Product details
Overview
IRLI530N from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 100V, 12A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-220 Full-Pak package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.10 Ω @ VGS = 10V, logic-level gate drive (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), and fully avalanche-rated operation. It serves as a high-efficiency, isolated-switching power device in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRLI530N datasheet, IRLI530N pinout, IRLI530N application, or IRLI530N equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating, 4.8 mm sink-to-lead creepage distance, 150 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, and compatibility with standard heatsink mounting via single screw or clip-critical for thermally demanding commercial-industrial designs.
Technical Context
This HEXFET® Power MOSFET employs fifth-generation silicon processing to minimize conduction loss while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching capability. Its integrated body diode supports synchronous rectification and freewheeling, with trr = 140–210 ns and Qrr = 740–1100 nC at TJ = 25°C.
The TO-220 Full-Pak package provides intrinsic electrical isolation between drain (tab) and leads, eliminating external insulators. Thermal resistance is RθJC = 3.7 °C/W and RθJA = 65 °C/W, enabling reliable operation up to TJ = +175°C with proper heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 100 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; suitable for 48V bus and 100V DC input systems. |
| RDS(on) | 0.10 Ω @ VGS = 10V - Low conduction loss enables <1.2W dissipation at 12A continuous drain current. |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 12 A - Continuous current rating at case temperature 25°C; derates linearly by 0.27 W/°C above 25°C. |
| EAS | 150 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy; ensures robustness against inductive load transients without external snubbers. |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.0 V - Logic-level threshold enables direct drive from 3.3V/5V microcontrollers without gate drivers. |
| Qg | 34 nC - Total gate charge determines switching loss and driver sizing; compatible with low-power gate drivers. |
| tr/tf | 53 ns / 26 ns - Fast switching transitions reduce overlap loss in hard-switched topologies like buck converters. |
Pinout & Package
IRLI530N uses the TO-220 Full-Pak package: an electrically isolated variant of TO-220AB where the metal tab is internally connected to the drain and rated for 2.5 kVRMS isolation. Mounting requires only one screw or clip, with creepage distance of 4.8 mm between tab and leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives logic-level voltage (1.0–16 V); low input capacitance (Ciss = 800 pF) minimizes driver burden. |
| D (Drain) | High-side power terminal | Internally bonded to isolated metal tab; serves as primary heat path and high-voltage node (100 V max). |
| S (Source) | Reference and return path | Common connection for gate drive reference and load return; internal source inductance LS = 7.5 nH affects high-di/dt stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Isolated TO-220 Full-Pak | Eliminates need for mica washers or insulating sleeves-reduces assembly cost and thermal interface resistance. |
| Fully avalanche rated | Guarantees survivability under unclamped inductive switching (EAS = 150 mJ), reducing design margin requirements. |
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates reliably with 3.3V/5V controllers, avoiding level-shifters and simplifying PCB layout. |
| Low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit | 0.10 Ω × 34 nC = 3.4 Ω·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for medium-frequency SMPS (≤100 kHz). |
Applications
| Motor Drive Inverter | DC-DC Buck Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Half-bridge switching in 24–48V BLDC motor controllers for HVAC blowers and industrial pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side N-channel switch with integrated body diode used for freewheeling and PWM-controlled phase current.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PWM-controlled current regulator placed in series with LED load and sense resistor. Use Value: 12A ID rating supports >100W LED arrays; low RDS(on) maintains >96% efficiency at full load. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF530N | RDS(on) = 0.16 Ω @ 10V; VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V; no isolation rating | Requires gate driver for 3.3V logic; needs external insulator for heatsink mounting | Lower cost but higher conduction loss and reduced thermal/mechanical integration |
| STP12NK100Z | 1000V rating; RDS(on) = 0.95 Ω @ 10V; Zener-protected gate; slower switching | Designed for high-voltage flyback and resonant converters, not low-VDS high-current apps | Not interchangeable-over-specified voltage, under-specified current and speed for IRLI530N use cases |
Compared with IRF530N and STP12NK100Z, the IRLI530N uniquely combines logic-level drive, isolated packaging, and optimized RDS(on)/Qg for compact, thermally efficient 100V switching in space-constrained industrial power stages.

FAQ
Is the IRLI530N RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the IRLI530N is lead-free and RoHS-compliant, indicated by the "PbF" suffix in its orderable part number (IRLI530NPbF). It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and has been verified per JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 marking standards.
Can the IRLI530N be used in surface-mount designs?
No-the TO-220 Full-Pak package is explicitly not recommended for surface-mount applications. Its mechanical structure, tab geometry, and thermal path are designed for through-hole mounting and heatsink attachment using screws or clips.
What is the maximum safe operating frequency for the IRLI530N?
The IRLI530N is optimized for hard-switched operation up to 100 kHz. At higher frequencies, switching losses dominate due to Qg = 34 nC and Coss = 160 pF; operation beyond 150 kHz requires careful gate drive optimization and thermal derating.
Does the IRLI530N require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes-a gate resistor is required to control dV/dt and prevent oscillation. For typical 5V logic drive, RG = 6.0 Ω is used in characterization (per Fig. 10 and datasheet switching specs); values between 4.7 Ω and 10 Ω balance speed and ringing suppression in most 48V applications.
