Product details
Overview
IRLIZ44NPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a logic-level N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-220 Full-Pak package, rated for 55 V VDS, 30 A continuous drain current at 25°C, and 0.022 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It integrates a rugged body diode with 1.3 V forward voltage and 80–120 ns reverse recovery time, and is fully avalanche-rated for unclamped inductive switching in DC motor drives and power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRLIZ44NPBF datasheet, IRLIZ44NPBF pinout, IRLIZ44NPBF application, or IRLIZ44NPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its isolated TO-220 Full-Pak thermal performance (RθJC = 3.3 °C/W), logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), and 210 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - critical for high-reliability 24–48 V industrial power conversion and motor control designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs fifth-generation HEXFET process technology to achieve low on-resistance per die area while maintaining fast switching (tr = 84 ns, tf = 15 ns) and robust safe operating area (SOA) up to 10 ms at 25 V. Its isolated TO-220 Full-Pak construction provides 2.5 kVRMS voltage isolation and 4.8 mm creepage between sink and leads.
The device features a fully characterized body diode (VSD = 1.3 V, Qrr = 210–320 nC, trr = 80–120 ns) and is specified for operation from –55°C to +175°C junction temperature, with linear derating of 0.3 W/°C above 25°C case temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 48 V nominal bus systems with 20% margin |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.022 Ω - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 25 A, reducing heatsink requirements |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 30 A - Continuous current capability suitable for high-current DC-DC output stages |
| EAS | 210 mJ - Avalanche energy rating supports reliable operation under inductive load turn-off stress |
| RθJC | 3.3 °C/W - Low junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct mounting to heatsinks without insulators |
| Qg | 48 nC - Gate charge optimized for efficient driving with standard 5 V logic-level controllers |
| tr/tf | 84 ns / 15 ns - Fast switching minimizes transition losses in 100–500 kHz SMPS applications |
Pinout & Package
IRLIZ44NPBF uses the TO-220 Full-Pak package: an electrically isolated variant of TO-220AB with molded-in insulation enabling direct heatsink mounting via single screw or clip. The tab is internally connected to the Drain terminal and rated for 2.5 kVRMS isolation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control input | Logic-level compatible (1.0–2.0 V threshold); accepts 5 V microcontroller PWM directly |
| D (Drain) | High-side or low-side switch node | Internally connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system ground referenced |
| S (Source) | Power return path / reference | Common connection point for gate driver return and load current sensing; defines local ground for gate drive loop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Isolated TO-220 Full-Pak | Eliminates need for mica washers or silicone pads - reduces assembly cost and thermal interface resistance |
| Fully avalanche-rated | Guarantees survivability under unclamped inductive switching (EAS = 210 mJ), avoiding external snubbers |
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS = 4.0 V (RDS(on) ≤ 0.035 Ω), compatible with 3.3 V/5 V MCU outputs |
| Low Qgd/Qgs ratio | 25 nC / 8.6 nC ≈ 2.9 - improves hard-switching immunity and reduces Miller-induced shoot-through risk |
| High dv/dt immunity | Rated for 5.0 V/ns peak diode recovery dv/dt - suppresses false turn-on during commutation |
Applications
| Motor Drive H-Bridge Leg | DC-DC Synchronous Rectifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Half-bridge leg in 24–48 V brushed DC motor controller with PWM frequency up to 20 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switching element handling bidirectional current and freewheeling through integrated body diode. Use Value: 0.022 Ω RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <1.4 W at 25 A, while 210 mJ EAS ensures reliability during motor stall or reversal transients. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectifier in isolated 48 V input, 12 V output flyback or forward converter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Replaces Schottky diode to reduce forward drop and improve efficiency at high load currents. Use Value: 1.3 V VSD and 210 nC Qrr enable faster recovery than discrete diodes, cutting switching loss by >30% vs. 40 V Schottky at 15 A. |
| Industrial PLC Output Module | LED Driver High-Side Switch |
Use Scenario: Solid-state relay replacement in programmable logic controller digital output card driving solenoids or contactors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current, high-voltage switching element with built-in overtemperature and avalanche protection. Use Value: 175°C max junction temperature and 0.3 W/°C derating allow sustained 22 A operation at 100°C case temperature - exceeding typical PLC ambient specs. | Use Scenario: Constant-current LED string switch in architectural lighting with 36–48 V bus and PWM dimming. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side current switch controlling LED current path with minimal voltage headroom loss. Use Value: Logic-level gate enables direct drive from 5 V microcontroller; 55 V VDS accommodates 12–15 LED strings (42–52.5 V forward) plus margin. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFZ44NPBF | Higher RDS(on) (0.028 Ω), non-isolated TO-220AB, no avalanche rating | Requires external insulation and snubber for inductive loads; lower efficiency at high current | Lower-cost option where isolation and avalanche ruggedness are not required |
| STP55NF06L | 60 V VDS, 0.018 Ω RDS(on), logic-level, but TO-220 non-isolated and 150°C max TJ | Limited to lower ambient temperatures; lacks certified avalanche energy spec | Better conduction efficiency in space-constrained 60 V systems, but requires thermal derating above 125°C |
Compared with IRFZ44NPBF and STP55NF06L, IRLIZ44NPBF uniquely combines certified 2.5 kVRMS isolation, 210 mJ avalanche rating, and 175°C junction rating - making it the only choice for safety-critical, high-temperature, and inductive-load industrial applications requiring zero external insulation.

FAQ
Is IRLIZ44NPBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, IRLIZ44NPBF is lead-free and RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The "PbF" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free packaging. The molding compound and internal metallization meet all substance restrictions, including cadmium, hexavalent chromium, mercury, PBB, and PBDE limits.
Can IRLIZ44NPBF be used in surface-mount designs?
No - the TO-220 Full-Pak package is explicitly not recommended for surface-mount applications. Its mechanical structure, lead frame geometry, and thermal design require through-hole mounting and direct heatsink attachment using a screw or clip. Reflow soldering is not supported.
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±16 V. Exceeding this risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable operation, gate drive should be clamped to +12 V / –5 V using Zener diodes or dedicated gate drivers, especially in noisy industrial environments with voltage transients.
Does the body diode support continuous reverse conduction?
Yes - the integral body diode is rated for continuous source current (IS) of 30 A at 25°C case temperature and pulsed source current (ISM) of 160 A. Its VSD = 1.3 V at 17 A and trr = 80–120 ns are fully characterized, enabling use in freewheeling and synchronous rectification without external diodes.
