Product details
Overview
IRFR3708TR from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 30V, 61A N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, optimized for high-frequency synchronous rectification in isolated DC-DC converters. It delivers 12.5mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V and 14.0mΩ at 4.5V, with ultra-low gate charge (Qg = 24nC), enabling efficient operation in telecom and industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR3708TR datasheet, IRFR3708TR pinout, IRFR3708TR application, or IRFR3708TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30V VDS, 12.5mΩ on-resistance at 10V drive, 24nC total gate charge, 213mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, and D-Pak thermal performance (RθJC = 1.73°C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar HEXFET technology with fully characterized avalanche capability and low reverse transfer capacitance (Crss = 52pF), supporting fast switching in hard-switched and resonant topologies. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 0.6–2.0V) enables robust 4.5V logic-level drive compatibility.
The device integrates a low-VF body diode (0.88V typ. at 31A, 25°C) with 41ns reverse recovery time and 64nC Qrr, reducing switching losses in synchronous rectifier configurations where bidirectional conduction and controlled commutation are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage for 24V-input telecom and industrial DC-DC stages |
| RDS(on) @ VGS=10V | 12.5mΩ max - Enables <1W conduction loss at 61A continuous current in PCB-mount applications |
| Qg | 24nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables >500kHz switching in high-efficiency SMPS designs |
| EAS | 213mJ - Supports unclamped inductive switching stress without failure in synchronous rectifier flyback or forward converters |
| RθJC | 1.73°C/W - Allows direct heatsinking via D-Pak exposed drain pad for thermal management in compact power modules |
| VGS(th) | 0.6–2.0V - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3V/5V controller outputs and noise margin against false triggering |
| Qrr | 64–96nC - Limits diode recovery loss and EMI generation during hard commutation in synchronous rectification |
Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. Standard 3-pin configuration: Gate (G), Drain (D), Source (S). Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gate (G) | Control input | Receives PWM signal; low input capacitance (Ciss = 2417pF) minimizes driver loading |
| Drain (D) | High-side switch node | Exposed metal tab - electrically connected to drain; must be isolated from heatsink unless referenced to same potential |
| Source (S) | Return path / reference | Common node for gate drive return and current sensing; ties to low-side switch or ground in synchronous rectifier layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5V | 14.0mΩ max - supports direct drive from 5V microcontrollers and PWM controllers without level-shifting |
| Low gate-to-drain charge | Qgd = 5.8nC - reduces Miller-induced switching delay and improves dV/dt immunity in high-side configurations |
| Characterized avalanche rating | IAR = 62A, EAS = 213mJ - eliminates need for external snubbers in clamp or flyback circuits with known inductive energy |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | IRFR3708TR marked "PbF" - meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) for standard reflow assembly |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR3708PbF | Same die, but in TO-220AB package - higher RθJA (62°C/W vs. 50°C/W), no exposed drain pad | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or lower-power heatsinked designs; not drop-in for D-Pak PCB layouts | Select when mechanical mounting constraints favor through-hole or when board space allows larger footprint |
| STP30NF20 | 200V VDS, 30A ID, 40mΩ RDS(on) - higher voltage rating but significantly higher on-resistance and gate charge | Applicable in higher-bus-voltage industrial inverters, not suitable for 30V synchronous rectification | Choose only if system requires >100V blocking; avoid for 24–48V SMPS due to 3× higher conduction loss |
Compared with IRFR3708TR, the IRLR3708PbF offers identical electrical specs but inferior thermal performance in surface-mount assemblies, while the STP30NF20 trades voltage headroom for substantially reduced efficiency in low-voltage, high-current roles - making IRFR3708TR optimal for compact, high-frequency 30V power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFR3708TR at 70°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 51A at TC = 70°C with VGS = 10V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This reflects thermal derating from the 61A rating at 25°C, based on the device's 0.58W/°C linear derating factor and 61W power dissipation limit at 70°C.
Can IRFR3708TR be driven directly by a 3.3V microcontroller GPIO?
No - while its gate threshold voltage starts at 0.6V, reliable enhancement requires ≥4.5V to achieve specified RDS(on) (14.0mΩ max). A 3.3V drive yields significantly higher on-resistance (>30mΩ), increasing conduction loss. A gate driver or level shifter is required for full performance.
Does IRFR3708TR have built-in ESD protection on the gate?
No - the device lacks integrated gate protection diodes. Its gate oxide is rated for ±12V absolute maximum VGS; exceeding this risks permanent damage. External 12V Zener clamps or series resistors are recommended in noisy environments or manual handling scenarios.
Is the exposed drain pad on the D-Pak package electrically connected to the drain terminal?
Yes - the large copper tab on the underside of the D-Pak package is internally bonded to the drain. It serves as both the primary thermal path and the drain electrical connection. When mounted on a PCB, it must be routed to the drain net and thermally connected to a copper pour, with appropriate isolation if heatsinking to chassis ground.
