Product details
Overview
IRFZ44ESTRR from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 60V, 48A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in D²PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package, featuring 23mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, fully avalanche-rated, and optimized for high-current DC-DC conversion and motor drive switching. It delivers 110W power dissipation at TC = 25°C with 1.4°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance.
For engineers reviewing the IRFZ44ESTRR datasheet, IRFZ44ESTRR pinout, IRFZ44ESTRR application, or IRFZ44ESTRR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60V VBR(DSS), 23mΩ on-resistance, 60nC total gate charge, fast 60ns rise time, and rugged 220mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - all critical for hard-switched industrial power stages.
Technical Context
This HEXFET device uses advanced silicon processing to minimize conduction loss while maintaining robust switching behavior. Its low 23mΩ RDS(on) enables high-efficiency operation at 48A continuous drain current (TC = 25°C), and its 192A pulsed drain rating supports short-duration overload conditions without failure.
The MOSFET integrates a fast-recovery body diode with 69ns typical reverse recovery time and 177nC reverse recovery charge, enabling reliable synchronous rectification and freewheeling in buck converters and H-bridge motor drivers. Its 0.063V/°C breakdown voltage temperature coefficient ensures stable overvoltage margin across –55°C to +175°C junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR(DSS) | 60V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; sets upper limit for DC bus or flyback voltage in switch-mode topologies. |
| RDS(on) | 0.023Ω @ VGS = 10V - Directly determines I²R conduction loss at full load; enables <1.5W loss at 48A. |
| ID (continuous) | 48A @ TC = 25°C - Sustained current capability when mounted on heatsink; derates to 34A at 100°C case temperature. |
| EAS | 220mJ - Energy the device safely absorbs during single inductive turn-off events; critical for snubberless flyback or relay driving. |
| Qg | 60nC - Total gate charge required to fully switch; defines driver strength requirement and switching loss trade-off. |
| tr/tf | 60ns/70ns - Rise/fall times under standard test conditions; enables >100kHz PWM operation with controlled EMI. |
| Ciss | 1360pF - Input capacitance at VDS = 0V; impacts gate drive loop stability and Miller effect during high-dV/dt transitions. |
Pinout & Package
D²PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. Three terminals: Drain (tab and pins 2–3), Source (pin 1), Gate (pin 4).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab + Pins 2 & 3) | Main current path output terminal | Electrically and thermally connected to PCB copper pour; carries full load current and dissipates heat directly to heatsink. |
| Source (Pin 1) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Serves as return path for load current and reference for gate-source voltage; must be low-inductance layout to avoid shoot-through. |
| Gate (Pin 4) | Control input for channel conduction | High-impedance MOS control node requiring clean, low-impedance drive; sensitive to ringing due to Qgd = 23nC Miller charge. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully avalanche-rated | 220mJ single-pulse and 11mJ repetitive avalanche energy - eliminates need for external clamping in inductive load switching. |
| Low RDS(on) | 23mΩ at 10V gate drive - reduces conduction loss by >35% vs. legacy 60V MOSFETs, improving thermal headroom in compact designs. |
| Fast body diode | 69ns trr, 177nC Qrr - minimizes reverse recovery loss and voltage overshoot during commutation in half-bridge configurations. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant Pb-free plating and packaging - meets global environmental compliance requirements without derating. |
| Thermal performance | 1.4°C/W RθJC - enables direct mounting to heatsink with minimal thermal interface resistance for high-power density layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 60V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP60NF06 | RDS(on) = 0.018Ω (lower), Qg = 72nC (higher), TO-220 package | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; better conduction but slower switching | Prefer when board space allows and conduction loss dominates over switching loss. |
| IRLZ44N | RDS(on) = 0.028Ω (higher), logic-level gate (VGS(th) = 1–2V), same D²PAK | Compatible with 3.3V/5V microcontroller drive; lower avalanche rating (EAS = 120mJ) | Choose when gate drive voltage is limited and avalanche stress is low. |
Compared with STP60NF06 and IRLZ44N, IRFZ44ESTRR offers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, surface-mount compatibility, and industry-leading avalanche ruggedness - making it preferred for space-constrained, high-reliability industrial switching where both efficiency and fault tolerance matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for IRFZ44ESTRR?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +175°C, and the device is characterized for continuous operation across –55°C to +175°C. Derating begins above 25°C case temperature at 0.71W/°C, and thermal design must maintain TJ ≤ 175°C under worst-case load and ambient conditions using RθJC = 1.4°C/W.
Does IRFZ44ESTRR require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes - a gate resistor is required to control dV/dt and suppress oscillation. For 10–15V gate drive and typical 1–2A peak driver capability, a 10–22Ω series resistor is recommended. Lower values improve switching speed but increase EMI risk; higher values reduce ringing but raise switching losses due to extended transition times.
Can IRFZ44ESTRR be used in parallel with identical units?
Yes - the positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (0.063V/°C) provides inherent current sharing stability. Parallel operation requires matched gate drive paths, symmetrical PCB layout, and shared source inductance minimization. Thermal coupling between devices should also be balanced to prevent thermal runaway.
Is IRFZ44ESTRR suitable for linear (analog) operation, such as in adjustable current sources?
No - it is optimized for switching operation only. Linear mode subjects the device to high simultaneous VDS and ID, causing localized hot-spot formation and potential thermal runaway. Its Safe Operating Area (SOA) is not characterized for DC linear use, and SOA curves in the datasheet apply only to pulsed conditions up to 10ms.
