Product details
Overview
IRFR12N25DTRPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 250V, 14A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, featuring 0.26Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10V and optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters requiring low gate charge (23 nC typ.) and fast switching (tr = 25 ns, tf = 9.2 ns).
For engineers reviewing the IRFR12N25DTRPBF datasheet, IRFR12N25DTRPBF pinout, IRFR12N25DTRPBF application, or IRFR12N25DTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche energy rating (250 mJ single-pulse), body diode recovery performance (trr = 140 ns, Qrr = 710 nC), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.04°C/W) for SMPS thermal design.
Technical Context
This HEXFET device uses planar vertical DMOS technology with fully characterized output capacitance (Coss = 130 pF at VDS = 25V; Coss,eff = 130 pF over 0–200V sweep), enabling accurate snubberless flyback and resonant converter modeling. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 3.0–5.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5V/10V logic drivers.
The integrated body diode exhibits low forward voltage (VSD = 1.5 V at IS = 8.4 A, TJ = 25°C) and controlled reverse recovery (dv/dt = 9.3 V/ns), supporting synchronous rectification and freewheeling in hard-switched topologies without external Schottky supplementation.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP14NK25Z | RDS(on) = 0.22Ω (lower), Qg = 26 nC (higher), TO-220 package | Requires through-hole assembly and larger heatsink footprint | Preferred where board space permits and lower conduction loss outweighs gate drive overhead |
| IXTP12N25P | RDS(on) = 0.28Ω (higher), Qg = 18 nC (lower), TO-220FP package | Vertical mount with isolated tab; higher thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.6°C/W) | Selected when electrical isolation from heatsink is mandatory and switching frequency exceeds 1 MHz |
Compared with STP14NK25Z and IXTP12N25P, IRFR12N25DTRPBF delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and surface-mount thermal efficiency-making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, high-frequency SMPS where D-Pak mechanical reliability is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current (ID) at TC = 100°C is 9.7 A with VGS = 10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits imposed by the D-Pak package's junction-to-case thermal resistance (1.04°C/W) and safe operating area constraints.
Does IRFR12N25DTRPBF have avalanche capability, and how is it rated?
Yes, it is fully rated for unclamped inductive switching: single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) is 250 mJ at TJ = 25°C, and repetitive avalanche energy (EAR) is 14 mJ. Avalanche current (IAR) is 8.4 A, verified per JEDEC JESD24-1 test conditions.
Can this MOSFET be used with 5V gate drive?
No-its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 3.0 V to 5.0 V, and RDS(on) is only guaranteed at VGS = 10 V. At 5 V, the device operates in weak inversion with significantly elevated RDS(on); use only with 10 V or higher gate drive for specified performance.
What is the significance of the "PBF" suffix in the part number?
The "PBF" suffix indicates lead-free (Pb-free) construction compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1. It denotes matte tin plating and halogen-free epoxy molding compound, validated for reflow soldering up to 260°C peak.
