Product details
Overview
IRFU9024N from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a P-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-252AA (D-Pak) package, rated for -55 V V(BR)DSS, 0.175 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, -11 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and fully avalanche-rated to 62 mJ. It serves as a high-efficiency, surface-mount or through-hole power switch in DC-DC converters and load switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the IRFU9024N datasheet, IRFU9024N pinout, IRFU9024N application, or IRFU9024N equivalent, key selection criteria include its P-channel polarity, low on-resistance at standard gate drive, fast switching (tr = 55 ns, tf = 37 ns), avalanche ruggedness, and thermal resistance of 3.3 °C/W junction-to-case - critical for thermally constrained industrial and automotive power stages.
Technical Context
The IRFU9024N employs fifth-generation HEXFET process technology to achieve ultra-low RDS(on) per die area while maintaining robust safe operating area (SOA) and unclamped inductive switching capability. Its gate threshold voltage range (-2.0 V to -4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard -10 V logic-level drive and supports partial gate control in linear-mode applications.
Designed for bidirectional blocking and synchronous rectification in buck converters, it integrates a fast body diode with trr = 47–71 ns and Qrr = 84–130 nC. The device's 19 nC total gate charge and 10 nC Miller charge enable efficient high-frequency switching up to several hundred kHz without excessive driver loss.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | -55 V: Maximum reverse-blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines upper limit for DC bus or input voltage rating. |
| RDS(on) | 0.175 Ω @ VGS = -10 V, ID = -6.6 A: Low conduction loss enabling <1.2 W dissipation at 7 A DC load current. |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | -11 A: Continuous drain current rating under heatsinked conditions; usable up to ~8 A at 100°C case temperature. |
| EAS | 62 mJ: Single-pulse avalanche energy capacity; allows reliable operation during inductive turn-off transients without failure. |
| Qg / Qgd | 19 nC / 10 nC: Gate charge profile dictates driver strength requirement; Miller charge dominates switching transition timing. |
| tr / tf | 55 ns / 37 ns @ VDD = -28 V, ID = -7.2 A: Fast edge rates support >500 kHz PWM operation with minimal switching loss. |
| RθJC | 3.3 °C/W: Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct heatsinking; permits ~11 W power dissipation with 36°C rise above case. |
Pinout & Package
IRFU9024N uses the TO-252AA (D-Pak) package: surface-mount variant with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. Leads are straight (through-hole compatible), with lead 1 = Gate, lead 2 = Drain, lead 3 = Source, lead 4 = Drain (dual-drain configuration).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives negative gate drive relative to source; threshold range (-2.0 to -4.0 V) requires stable -10 V bias for full enhancement. |
| 2 & 4 (Drain) | High-side current return path | Dual-drain configuration lowers inductance and improves current sharing; connected internally to exposed copper pad for thermal conduction. |
| 3 (Source) | Reference node for gate drive | Serves as common return for load current and gate control loop; must be routed with low inductance to minimize ringing during switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 0.175 Ω enables <1.3 W conduction loss at 7.5 A, reducing thermal footprint in compact power modules. |
| Fully avalanche-rated | 62 mJ single-pulse energy rating eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching applications. |
| Fast body diode | trr = 47–71 ns and Qrr = 84–130 nC support synchronous rectification in high-frequency buck converters. |
| TO-252AA dual-drain layout | Leads 2 and 4 both connect to drain, lowering package inductance and improving EMI performance in high-dI/dt switching. |

Use Scenario: High-side switch in half-bridge motor driver for 24–48 V DC brushed motors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: P-channel high-side switch controlling motor voltage rail; operates in hard-switched PWM mode at 20–100 kHz.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9Z24NPBF | V(BR)DSS = -55 V, RDS(on) = 0.28 Ω @ -10 V, TO-220 package | Larger footprint and higher thermal resistance (RθJC = 6.2 °C/W); suited for lower-current, heatsink-mounted designs | Select when board space allows TO-220 and thermal design includes bolt-down heatsink. |
| SI2305DS-T1-E3 | V(BR)DSS = -30 V, RDS(on) = 0.055 Ω @ -4.5 V, SOT-23 package | Lower voltage rating and smaller current handling (-4.1 A); optimized for logic-level drive in space-constrained portable devices | Select for 3.3 V/5 V control interfaces and sub-3 A loads where ultra-small footprint is mandatory. |
Compared with IRFU9024N, IRF9Z24NPBF trades lower cost and higher ruggedness for larger size and reduced efficiency at high current, while SI2305DS-T1-E3 offers superior gate-drive compatibility at the expense of voltage margin and thermal headroom.

FAQ
Is IRFU9024N suitable for logic-level gate drive?
No - IRFU9024N has a gate threshold voltage range of -2.0 V to -4.0 V and is specified for full enhancement at VGS = -10 V. While it may partially turn on at -5 V, RDS(on) rises significantly above 0.5 Ω, increasing conduction loss. For true logic-level operation, consider devices like SI2305DS-T1-E3 with VGS(th) down to -1.0 V.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for thermal relief?
When mounted on a 1" square FR-4 PCB, RθJA is 50 °C/W. To improve thermal performance, use ≥250 mm² (0.4 in²) of 2-oz copper connected directly to the drain pad via multiple thermal vias. This can reduce RθJA to ~35 °C/W, supporting ~12 W continuous dissipation at 25°C ambient.
Can IRFU9024N replace IRF9Z24N in existing designs?
Yes - IRFU9024N shares identical electrical specifications with IRF9Z24N but uses the TO-252AA package instead of TO-220. Pinout differs (TO-252AA: G-D-S-D; TO-220: G-D-S), so PCB layout and thermal interface must be revised. Electrical behavior, SOA, and avalanche rating are functionally equivalent.
Does IRFU9024N require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes - a series gate resistor (typically 10–47 Ω) is recommended to dampen gate-source oscillation caused by trace inductance and device capacitance. Without it, ringing exceeding ±20 V can occur during fast switching, risking gate oxide damage or false turn-on due to dv/dt coupling.
