Product details
Overview
IRFU13N20DPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 200 V, 13 A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO-251AA (IPAK) package, optimized for switch-mode power supply (SMPS) primary-side switching with RDS(on) = 0.28 Ω at VGS = 10 V and Qg = 24 nC. It operates in hard-switched flyback and forward converters in AC-DC adapters.
For engineers reviewing the IRFU13N20DPBF datasheet, IRFU13N20DPBF pinout, IRFU13N20DPBF application, or IRFU13N20DPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage margin, gate charge for PWM controller compatibility, thermal resistance in through-hole mounting, and lead-free compliance for industrial power supplies.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology with optimized cell pitch to balance conduction loss and switching speed. Its 200 V VDSS rating supports 170 VAC input designs with 20% line surge margin, and the 13 A ID rating is specified at TC = 25 °C with derating to 7.5 A at 100 °C case temperature.
The device features a built-in fast-recovery body diode (trr = 55 ns, Qrr = 32 nC) and is characterized for gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) between 2.0 V and 4.0 V, enabling direct drive from standard 5 V or 3.3 V PWM controllers without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 200 V - Supports 170 VAC mains with 20% surge tolerance in offline SMPS |
| ID @ TC = 25 °C | 13 A - Continuous drain current rating for TO-251AA package at low case temperature |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.28 Ω - Conduction loss of 47 W at 13 A, dictating heatsink sizing in 65–100 kHz converters |
| Qg | 24 nC - Gate charge determines driver strength requirement and switching loss at 65 kHz |
| trr | 55 ns - Body diode reverse recovery time impacts snubber design and EMI in discontinuous conduction mode |
| RθJC | 3.5 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance defines maximum power dissipation under forced-air cooling |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-251AA (IPAK), single-ended through-hole, 3-pin, lead-free (PbF) per RoHS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main high-side power terminal | Connected to primary winding of transformer; carries full switching current and withstands 200 V transients |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Receives PWM signal; requires 10 V drive for full enhancement; Miller plateau at ~3.5 V |
| Source (S) | Power return and reference node | Common connection point for current-sense resistor and gate driver ground; referenced to primary-side ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Lead-free (PbF) construction | Meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; no lead in die attach, plating, or mold compound |
| Fast body diode | trr = 55 ns enables efficient DCM operation without external freewheeling diode in flyback topologies |
| Low gate charge | Qg = 24 nC reduces driver IC power consumption and allows use of low-cost 5 V PWM controllers |
| Enhancement-mode operation | VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V ensures reliable turn-off with zero gate voltage and eliminates need for negative bias |
Applications
| AC-DC Adapter | Industrial DC-DC Converter |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side switching MOSFET in quasi-resonant flyback topology operating at 65 kHz.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage SMPS MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP14NK20ZFP | VDSS = 200 V, RDS(on) = 0.29 Ω, Qg = 26 nC, TO-220FP package | Higher thermal resistance (RθJC = 4.0 °C/W); requires larger heatsink in same footprint | Preferred where board space permits TO-220FP and higher peak current margin is needed |
| FQP13N20L | VDSS = 200 V, RDS(on) = 0.32 Ω, Qg = 22 nC, TO-220 package | Non-lead-free; lacks RoHS compliance; slower trr (75 ns) increases EMI in DCM | Only suitable for legacy non-RoHS programs with cost-sensitive BOMs and relaxed EMI limits |
Compared with STP14NK20ZFP and FQP13N20L, IRFU13N20DPBF offers superior thermal performance in compact through-hole layouts and guaranteed lead-free compliance, making it optimal for new industrial and telecom power designs requiring regulatory alignment and manual assembly support.

FAQ
Is IRFU13N20DPBF pin-compatible with IRFU120?
Yes - both use TO-251AA (IPAK) package with identical Drain-Gate-Source pinout. However, IRFU13N20DPBF has 200 V VDSS and 0.28 Ω RDS(on), while IRFU120 is rated at 100 V and 0.27 Ω. Direct substitution requires verification of voltage stress margins in the target circuit.
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage?
The absolute maximum gate-source voltage is ±20 V, but the device achieves full enhancement at VGS = 10 V. Driving above 12 V provides no significant RDS(on) improvement and increases risk of gate oxide stress during transients.
Does IRFU13N20DPBF require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes - a 10–22 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing caused by PCB trace inductance and MOSFET input capacitance. This prevents false triggering and reduces EMI, especially in high-frequency SMPS layouts with >5 cm gate traces.
Can this MOSFET be used in synchronous rectification?
No - IRFU13N20DPBF is designed as a primary-side switch only. Its body diode recovery characteristics and lack of bidirectional gate control make it unsuitable for secondary-side synchronous rectification; dedicated SR controllers and logic-level MOSFETs are required instead.
