Product details
Overview
IRFU024NPBFAKLA1 from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 55 V, 11 A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO-251AA (IPAK) package, featuring 0.075 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 100% avalanche-rated, and optimized for DC-DC converters and motor control switches.
For engineers reviewing the IRFU024NPBFAKLA1 datasheet, IRFU024NPBFAKLA1 pinout, IRFU024NPBFAKLA1 application, or IRFU024NPBFAKLA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on), Qg, thermal resistance (RθJA = 62 °C/W), SOA compliance, and lead-free RoHS-compliant packaging.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe DMOS technology with a fully characterized unclamped inductive switching (UIS) capability. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 2.0 V to 4.0 V, and it supports logic-level drive down to 4.5 V with guaranteed RDS(on) ≤ 0.105 Ω.
The device features a low gate charge (Qg = 21 nC typical at VGS = 10 V) and fast switching transitions (trise = 18 ns, tfall = 12 ns), enabling high-efficiency operation in hard-switched topologies up to 200 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - maximum drain-source blocking voltage for 24 V system-level power switches |
| ID (continuous) | 11 A @ TC = 25 °C - continuous current handling with heatsink mounting |
| RDS(on) | 0.075 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - conduction loss of ≤0.9 W at 11 A, critical for thermal budget in compact layouts |
| Qg | 21 nC @ VGS = 10 V - enables efficient gate driving with standard 1-A peak drivers |
| RθJA | 62 °C/W - junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in standard PCB layout (1 in² copper, 2 oz) |
| UIS Rating | 100% tested - supports robust operation under inductive load turn-off without external snubbers |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-251AA (IPAK), surface-mount variant of TO-251 with isolated tab, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current-carrying terminal | Connected to tab; electrically tied to PCB copper pour for thermal and current path |
| Gate (G) | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <100 nA bias; sensitive to ESD |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Common connection point for low-side switch configuration and gate driver ground reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% UIS tested | Guarantees reliable operation during inductive load switching without derating |
| Low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit | 1.58 Ω·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for mid-frequency SMPS |
| Logic-level compatible | Specified RDS(on) ≤ 0.105 Ω at VGS = 4.5 V - supports direct microcontroller GPIO drive |
| Lead-free and RoHS compliant | Meets IPC-J-STD-609 Class 1 definition; no exemption required for Pb content |
Applications
| Brushless DC Motor Control | DC-DC Synchronous Buck Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Low-voltage BLDC inverter stage for fans, pumps, and power tools operating from 12–24 V bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side power switch in 3-phase half-bridge configuration, commutated at 10–20 kHz. Use Value: Low RDS(on) minimizes I²R loss in high-current phase legs; 100% UIS rating prevents failure during PWM dead-time transitions. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectifier in 12 V input, 3.3/5 V output buck converter for industrial PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier switch replacing Schottky diode, driven by controller's complementary output. Use Value: 0.075 Ω RDS(on) reduces conduction loss by >40% vs. 40 V Schottky, improving full-load efficiency from 89% to 93%. |
| LED Driver Power Stage | Load Switch for Industrial I/O |
Use Scenario: Constant-current LED string driver for signage and machine vision lighting, powered from 24 V supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side or low-side current-regulating switch modulated at 1–10 kHz PWM frequency. Use Value: Fast tfall (12 ns) ensures clean PWM edge fidelity; low Qg allows minimal gate drive power in space-constrained LED driver PCBs. | Use Scenario: 24 V DC load switch for solenoid, relay, or sensor power enable in factory automation controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-pole, single-throw electronic switch controlled by microcontroller GPIO. Use Value: Logic-level compatibility eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry; 11 A rating supports 10 A continuous solenoid loads with margin. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLU024NPBF | Same die, TO-220AB package; RθJA = 62 °C/W (same), but higher RθJC due to plastic body | Requires through-hole assembly and larger heatsink footprint | Preferred when board-level thermal mass is limited and discrete heatsinking is available |
| STP12NF55 | 55 V, 12 A, RDS(on) = 0.085 Ω @ 10 V; Qg = 25 nC; not 100% UIS tested | Lacks guaranteed avalanche ruggedness; requires external clamping in inductive loads | Acceptable only in non-inductive or snubber-protected applications with tighter cost targets |
Compared with IRLU024NPBF and STP12NF55, IRFU024NPBFAKLA1 offers superior board-level thermal performance via its IPAK package and field-proven UIS reliability-critical for motor control and unregulated load switching where transient overvoltage is unavoidable.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for IRFU024NPBFAKLA1?
The device has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of 175 °C. In practice, sustained operation above 150 °C requires careful thermal design-measured RθJA is 62 °C/W on 1 in² 2 oz copper, so at 11 A and 0.075 Ω RDS(on), ambient must stay below 75 °C to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C.
Can IRFU024NPBFAKLA1 be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
No-its VGS(th) min is 2.0 V, but RDS(on) is not specified below 4.5 V. At 3.3 V, RDS(on) exceeds 0.2 Ω, causing excessive conduction loss. A gate driver or level shifter is required for reliable 3.3 V logic interface.
Is IRFU024NPBFAKLA1 suitable for use in automotive applications?
It is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While used in some automotive aftermarket modules, it lacks automotive-grade qualification, extended temperature screening, and zero-defect manufacturing controls required for OEM powertrain or chassis systems.
Does the "P" in the part number indicate lead-free compliance?
Yes-the "P" in IRFU024NPBFAKLA1 denotes lead-free termination per JEDEC J-STD-609, confirmed by Infineon's material declaration. The device meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU Annex II requirements with Pb content < 0.1 wt%.
