Product details
Overview
IRFR9214 from Vishay Siliconix is a surface-mount P-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in DPAK (TO-252) package, rated for -250 V drain-source voltage, 3.0 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, and -2.7 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It delivers fast switching, fully avalanche-rated ruggedness, and integrated body diode performance for high-voltage DC-DC conversion and industrial power control.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR9214 datasheet, IRFR9214 pinout, IRFR9214 application, or IRFR9214 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -250 V blocking capability, 14 nC total gate charge, 100 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, thermal resistance of 2.5 °C/W junction-to-case, and compatibility with vapor-phase and wave soldering processes.
Technical Context
This P-channel MOSFET uses third-generation silicon process technology to achieve low on-resistance per die area while maintaining robust avalanche performance. Its gate threshold voltage range (-2.0 V to -4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard -10 V gate drive and supports logic-level compatibility when paired with appropriate level-shifting circuitry.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode with 150–220 ns reverse recovery time and 870–1300 nC Qrr, enabling efficient synchronous rectification and unclamped inductive switching. Its SOA is limited by RDS(on) at low VDS and by thermal constraints at high VDS, with pulse width and duty cycle restrictions defined per Figure 7.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDS | -250 V - Maximum blocking voltage for high-side switch or reverse polarity protection in 200 V-class systems |
| RDS(on) | 3.0 Ω @ VGS = -10 V - On-state resistance defining conduction loss at rated current; increases with temperature |
| ID (cont.) | -2.7 A @ TC = 25 °C - Continuous current capability under heatsink-cooled conditions; derates linearly above 25 °C |

|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-side switch in 100–200 V DC bus protection circuits for servo drives and PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: P-channel MOSFET configured as reverse polarity and overvoltage clamp; operates in static on/off mode with infrequent switching. Use Value: -250 V VDS rating provides 25 % margin above 200 V rail; fully avalanche-rated behavior prevents failure during bus fault transients. |
Use Scenario: Synchronous rectifier in isolated flyback converter delivering 12 V/2 A from 170–200 V DC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side P-channel switch replacing Schottky diode; driven by transformer-coupled gate signal with dead-time control. Use Value: 3.0 Ω RDS(on) reduces conduction loss vs. 0.5 V diode drop; fast trr minimizes switching loss during zero-voltage turn-on. |
| Reverse Polarity Protection | AC-DC Front-End Switching |
Use Scenario: Input protection for 48 V telecom power supplies where accidental battery reversal must be blocked without voltage drop. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side P-channel switch placed between input and bulk capacitor; turned on only during correct polarity condition. Use Value: -2.7 A ID supports 2 A continuous load; -5.8 V VSD limits forward drop during startup inrush, reducing thermal stress. |
Use Scenario: High-voltage switching element in active clamp forward converter operating from rectified 230 V AC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switch in high-side configuration; subjected to repetitive 100–200 V VDS transitions at 50–100 kHz. Use Value: 14 nC Qg enables efficient drive with low-power gate driver ICs; 2.5 °C/W RthJC allows heatsink-free operation at ≤1 W dissipation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel high-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiHFR9214-GE3 | Same silicon die and DPAK package; Pb-free/halogen-free construction per JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 2a | No functional difference; suitable for RoHS-compliant production with identical thermal and electrical behavior | Select SiHFR9214-GE3 for new designs requiring full environmental compliance without qualification retesting |
| IRFU9214PbF | Identical electrical specs but IPAK (TO-251) through-hole package; no exposed drain pad; higher RthJA (110 °C/W) | Requires manual or wave-solder assembly; less effective thermal management; unsuitable for high-power density layouts | Choose IRFU9214PbF only when legacy through-hole manufacturing or board-level repairability is mandatory |
Compared with IRFR9214, SiHFR9214-GE3 offers identical performance with enhanced environmental compliance, while IRFU9214PbF trades surface-mount efficiency and thermal performance for through-hole assembly flexibility-neither is pin-compatible due to differing package outlines and thermal pad geometry.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for IRFR9214 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFR9214 supports -1.7 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the DPAK package and requires adequate PCB copper area or heatsinking to maintain junction temperature below 150 °C under sustained load.
Does IRFR9214 have a built-in body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, the IRFR9214 integrates a source-drain body diode with -5.8 V forward voltage at -2.7 A and 25 °C, 150–220 ns reverse recovery time, and 870–1300 nC reverse recovery charge. These values are measured under standardized conditions (TJ = 25 °C, IF = -1.7 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs) and define freewheeling performance in converter topologies.
Can IRFR9214 be used in logic-level gate drive applications?
The IRFR9214 has a gate threshold voltage range of -2.0 V to -4.0 V, making it partially compatible with logic-level drive, but full enhancement requires VGS ≤ -10 V for guaranteed RDS(on) ≤ 3.0 Ω. For true logic-level operation, a dedicated -4.5 V or -3.3 V rated P-channel MOSFET should be selected instead.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for IRFR9214 in DPAK (TO-252) package?
Vishay Application Note 826 specifies a minimum pad layout for IRFR9214: 6.18 mm × 10.67 mm copper area for the drain pad, with 2.28 mm spacing between source and gate pads. Thermal vias under the drain pad are strongly recommended to enhance heat transfer to inner layers or backside copper.
Is IRFR9214 suitable for avalanche energy handling in unclamped inductive switching?
Yes, the IRFR9214 is fully avalanche rated with 100 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) and 5.0 mJ repetitive avalanche energy (EAR). These ratings are validated per test conditions in Figure 12 and allow safe operation during inductive turn-off events without external clamping components.
