Product details
Overview
IRFR214PBF-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 250 V, 2.2 A N-channel surface-mount power MOSFET in DPAK (TO-252) package, featuring 2.0 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 8.2 nC total gate charge, and repetitive avalanche rating-designed for DC-DC converters, motor control, and industrial power switching.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR214PBF-BE3 datasheet, IRFR214PBF-BE3 pinout, IRFR214PBF-BE3 application, or IRFR214PBF-BE3 equivalent, key selection factors include its 25 W TC power dissipation, 5.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, dV/dt ruggedness of 4.8 V/ns, and compatibility with vapor-phase and wave soldering processes.
Technical Context
This third-generation power MOSFET uses planar V-groove technology to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining robust unclamped inductive switching capability. Its 190 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy and 2.2 A repetitive avalanche current support reliable operation under transient overvoltage conditions without external snubbers.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode with 190–390 ns reverse recovery time and 0.65–1.3 μC Qrr, enabling efficient synchronous rectification and freewheeling in hard-switched topologies. Gate drive requirements are optimized by 1.8 nC Qgs and 4.5 nC Qgd, supporting clean turn-on/turn-off with minimal Miller-induced oscillation.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFR220PBF | Higher VDS = 200 V, lower RDS(on) = 1.5 Ω, same DPAK package and pinout | Not rated for 250 V systems; limited to ≤160 V bus applications | Select when lower conduction loss is critical and voltage stress remains below 180 V. |
| SiHFR214-GE3 | Identical electrical specs and DPAK package; differs only in halogen-free material set and manufacturing location | No functional or layout impact; fully interchangeable in RoHS-compliant designs | Prefer for lead-free/halogen-free compliance without performance trade-offs. |
Compared with IRFR214PBF-BE3, IRFR220PBF offers lower on-resistance but insufficient voltage margin for 200 V+ rails, while SiHFR214-GE3 delivers identical performance with enhanced environmental compliance-making it the drop-in alternative for regulated markets.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFR214PBF-BE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFR214PBF-BE3 supports 1.4 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects linear derating from 2.2 A at 25 °C using the 0.20 W/°C factor, and applies under proper PCB thermal management per the 1" square FR-4 mounting condition.
Does IRFR214PBF-BE3 have a specified body diode reverse recovery time?
Yes, the IRFR214PBF-BE3 body diode has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 190 ns and a maximum of 390 ns at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 2.7 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. This parameter is measured with the MOSFET symbol's intrinsic p-n junction and directly impacts efficiency in freewheeling and synchronous rectification applications.
Is IRFR214PBF-BE3 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, IRFR214PBF-BE3 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering with a peak temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section. Its DPAK (TO-252) package is designed for vapor-phase, infrared, and wave soldering, meeting industry-standard JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for IRFR214PBF-BE3?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for IRFR214PBF-BE3 is specified from 2.0 V to 4.0 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic drivers while providing noise margin against spurious activation in electrically noisy environments.
Can IRFR214PBF-BE3 be used in avalanche-mode operation?
Yes, IRFR214PBF-BE3 is explicitly rated for repetitive avalanche operation with IAR = 2.2 A and EAR = 2.5 mJ, and single-pulse avalanche energy of 190 mJ. These ratings are validated under defined test conditions (VDD = 50 V, L = 62 mH, Rg = 25 Ω), allowing use in circuits subject to inductive energy dump without external protection components.
