Product details
Overview
IRFR1205TRLPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 55 V, 5.5 A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in DPAK (TO-252) package, rated for RDS(on) ≤ 0.27 Ω at VGS = 10 V, with 100% avalanche-rated ruggedness and fast body diode recovery (trr = 48 ns). It serves as a low-side switch in DC-DC converters and motor drive half-bridges.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR1205TRLPBF datasheet, IRFR1205TRLPBF pinout, IRFR1205TRLPBF application, or IRFR1205TRLPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 55 V VDSS, 5.5 A ID continuous rating, DPAK thermal performance, and body diode reverse recovery behavior in synchronous rectification and PWM-controlled inductive loads.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a planar stripe cell structure optimized for low conduction loss and controlled gate charge (Qg = 12 nC typical). Its body diode exhibits soft recovery with peak reverse recovery current IRRM = 4.5 A and dv/dt capability of 5.5 V/ns, enabling reliable operation in hard-switched topologies.
The device is specified for operation from –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, with guaranteed 100% UIS (Unclamped Inductive Switching) ruggedness up to EAS = 39 mJ at TJ = 25 °C - critical for motor control transients and load dump events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 55 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; sets upper limit for bus voltage in 24–48 V systems. |
| ID (continuous) | 5.5 A @ TC = 100 °C - Continuous current handling at case temperature; defines thermal derating envelope in DPAK heatsink designs. |
| RDS(on) | ≤ 0.27 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - On-resistance directly determines conduction loss (Pcond = I² × RDS(on)) in high-current switching paths. |
| Qg | 12 nC typical - Total gate charge; governs required driver current and switching transition time in 100–500 kHz PWM stages. |
| trr | 48 ns - Body diode reverse recovery time; impacts switching loss and EMI in freewheeling phases of buck or half-bridge circuits. |
| EAS | 39 mJ @ TJ = 25 °C - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; enables robustness against inductive kickback without external snubbers. |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal dissipation; standard 3-pin configuration (G-D-S) compatible with automated PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Tab/Drain) | Power Drain Terminal | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal management and low-inductance return path. |
| Pin 2 (Source) | Power Source Reference | Common return node for load current; ties to ground plane or low-side shunt resistor for current sensing. |
| Pin 3 (Gate) | Control Input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <1 µA bias; driven by logic-level or dedicated gate driver with <12 nC charge delivery capability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% UIS tested | Guarantees survival under unclamped inductive switching stress-no derating needed for motor phase-leg or solenoid drive applications. |
| Fast, soft-recovery body diode | Reduces voltage overshoot and ringing during commutation, lowering EMI filter requirements in compact power modules. |
| Lead-free and RoHS compliant | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1); supports lead-free reflow profiles without delamination risk. |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | Improves Miller immunity and reduces risk of spurious turn-on during high dv/dt switching transitions in half-bridge configurations. |
Applications
| Brushless DC Motor Control | Industrial DC-DC Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Low-side switching in 3-phase BLDC inverter stages for HVAC blowers and power tools. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power switch in PWM-driven half-bridge leg; conducts during low-side active period and freewheels via body diode during high-side conduction. Use Value: 48 ns trr minimizes diode recovery loss and voltage spike, enabling >20 kHz PWM without snubber networks. | Use Scenario: Synchronous rectifier in isolated 48 V input, 12 V output flyback or forward converter for industrial PLC power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side synchronous rectifier replacing Schottky diode; gated in anti-phase with primary switch. Use Value: RDS(on) ≤ 0.27 Ω cuts conduction loss by >40% vs. 40 V Schottky, improving full-load efficiency from 89% to 92.5%. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | LED Driver Circuits |
Use Scenario: Load switch for 12 V lighting, solenoids, and window lift motors in BCM sub-assemblies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability power FET with integrated avalanche capability; handles load dump transients up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. Use Value: 39 mJ EAS rating eliminates need for TVS clamping on each switched load, reducing BOM count and board area. | Use Scenario: Constant-current dimming switch in high-brightness LED arrays for signage and machine vision lighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PWM-controlled current sink; modulates LED string current at 1–5 kHz with minimal thermal rise. Use Value: DPAK package delivers 1.5 W power dissipation at 100 °C case temperature, supporting 700 mA continuous LED current without forced air. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP55NF06L | 60 V VDSS, 55 A ID, TO-220 package, RDS(on) = 0.018 Ω - higher current, larger footprint, lower RDS(on). | Requires through-hole mounting and larger heatsink; unsuitable for space-constrained DPAK layouts. | Select when higher current headroom and thermal mass are available; not drop-in for IRFR1205TRLPBF PCB footprints. |
| DMN3025LSD-13 | 30 V VDSS, 5.8 A ID, SO-8 package, RDS(on) = 0.025 Ω - lower voltage rating, dual-N configuration, smaller footprint. | Limited to ≤24 V systems; dual-FET layout enables half-bridge integration but lacks avalanche rating. | Prefer for compact 12 V motor drivers where avalanche ruggedness is not required and board space is critical. |
Compared with STP55NF06L and DMN3025LSD-13, IRFR1205TRLPBF uniquely balances 55 V rating, DPAK mountability, and guaranteed avalanche energy - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 24–48 V industrial switching where reliability under transient stress is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for IRFR1205TRLPBF?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V. Operation above +12 V provides no RDS(on) improvement beyond 10 V, while exceeding +20 V risks irreversible gate oxide breakdown. Recommended drive is +10 V to ensure full enhancement without overstress.
Does IRFR1205TRLPBF require a gate resistor in standard switching applications?
Yes - a 10–22 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to dampen parasitic oscillation and control dV/dt during turn-on/turn-off. This limits peak gate current to <1 A and prevents shoot-through in half-bridge configurations when used with complementary high-side switches.
Can IRFR1205TRLPBF be used in linear (analog) mode for current regulation?
No - it is not characterized or qualified for linear-mode operation. The Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve shows limited DC capability above 10 V VDS; sustained linear use risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) and insufficient SOA margin.
Is the drain tab electrically isolated from the PCB ground plane in DPAK mounting?
No - the exposed drain tab is internally connected to Pin 1 (Drain) and must be soldered to a copper pour tied to the circuit's high-side power rail or floating node. It is never isolated; using insulating thermal pads defeats its thermal function and violates UL creepage requirements.
