Product details
Overview
IRFZ14PBF-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 60 V, 10 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.20 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 11 nC total gate charge, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature - optimized for medium-power switching in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRFZ14PBF-BE3 datasheet, IRFZ14PBF-BE3 pinout, IRFZ14PBF-BE3 application, or IRFZ14PBF-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its avalanche-rated ruggedness (47 mJ EAS), fast switching (10 ns td(on), 19 ns tf), low gate drive requirements, and RoHS-compliant/halogen-free construction per Vishay S21-1045-Rev. D.
Technical Context
The IRFZ14PBF-BE3 employs third-generation planar V-groove silicon technology to deliver low conduction loss and robust unclamped inductive switching capability. Its dynamic dV/dt rating of 4.5 V/ns and body diode reverse recovery time of 70–140 ns support reliable operation in hard-switched topologies with moderate voltage transients.
Designed for single-ended configurations, it integrates a co-packaged intrinsic body diode rated for 10 A continuous source-drain current and 40 A pulsed current, with VSD = 1.6 V at TJ = 25 °C and IS = 10 A - enabling synchronous rectification and freewheeling without external diodes in many applications.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP60NF06 | 60 V, 60 A, RDS(on) = 0.018 Ω, Qg = 85 nC, TO-220FP | Higher current rating but larger gate charge; requires stronger driver | Preferred where higher continuous current (>15 A) and lower RDS(on) are critical; not drop-in due to layout and drive changes |
| IRFZ24NPBF | 55 V, 17 A, RDS(on) = 0.075 Ω, Qg = 21 nC, TO-220AB | Lower VDS, higher ID, higher Qg; same package footprint | Drop-in replacement only if system operates ≤45 V; higher gate charge increases driver loss |
Compared with STP60NF06 and IRFZ24NPBF, the IRFZ14PBF-BE3 offers optimal balance of gate drive simplicity (11 nC), thermal robustness (175 °C), and cost-effective 10 A switching - making it ideal for space-constrained, medium-power designs where driver strength and board area are limiting factors.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for IRFZ14PBF-BE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFZ14PBF-BE3 has a maximum continuous drain current (ID) of 7.2 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-220AB package and must be verified against actual board-level thermal design using RthJC = 3.5 °C/W and ambient conditions. The IRFZ14PBF-BE3 remains fully functional within this limit when properly heatsinked.
Does IRFZ14PBF-BE3 support logic-level gate drive?
No - the IRFZ14PBF-BE3 is not a logic-level MOSFET. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 2.0 V to 4.0 V, and full enhancement requires VGS ≥ 10 V to achieve RDS(on) = 0.20 Ω. It is incompatible with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs without level-shifting or gate driver amplification. The IRFZ14PBF-BE3 is designed for standard 10 V gate drive systems.
What is the body diode reverse recovery time (trr) of IRFZ14PBF-BE3, and how does it affect switching performance?
The IRFZ14PBF-BE3 body diode exhibits trr = 70–140 ns at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 10 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. This relatively fast recovery minimizes cross-conduction losses in half-bridge or synchronous rectifier configurations. When used in freewheeling paths, the IRFZ14PBF-BE3's trr supports efficient operation up to ~200 kHz before reverse recovery losses dominate.
Can IRFZ14PBF-BE3 be paralleled with identical units for higher current handling?
Yes - the IRFZ14PBF-BE3 is explicitly characterized for ease of paralleling due to its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (confirmed by normalized on-resistance vs. temperature curve). Matching gate resistors and symmetrical PCB layout are required to ensure current sharing. The IRFZ14PBF-BE3's low Qgd/Qgs ratio (5.8/3.1) further enhances dynamic current balance during switching transitions.
Is IRFZ14PBF-BE3 suitable for avalanche energy handling in inductive load switching?
Yes - the IRFZ14PBF-BE3 is rated for 47 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) under defined test conditions (VDD = 25 V, IAS = 8 A). This capability allows safe operation in unclamped inductive switching events such as relay coil de-energization or flyback transformer reset. The IRFZ14PBF-BE3's ruggedized die design ensures repeatable avalanche performance without degradation when operated within datasheet limits.
