Product details
Overview
IRLZ24NS from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a logic-level N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in D2PAK surface-mount package, rated for 55 V VDS, 18 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and RDS(on) = 0.06 Ω at VGS = 10 V. It features fast switching (tr = 74 ns), full avalanche rating (EAS = 68 mJ), and 175°C maximum junction temperature - deployed in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and solid-state relay replacements.
For engineers reviewing the IRLZ24NS datasheet, IRLZ24NS pinout, IRLZ24NS application, or IRLZ24NS equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), low RDS(on) at 5 V gate bias (0.075 Ω), avalanche ruggedness, thermal resistance (RθJC = 3.3 °C/W), and D2PAK footprint suitability for high-current PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This fifth-generation HEXFET device uses advanced planar processing to minimize on-resistance per die area while maintaining robust safe operating area (SOA) up to 10 ms pulses at 175°C. Its body diode exhibits trr = 60–90 ns and Qrr = 130–200 nC under 11 A, 100 A/µs conditions - critical for synchronous rectification and flyback snubberless designs.
The gate charge profile shows Qg = 15 nC total, with Qgd = 8.5 nC (Miller charge) at VDS = 44 V, enabling predictable turn-off control in hard-switched topologies. Thermal design is supported by validated RθJA = 40 °C/W (PCB-mounted, steady-state) and linear derating of 0.30 W/°C above 25°C case temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; supports 48 V bus systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.06 Ω - Enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 18 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 5 V | 0.075 Ω - Confirmed logic-level operation compatible with 5 V microcontrollers without gate drivers. |
| Qg | 15 nC - Total gate charge determines driver power and switching loss in PWM frequency range up to 500 kHz. |
| tr/tf | 74 ns / 29 ns - Fast edge rates reduce transition losses but require careful layout to suppress EMI. |
| EAS | 68 mJ - Single-pulse unclamped inductive switching capability enables robust overcurrent protection in motor H-bridges. |
| RθJC | 3.3 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance allows direct heatsink mounting for >40 W dissipation at ΔT = 130°C. |
Pinout & Package
The IRLZ24NS is housed in a D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. Lead assignments: Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Gate | Control electrode | Logic-level input requiring ≤2.0 V threshold; driven directly by MCU GPIO or low-side driver IC. |
| 2 - Drain | High-side current path | Internally connected to exposed copper tab - must be soldered to large copper pour or heatsink for thermal management. |
| 3 - Source | Reference node / return path | Common reference for gate drive and load current; connects to ground or low-side switch node. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V controllers without level-shifting. |
| Full avalanche rating | Rated for repetitive and single-pulse avalanche events up to 68 mJ - eliminates need for external clamping in inductive loads. |
| D2PAK thermal performance | RθJC = 3.3 °C/W enables >40 W continuous power dissipation when mounted to heatsink via drain tab. |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | Qgd = 8.5 nC of total Qg = 15 nC improves Miller immunity and reduces risk of spurious turn-on in high-dv/dt environments. |
| Body diode recovery | trr = 60–90 ns and Qrr = 130–200 nC support efficient synchronous rectification in buck and flyback converters. |
Applications
| Brushless DC Motor Control | Industrial DC-DC Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Half-bridge leg in 24–48 V BLDC inverters driving fans, pumps, or compressors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switching element with fast turn-off (tf = 29 ns) and avalanche tolerance during commutation spikes. Use Value: Eliminates external snubbers due to 68 mJ EAS; RDS(on) = 0.06 Ω minimizes conduction loss at 15 A RMS. | Use Scenario: Primary-side synchronous rectifier in isolated 48 V input, 12 V output forward converter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side power switch with body diode conducting freewheeling current before synchronous turn-on. Use Value: trr = 60 ns and low Qrr reduce switching loss and EMI during reverse recovery. |
| Solid-State Relay Replacement | Automotive Body Control Modules |
Use Scenario: High-side load switch replacing electromechanical relays in HVAC actuators or lighting circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Logic-level controlled power switch with integrated avalanche energy handling for inductive kick suppression. Use Value: 175°C TJ rating and 13 A ID@100°C enable operation in sealed enclosures without forced air cooling. | Use Scenario: Window lift or seat position motor driver in 12 V automotive systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: H-bridge low-side switch with robust short-circuit withstand (IDM = 72 A pulse) and thermal shutdown margin. Use Value: RθJC = 3.3 °C/W allows direct heatsink attachment to meet AEC-Q101 transient thermal requirements. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFZ44N | VDS = 55 V, RDS(on) = 0.028 Ω @ 10 V, but VGS(th) = 2–4 V - not logic-level at 3.3 V. | Requires gate driver for 3.3 V MCU control; higher conduction loss at 5 V gate bias. | Preferable only if gate drive voltage ≥10 V and lower RDS(on) is critical. |
| STP55NF06L | VDS = 60 V, RDS(on) = 0.014 Ω @ 10 V, VGS(th) = 1–2.5 V - tighter threshold spread, slightly better SOA. | Same logic-level compatibility; improved RDS(on) but higher Qg (34 nC) increases driver demand. | Better for high-efficiency 5 V systems where gate drive strength permits. |
Compared with IRLZ24NS, IRFZ44N demands higher gate voltage for full enhancement and lacks guaranteed 5 V operation, while STP55NF06L offers lower on-resistance but requires more gate drive energy - making IRLZ24NS optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 3.3/5 V MCU-driven switches.

FAQ
Is IRLZ24NS suitable for 3.3 V microcontroller gate drive?
Yes. With VGS(th) specified from 1.0 V to 2.0 V and RDS(on) = 0.105 Ω at VGS = 4.0 V and ID = 9.0 A, the IRLZ24NS fully enhances using standard 3.3 V GPIO outputs - verified by datasheet test conditions and typical transfer characteristics at TJ = 25°C and 175°C.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The datasheet specifies ID @ TC = 100°C as 13 A at VGS = 10 V. This value accounts for thermal derating and is measured under steady-state PCB-mount conditions - not ambient temperature - and reflects actual conduction capability when heatsinked to maintain TC ≤ 100°C.
Does IRLZ24NS have a built-in body diode, and what are its recovery specs?
Yes. The intrinsic p-n junction body diode has VSD = 1.3 V at IS = 11 A and TJ = 25°C. Its reverse recovery time trr is 60–90 ns, with Qrr = 130–200 nC under di/dt = 100 A/µs - parameters confirmed in Figure 7 and Table "Source-Drain Ratings and Characteristics".
Can IRLZ24NS be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but with design precautions. Its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (see Fig. 4) promotes current sharing, yet gate drive imbalance and layout asymmetry can cause uneven stress. Use matched gate resistors, symmetrical PCB traces, and individual source resistors for current sensing - validated in application note AN-994 for D2PAK thermal footprints.
