Product details
Overview
IRFR2905ZTRLPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, rated for 55V VDSS, 42A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and 14.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V. It features 175°C maximum junction temperature, fast switching (tr = 66 ns, tf = 35 ns), and rated repetitive avalanche capability - optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and motor control in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR2905ZTRLPBF datasheet, IRFR2905ZTRLPBF pinout, IRFR2905ZTRLPBF application, or IRFR2905ZTRLPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) at 10V gate drive, body diode recovery performance (trr = 23–35 ns, Qrr = 16–24 nC), thermal robustness (RθJC = 1.38 °C/W), and unclamped inductive switching reliability up to Tjmax.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced silicon processing to minimize conduction loss per unit area while maintaining ruggedness under transient stress. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 29–44 nC, Qgd = 12 nC) supports efficient hard-switching operation with moderate gate drive strength. The integral body diode exhibits low forward voltage (VSD ≤ 1.3 V at 36 A) and controlled reverse recovery behavior critical for synchronous rectification and H-bridge commutation.
The device's safe operating area (SOA) is defined by both RDS(on)-limited conduction and transient thermal limits, with validated repetitive avalanche energy (EAR) up to 60 mJ at TJ = 25°C. Thermal impedance data (ZthJC) enables accurate pulse-power derating in short-duration, high-current applications such as solenoid drivers and UPS inverters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; sets upper limit for bus voltage in buck converters and half-bridge topologies. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 14.5 mΩ max - Directly determines I²R conduction loss at full load; enables <1.5 W dissipation at 42 A DC. |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 42 A - Continuous current rating under ideal heatsink conditions; defines minimum PCB copper area and thermal pad design. |
| tr/tf | 66 ns / 35 ns - Fast edge rates reduce switching transition time, lowering overlap loss in PWM stages operating up to 200 kHz. |
| Qg | 44 nC max - Total gate charge dictates required gate driver peak current (e.g., ≥3 A for 100 ns turn-on with 15 Ω gate resistor). |
| EAS | 240 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating confirms robustness against inductive kickback in relay/motor drive circuits. |
| TJ max | 175°C - Enables operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without forced air cooling. |
Pinout & Package
IRFR2905ZTRLPBF uses the surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252AA) package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The three terminals are arranged in a single-row configuration compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated assembly.
| 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 thermal plane for RθJC = 1.38 °C/W performance. |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Low-inductance source connection critical for minimizing ground bounce during fast switching; LS = 7.5 nH typical. |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode modulating channel conductivity | High-impedance input requiring stable 10 V drive; RG = 1.3 Ω intrinsic resistance affects gate ringing susceptibility. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 11.1 mΩ typical at VGS = 10 V - Reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. legacy 55 V MOSFETs in same package, improving efficiency in 12–48 V systems. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Validated EAR up to 60 mJ at TJ = 25°C - Eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching, simplifying BOM and layout. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 23–35 ns, Qrr = 16–24 nC - Minimizes reverse recovery loss and EMI in synchronous rectifiers and bidirectional converters. |
| 175°C junction rating | Enables operation at full current in ambient temperatures up to 105°C with proper PCB thermal design - suitable for enclosed industrial drives. |
Applications
| DC-DC Buck Converter | Brushed DC Motor Driver |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP55NF06L | RDS(on) = 12 mΩ @ 10 V, but VDSS = 60 V; higher Qg = 65 nC; TO-220 package only | Requires through-hole assembly and larger heatsink due to higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 62 °C/W) | Prefer when higher voltage margin is needed and board space allows TO-220 mounting. |
| IXTP50N055T | VDSS = 55 V, RDS(on) = 11.5 mΩ, but TO-220 package; no specified repetitive avalanche rating | Lacks documented EAR validation - unsuitable for unclamped inductive switching without external clamping. | Select only in non-avalanche-prone applications where lowest RDS(on) dominates over ruggedness. |
Compared with STP55NF06L and IXTP50N055T, IRFR2905ZTRLPBF offers superior thermal performance in surface-mount form factor, verified repetitive avalanche capability, and balanced gate charge for medium-frequency switching - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability industrial power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The IRFR2905ZTRLPBF supports 24 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the D-Pak package and requires adequate PCB copper area (≥200 mm² per mm of trace width) to maintain junction temperature below 175°C under sustained load.
Does this MOSFET require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes - a series gate resistor (typically 5–15 Ω) is recommended to dampen parasitic oscillation caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 120 pF) interacting with PCB trace inductance. Without it, ringing can exceed VGS absolute maximum (±20 V) and cause premature failure during fast switching transitions.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification?
The integrated body diode has VSD ≤ 1.3 V at 36 A and trr = 23–35 ns, making it usable in low-frequency synchronous rectification (≤50 kHz). However, for high-frequency (>100 kHz) or zero-voltage-switching topologies, an external Schottky diode is preferred due to lower Qrr and reduced recovery loss.
Can IRFR2905ZTRLPBF replace IRFR2905PbF in existing designs?
Yes - IRFR2905ZTRLPBF is the lead-free, tape-and-reel packaged version of IRFR2905PbF, with identical electrical specifications, pinout, and thermal characteristics. No layout or firmware changes are required; only reflow profile adjustments may be needed to accommodate Pb-free soldering temperatures (peak ~260°C).
