDEC MO-238 standard; lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free per Vishay specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives 10 V gate drive; input capacitance Ciss = 250 pF dictates RC time constant with driver impedance. |
| D (Drain) | High-side switched node | Exposed metal tab electrically connected to drain; must be isolated from heatsink unless referenced to same potential. |
| S (Source) | Reference node / return path | Common connection for load current return and gate drive reference; internal source inductance LS = 7.5 nH affects switching waveform ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) with high gfs | 0.20 Ω + 3.1 S enables high current density and tight VGS control over temperature. |
| Fast switching with low Qg | 10 nC total gate charge supports 500 kHz+ operation with minimal driver losses. |
| Robust body diode recovery | 2.0 V/ns dV/dt rating and 130 A/μs dI/dt tolerance allow unclamped inductive switching without failure. |
| Temperature-stable parameters | VGS(th) shift < ±0.5 mV/°C and RDS(on) variation < 2× from -55 °C to +150 °C ensure consistent performance across environments. |
| Surface-mount thermal efficiency | DPAK footprint reduces parasitic inductance vs. through-hole packages, improving EMI and transient response in SMPS designs. |
Applications
| DC-DC Buck Converter | Low-Voltage Motor Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Step-down regulation from 12 V or 24 V input to 3.3 V/5 V rails in networking equipment.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiHFR010-GE3 | Same die, identical RDS(on), Qg, and thermal specs; Pb-free/halogen-free variant with GE3 suffix. | No functional difference; preferred for RoHS-compliant production requiring full material compliance documentation. | Select SiHFR010-GE3 when full halogen-free certification and traceability per Vishay Doc. 99912 are required. |
| IRFR020PBF | Higher VDS = 60 V, higher RDS(on) = 0.30 Ω, larger Qg = 14 nC; otherwise identical DPAK package and pinout. | Used where 50 V margin is insufficient (e.g., 48 V systems with high line transients); trades efficiency for voltage headroom. | Choose IRFR020PBF only if system max VDS exceeds 45 V; IRFR010PBF remains optimal for ≤40 V nominal buses. |
Compared with SiHFR010-GE3, IRFR010PBF offers identical electrical performance but lacks halogen-free certification; versus IRFR020PBF, it delivers lower conduction loss and faster switching at the cost of reduced voltage rating-making IRFR010PBF the preferred choice for thermally constrained 12–24 V applications demanding high efficiency.

FAQ
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRFR010PBF?
The IRFR010PBF has a gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranging from 2.0 V to 4.0 V at ID = 250 μA. This standard-level threshold requires a minimum 5 V gate drive for reliable enhancement-mode turn-on, and full enhancement is achieved at VGS = 10 V-where the device delivers its specified RDS(on) of 0.20 Ω. The IRFR010PBF is not a logic-level MOSFET.
Can IRFR010PBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, the IRFR010PBF is explicitly designed for paralleling, as confirmed by Vishay's datasheet features including "Ease of paralleling" and positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on). Its transconductance stability and matched threshold voltage distribution across production lots allow current sharing without external ballast resistors-provided gate drive impedance and PCB layout symmetry are maintained for each IRFR010PBF in the array.
What is the maximum junction temperature and how does it affect IRFR010PBF derating?
The IRFR010PBF has an operating junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. At TJ = 150 °C, the continuous drain current derates to 5.2 A (from 8.2 A at 25 °C), following a linear derating factor of 0.20 W/°C. This means power dissipation must be limited to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C-e.g., with RthJC = 5.0 °C/W, 25 W at TC = 25 °C corresponds to ΔT = 125 °C, matching the allowable margin.
Does IRFR010PBF include an integrated body diode, and what are its key ratings?
Yes, the IRFR010PBF integrates a monolithic body diode inherent to its vertical N-channel MOSFET structure. Key diode ratings include 8.2 A continuous source-drain current (IS), 33 A pulsed rating (ISM), 1.6 V forward voltage (VSD) at IS = 8.2 A and TJ = 25 °C, and reverse recovery time (trr) of 41–190 ns depending on test conditions. These values make the IRFR010PBF suitable for freewheeling and synchronous rectification roles.
What PCB layout recommendations apply to IRFR010PBF in DPAK package?
Vishay specifies minimum DPAK (TO-252) copper pads: 0.224" × 0.180" (5.69 mm × 4.57 mm) for source, 0.243" × 0.087" (6.18 mm × 2.20 mm) for gate, and full-exposed drain tab (0.420" × 0.224", 10.67 mm × 5.69 mm) with thermal vias to inner ground planes. The IRFR010PBF layout must minimize source inductance (LS = 7.5 nH) and gate loop area to suppress ringing and ensure stable 17 ns fall time (tf).
