Product details
Overview
IRFR120ZTRL from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, rated for 100V VDSS, 8.7A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and 190 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V. It features 175°C maximum junction temperature, fast switching (td(on) = 8.3 ns, tf = 23 ns), and rated repetitive avalanche capability-designed for high-efficiency DC-DC converters, motor drive half-bridges, and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR120ZTRL datasheet, IRFR120ZTRL pinout, IRFR120ZTRL application, or IRFR120ZTRL equivalent, key selection criteria include verified RDS(on) at 10V gate drive, thermal resistance RθJC = 4.28°C/W, body diode reverse recovery charge Qrr = 23–35 nC, and avalanche energy rating EAS = 18 mJ (tested).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced silicon processing to minimize on-resistance per die area while maintaining robust safe operating area (SOA) up to 100V and 8.7A. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges 2.0–4.0V, enabling reliable turn-on with standard 3.3V/5V logic-level drivers when combined with sufficient gate charge (Qg = 6.9–10 nC).
The integrated body diode exhibits VSD = 1.3V max at IS = 5.2A and trr = 24–36 ns, supporting synchronous rectification and unclamped inductive switching. Thermal design is enabled by low RθJC (4.28°C/W) and validated transient impedance curves up to 1 ms pulse width.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 100 V - Withstands up to 100V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche onset. |
| RDS(on) | 190 mΩ max @ VGS = 10V, TJ = 25°C - Determines conduction loss in high-current paths (e.g., 0.85W loss at 8.7A). |
| ID (cont) | 8.7 A @ TC = 25°C - Continuous current capability under heatsink-cooled conditions. |
| Qg | 10 nC max - Total gate charge defining driver strength requirement for 10–100 ns switching transitions. |
| EAS | 18 mJ (tested) - Single-pulse avalanche energy handling without failure, critical for inductive load snubbing. |
| TJ max | 175°C - Enables operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., enclosed industrial enclosures). |
| RθJC | 4.28°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; defines minimum heatsink interface performance needed for thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
IRFR120ZTRL uses the D-Pak (TO-252) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The three terminals are arranged in a single-row configuration with Gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current-carrying terminal (connected to internal die substrate) | Electrically and thermally tied to exposed copper pad; must be soldered to large PCB copper pour for heat dissipation. |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Low-inductance source connection essential for minimizing switching oscillation; LS = 7.5 nH typical. |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring <200 nA leakage; sensitive to ESD; requires gate resistor (RG ≈ 53 Ω typical) for controlled dV/dt. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 190 mΩ max at 10V drive enables >95% efficiency in 12–48V buck converters at 5–8A load. |
| 175°C junction rating | Supports operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without derating below 100°C ambient. |
| Fast switching speed | tf = 23 ns and td(off) = 27 ns reduce switching losses in 100–500 kHz SMPS designs. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Validated for repeated unclamped inductive switching up to TJmax, eliminating need for external clamping in relay/motor drive snubbers. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant D-Pak package with matte tin lead finish, compatible with standard reflow profiles. |
Applications
| DC-DC Buck Converter | Brushed DC Motor Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-efficiency 24V-to-5V/3.3V point-of-load converter in industrial PLC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous high-side switch operating at 300 kHz with gate-driven body diode commutation. Use Value: Low RDS(on) reduces conduction loss; fast tf minimizes dead-time losses; 175°C rating ensures reliability under full-load thermal stress. | Use Scenario: H-bridge driver for 24V brushed motors in automated gate actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch controlling motor direction and PWM speed via microcontroller GPIO. Use Value: Rated repetitive avalanche handles back-EMF spikes during PWM turn-off; Qrr = 23–35 nC limits diode recovery loss during polarity reversal. |

Use Scenario: 12V auxiliary rail generation in offline flyback converters for smart meter power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side active clamp switch managing transformer reset energy. Use Value: 100V VDSS accommodates reflected flyback voltage plus margin; EAS = 18 mJ absorbs clamp energy without external Zener. | Use Scenario: Buck-based constant-current driver for high-brightness LED strings in street lighting fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side current-regulating switch modulated at 1–20 kHz for dimming control. Use Value: Low RDS(on) maintains <1W dissipation at 8.7A LED current; thermal RθJC = 4.28°C/W allows direct mounting to aluminum heatsink. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP12NK100Z | 100V VDSS, 12A ID, 180 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220 package | Higher current rating but through-hole only; lacks D-Pak thermal interface and surface-mount compatibility | Select for prototyping or low-volume through-hole boards where heatsink mounting flexibility outweighs PCB space constraints. |
| IXTP10N100D2 | 100V VDSS, 10A ID, 220 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220FP package | Higher RDS(on) and lower ID; optimized for linear-mode operation with enhanced SOA | Prefer for analog pass-element or hot-swap applications where ruggedness under linear bias matters more than switching efficiency. |
Compared with STP12NK100Z and IXTP10N100D2, IRFR120ZTRL offers superior surface-mount thermal performance (RθJC = 4.28°C/W vs. >1.5°C/W for TO-220 variants) and tighter gate threshold distribution (2.0–4.0V), making it optimal for high-density, high-reliability automated assembly in industrial power stages.

FAQ
Is IRFR120ZTRL suitable for logic-level gate drive?
No-IRFR120ZTRL has a gate threshold voltage range of 2.0–4.0V and is specified for RDS(on) at VGS = 10V. While it may weakly turn on with 3.3V or 5V, full enhancement requires ≥10V gate drive to achieve 190 mΩ RDS(on). For true logic-level operation, consider IRFR024N or similar 2.5V-threshold parts.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for the drain pad?
Per Infineon's layout guidelines, the exposed drain pad should connect to ≥250 mm² of 2-oz copper (minimum 1.5 mm² per amp), with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, filled or plated) to inner ground/power planes. This achieves near-datasheet RθJC = 4.28°C/W and prevents localized overheating at 8.7A.
Does IRFR120ZTRL include integrated gate protection?
No-it lacks built-in gate Zener clamping or series resistance. External gate protection is required: a 12–15V Zener diode between gate and source (cathode to gate), plus a 10–100Ω series resistor, is mandatory to prevent VGS overstress from ringing or ESD, especially in high-dV/dt switching environments.
Can IRFR120ZTRL replace IRFR120 in existing designs?
Yes-with caveats. IRFR120ZTRL replaces IRFR120 (obsolete) with identical pinout, package, and electrical specs, but adds lead-free finish and improved repetitive avalanche rating. Verify board reflow profile compatibility with matte tin finish and confirm no legacy design relies on non-RoHS solder paste compatibility.
