Product details
Overview
IRFR4104TRLPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 40V N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, featuring 5.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 42 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, 175°C maximum junction temperature, and rated for repetitive avalanche energy up to 119 mJ - used in high-efficiency DC-DC converters and motor drive half-bridges.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR4104TRLPBF datasheet, IRFR4104TRLPBF pinout, IRFR4104TRLPBF application, or IRFR4104TRLPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance vs. thermal derating, gate charge (59–89 nC), body diode recovery (Qrr = 24–36 nC, trr = 28–42 ns), and safe operating area under unclamped inductive switching.
Technical Context
This HEXFET® device employs advanced silicon processing to minimize conduction loss per unit area while maintaining robustness against transient overloads. Its design integrates a low-inductance internal structure (LD = 4.5 nH, LS = 7.5 nH) and supports fast switching with td(on) = 17 ns, tr = 69 ns, td(off) = 37 ns, and tf = 36 ns under standardized test conditions (VDD = 20 V, ID = 42 A, RG = 6.8 Ω).
The MOSFET includes an integral body diode with VSD ≤ 1.3 V at IS = 42 A and exhibits thermally limited single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 119 mJ, validated up to Tjmax = 175°C. Repetitive avalanche operation is permitted within defined pulse width and duty cycle limits per Figures 15–16 in the official datasheet.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; sets upper limit for bus voltage in buck converters and H-bridge legs. |
| RDS(on) | 5.5 mΩ max @ VGS = 10 V - Determines conduction loss (Pcond ≈ ID² × RDS(on)) at full load in high-current power stages. |
| ID (continuous) | 42 A @ TC = 25°C - Sustained current capability with heatsink; derates to ~14 A at TC = 100°C per linear derating factor of 0.95 W/°C. |
| Qg | 59–89 nC - Total gate charge defining driver strength requirement; impacts switching loss and gate drive loop stability. |
| trr / Qrr | 28–42 ns / 24–36 nC - Body diode reverse recovery metrics critical for synchronous rectification efficiency and EMI in hard-switched topologies. |
| RθJC | 1.05 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enabling direct heatsink mounting; allows ~95 W power dissipation at ΔT = 100°C. |
Pinout & Package
IRFR4104TRLPBF is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252) package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The three terminals are arranged in standard configuration: Gate (G), Drain (D), Source (S).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current-carrying terminal connected to high-side switch node or bus rail | Exposed copper pad on bottom side - must be soldered to large PCB copper pour for thermal management and low-inductance return path. |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; connects to power ground or low-side switch | Internally bonded to substrate; forms common reference for VGS control and enables Kelvin source sensing in precision applications. |
| Gate (G) | Control input regulating channel conductivity via electric field | High-impedance MOS gate requiring controlled slew rate; sensitive to ESD and ringing - needs local RC snubber or gate resistor for reliable turn-on/turn-off. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 5.5 mΩ max at 10 V drive enables <1 W conduction loss at 42 A - reduces heatsink size and improves system efficiency in 12–24 V industrial supplies. |
| 175°C junction rating | Extended thermal margin allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without forced air cooling. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Validated for repeated unclamped inductive switching events up to 119 mJ - eliminates need for external clamping in motor drive flyback paths. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr ≤ 42 ns and Qrr ≤ 36 nC reduce cross-conduction losses and voltage overshoot during commutation in half-bridge configurations. |
Applications
| Motor Drive Half-Bridge | DC-DC Synchronous Buck Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving brushed DC or stepper motor phases in industrial automation controllers with PWM frequencies up to 100 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switching element in half-bridge topology; handles bidirectional current during PWM dead-time and regenerative braking. Use Value: Low RDS(on) minimizes I²R heating during continuous conduction mode; fast body diode recovery prevents shoot-through during polarity reversal. | Use Scenario: High-current step-down conversion from 12 V or 24 V input to 3.3 V or 5 V for FPGA or microcontroller power rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier in buck converter output stage; replaces Schottky diode to improve efficiency at >10 A loads. Use Value: 5.5 mΩ RDS(on) cuts conduction loss by >60% vs. typical 40 V Schottky; Qrr < 36 nC suppresses voltage spikes during freewheeling transitions. |
| Automotive HVAC Blower Control | Industrial LED Driver Switch |
Use Scenario: PWM-controlled blower fan in automotive cabin climate systems with load currents up to 35 A and ambient temperatures up to 105°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current switching transistor interfacing MCU PWM output to brushless fan motor via external gate driver. Use Value: 175°C Tjmax ensures reliability under hood temperature cycling; repetitive avalanche rating absorbs inductive kickback from motor windings. | Use Scenario: Constant-current switching regulator for high-brightness LED arrays in street lighting or signage, operating at 20–100 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary switching FET in buck-based constant-current LED driver; modulates average LED current via duty cycle control. Use Value: Fast switching (tf = 36 ns) enables high-frequency operation to shrink magnetics; low Qg reduces gate drive power consumption in isolated gate driver designs. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP40NF10L | RDS(on) = 10 mΩ @ 10 V; higher on-resistance, lower ID (40 A); TO-220 package | Requires larger heatsink and cannot match thermal performance in D-Pak footprint | Prefer when through-hole assembly or legacy board layout mandates TO-220 |
| IXTP40N10P | RDS(on) = 12.5 mΩ @ 10 V; TO-220FP package; no avalanche rating specified | Lacks documented repetitive avalanche capability - unsuitable for inductive load switching without external protection | Select only for resistive or capacitive loads where avalanche stress is absent |
Compared with STP40NF10L and IXTP40N10P, IRFR4104TRLPBF delivers superior conduction efficiency and integrated avalanche ruggedness in a compact surface-mount package - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability motor and power supply designs where thermal and transient robustness are critical.

FAQ
Is IRFR4104TRLPBF lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, IRFR4104TRLPBF is lead-free and RoHS compliant, as indicated by the "PbF" suffix in its full part number and confirmed in Infineon's official product documentation and material declarations. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and contains no intentionally added lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).
What is the maximum gate-source voltage rating for safe operation?
The absolute maximum VGS rating is ±20 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation beyond this range risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable switching, gate drive should be limited to 10–15 V for full enhancement, with transient overshoot suppressed using gate clamping or Zener diodes to avoid exceeding ±20 V.
Can IRFR4104TRLPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, IRFR4104TRLPBF supports paralleling due to its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on), which promotes current sharing as junction temperature rises. Successful implementation requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical PCB layout, and thermal coupling - verified in application note AN-1001. Derating total current by 15% is recommended for long-term reliability.
Does the device include integrated ESD protection on the gate?
No, IRFR4104TRLPBF does not incorporate built-in gate ESD protection circuitry. Its gate oxide is susceptible to electrostatic discharge; handling requires strict adherence to Class 1A ESD control (≤250 V HBM). Recommended practices include using grounded wrist straps, conductive foam storage, and series gate resistors (≥10 Ω) to dampen fast transients during PCB assembly and testing.
