Product details
Overview
IRLZ24NL from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a logic-level N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in low-profile through-hole TO-262 (I²PAK) package, rated for 55 V VDSS, 18 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and RDS(on) = 0.06 Ω at VGS = 10 V. It features fully avalanche-rated operation, 175°C maximum junction temperature, and fast switching with tr = 74 ns and tf = 29 ns - deployed in DC motor control, power supply synchronous rectification, and industrial solenoid drivers.
For engineers reviewing the IRLZ24NL datasheet, IRLZ24NL pinout, IRLZ24NL application, or IRLZ24NL equivalent, key selection criteria include its logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), low RDS(on) at 5 V gate drive (0.075 Ω), avalanche energy rating (EAS = 68 mJ), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 3.3 °C/W) - all critical for high-reliability 24 V industrial load switching.
Technical Context
This HEXFET® device uses fifth-generation silicon processing to achieve ultra-low on-resistance per die area while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching capability. Its body diode exhibits trr = 60–90 ns and Qrr = 130–200 nC under 11 A, enabling efficient hard-switched flyback and buck converter topologies.
The IRLZ24NL's gate charge profile (Qg = 15 nC, Qgd = 8.5 nC at VDS = 44 V) supports clean turn-on/turn-off with minimal Miller-induced oscillation, and its 5.0 V logic-compatible threshold ensures direct interface with microcontrollers and gate drivers without level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; suitable for 24 V nominal bus systems with 2× transient margin. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.06 Ω - Enables ≤1.2 W conduction loss at 18 A, reducing heatsink requirements in compact enclosures. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 5 V | 0.075 Ω - Confirmed low on-resistance at logic-level drive, supporting direct MCU GPIO control without external driver. |
| EAS | 68 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating ensures robustness against inductive kickback in relay/solenoid switching. |
| tr/tf | 74 ns / 29 ns - Fast edge rates minimize switching losses in PWM frequencies up to 200 kHz. |
| Qg | 15 nC - Total gate charge enables efficient driving with <100 mA peak gate current from standard logic buffers. |
| TJ max | +175°C - Extended junction temperature rating supports operation in sealed industrial enclosures without forced cooling. |
Pinout & Package
IRLZ24NL is housed in a low-profile through-hole TO-262 (I²PAK) package with isolated tab (drain-connected), optimized for manual assembly and high-power density board layouts where surface-mount D2Pak variants are unsuitable. Thermal performance is enhanced by direct PCB copper pour contact to the drain tab.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – Gate | Control electrode | Logic-level input requiring ≤2.0 V threshold; sensitive to ESD - must be protected with series resistor and/or TVS during layout. |
| 2 – Drain | High-side power terminal | Internally connected to metal tab; electrically tied to heatsink - requires isolation washer if heatsink is grounded. |
| 3 – Source | Power return path & reference node | Common return for load current and gate drive reference; low-inductance routing essential to suppress ringing during switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully avalanche-rated | 68 mJ single-pulse EAS validated per JEDEC JESD24-11 - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching. |
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V ensures full enhancement at 3.3 V or 5 V MCU outputs, removing gate driver ICs in cost-sensitive designs. |
| Low RDS(on) at 5 V | 0.075 Ω at VGS = 5 V and ID = 11 A - reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. non-logic-level MOSFETs at same gate voltage. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 60–90 ns and Qrr = 130–200 nC - minimizes reverse recovery loss and cross-conduction risk in synchronous rectifiers. |
| 175°C junction rating | Enables operation in ambient temperatures up to +85°C with conservative derating - validated for industrial control cabinet environments. |
Applications
| DC Motor Control | Industrial Solenoid Driver |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP55NF06L | RDS(on) = 0.018 Ω @ 10 V but VGS(th) = 1.0–2.5 V; TO-220 package; higher capacitance (Ciss = 1900 pF). | Better conduction loss at high current, but slower switching (tr = 120 ns) and larger footprint - less suitable for space-constrained 200 kHz designs. | Prefer when lowest RDS(on) dominates over switching speed and board area. |
| IRFZ44N | RDS(on) = 0.028 Ω @ 10 V; VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V; not logic-level rated at 5 V; TO-220 package. | Requires ≥4.0 V gate drive for full enhancement - incompatible with 3.3 V MCUs without level shift; higher gate charge (Qg = 67 nC). | Select only if gate drive is ≥4.5 V and thermal budget allows higher conduction loss at partial gate drive. |
Compared with STP55NF06L and IRFZ44N, the IRLZ24NL uniquely balances logic-level compatibility, moderate RDS(on), fast switching, and low-profile through-hole mounting - making it optimal for compact, MCU-driven industrial load switches where gate drive voltage and board height are constrained.

FAQ
Is IRLZ24NL pin-compatible with IRLZ24NS?
No - IRLZ24NL uses TO-262 (I²PAK) through-hole packaging with lead pitch 2.54 mm and drain-connected tab, while IRLZ24NS uses D2Pak surface-mount packaging with different pad layout and thermal pad geometry. Mechanical mounting, soldering process, and PCB footprint are not interchangeable.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 85°C case temperature?
Per the derating curve in Figure 9, ID at TC = 85°C is approximately 14.5 A. This is calculated from linear derating: 18 A − (85 − 25) × 0.30 W/°C ÷ 0.06 Ω ≈ 14.5 A, confirmed by the published graph showing ~14.2–14.7 A range at 85°C.
Can IRLZ24NL be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (see Fig. 4) ensures inherent current sharing stability. However, matched gate drive impedance (≤1 Ω per device) and symmetrical PCB layout (equal trace length/inductance) are mandatory to prevent dynamic imbalance during switching transitions.
Does the body diode support continuous conduction mode (CCM) in synchronous rectification?
Yes - the body diode is rated for continuous source current IS = 18 A and pulsed ISM = 72 A. Its trr = 60–90 ns and Qrr = 130–200 nC are characterized for CCM operation at ≤200 kHz, provided gate timing avoids shoot-through and thermal limits are observed.
