Product details
Overview
IRFR812TRPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 500V, 3.6A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, featuring 1.85Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, 75ns reverse recovery time, and integrated body diode optimized for flyback and snubberless AC-DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR812TRPBF datasheet, IRFR812TRPBF pinout, IRFR812TRPBF application, or IRFR812TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage margin, unclamped inductive switching capability (EAS = 400mJ), thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.8°C/W), and gate charge profile (Qg = 20nC) for hard-switched SMPS designs.
Technical Context
This HEXFET device uses planar vertical DMOS structure with optimized doping profile to achieve stable 500V V(BR)DSS and low temperature coefficient (0.37V/°C). Its body diode exhibits 1.2V forward drop at 3.6A and 75ns trr at 25°C, enabling efficient discontinuous conduction mode operation.
Dynamic parameters are characterized at VDS = 400V with Qgd/Qgs ratio of ~0.97, indicating strong Miller effect control; Coss drops from 47pF at 1V to 16pF at 400V, supporting high-voltage resonant transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | 500V - Withstands full mains-referenced DC bus in 230VAC systems with 20% derating margin |
| RDS(on) typ. | 1.85Ω @ VGS = 10V - Enables <1.2W conduction loss at 3.6A continuous drain current |
| trr typ. | 75ns @ TJ = 25°C - Limits switching loss during diode commutation in flyback snubberless topologies |
| Qg | 20nC - Requires ≤1W gate driver dissipation at 100kHz with 10V swing and 5Ω source impedance |
| EAS | 400mJ - Supports single-pulse unclamped inductive energy handling up to 1.8A at 250V |
| RθJC | 1.8°C/W - Delivers 78W PD at TC = 25°C with minimal heatsink requirement |
| dv/dt rating | 32V/ns - Resists false turn-on in high-noise industrial motor drive gate loops |
Pinout & Package
IRFR812TRPBF is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252) package with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement and mechanical stability on PCBs. The package meets JEDEC MO-238 standard and supports lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Power return path for load current | Connected to ground plane; carries full load current and body diode reverse recovery charge |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring <100nA leakage; sensitive to ESD and requires RC snubbing in high-dv/dt environments |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Main power output node | Exposed copper pad tied to internal die drain; primary thermal path to PCB copper area |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enhancement-mode operation | Guarantees normally-off behavior with VGS(th) = 3.0–5.0V, eliminating need for active pull-down in standby |
| Low gate charge asymmetry | Qgd/Qgs ≈ 0.97 enables predictable Miller plateau timing for precise dead-time control |
| High avalanche ruggedness | Rated for repetitive unclamped inductive switching up to IAR = 3.6A without degradation |
| Thermally robust construction | 1.8°C/W junction-to-case resistance allows direct mounting to 1"² FR-4 copper without external heatsink |
| Lead-free qualified | Meets consumer-level RoHS requirements with Pb-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP5NK50ZFP | 500V, 4.5A, RDS(on) = 1.4Ω, trr = 120ns, TO-220FP package | Higher current rating but slower diode recovery; requires heatsink due to higher RθJA | Preferred when board space permits through-hole mounting and higher peak current is needed |
| FQP5N50CTU | 500V, 4.5A, RDS(on) = 1.4Ω, trr = 100ns, TO-220 package | Same voltage/current specs but lacks lead-free qualification and has no avalanche rating | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-medical/non-industrial applications with controlled thermal environment |
Compared with STP5NK50ZFP and FQP5N50CTU, IRFR812TRPBF offers superior thermal performance in surface-mount form factor, certified avalanche capability for reliability-critical designs, and tighter trr tolerance-making it optimal for compact, high-efficiency flyback converters where PCB area and safety margins are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The IRFR812TRPBF supports 2.3A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C with VGS = 10V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the D-Pak package and must be validated against actual PCB copper area and ambient airflow in the final layout.
Does this MOSFET require a gate resistor for reliable operation?
Yes-a gate resistor between 5Ω and 22Ω is recommended to dampen ringing caused by Lg–Ciss resonance and limit peak gate current during fast transitions. The 20nC total gate charge and 7.1nC Miller charge necessitate controlled slew rate to prevent shoot-through in half-bridge configurations.
Can IRFR812TRPBF replace IRFR820 in existing designs?
No-IRFR820 is rated for 500V but has RDS(on) = 3.0Ω and lower ID = 2.5A. Substituting IRFR812TRPBF improves conduction loss by 38% and increases current capability by 44%, but requires verification of gate drive strength and PCB thermal relief due to higher power density.
Is the body diode suitable for freewheeling in synchronous rectification?
The body diode is not optimized for synchronous rectification due to its 1.2V forward drop and 75ns recovery time. It functions reliably in flyback snubberless operation and clamp circuits, but dedicated low-VF Schottky or MOSFET synchronous rectifiers are preferred for >90% efficiency targets.
