Product details
Overview
IRFZ46NSTRRPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode D2PAK surface-mount power MOSFET with 55 V VBRDSS, 0.0165 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and 28 A, 53 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and fully avalanche-rated operation up to 175°C junction temperature. It serves as a high-efficiency main switch in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and UPS inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRFZ46NSTRRPBF datasheet, IRFZ46NSTRRPBF pinout, IRFZ46NSTRRPBF application, or IRFZ46NSTRRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.4 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 72 nC total gate charge, 583 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, fast 76 ns rise time, and D2PAK package compatibility with high-current PCB layouts requiring low-inductance source connections.
Technical Context
This HEXFET® device uses advanced silicon processing to achieve ultra-low on-resistance per die area while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching capability. Its body diode exhibits 67–101 ns reverse recovery time and 208–312 nC Qrr, enabling moderate-frequency hard-switched topologies without external snubbing in many cases.
The gate threshold voltage range (2.0–4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V logic-level drivers, and its transconductance of 19 S supports stable current regulation. The device's safe operating area (SOA) is defined up to 100 µs pulse width at 25°C ambient, constrained by RDS(on)-limited conduction and thermal impedance limits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBRDSS | 55 V - Withstands up to 55 V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche onset, suitable for 48 V bus systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) | 0.0165 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 28 A - Delivers ≤0.46 W conduction loss at 35 A, enabling high-efficiency power stages. |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25°C) | 53 A - Supports high-current output stages without forced air cooling when mounted on ≥1"² FR-4 PCB. |
| EAS | 583 mJ - Absorbs unclamped inductive energy during turn-off without failure, critical for relay/motor driver reliability. |
| Qg | 72 nC - Requires ~0.72 µC gate drive per 10 V swing; dictates gate driver peak current and switching loss trade-offs. |
| tr/tf | 76 ns / 57 ns - Enables switching frequencies up to ~200 kHz in hard-switched converters with controlled EMI. |
| RθJC | 1.4 °C/W - Enables direct heatsink mounting for thermal management; junction rises only 1.4°C per watt dissipated into case. |
Pinout & Package
The IRFZ46NSTRRPBF is housed in a D2PAK (TO-262) surface-mount package with gull-wing leads, optimized for high-power density and low thermal resistance. Its three terminals are electrically isolated from the exposed drain pad, which serves as the primary heat path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current-carrying terminal, connected to internal die backside | Exposed copper pad on underside - must be soldered to large copper pour or heatsink for thermal performance. |
| Source (S) | Return path for load current; reference node for gate drive | Low-inductance connection required; layout must minimize LS to preserve switching speed and reduce ringing. |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input; requires low-impedance gate driver (≤12 Ω series resistance typical) to control dv/dt and EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully avalanche-rated | Withstands 583 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy without degradation - eliminates need for external clamping in inductive load switching. |
| Advanced HEXFET® process | 0.0165 Ω RDS(on) at 10 V drive enables >97% efficiency in 48 V/30 A buck converters at full load. |
| 175°C maximum junction temperature | Supports operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments (e.g., automotive under-hood, industrial motor controls). |
| Fast body diode | 67 ns typical trr and 208 nC Qrr allow use in synchronous rectification or freewheeling roles without excessive reverse recovery loss. |
| D2PAK thermal performance | 1.4 °C/W RθJC enables 107 W power dissipation at TC = 25°C - highest power density among standard surface-mount packages. |
Applications
| DC-DC Power Conversion | Brushed DC Motor Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Step-down (buck) converter in telecom power supply delivering 12 V/30 A from 48 V input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main high-side switching element operating at 100–200 kHz with synchronous rectification.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch in half-bridge configuration, commutated at ≤5 kHz with PWM duty control. Use Value: Avalanche rating absorbs inductive kickback during rapid direction reversal; 175°C rating ensures reliability in enclosed outdoor housings. |
| Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) | Industrial AC/DC Front-End |
Use Scenario: Inverter stage converting 350 V DC bus to 230 V AC output in line-interactive UPS. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Switching element in full-bridge topology operating at 16–20 kHz with sinusoidal PWM. Use Value: 55 V rating provides margin above 48 V battery stack; SOA supports short-circuit withstand during grid fault conditions. | Use Scenario: PFC boost switch in 1 kW industrial AC/DC power supply with active front-end.

Use Value: Fast tr/tf reduces switching loss; low Qgd/Qgs ratio improves Miller immunity during high dv/dt transitions. |
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) = 0.014 Ω (lower), VBRDSS = 60 V, Qg = 85 nC (higher), TO-220 package | Requires through-hole mounting and larger board area; better voltage margin but higher gate drive loss | Prefer when 60 V rating and lower on-resistance outweigh surface-mount constraints and thermal interface complexity. |
| IRF1404ZPBF | RDS(on) = 0.020 Ω (higher), VBRDSS = 40 V, Qg = 131 nC (much higher), D2PAK package | Lower voltage rating restricts use to ≤32 V systems; slower switching increases loss above 50 kHz | Acceptable only in cost-sensitive, low-frequency (<30 kHz), low-voltage applications where gate drive capability is abundant. |
Compared with STP55NF06L and IRF1404ZPBF, the IRFZ46NSTRRPBF offers optimal balance of voltage rating, on-resistance, gate charge, and surface-mount thermal performance for 48 V industrial power stages - making it preferred where board space, thermal management, and switching frequency co-constrain design.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The IRFZ46NSTRRPBF supports 37 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C with VGS = 10 V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the D2PAK package and silicon, not gate drive capability. Operation above this current requires active cooling or reduced duty cycle to maintain TJ ≤ 175°C.
Is the IRFZ46NSTRRPBF lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, the "PBF" suffix confirms IRFZ46NSTRRPBF is lead-free and compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte tin plating on leads and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3), requiring bake prior to reflow if exposed to ambient beyond floor life.
Can this MOSFET replace the IRFZ46NS in existing designs?
Yes - IRFZ46NSTRRPBF is a direct replacement for IRFZ46NS, sharing identical electrical specifications, D2PAK package outline, pinout, and thermal characteristics. The "TRR" denotes tape-and-reel packaging, and "PBF" confirms lead-free finish; no layout or drive circuit changes are needed for drop-in substitution.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for 100 kHz switching?
A 10–12 Ω gate resistor is recommended for 100 kHz operation to balance switching speed and gate driver stress. At 10 V gate drive, 72 nC Qg, and 12 Ω, the 10–90% gate voltage rise time is ~0.8 µs - sufficient to limit dv/dt-induced shoot-through while keeping switching losses below 1.2 W at 30 A load current.
