Product details
Overview
IRFR120TRR 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 IRFR120TRR datasheet, IRFR120TRR pinout, IRFR120TRR application, or IRFR120TRR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating behavior, body diode recovery characteristics (trr = 130–260 ns), PCB-mount power dissipation (2.5 W), and validated alternative options for high-reliability discrete switching designs.
Technical Context
This third-generation TrenchFET® MOSFET uses optimized silicon geometry to achieve low conduction loss while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching capability (EAS = 210 mJ). Its gate threshold voltage (2.0–4.0 V) ensures compatibility with standard 10 V gate drivers and supports stable turn-on under wide temperature ranges (−55 °C to +150 °C).
The device integrates a fast, low-Qrr (0.65–1.3 μC) body diode with controlled reverse recovery (dI/dt ≤ 110 A/μs), enabling efficient synchronous rectification and freewheeling in hard-switched topologies. Thermal resistance from junction-to-case is 3.0 °C/W, supporting direct heatsink attachment via the exposed drain pad.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFR120PbF-BE3 | Same die, identical RDS(on), Qg, and avalanche ratings; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (TR vs. TRR denotes different reel size/quantity) | No functional difference; TRR variant optimized for high-volume automated placement with tighter tape tension control | Select IRFR120TRR when using pick-and-place machines requiring 24 mm carrier tape and 2,000-unit reels |
| SiHFR120TR-GE3 | Same Vishay die, identical absolute maximum ratings and SOA; halogen-free, RoHS-compliant packaging (GE3 suffix), same DPAK footprint | Identical electrical performance; GE3 version required for EU medical/industrial compliance where Pb-free/halogen-free is mandated | Choose SiHFR120TR-GE3 for CE-marked equipment or when supply chain mandates green material compliance |
Compared with IRFR120TRR, IRFR120PbF-BE3 offers identical electrical behavior but different packaging logistics, while SiHFR120TR-GE3 delivers identical performance with certified halogen-free construction-neither is pin-compatible in the sense of cross-manufacturer substitution, but both are functionally and physically interchangeable within the Vishay DPAK family.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFR120TRR at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFR120TRR supports 4.9 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, per its absolute maximum ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the DPAK package; designers must ensure adequate PCB copper area or heatsinking to maintain case temperature below this threshold during sustained operation. The IRFR120TRR data sheet specifies linear derating of 0.33 W/°C above 25 °C case temperature.
Does IRFR120TRR have a specified avalanche energy rating?
Yes, the IRFR120TRR is repetitively avalanche rated with 4.2 mJ EAR and 7.7 A IAR, and single-pulse rated for 210 mJ EAS. These values are measured under defined test conditions (VDD = 25 V, L = 5.3 mH, Rg = 25 Ω) and confirm robustness against inductive switching stresses without external protection components. The IRFR120TRR datasheet includes Fig. 12c showing EAS vs. IAS.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRFR120TRR?
The IRFR120TRR has a gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2.0 V to 4.0 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V logic-level gate drivers while avoiding unintended conduction due to noise. The IRFR120TRR's typical VGS(th) is 3.0 V, and it remains stable across temperature per the transfer characteristics in Fig. 3.
Can IRFR120TRR be used in linear (analog) mode operation?
The IRFR120TRR is not characterized or guaranteed for linear-mode operation; its Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve (Fig. 8) defines only pulsed and DC boundaries under specific conditions. While it can conduct continuously at low VDS, sustained linear operation risks thermal runaway due to positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient and limited SOA at high VDS/ID combinations. For IRFR120TRR linear applications, derating and thermal monitoring are essential-and alternate parts qualified for analog use should be preferred.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for IRFR120TRR on a standard PCB?
When mounted on a 1" square FR-4 PCB, the IRFR120TRR exhibits a maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) of 50 °C/W. This value assumes no additional heatsinking and defines the worst-case thermal path for estimating junction temperature rise: TJ = TA + (PD × 50). The IRFR120TRR's lower RthJC of 3.0 °C/W highlights the benefit of attaching the exposed drain pad to a thermal plane or heatsink to improve cooling.
