Product details
Overview
IRL3302PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 20 V, 116 A, 4.5 mΩ N-channel logic-level power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-current DC-DC conversion and synchronous rectification in server VRMs and POL converters. It features low RDS(on) at 4.5 V VGS, 100% avalanche-rated operation, and enhanced thermal performance with isolated drain tab.
For engineers reviewing the IRL3302PBF datasheet, IRL3302PBF pinout, IRL3302PBF application, or IRL3302PBF equivalent, this device is selected for high-efficiency, high-density power stages where gate drive compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V controllers, low conduction loss at 39 A continuous drain current, and robust single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 230 mJ) are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This HEXFET power MOSFET uses planar stripe cell structure and optimized die thickness to achieve ultra-low on-resistance while maintaining fast switching speed (trise = 25 ns, tfall = 20 ns at RG = 2.5 Ω). Its logic-level gate threshold (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V) enables direct drive from microcontrollers and PWM controllers without level-shifting.
The device integrates a monolithic body diode with soft reverse recovery (Qrr = 110 nC), minimizing voltage overshoot during commutation in synchronous buck topologies. Thermal resistance RθJC = 0.75 °C/W supports high-power operation with standard heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V input rails and transient margin in point-of-load converters |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 4.5 mΩ - Enables ≤1.7 W conduction loss at 39 A DC, reducing thermal load in compact VRMs |
| ID (continuous) | 116 A - Rated for high-current output stages using PCB copper as heatsink or with bolt-down heatsinks |
| Qg | 62 nC - Gate charge optimized for efficient drive with standard gate drivers (e.g., IR2110, UCC27531) |
| EAS | 230 mJ - Guaranteed single-pulse avalanche energy supports reliable operation under inductive switching stress |
| Ciss | 2700 pF - Input capacitance determines gate drive power and influences switching transition times |
| RθJC | 0.75 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables >100 W dissipation with 75 °C case temperature rise |
Pinout & Package
IRL3302PBF is housed in a TO-220AB package with electrically isolated drain tab (pin 2 and pin 4), enabling direct mounting to heatsinks without insulating hardware. The lead frame is lead-free per RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives gate drive signal; requires <2.0 V threshold to turn on fully; sensitive to ESD |
| 2 (Drain) | High-side power switch node | Connected to input rail or inductor node; electrically tied to metal tab for thermal path |
| 3 (Source) | Power return / reference node | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical |
| 4 (Drain) | Secondary drain connection | Parallel drain path to pin 2; reduces package inductance and improves current sharing in high-frequency operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Turns on fully at 4.5 V VGS, eliminating need for gate boosters in 3.3 V/5 V control systems |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 4.5 mΩ at 4.5 V ensures <1.8 W conduction loss at 39 A, reducing heatsink size by ≥30% vs. 6 mΩ alternatives |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated for 230 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, ensuring reliability in hard-switched topologies |
| Enhanced body diode | Soft-recovery Qrr = 110 nC minimizes voltage spikes and EMI during freewheeling in synchronous rectifiers |
| Isolated drain tab | TO-220AB metal tab is internally connected only to drain pins (2 & 4), allowing direct heatsink mounting without insulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL3803PBF | RDS(on) = 6.0 mΩ @ 4.5 V; lower ID rating (100 A); same TO-220AB package | Higher conduction loss limits use to ≤80 A continuous; less suitable for 116 A VRM phases | Select when board space allows larger thermal margin or cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency gain |
| STL220N4LF6AG | 25 V rating; RDS(on) = 3.8 mΩ @ 4.5 V; DFN 8x8 package (no through-hole option) | Surface-mount only; requires reflow-compatible layout; superior RDS(on) but no isolated drain tab | Choose for new designs prioritizing footprint reduction and higher efficiency, provided heatsinking is redesigned |
Compared with IRL3302PBF, IRL3803PBF trades 33% higher RDS(on) for broader legacy availability, while STL220N4LF6AG delivers lower on-resistance in a thermally superior DFN package-but forfeits mechanical mounting flexibility and through-hole compatibility essential for serviceable industrial modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRL3302PBF at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 60 A at TC = 100 °C, derated from 116 A at TC = 25 °C per the SOA curve. This limit accounts for thermal equilibrium with standard TO-220 heatsinking and ensures junction temperature remains below 175 °C under steady-state conditions with RθJC = 0.75 °C/W and typical PCB copper area.
Does IRL3302PBF support 3.3 V gate drive in practice?
Yes - with VGS(th) ranging from 1.0 V to 2.0 V and RDS(on) specified down to 4.5 V, the device achieves usable conduction (RDS(on) ≈ 8.5 mΩ) at 3.3 V VGS. However, full enhancement (≤4.5 mΩ) requires ≥4.5 V; for 3.3 V systems, layout must minimize gate resistance and ensure clean drive to avoid partial turn-on losses.
How is the dual-drain configuration (pins 2 and 4) used in PCB layout?
Pins 2 and 4 are internally shorted to the same drain node and metal tab. In layout, both pins must be routed to the high-side power net (e.g., input rail or inductor node) with equal-length, wide copper traces. This balances current distribution and reduces parasitic inductance-critical for suppressing voltage spikes during fast dI/dt switching in multiphase VRMs.
Is IRL3302PBF suitable for linear-mode operation?
No - it is not characterized or rated for linear (active-region) operation. The Safe Operating Area (SOA) graph shows only single-pulse and repetitive pulse limits; sustained operation in the linear region risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) and insufficient SOA margin below 10 µs pulse width. Use only in switched-mode applications.
