Product details

Overview

IRLD024 from Vishay Siliconix is a logic-level N-channel power MOSFET in HVMDIP package, rated for 60 V V_DS, 2.5 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 0.10 Ω R_DS(on) at V_GS = 5 V. It features fast switching, 175 °C operation, and dual-drain thermal design for up to 1 W dissipation in board-mounted power control applications.

For engineers reviewing the IRLD024 datasheet, IRLD024 pinout, IRLD024 application, or IRLD024 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4-pin DIP layout, gate drive compatibility with 4–5 V logic, avalanche energy rating (91 mJ), thermal resistance (120 °C/W), and body diode recovery performance (t_rr = 110–260 ns).

Technical Context

The IRLD024 employs a third-generation silicon process optimized for low R_DS(on) and robust dV/dt immunity (4.5 V/ns peak diode recovery rate). Its HVMDIP package integrates dual drain leads as a thermal path to the PCB, enabling conduction-cooled operation without heatsinks in low-power switching.

It operates with gate threshold voltage between 1.0 V and 2.0 V, supports logic-level drive down to 4 V, and delivers 3.7 S transconductance at 1.5 A - enabling efficient gate control in microcontroller-driven DC-DC, motor drive, and load-switching circuits.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DS	60 V - supports 48 V rail switching with 20 % margin against transients
R_DS(on) @ V_GS = 5 V	0.10 Ω - enables ≤0.56 W conduction loss at 2.5 A, suitable for thermally constrained layouts
Q_g	18 nC - determines gate drive power requirement and switching speed in PWM circuits
T_J max	175 °C - allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments
E_AS	91 mJ - provides unclamped inductive switching robustness in relay/motor driver flyback scenarios
R_thJA	120 °C/W - defines thermal rise under natural convection; requires ≥1 cm² copper pour for full 1.3 W rating
t_rr	110–260 ns - limits reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectification or half-bridge freewheeling

Pinout & Package

The IRLD024 uses the HVMDIP (High Voltage Mini-DIP) 4-pin through-hole package: 12.5 mm × 10.8 mm footprint, 7.36 mm max height, with dual drain leads (pins 1 & 4) serving as primary thermal paths to the PCB. Pin 2 is Gate, Pin 3 is Source.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
Pin 1 (Drain)	Main current-carrying terminal	Dual-drain configuration shares thermal load; both pins must be soldered to large copper area for rated power
Pin 2 (Gate)	Control input	Logic-compatible; drives fully on at 4–5 V; 100 nA leakage ensures stable state with high-impedance MCU outputs
Pin 3 (Source)	Reference node / return path	Provides Kelvin sense point for accurate current monitoring; ties directly to ground plane for low-noise switching
Pin 4 (Drain)	Main current-carrying terminal	Electrically identical to Pin 1; used jointly to reduce lead inductance and improve thermal spreading

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Logic-level gate drive	Turns fully on at V_GS = 4 V - eliminates need for gate driver ICs in 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller systems
Dual drain thermal design	Enables 1 W power dissipation with PCB copper only - no heatsink required in space-constrained designs
Dynamic dV/dt rating	4.5 V/ns peak diode recovery dV/dt - prevents false turn-on during fast voltage transients in inductive loads
175 °C junction rating	Supports operation in sealed industrial enclosures or automotive under-hood ambient conditions up to 105 °C
End stackable package	HVMDIP footprint allows vertical stacking of multiple units on 0.1" grid - saves board area in multi-channel power modules

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
IRLD014PbF	Lower V_DS (40 V), lower R_DS(on) (0.07 Ω), same HVMDIP package and pinout	Suitable only for ≤36 V systems; higher current capability (3.0 A) but reduced transient margin	Select when operating voltage is strictly ≤36 V and lower conduction loss is prioritized over 60 V headroom
FQP30N06L	TO-220 package, higher R_DS(on) (0.075 Ω @ 10 V), requires 10 V gate drive for full spec	Needs external gate driver for 3.3 V logic; superior thermal performance (R_thJA ≈ 62 °C/W) with heatsink	Choose when higher power (≥2.5 W) and forced-air cooling are available, and board space permits TO-220

Compared with IRLD014PbF and FQP30N06L, the IRLD024 uniquely balances 60 V rating, logic-level drive, and DIP-mount thermal management - making it optimal for compact, self-cooled 48 V industrial controls where gate drive simplicity and board-level reliability are critical.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for the IRLD024 at 100 °C ambient temperature?

The IRLD024 supports 1.8 A continuous drain current at TA = 100 °C, per its absolute maximum ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the HVMDIP package under natural convection; performance assumes adequate PCB copper area for heat spreading. The IRLD024 maintains safe operation up to TJ = 175 °C, with linear derating factor 0.0083 W/°C above 25 °C ambient.

Does the IRLD024 require a gate driver IC when used with a 3.3 V microcontroller?

No, the IRLD024 does not require an external gate driver IC with a 3.3 V microcontroller. Its gate threshold voltage range (1.0–2.0 V) and specified R_DS(on) at V_GS = 4 V confirm full enhancement at logic-level voltages. The IRLD024 achieves 0.14 Ω R_DS(on) at V_GS = 4 V, ensuring low conduction loss even with 3.3 V drive, provided gate capacitance (18 nC total) is adequately charged.

What is the avalanche energy rating of the IRLD024, and under what test conditions is it measured?

The IRLD024 has a single-pulse avalanche energy rating (E_AS) of 91 mJ, measured under conditions of V_DD = 25 V, starting T_J = 25 °C, L = 16 mH, R_g = 25 Ω, and I_AS = 2.5 A. This rating validates ruggedness during unclamped inductive switching events such as motor commutation or relay de-energization. The IRLD024's specified avalanche capability eliminates need for external clamping in many low-energy inductive load applications.

How is thermal management implemented in the IRLD024's HVMDIP package?

The IRLD024 implements thermal management via dual drain leads (pins 1 and 4) that serve as direct thermal paths to the PCB mounting surface. These leads conduct heat into large copper pours, enabling up to 1 W power dissipation without a heatsink. The package's R_thJA is 120 °C/W, meaning a 1.3 W maximum power rating at 25 °C ambient requires ≥1 cm² of 2 oz copper for safe operation. The IRLD024's design avoids reliance on air convection alone.

Can the IRLD024 be used in parallel configurations for higher current handling?

Yes, the IRLD024 can be used in parallel configurations due to its positive temperature coefficient of R_DS(on), which promotes current sharing. Its transfer characteristics (Fig. 3) and normalized on-resistance vs. temperature curve (Fig. 4) confirm monotonic increase with junction temperature. For stable parallel operation, match gate resistors and ensure symmetrical PCB layout; the IRLD024's end-stackable HVMDIP footprint simplifies mechanical alignment and thermal coupling across multiple units.
