Product details
Overview
IRL3303PBF from Infineon Technologies is a 30V, 110A N-channel HEXFET Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-current DC-DC conversion and motor control with RDS(on) = 3.3 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and low gate charge (Qg = 80 nC). It operates with logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V) and features integrated body diode with trr = 65 ns.
For engineers reviewing the IRL3303PBF datasheet, IRL3303PBF pinout, IRL3303PBF application, or IRL3303PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance at 4.5 V gate drive, avalanche ruggedness rating (EAS = 390 mJ), SOA compliance at 100°C case temperature, and thermal resistance (RθJC = 0.9°C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe cell structure and optimized doping profile to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining robust unclamped inductive switching (UIS) performance. Its gate oxide is rated for ±20 V maximum, and the device supports continuous drain current up to 110 A at TC = 25°C with derating to 70 A at TC = 100°C.
The integrated body diode exhibits soft recovery characteristics (dv/dt < 5.5 V/ns, di/dt < 200 A/μs) and forward voltage drop of 1.3 V at IS = 55 A, enabling efficient synchronous rectification in buck converters without external Schottky diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V and 24 V system bus applications |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 3.3 mΩ - Enables ≤1.2 W conduction loss at 60 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 80 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed in hard-switched topologies |
| EAS | 390 mJ - Confirmed single-pulse avalanche energy rating for inductive load protection |
| RθJC | 0.9°C/W - Supports thermal design with heatsink interface resistance ≤0.5°C/W for 100°C case operation |
| trr | 65 ns - Body diode reverse recovery time measured at IF = 55 A, dIF/dt = 100 A/μs |
Pinout & Package
IRL3303PBF uses JEDEC-standard TO-220AB package with exposed drain tab for thermal and electrical connection. Leads are tin-plated, lead-free compliant per RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – GATE | Control electrode | Receives logic-level or PWM signal; requires 10 V for full enhancement; gate capacitance Ciss = 3200 pF |
| 2 – DRAIN | Main current output terminal | Internally connected to metal tab; electrically and thermally coupled to heatsink; rated for 30 V blocking |
| 3 – SOURCE | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Common return path for load current; used as ground reference in low-side switch configurations |
| 4 – DRAIN | Secondary drain connection | Parallel drain path to Pin 2; reduces package inductance and improves current sharing in high-frequency switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) max = 2.0 V ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs |
| Low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | 6.0 mΩ - enables use in 5 V gate-drive systems without gate boosters |
| Enhanced avalanche rating | EAS = 390 mJ - supports reliable operation under inductive turn-off stress without snubbers |
| Soft-recovery body diode | dv/dt < 5.5 V/ns - minimizes EMI and voltage overshoot during freewheeling in buck and half-bridge stages |
Applications
| DC-DC Buck Converter | Brushed DC Motor Driver |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL3803PBF | RDS(on) = 3.0 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 95 nC; same TO-220AB package | Higher gate charge increases driver losses in >500 kHz designs | Preferred where lowest on-resistance is critical and gate drive capability permits higher Qg |
| STP36NF3L | RDS(on) = 4.5 mΩ @ 10 V; VGS(th) = 1.0–2.5 V; TO-220FP package (isolated tab) | Non-isolated tab in IRL3303PBF simplifies heatsinking but requires insulating hardware | Select STP36NF3L when electrical isolation between drain and heatsink is mandatory |
Compared with IRL3303PBF, IRL3803PBF offers marginally lower conduction loss but demands more gate drive energy, while STP36NF3L trades higher RDS(on) for drain-to-heatsink isolation-critical in floating-ground or multi-rail systems.

FAQ
Is IRL3303PBF suitable for 5 V gate drive applications?
Yes. With VGS(th) ranging from 1.0 V to 2.0 V and RDS(on) = 6.0 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, IRL3303PBF fully enhances using standard 5 V logic outputs. It delivers usable current capability down to 4.5 V gate drive, making it compatible with most microcontrollers and gate drivers without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the maximum safe operating area (SOA) at 100°C case temperature?
At TC = 100°C, the SOA curve supports 70 A continuous drain current at VDS = 10 V for DC operation, and 35 A at VDS = 20 V. Pulse operation (≤10 ms) extends this to 95 A at 10 V. These limits assume proper PCB copper area and heatsink interface resistance ≤0.5°C/W.
Does IRL3303PBF have avalanche ruggedness rating?
Yes. IRL3303PBF is 100% tested for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) and specified with EAS = 390 mJ at TJ = 25°C. This rating applies to single-pulse conditions and confirms robustness against inductive turn-off transients in relay drivers and motor control H-bridges.
Can IRL3303PBF be mounted directly to a heatsink without insulation?
Yes, but only if the heatsink is electrically isolated from system ground. The TO-220AB package exposes the drain (Pins 2 and 4) on the metal tab. Direct mounting is permitted when the heatsink is floating or referenced to drain potential; otherwise, an insulating pad or mica washer with thermal grease is required to prevent short circuits.
