Product details
Overview
IRFR120TRL from Vishay Siliconix is a 100 V, 7.7 A N-channel surface-mount power MOSFET in DPAK (TO-252) package, featuring 0.27 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 16 nC total gate charge, and repetitive avalanche rating-designed for DC-DC converters, motor control, and load switching in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR120TRL datasheet, IRFR120TRL pinout, IRFR120TRL application, or IRFR120TRL equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, diode recovery characteristics, and surface-mount layout guidance per Vishay's recommended DPAK pad dimensions.
Technical Context
This third-generation TrenchFET® MOSFET uses optimized silicon die geometry to achieve low conduction loss while maintaining robust unclamped inductive switching capability (EAS = 210 mJ). Its gate threshold voltage (2.0–4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V logic drivers.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 130–260 ns, Qrr = 0.65–1.3 μC) and supports high dV/dt immunity (5.5 V/ns), enabling stable operation in hard-switched topologies without external snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V - maximum blocking voltage for 24/48 V bus applications |
| RDS(on) | 0.27 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - enables ≤1.3 W conduction loss at 7.7 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 16 nC - determines gate drive power requirement and switching speed in PWM circuits |
| ID (TC = 25 °C) | 7.7 A - continuous current rating under heatsink-cooled conditions |
| EAS | 210 mJ - single-pulse avalanche energy tolerance for inductive load protection |
| trr | 130–260 ns - body diode reverse recovery time affecting shoot-through risk in half-bridge designs |
| RthJC | 3.0 °C/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance enabling direct heatsink mounting |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection; 3-pin configuration optimized for PCB heat spreading and low-inductance layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| D | Drain | Main power output terminal; electrically and thermally connected to exposed copper pad on bottom of package |
| S | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; tied to PCB ground plane in most switch-mode applications |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Supports 7.7 A IAR and 4.2 mJ EAR without degradation-enables rugged operation in flyback and boost converters |
| Dynamic dV/dt rated | 5.5 V/ns immunity prevents false turn-on during high-speed switching transients |
| Fast switching | Turn-on delay 6.8 ns, rise time 27 ns, fall time 17 ns-reduces switching losses in 100–500 kHz SMPS |
| Surface-mount (DPAK) | Compatible with vapor-phase, infrared, and wave soldering; requires Vishay-recommended 10.67 × 5.69 mm thermal pad |
| Low RDS(on)/Qg ratio | 0.27 Ω / 16 nC = 16.9 mΩ·nC-balances conduction and switching loss for medium-frequency power stages |
Applications
| DC-DC Converters | Motor Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Synchronous buck converter in 48 V telecom power supply delivering 12 V/10 A output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side N-channel MOSFET switch operating at 250 kHz with 10 V gate drive. Use Value: 0.27 Ω RDS(on) limits conduction loss to 2.7 W at full load; 16 nC Qg allows efficient driving with TC4427 gate driver. | Use Scenario: H-bridge driver for 24 V brushed DC motor in industrial actuator. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switching element handling bidirectional current up to 7.7 A continuous. Use Value: Repetitive avalanche rating absorbs inductive kickback during PWM commutation; body diode trr < 260 ns minimizes cross-conduction risk. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR120NTRPbF | Same VDS (100 V), lower RDS(on) (0.14 Ω), higher Qg (22 nC), same DPAK package | Better conduction efficiency but demands stronger gate drive; not drop-in due to different gate charge profile | Select when minimizing conduction loss dominates over gate drive complexity |
| SiHFR120-GE3 | Identical electrical specs and DPAK footprint; differs only in halogen-free material compliance and manufacturing location | No functional or layout impact; fully interchangeable in existing designs requiring RoHS/REACH compliance | Preferred for new designs targeting green electronics certification |
Compared with IRFR120TRL, IRLR120NTRPbF offers lower on-resistance at the cost of higher gate drive demand, while SiHFR120-GE3 matches all performance parameters and mechanical form factor with updated environmental compliance-making it a seamless upgrade path.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFR120TRL at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFR120TRL supports 4.9 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derated value reflects thermal limitations of the DPAK package under sustained high-temperature operation and must be validated against actual PCB layout and heatsinking in the target application.
Does IRFR120TRL have a built-in body diode, and what are its key recovery characteristics?
Yes, the IRFR120TRL integrates a monolithic body diode with typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 130–260 ns and reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of 0.65–1.3 μC at TJ = 25 °C. These values are measured under standardized conditions (IF = 9.2 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs) and directly impact shoot-through risk in synchronous rectification and half-bridge configurations.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for IRFR120TRL, and how does it affect drive compatibility?
The IRFR120TRL has a gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2.0–4.0 V at ID = 250 μA. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V logic-level drivers, but caution is required with 3.3 V controllers-full enhancement requires ≥10 V VGS to achieve the rated 0.27 Ω RDS(on).
Is IRFR120TRL suitable for avalanche operation, and what are the limits?
Yes, the IRFR120TRL is explicitly rated for repetitive avalanche operation with IAR = 7.7 A and EAR = 4.2 mJ per pulse. Single-pulse avalanche energy is rated at 210 mJ. Operation within these limits requires adherence to pulse width and duty cycle constraints defined in Figure 11 and 12 of the datasheet to prevent junction overheating.
What PCB pad dimensions are recommended for IRFR120TRL's DPAK (TO-252) package?
Vishay specifies a minimum thermal pad of 10.67 mm × 5.69 mm (0.420″ × 0.224″) for the IRFR120TRL DPAK footprint, per Application Note 826. This dimension ensures adequate copper area for thermal dissipation and mechanical reliability during reflow, especially when operating near maximum power limits.
