Product details
Overview
IRL620S from Vishay Siliconix is a logic-level N-channel power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, rated for 200 V VDS, 5.2 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 0.80 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It supports fast switching, repetitive avalanche operation, and is optimized for high-current DC-DC converters and motor control circuits requiring low gate drive voltage.
For engineers reviewing the IRL620S datasheet, IRL620S pinout, IRL620S application, or IRL620S equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4 V logic-level gate threshold, 16 nC total gate charge, 2.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and D2PAK surface-mount footprint compatibility with high-power PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The IRL620S employs third-generation trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching capability. Its dynamic dV/dt rating of 5.0 V/ns and 125 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy support reliable operation in hard-switched topologies.
Designed for surface-mount assembly, the device integrates a robust body diode with 180–270 ns reverse recovery time and 1.1–1.7 μC Qrr, enabling moderate-frequency synchronous rectification and freewheeling in buck and half-bridge configurations without external Schottky supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 200 V - Supports input rails up to 170 V DC in offline SMPS or 48 V industrial bus systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4 V | 1.0 Ω - Enables full enhancement using standard 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| Qg | 16 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement; compatible with low-cost discrete or integrated drivers like TC4427. |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25 °C) | 5.2 A - Delivers ~10 W conduction loss at 0.8 Ω in thermally optimized D2PAK mounting. |
| RthJC | 2.5 °C/W - Enables 50 W power dissipation with ≤ 125 °C junction rise above case when heatsinked. |
| EAS | 125 mJ - Withstands single unclamped inductive energy spikes typical in relay driving or solenoid control. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) package: surface-mount, single-ended heat sink tab (Drain), 3-terminal configuration with exposed thermal pad. Dimensions per JEDEC outline TO-263AB: 10.67 mm × 9.65 mm × 4.83 mm (L × W × H), 2.54 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Logic-level control input; requires ≤ 10 V drive; gate leakage < ±100 nA ensures low standby current. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | Main power output terminal and thermal path; electrically connected to exposed copper tab for heatsinking. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return and reference node; internal source inductance 7.5 nH affects high-di/dt switching ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V enables direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V MCUs and CPLDs without gate drivers. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Rated for 5.2 A IAR and 5.0 mJ EAR - supports reliable operation in inductive load switching without snubbers. |
| Dynamic dV/dt immunity | 5.0 V/ns rating prevents false turn-on during high-speed voltage transients in noisy power stages. |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 9.6/16 = 60 % - improves Miller immunity and reduces switching instability in high-side configurations. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP20NM50FP | 500 V VDS, 20 A ID, 0.23 Ω RDS(on), TO-220FP package - higher voltage rating but larger footprint and no logic-level gate. | Requires gate driver for 3.3 V control; better suited for 400 V PFC stages than 200 V DC-DC. | Select when higher blocking voltage and current headroom outweigh surface-mount and logic-level requirements. |
| IRFZ44NPBF | 55 V VDS, 49 A ID, 0.028 Ω RDS(on), TO-220 - lower voltage, much higher current, non-logic-level (VGS(th) = 2–4 V). | Not suitable for 200 V applications; optimal for 12–24 V high-current motor drives. | Choose only for low-voltage, high-current scenarios where IRL620S's voltage rating is excessive. |
Compared with STP20NM50FP and IRFZ44NPBF, the IRL620S uniquely balances 200 V rating, logic-level gate, D2PAK surface-mount compatibility, and 5.2 A current capacity-making it optimal for space-constrained, medium-voltage industrial power stages where gate drive simplicity and thermal performance are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRL620S at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRL620S supports 3.3 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the D2PAK package under sustained high-temperature operation and must be verified against actual PCB layout and heatsinking in the final design. The IRL620S datasheet confirms this value applies to both leaded and lead-free versions including IRL620STRLPbFa.
Does IRL620S require a gate resistor for safe switching?
Yes, the IRL620S benefits from an external gate resistor to control dI/dt and suppress oscillation. With 16 nC total gate charge and 7.5 nH source inductance, uncontrolled gate drive can cause ringing and shoot-through in bridge configurations. A 9.0 Ω resistor is used in the official switching time test circuit (Fig. 10b), and values between 5–22 Ω are typical for 100–500 kHz operation. The IRL620S gate threshold and Miller plateau characteristics make gate resistance critical for EMI and reliability.
Is IRL620S suitable for use in synchronous rectification?
The IRL620S is not recommended for synchronous rectification due to its body diode's relatively slow reverse recovery (180–270 ns) and high Qrr (1.1–1.7 μC). While functional in low-frequency (< 100 kHz) freewheeling roles, its recovery characteristics increase switching loss and EMI compared to dedicated sync rectifiers like SiR872DP or FDMC7680S. For synchronous rectification, the IRL620S should be replaced with devices optimized for low Qrr and fast trr.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for IRL620S in standard PCB mount?
In standard 1" square FR-4 PCB mount, the IRL620S has a maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) of 40 °C/W, per the Thermal Resistance Ratings table. This value assumes no external heatsink and accounts for conduction through the D2PAK thermal pad into the copper plane. When mounted on a minimal 1"² board, the IRL620S can dissipate 3.1 W continuously - consistent with its 3.1 W maximum power rating under those conditions.
Can IRL620S replace IRLZ44N in a 24 V motor control application?
No - the IRL620S is not a drop-in replacement for IRLZ44N. Although both are logic-level N-channel MOSFETs, the IRL620S has 200 V VDS and 5.2 A ID, whereas the IRLZ44N is rated for 55 V and 47 A. Substituting IRL620S in a 24 V system would result in significantly higher RDS(on) (1.0 Ω @ 4 V vs. 0.028 Ω), causing excessive conduction loss and thermal stress. The IRL620S is intended for medium-voltage applications where the IRLZ44N's voltage rating is insufficient.
