Product details
Overview
IRFZ44ZSTRRPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, designed for high-efficiency switching in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and power supplies. It delivers 51 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, 13.9 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 55 V VDSS, with 175°C maximum junction temperature and rated repetitive avalanche capability.
For engineers reviewing the IRFZ44ZSTRRPBF datasheet, IRFZ44ZSTRRPBF pinout, IRFZ44ZSTRRPBF application, or IRFZ44ZSTRRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low conduction loss, fast switching (tr = 68 ns, tf = 41 ns), robust body diode (Qrr = 17–26 nC, trr = 23–35 ns), and thermal performance (RθJC = 1.87°C/W) in high-current, thermally constrained designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced planar silicon processing to minimize specific on-resistance while maintaining ruggedness against dynamic stress. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 29–43 nC, Qgd = 12–18 nC) supports efficient hard-switching up to ~100 kHz in synchronous buck topologies, with Coss(eff) = 300 pF enabling predictable turn-off energy calculation.
The device integrates a co-packaged, optimized body diode with low VSD (≤1.2 V) and controlled reverse recovery, allowing reliable operation in freewheeling and bidirectional current paths without external Schottky supplementation. Repetitive avalanche is validated per Fig. 15–16 under defined IAS, tav, and duty cycle constraints.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; sets upper limit for bus voltage in 48 V systems. |
| RDS(on) | 13.9 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Conduction loss of 36.5 W at 51 A (I²R), dictating heatsink sizing in continuous conduction mode. |
| ID (cont) | 51 A @ TC = 25°C - Sustained current capability when case is actively cooled; derates to 36 A at 100°C case temperature. |
| Qg | 43 nC max - Total gate charge determining driver strength requirement; 1.5 A peak drive needed for 30 ns rise time. |
| EAS | 86 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; enables unclamped inductive switching survival in relay/snubberless designs. |
| tr/tf | 68 ns / 41 ns - Rise/fall times measured at VDD = 25 V, ID = 31 A; defines minimum practical switching period and EMI envelope. |
| TJ max | 175°C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in sealed enclosures or high ambient industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
IRFZ44ZSTRRPBF uses the surface-mount D2PAK (TO-263) 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 to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main high-side current path and thermal interface | Electrically connected to PCB copper pour; requires solder mask opening and ≥1 in² 2-oz Cu for RθJA ≈ 40°C/W. |
| Source (Pins 1 & 2) | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Low-inductance dual-pin layout minimizes source inductance (LS = 7.5 nH), critical for dV/dt immunity and shoot-through prevention. |
| Gate (Pin 3) | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring <100 nC total charge; sensitive to ESD-must be protected during handling and layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 13.9 mΩ enables <1 W conduction loss at 20 A, reducing thermal load in compact 12–48 V power stages. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Validated up to IAS = 31 A and tav ≤ 1 ms (Fig. 15), permitting robust operation in inductive load switching without snubbers. |
| 175°C junction rating | Supports full current derating across -55°C to +125°C ambient, eliminating need for thermal throttling in automotive under-hood modules. |
| Fast body diode | trr = 23–35 ns and Qrr = 17–26 nC reduce switching loss and voltage overshoot during synchronous rectification transitions. |
| Dynamic dv/dt rating | Rated for >4.5 V/ns (per design context), ensuring noise immunity in high-speed gate drivers and noisy industrial bus environments. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP55NF06L | RDS(on) = 14 mΩ @ 10 V, VDSS = 60 V, TO-220 package, no avalanche rating specified | Lacks documented repetitive avalanche capability; higher RθJA (62°C/W) limits power density in SMT layouts | Preferable only where through-hole mounting and marginally higher VDSS outweigh SMT assembly and avalanche robustness needs. |
| IXTP50N055T | RDS(on) = 5.5 mΩ @ 10 V, VDSS = 55 V, TO-220 package, 175°C rating, but Qg = 92 nC | Lower conduction loss but doubles gate drive requirement; no D2PAK footprint compatibility | Select when ultra-low RDS(on) justifies larger gate driver and board space; not drop-in for IRFZ44ZSTRRPBF layout. |
Compared with STP55NF06L and IXTP50N055T, IRFZ44ZSTRRPBF uniquely balances low RDS(on), surface-mount D2PAK packaging, verified repetitive avalanche, and moderate gate charge-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability 48 V industrial switching where thermal and transient robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is IRFZ44ZSTRRPBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, IRFZ44ZSTRRPBF is fully RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "PbF" suffix and confirmed in Infineon's official documentation. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) and is qualified for standard reflow profiles including peak temperatures up to 260°C.
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage?
The absolute maximum gate-to-source voltage is ±20 V, but the device is characterized and optimized for operation at VGS = 10 V. Driving above 15 V yields diminishing RDS(on) improvement while increasing gate oxide stress risk; 10 V is the standard design point for reliability and loss trade-off.
Can IRFZ44ZSTRRPBF replace IRFZ44N in existing designs?
No-IRFZ44ZSTRRPBF is not a direct replacement for IRFZ44N. While both are 55 V N-channel MOSFETs, IRFZ44ZSTRRPBF has lower RDS(on) (13.9 mΩ vs. 28 mΩ), higher Qg (43 nC vs. 67 nC), and different SOA curves. Layout and gate drive must be re-validated, especially for avalanche and switching loss behavior.
Does this MOSFET require a gate resistor, and what value is typical?
Yes-a gate resistor is required to control dV/dt, suppress ringing, and limit peak gate current. For IRFZ44ZSTRRPBF, a 10–22 Ω resistor is typical with 12 V gate drivers; values below 5 Ω risk excessive gate current (>2 A), while >47 Ω degrades switching speed and increases switching loss unnecessarily.
