Product details
Overview
IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 250 V, 3.8 A N-channel surface-mount power MOSFET in DPAK (TO-252) package, featuring 1.1 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 14 nC total gate charge, and repetitive avalanche rating-designed for DC-DC converters, motor control, and industrial power switching where ruggedness and fast switching are required.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 datasheet, IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 pinout, IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 application, or IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal derating data, body 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 structure to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining high dV/dt immunity (4.8 V/ns) and unclamped inductive switching capability. Its 130 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy and 4.2 mJ repetitive avalanche energy support robust operation under transient overloads without external snubbers.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode with 200–400 ns reverse recovery time and 0.93–1.9 μC Qrr, enabling efficient synchronous rectification and freewheeling in hard-switched topologies. Gate drive requirements are defined by 2.7 nC Qgs and 7.8 nC Qgd, supporting clean turn-on/turn-off with minimal Miller-induced oscillation.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDS | 250 V - supports input rails up to 200 V DC with margin for voltage spikes in industrial SMPS |
| RDS(on) | 1.1 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 3.3 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 14 nC - determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed in 100–500 kHz applications |
| ID (TC = 25 °C) | 3.8 A - maximum continuous current with heatsink; derates linearly to 2.4 A at 100 °C case temperature |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 supports 2.4 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, based on its linear derating factor of 0.33 W/°C from the 42 W maximum power dissipation at 25 °C. This value assumes proper PCB copper area per Vishay's DPAK thermal guidelines and accounts for junction-to-case thermal resistance of 3.0 °C/W.
Does IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 require a gate resistor for stable switching?
Yes, IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 benefits from an external gate resistor (typically 10–25 Ω) to control dI/dt and suppress ringing caused by its 7.5 nH internal source inductance and 4.5 nH drain inductance. The datasheet specifies switching times with RG = 18 Ω, confirming that gate resistance directly impacts turn-on delay (7.0 ns), rise time (13 ns), and Miller plateau behavior.
Can IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 be used in avalanche mode repeatedly?
Yes, IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 is explicitly rated for repetitive avalanche operation with IAR = 3.8 A and EAR = 4.2 mJ per pulse, provided pulse width and duty cycle remain within limits defined by maximum junction temperature (150 °C). This capability eliminates need for external avalanche clamps in well-designed inductive load circuits.
What is the body diode forward voltage of IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 at 3.8 A?
The body diode forward voltage (VSD) of IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 is 1.8 V maximum at TJ = 25 °C and IS = 3.8 A with VGS = 0 V. This parameter directly impacts conduction loss during freewheeling intervals in buck, flyback, and half-bridge topologies where the intrinsic diode conducts.
Is IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, IRFR224TRPBF-BE3 is lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free, qualified for lead-free reflow soldering with peak temperature up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. Its DPAK (TO-252) package meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements and is designed for vapor-phase, infrared, and wave soldering per Vishay's packaging specifications.
