Product details
Overview
IRFR48ZTRLPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 55V, 42A N-channel D-Pak power MOSFET with 11 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 175°C maximum junction temperature, and rated repetitive avalanche energy up to 74 mJ. It serves as a high-efficiency switching element in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and power supplies where low conduction loss and robust thermal performance are critical.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR48ZTRLPBF datasheet, IRFR48ZTRLPBF pinout, IRFR48ZTRLPBF application, or IRFR48ZTRLPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.64°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 40 nC total gate charge, 15 ns turn-on delay, body diode reverse recovery time of 20–40 ns, and compatibility with standard PCB-mount thermal management.
Technical Context
This HEXFET® device uses advanced silicon processing to minimize on-resistance per die area while maintaining ruggedness. Its design integrates a fast-switching capability (tr = 61 ns, tf = 35 ns) and supports unclamped inductive switching with validated repetitive avalanche operation up to Tjmax.
The MOSFET features an integral body diode with VSD = 1.3 V at 37 A and Qrr = 14–28 nC, enabling efficient synchronous rectification and flyback recovery. Gate threshold voltage is tightly specified (2.0–4.0 V), supporting reliable TTL/CMOS-level drive without external level shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 55 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines safe operating range in 48 V bus systems. |
| RDS(on) | 11 mΩ max @ VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25°C - Enables <1.9 W conduction loss at 42 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID (cont) | 42 A @ TC = 25°C - Continuous current rating under ideal case cooling; derates to 25 A at TC = 100°C. |
| Qg | 40–60 nC - Total gate charge determines driver strength needed; compatible with common 1-A peak gate drivers. |
| Tj max | 175°C - Enables operation in high-ambient industrial environments without thermal shutdown. |
| EAS | 74 mJ (tested) - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating confirms robustness against inductive switching transients. |
| RθJC | 1.64°C/W - Low junction-to-case thermal resistance allows direct heatsinking via PCB copper or clip-mount solutions. |
Pinout & Package
IRFR48ZTRLPBF is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252AA) package with three terminals: Drain (tab), Source (pins 1 & 2), and Gate (pin 3). The exposed drain pad provides primary thermal path to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current-carrying terminal, electrically connected to backside metal | Primary thermal interface; must be soldered to ≥100 mm² copper pour for rated power dissipation. |
| Source (Pins 1 & 2) | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Low-inductance dual-pin layout minimizes source inductance (LS = 7.5 nH) to suppress ringing during hard switching. |
| Gate (Pin 3) | Control electrode for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring <200 nA leakage current; sensitive to ESD but tolerant of ±20 V transient voltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 11 mΩ enables >96% efficiency in 12–48 V buck converters at 20–40 A load currents. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | Validated operation up to Tjmax ensures reliability in unclamped inductive switching without snubbers. |
| Fast body diode | 20–40 ns trr and 14–28 nC Qrr reduce switching losses in synchronous rectifier and half-bridge topologies. |
| 175°C junction rating | Supports extended lifetime in sealed enclosures or high-ambient automotive under-hood applications. |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profile; qualified for 260°C peak temperature, 10-second duration. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFR4620TRLPBF | 55 V, 14 mΩ RDS(on), 32 A ID, lower Qg (32 nC) | Lower current rating and higher on-resistance limit use in high-efficiency 40+ A designs | Select when gate drive capability is limited and 32 A continuous current suffices. |
| STP55NF06L-1 | 60 V, 11 mΩ RDS(on), 50 A ID, TO-220 package | Through-hole mounting and higher current rating suit legacy board designs with manual assembly | Choose for through-hole prototyping or where D-Pak thermal interface is impractical. |
Compared with IRFR4620TRLPBF, IRFR48ZTRLPBF delivers 25% lower conduction loss at full load but requires ~25% more gate drive energy; versus STP55NF06L-1, it offers superior thermal performance in surface-mount layouts but lacks mechanical screw-mount stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-to-source voltage for IRFR48ZTRLPBF?
The absolute maximum VGS rating is ±20 V. Operation beyond this risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable long-term use, gate drive should be limited to +10 V to +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to 0 V for turn-off, matching the device's 2.0–4.0 V threshold range and minimizing Miller-induced false triggering.
Does IRFR48ZTRLPBF require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes - a series gate resistor is required to dampen ringing and control dV/dt. Based on its 40–60 nC Qg and typical 1-A peak gate driver output, a 10–12 Ω resistor is recommended for 300–500 kHz switching. Lower values (<5 Ω) increase switching speed but risk overshoot; higher values (>22 Ω) slow turn-on and raise switching losses.
Can IRFR48ZTRLPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (1.5× increase from 25°C to 175°C) enables inherent current sharing. Successful paralleling requires matched layout (symmetrical trace lengths, shared gate drive node), identical gate resistors, and thermal coupling via common heatsink or copper plane to ensure uniform junction temperature rise.
Is the body diode in IRFR48ZTRLPBF suitable for synchronous rectification?
Yes - the integrated body diode has a forward voltage of ≤1.3 V at 37 A and reverse recovery time of 20–40 ns, making it viable for low-frequency synchronous rectification (≤100 kHz). However, for high-frequency (>200 kHz) or zero-voltage switching topologies, an external Schottky diode may still be preferred to minimize Qrr-related losses.
