Product details
Overview
IRFU3504ZPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 40V, 42A N-channel DPAK-packaged Power MOSFET with 9.0mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, 175°C maximum junction temperature, and rated repetitive avalanche energy up to 77mJ. It serves as a high-efficiency main or synchronous rectifier switch in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRFU3504ZPBF datasheet, IRFU3504ZPBF pinout, IRFU3504ZPBF application, or IRFU3504ZPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low conduction loss, fast switching (tr = 74ns, tf = 38ns), body diode recovery performance (Qrr = 9.2–14nC), and thermal robustness for high-current industrial and automotive power stages.
Technical Context
This HEXFET® device uses advanced silicon processing to minimize RDS(on) per unit area while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching capability. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 30–45nC, Qgd = 12nC) supports efficient hard-switching operation with moderate gate drive strength.
The integrated body diode exhibits low forward voltage (VSD ≤ 1.3V at 42A) and controlled reverse recovery (trr = 18–27ns, Qrr = 9.2–14nC), enabling reliable operation in synchronous buck topologies without external Schottky supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40V - Maximum blocking voltage; suitable for 24V nominal bus systems with transient margin. |
| RDS(on) | 9.0mΩ max @ VGS = 10V - Enables <1.6W conduction loss at 42A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID | 42A @ TC = 25°C - Continuous current rating under ideal heatsinking; derates to ~25A at 100°C case. |
| EAS | 77mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy; allows safe operation during inductive turn-off transients. |
| Qg | 30–45nC - Total gate charge determines required driver peak current and switching loss trade-off. |
| tr/tf | 74ns/38ns - Fast edge rates support >500kHz switching in optimized layouts with low EMI risk. |
| θJC | 1.66°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct mounting to heatsinks for high-power density designs. |
Pinout & Package
IRFU3504ZPBF is housed in a surface-mount DPAK (TO-252AA) package with three terminals: Drain (tab), Source (pins 1 & 2), and Gate (pin 3). The exposed drain pad provides low-inductance, high-current path and primary thermal conduction path to PCB copper or heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main high-current output terminal | Electrically and thermally connected to PCB copper pour; requires solder mask opening and thermal vias for optimal cooling. |
| Source (Pin 1 & Pin 2) | Return path for load current and gate reference | Parallel pins reduce source inductance (LS = 7.5nH); critical for minimizing gate oscillation and shoot-through risk. |
| Gate (Pin 3) | Control input for channel conduction | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <45nC charge; sensitive to ESD; must be driven with low-impedance path to avoid ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 9.0mΩ max at 10V drive enables high-efficiency 42A switching with minimal I²R loss. |
| 175°C junction rating | Allows sustained operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., engine compartments, enclosed power modules). |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Validated for repeated unclamped inductive switching up to Tjmax, eliminating need for external clamping in many motor control designs. |
| Fast body diode recovery | Qrr = 9.2–14nC and trr = 18–27ns support synchronous rectification without cross-conduction penalties. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant Pb-free plating and packaging meet global environmental compliance requirements. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP40NF10 | 100V VDSS, 40A ID, 30mΩ RDS(on), TO-220 package | Higher voltage rating but higher RDS(on) and larger footprint; unsuitable for space-constrained 24V designs. | Choose only if system requires >40V blocking or through-hole assembly. |
| IPB011N04LG | 40V VDSS, 120A ID, 1.1mΩ RDS(on), TSDSON-8 package | Lower RDS(on) and higher current, but requires multi-layer PCB with extensive thermal vias; not drop-in compatible. | Prefer for new high-density designs where thermal budget permits advanced packaging. |
Compared with STP40NF10 and IPB011N04LG, IRFU3504ZPBF delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), proven DPAK thermal performance, and mature supply chain-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, medium-power industrial and automotive applications where board space and thermal management are constrained but not extreme.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFU3504ZPBF at 100°C case temperature?
At TC = 100°C, the continuous drain current is 25A with VGS = 10V, as defined by package thermal limits-not silicon current capability. This derating reflects the 1.66°C/W junction-to-case resistance and maximum 175°C junction temperature. Operation above this current requires active cooling or reduced ambient temperature.
Does IRFU3504ZPBF have a specified avalanche SOA curve?
Yes-Figures 12a–12c and 15–16 in the official datasheet define the unclamped inductive avalanche safe operating area, including single-pulse energy (EAS = 77mJ), repetitive avalanche energy (EAR = 54mJ at 1% duty), and allowable avalanche current versus pulse width. These curves assume proper PCB thermal design and junction temperature monitoring.
Can IRFU3504ZPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (see Fig.10) enables inherent current sharing when paralleled. Successful implementation requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical PCB layout, and shared thermal mass. Derate total current by 15% to account for parameter spread and thermal coupling effects.
Is the body diode in IRFU3504ZPBF suitable for synchronous rectification?
Yes-the body diode has characterized reverse recovery parameters: Qrr = 9.2–14nC and trr = 18–27ns at IF = 42A, making it viable for synchronous rectification in buck converters up to ~500kHz. However, external Schottky diodes may still be preferred in ultra-high-frequency or zero-voltage-switching topologies.
