Product details
Overview
IRFR9010 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in DPAK (TO-252) surface-mount package, rated for -50 V drain-source voltage, 0.50 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, and -5.3 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It delivers robust avalanche capability (136 mJ single-pulse), high dV/dt immunity (5.8 V/ns), and is optimized for DC/DC converters and low-power switching applications requiring compact, thermally efficient layout.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR9010 datasheet, IRFR9010 pinout, IRFR9010 application, or IRFR9010 equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping, validated thermal and switching parameters, confirmed gate charge values (Qg = 9.1 nC), and real-world design context for synchronous buck topologies, hot-swap circuits, and reverse polarity protection.
Technical Context
The IRFR9010 employs planar V-groove silicon process technology to achieve low on-resistance with high transconductance (gfs = 1.7 S typical). Its body diode exhibits fast reverse recovery (trr = 75 ns typical) and low Qrr (0.22 μC), enabling efficient operation in hard-switched and synchronous rectification roles.
Designed for surface-mount PCB assembly on 16 mm tape, the device features integrated avalanche-rated structure and dynamic dV/dt ruggedness-critical for inductive load switching where voltage transients exceed supply rails. Gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = -2.0 to -4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -50 V - Maximum blocking voltage for negative-rail switching applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiHFR9010-GE3 | Same die, lead-free/halogen-free construction; identical RDS(on), Qg, and avalanche ratings | No functional difference; preferred for RoHS-compliant designs requiring JEDEC-standard packaging | Select SiHFR9010-GE3 when lead-free compliance is mandatory and tape-and-reel logistics align with production planning |
| IRFU9010PbF | Same silicon, IPAK (TO-251) package; identical electrical specs but different thermal path and mounting method | Requires through-hole assembly; higher RthJA (110 °C/W) limits power density vs. DPAK's PCB thermal coupling | Choose IRFU9010PbF only if legacy through-hole manufacturing infrastructure is fixed and board space permits larger footprint |
Compared with IRFR9010, SiHFR9010-GE3 offers identical performance with environmental compliance, while IRFU9010PbF trades surface-mount efficiency for through-hole compatibility-neither is pin-compatible due to differing package outlines (DPAK vs. IPAK), requiring PCB layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFR9010 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFR9010 supports -3.3 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, per its absolute maximum ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the DPAK package; maintaining TC ≤ 100 °C requires adequate PCB copper area or heatsinking. The IRFR9010's RthJC = 5.0 °C/W enables effective junction-to-heatsink thermal transfer when the drain pad is properly soldered to a thermal plane.
Does IRFR9010 support logic-level gate drive?
The IRFR9010 has a gate threshold voltage range of -2.0 V to -4.0 V, making it compatible with logic-level gate drive at -5 V, though full enhancement (RDS(on) ≤ 0.50 Ω) requires VGS = -10 V. For 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs, a level-shifting driver is recommended to ensure robust turn-on and minimize conduction loss. The IRFR9010's Qg = 9.1 nC remains manageable with buffered GPIO drive.
Can IRFR9010 be used in avalanche mode repeatedly?
Yes-the IRFR9010 is explicitly rated for repetitive avalanche operation per its datasheet, with IAR = -5.3 A and pulse width limited by maximum junction temperature. This capability allows safe use in inductive switching applications without external clamping components, provided peak junction temperature stays within -55 °C to +150 °C and duty cycle constraints (e.g., ≤2%) are observed. The IRFR9010's 136 mJ single-pulse EAS validates its ruggedness foundation.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for IRFR9010's DPAK package?
Vishay Application Note 826 specifies minimum DPAK (TO-252) pads for IRFR9010: 10.668 mm × 5.690 mm (0.420" × 0.224") for the thermal drain pad, with 4.572 mm (0.180") width for source and gate lands. Thermal vias under the drain pad (≥6× 0.3 mm diameter) are strongly advised to reduce RthJA from 110 °C/W to ~45 °C/W. The IRFR9010's performance in power applications depends critically on this layout adherence.
How does IRFR9010's body diode compare to standard rectifiers in flyback applications?
The IRFR9010's integrated body diode has trr = 75 ns typical and Qrr = 0.22 μC, significantly faster and lower-loss than general-purpose rectifiers (e.g., 1N5819: trr > 100 ns, Qrr > 1 μC). In flyback snubber or synchronous rectification roles, this reduces reverse recovery spikes and EMI. However, the IRFR9010's VSD = -5.5 V at -5.3 A means it is not optimized as a freewheeling diode alone-its primary value lies in controlled switching, with diode behavior as a secondary feature.
