Product details
Overview
IRFZ34NLPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 55 V, 28 A, N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO-262 (D-Pak) package with 0.04 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, designed for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and motor drive half-bridge switches where low conduction loss and fast switching are critical.
For engineers reviewing the IRFZ34NLPBF datasheet, IRFZ34NLPBF pinout, IRFZ34NLPBF application, or IRFZ34NLPBF equivalent, this device supports 16 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, features 100% avalanche-rated ruggedness (EAS = 120 mJ), and delivers gate charge QG = 35 nC - key parameters for PWM-controlled power stages in industrial motor controllers and SMPS designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology optimized for low RDS(on) and controlled body diode reverse recovery (trr = 120 ns, Qrr = 45 nC at IF = 26 A). Its gate threshold voltage VGS(th) is specified between 2.0 V and 4.0 V, enabling direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V logic with adequate margin.
The device operates with maximum junction temperature of 175 °C and exhibits normalized RDS(on) drift ≤ 2.0× from 25 °C to 175 °C. Thermal resistance RthJC is 1.0 °C/W, supporting high-power density layouts when mounted on copper-clad PCBs with thermal vias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 24 V/48 V bus applications without derating |
| RDS(on) @ VGS=10 V | 0.04 Ω - Enables ≤1.2 W conduction loss at 17.3 A RMS in 50% duty-cycle switch |
| ID (continuous) | 28 A @ TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current output stages without parallel devices |
| QG | 35 nC - Determines gate driver current requirement (~3.5 mA avg for 100 kHz, 10 V swing) |
| EAS | 120 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy in relay/motor snubberless designs |
| tr/tf | 35 ns / 50 ns - Limits switching transition time to reduce overlap loss in synchronous rectifiers |
| Body diode VSD | 1.3 V @ IS = 26 A - Low forward drop reduces freewheeling loss in H-bridge motor control |
Pinout & Package
IRFZ34NLPBF uses a 3-pin TO-262 (D-Pak) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal conduction. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gate (G) | Control electrode | Receives 10 V gate drive to fully enhance channel; requires <100 Ω series resistance to damp ringing |
| Drain (D) | High-side current sink | Connected to PCB copper pour for heat dissipation; electrically tied to metal tab |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive | Serves as return path for load current and gate drive loop; must minimize inductance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees robustness against inductive kickback without external clamping in motor drives |
| Low gate charge (QG = 35 nC) | Reduces driver power consumption and enables use of low-cost SOT-23 gate drivers |
| Fast body diode (trr = 120 ns) | Minimizes cross-conduction risk and EMI during hard-commutation in half-bridge topologies |
| Rugged SOA (Safe Operating Area) | Supports 10 ms pulse width at 28 A and 44 V without second breakdown - ideal for surge-limited loads |
| Lead-free and RoHS compliant | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) for standard reflow assembly |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP30NF20 | RDS(on) = 0.036 Ω @ 10 V, but higher QG = 45 nC and lower VDSS = 200 V | Better for 100–200 V systems; less suitable for 55 V optimized designs due to over-spec'd voltage rating | Prefer when higher voltage margin is required and gate drive capability allows extra 10 nC charge |
| IRFZ44NLPBF | RDS(on) = 0.028 Ω @ 10 V, same package, but higher Ciss = 1400 pF vs. 1100 pF | Delivers lower conduction loss but increases gate drive power and EMI risk above 150 kHz | Choose only if RDS(on) reduction justifies added gate drive burden and layout complexity |
Compared with STP30NF20 and IRFZ44NLPBF, IRFZ34NLPBF offers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate QG, and tight VDSS rating for 48 V industrial power stages - minimizing both conduction loss and gate drive overhead without over-engineering voltage headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for IRFZ34NLPBF?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175 °C, validated per JEDEC JESD22-A104. Operation up to this limit is permitted under pulsed conditions with appropriate thermal design; continuous operation should maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C to ensure long-term reliability and avoid parametric shift in RDS(on).
Can IRFZ34NLPBF be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
No - its VGS(th) min is 2.0 V, but full enhancement requires ≥10 V for RDS(on) specification. At 3.3 V, RDS(on) exceeds 0.25 Ω, causing excessive conduction loss. A dedicated gate driver (e.g., TC4427) or level-shifting circuit is mandatory for reliable switching.
Does IRFZ34NLPBF include integrated gate protection?
No - it lacks built-in gate Zener or series resistance. External gate protection (e.g., 12 V Zener clamp between G and S, 10–22 Ω series resistor) is required to prevent ESD damage and overvoltage during hot-plug or layout-induced transients, especially in high-noise industrial environments.
How does the body diode performance compare to discrete Schottky alternatives?
The intrinsic body diode has VSD = 1.3 V and trr = 120 ns - higher forward drop and slower recovery than 45 V Schottky diodes (e.g., SS34: 0.5 V, no recovery). For high-frequency freewheeling, a parallel Schottky is recommended; however, the body diode suffices for <50 kHz motor commutation where reverse recovery energy is manageable.
