Product details
Overview
IRLU3103 from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a logic-level N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-251AA (I-PAK) package, rated for 30V VDSS, 55A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and 0.019Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10V. It features ultra-low on-resistance, full avalanche rating, and fast switching for high-efficiency DC-DC converters, motor drives, and load switching in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRLU3103 datasheet, IRLU3103 pinout, IRLU3103 application, or IRLU3103 equivalent, key selection criteria include gate threshold voltage (1.0–2.5V), pulsed drain current (220A), junction-to-case thermal resistance (1.4°C/W), and diode reverse recovery charge (210–310nC) in hard-switching topologies.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs fifth-generation HEXFET® process technology to minimize conduction losses while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching capability. Its logic-level gate drive (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.5V) enables direct interfacing with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry.
The device integrates a fast, low-Qrr body diode (trr = 81–120ns, Qrr = 210–310nC) and exhibits controlled dv/dt immunity (5.0V/ns peak diode recovery), making it suitable for synchronous rectification and freewheeling paths where reverse recovery behavior critically impacts EMI and efficiency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 30V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines usable input range in 24V systems. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS=10V | 0.019Ω - Conduction loss of ≤3.5W at 30A DC, enabling compact thermal design in surface-mount or through-hole layouts. |
| ID @ TC=25°C | 55A - Continuous current capability under ideal heatsinking; derates to 39A at 100°C case temperature. |
| Qg | 50nC - Total gate charge determining driver strength requirement; supports ~1MHz switching with moderate gate drivers. |
| EAS | 240mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; allows safe operation under inductive turn-off transients up to specified IAS=34A. |
| trr | 81–120ns - Body diode reverse recovery time; critical for minimizing commutation loss and voltage overshoot in buck/flyback outputs. |
| RθJC | 1.4°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables precise junction temperature estimation using measured case temperature. |
Pinout & Package
IRLU3103 uses the TO-251AA (I-PAK) three-lead through-hole package with isolated tab. Leads are arranged in straight-line configuration: Pin 1 = Gate (G), Pin 2 = Drain (D), Pin 3 = Source (S). The drain-connected tab provides low-inductance thermal path and must be electrically isolated from PCB ground unless referenced to system drain potential.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Lead 1) | Gate | Logic-level control input; requires <100nA leakage handling and 50nC total charge for full enhancement. |
| Pin 2 (Lead 2) | Drain | Main high-side or low-side power terminal; connected internally to metal tab for thermal conduction and low-inductance current path. |
| Pin 3 (Lead 3) | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; forms return path for load current and body diode conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 1.0–2.5V - Enables direct drive from 3.3V/5V MCUs without external level shifters or gate drivers. |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 0.019Ω @ 10V - Reduces conduction loss by >40% vs. legacy 30V MOSFETs, improving efficiency in high-current 12–24V rails. |
| Full avalanche rated | EAS = 240mJ - Guarantees robustness against inductive switching stress without external snubbers in relay/motor drive circuits. |
| Fast body diode | Qrr = 210–310nC, trr = 81–120ns - Minimizes reverse recovery loss and EMI in synchronous rectifiers and half-bridge freewheeling. |
| Lead-free construction | PbF suffix - Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with standard SnAgCu reflow profiles up to 300°C (10s). |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR3103PbF | Same die, D-PAK (TO-252AA) surface-mount package; identical RDS(on), Qg, and avalanche ratings. | Requires PCB footprint change; better thermal performance in high-reliability SMT assemblies with copper pour. | Select when automated assembly, higher power density, or lower thermal resistance (RθJA = 50°C/W vs. 110°C/W) is prioritized. |
| STP30NF20 | 200V VDSS, 30A ID, 0.042Ω RDS(on); higher voltage rating but double on-resistance and slower switching. | Suitable only for 24V systems requiring margin against transients >100V; not logic-level (VGS(th) = 2–4V). | Choose only if 200V breakdown is mandatory and gate drive voltage ≥10V is available; avoid for 3.3V MCU interfaces. |
Compared with IRLR3103PbF, the IRLU3103 offers identical electrical performance in a through-hole package for manual prototyping or high-vibration environments, while STP30NF20 trades conduction efficiency and logic compatibility for higher voltage headroom-making it unsuitable for space-constrained 24V logic-driven designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-to-source voltage for reliable operation?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±16V. Operation beyond this risks permanent gate oxide damage. For robust design, limit gate drive to ≤12V with transient clamping, especially in noisy industrial environments where ringing may exceed steady-state levels.
Can IRLU3103 be used in linear (analog) mode for current regulation?
Yes, but with strict thermal constraints: its SOA curve limits linear operation to ≤10A at VDS = 10V (100W) for <100µs pulses. Continuous linear use requires active cooling and derating below 2A at 20V to avoid thermal runaway due to positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient.
Does the body diode support continuous bidirectional current in H-bridge configurations?
The integrated body diode is rated for continuous source current (IS) up to 55A at TC = 25°C, matching the drain rating. However, its forward voltage (1.3V at 28A) and reverse recovery characteristics require careful layout to manage heat and voltage spikes during commutation.
Is the TO-251AA package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, the "PbF" suffix confirms compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte tin-plated leads and passes JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), supporting standard reflow profiles up to 260°C peak with no pre-bake required.
