Product details

Overview

IRFR020TRL from Vishay Siliconix is a 60 V, 14 A N-channel surface-mount power MOSFET in DPAK (TO-252) package, featuring 0.10 Ω R_DS(on) at V_GS = 10 V, 25 nC total gate charge, and 91 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - designed for DC-DC converters, motor control, and load switching where fast switching and ruggedness are required.

For engineers reviewing the IRFR020TRL datasheet, IRFR020TRL pinout, IRFR020TRL application, or IRFR020TRL equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal performance on PCB mount, body diode recovery behavior, gate drive compatibility, and validated alternative options for industrial power designs.

Technical Context

This third-generation TrenchFET® MOSFET uses optimized silicon geometry to achieve low conduction loss while maintaining high dV/dt immunity (5.5 V/ns) and robust unclamped inductive switching capability. Its 0.10 Ω R_DS(on) enables efficient operation at 8.4 A continuous drain current with 10 V gate drive.

The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (t_rr = 88–180 ns, Q_rr = 0.29–0.64 μC) and exhibits low gate charge components (Q_gs = 5.8 nC, Q_gd = 11 nC), supporting high-frequency PWM operation with minimal driver loss.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DS	60 V - maximum blocking voltage for 24 V/48 V bus applications
R_DS(on) @ V_GS = 10 V	0.10 Ω - enables ≤1.2 W conduction loss at 11 A DC load
Q_g	25 nC - determines gate driver current requirement for <50 ns switching transitions
I_D (T_C = 25 °C)	14 A - continuous current rating with heatsink or high-copper PCB
E_AS	91 mJ - supports reliable operation under inductive turn-off stress without snubbers
R_thJA (PCB mount)	50 °C/W - defines thermal rise on 1" FR-4 PCB with 2 oz copper
t_rr	88–180 ns - body diode recovery time affecting shoot-through risk in half-bridge topologies

Pinout & Package

DPAK (TO-252) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection; standard 3-pin layout optimized for automated assembly and high-current PCB routing.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
G (Gate)	Control input	Receives 10 V logic-level drive; 5.8 nC Q_gs ensures fast turn-on with low driver power
D (Drain)	High-side switch node	Exposed metal tab - must be connected to PCB copper pour for thermal dissipation and low-inductance return path
S (Source)	Reference node / current return	Common source connection for gate drive reference and current sensing; internal source inductance = 7.5 nH

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Dynamic dV/dt rating	5.5 V/ns - prevents false turn-on during high-speed switching in noisy environments
Fast switching performance	td(on) = 13 ns, tr = 58 ns, td(off) = 25 ns, tf = 42 ns - enables >500 kHz SMPS operation
Ruggedized avalanche capability	91 mJ E_AS - eliminates need for external clamping in relay/motor driving circuits
Low gate charge asymmetry	Q_gd/Q_g = 44 % - improves Miller immunity and reduces risk of spurious turn-on in high-side configurations
PCB-mount thermal resistance	R_thJA = 50 °C/W - achieves 125 °C junction temperature at 2.5 W dissipation on standard FR-4

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
SiHFR020-GE3	Same die, identical R_DS(on), Q_g, and avalanche rating; Pb-free/halogen-free construction	No functional difference; qualified for RoHS-compliant manufacturing lines	Select when lead-free compliance is mandatory and tape-and-reel packaging is preferred
IRLR024TRPBF	Lower V_DS (55 V), lower R_DS(on) (0.075 Ω), higher Q_g (36 nC), same DPAK package	Better conduction efficiency below 40 V, but reduced margin for 48 V transients	Choose for cost-sensitive 24 V systems requiring lowest possible on-resistance

Compared with IRFR020TRL, SiHFR020-GE3 offers identical electrical performance with environmental compliance, while IRLR024TRPBF trades voltage headroom for lower conduction loss - making IRFR020TRL optimal for 48 V industrial applications needing robust avalanche tolerance and proven reliability.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFR020TRL at 100 °C case temperature?

The IRFR020TRL supports 9.0 A continuous drain current at T_C = 100 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the DPAK package under sustained high-power operation and must be validated against actual PCB layout and ambient conditions. The IRFR020TRL's 0.10 Ω R_DS(on) contributes directly to this thermal boundary.

Does IRFR020TRL require a gate resistor for stable switching?

Yes - although the IRFR020TRL has simple drive requirements, a gate resistor (typically 10–25 Ω) is recommended to control dI/dt, suppress ringing caused by LS/LD parasitics (7.5 nH source, 4.5 nH drain), and prevent oscillation during hard switching. The IRFR020TRL's 5.8 nC Q_gs and 11 nC Q_gd make it sensitive to gate loop inductance, especially in high-frequency applications.

Can IRFR020TRL be used in a synchronous rectifier configuration?

No - the IRFR020TRL is a standard-threshold N-channel MOSFET with V_GS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V and is not optimized for synchronous rectification. It lacks the ultra-low Q_rr and enhanced body diode softness required for high-efficiency secondary-side switching. For such roles, dedicated synchronous rectifier MOSFETs like the SiR872DP should be considered instead of the IRFR020TRL.

What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for IRFR020TRL on a standard PCB?

The IRFR020TRL has a maximum R_thJA of 50 °C/W when mounted on a 1" square FR-4 PCB with 2 oz copper, per the Thermal Resistance Ratings table. This value assumes no external heatsink and defines the worst-case thermal rise for system-level thermal design. The IRFR020TRL's exposed drain pad must be soldered to adequate copper area to achieve this rating.

Is IRFR020TRL pin-compatible with IRFR014 or IRFR022?

No - while all three are DPAK-packaged N-channel MOSFETs, IRFR020TRL is not pin-compatible with IRFR014 or IRFR022 due to differing R_DS(on), Q_g, and avalanche ratings, and no documentation confirms mechanical or electrical interchangeability. Substitution requires full validation of gate drive timing, thermal margin, and unclamped switching behavior - the IRFR020TRL must be treated as a distinct design-in component.
