Product details
Overview
IRLZ34SPBF from Vishay Siliconix is a logic-level N-channel power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, rated for 60 V VDS, 30 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 0.05 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 5 V. It features fully avalanche-rated operation, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and fast switching with 35 nC total gate charge - optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC converters, motor drives, and solid-state relay replacements.
For engineers reviewing the IRLZ34SPBF datasheet, IRLZ34SPBF pinout, IRLZ34SPBF application, or IRLZ34SPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), low on-resistance at 5 V drive, surface-mount D2PAK thermal performance (RthJC = 1.7 °C/W), and unclamped inductive switching robustness (EAS = 128 mJ).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Vishay's third-generation silicon process to achieve ultra-low specific on-resistance while maintaining rugged avalanche capability. Its gate threshold voltage range (1.0–2.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic controllers, and its body diode exhibits trr = 120–180 ns and Qrr = 700–1300 nC under defined conditions.
The device operates within -55 to +175 °C junction temperature range and supports PCB-mount power dissipation up to 3.7 W (FR-4, 1" square). Thermal resistance from junction-to-case is 1.7 °C/W, enabling high-current operation when heatsinked via the exposed drain pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - supports 48 V bus systems with 20 % margin against transients |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 5 V | 0.05 Ω - enables <1 W conduction loss at 18 A DC, critical for thermally constrained layouts |
| ID continuous @ TC = 25 °C | 30 A - delivers high current density in surface-mount form without through-hole mounting |
| Qg total | 35 nC - determines gate driver strength requirement; compatible with medium-speed logic-level drivers |
| EAS | 128 mJ - withstands repetitive unclamped inductive energy spikes in motor commutation or solenoid control |
| TJ max | +175 °C - allows operation in high-ambient environments such as automotive engine bays or industrial enclosures |
| trr (body diode) | 120–180 ns - limits reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectification and H-bridge freewheeling |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection; 3-pin surface-mount outline conforming to JEDEC TO-263AB standard; recommended minimum PCB pad dimensions per Vishay AN826.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | Accepts logic-level input (1–2 V threshold); requires <35 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD |
| D (Drain) | High-side power terminal | Connected to exposed copper thermal pad; carries full load current and dissipates heat directly to PCB heatsink |
| S (Source) | Power return / reference node | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; forms source node of internal body diode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS = 4.0–5.0 V, eliminating need for gate boosters in 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller systems |
| Fully avalanche rated | Guaranteed single-pulse avalanche energy of 128 mJ enables robustness in inductive switching without external snubbers |
| Low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit | 1.75 Ω·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for high-frequency (<100 kHz) SMPS designs |
| Surface-mount D2PAK package | Provides lowest RthJC (1.7 °C/W) among standard SMT power packages, supporting >30 A current with PCB heatsinking |
| 175 °C operating temperature | Enables use in sealed or high-ambient environments where thermal derating of lower-TJ parts would reduce usable current |
Applications
| Brushless DC Motor Control | Industrial DC-DC Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving low-voltage BLDC phases in fans, pumps, and small actuators using 3-phase inverter topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switching element in 6-step commutation; handles bidirectional current with integrated body diode freewheeling. Use Value: 0.05 Ω RDS(on) minimizes I²R losses during high-duty-cycle operation; fast trr reduces cross-conduction risk during PWM transitions. | Use Scenario: Primary-side synchronous rectifier or secondary-side switch in isolated 12 V → 5 V/3.3 V flyback or forward converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power switch controlling energy transfer; body diode conducts during off-time in non-synchronous mode. Use Value: Logic-level gate enables direct drive from PWM controller outputs; 128 mJ EAS tolerates leakage inductance spikes without clamping circuits. |
| Solid-State Relay Replacement | Automotive Body Control Modules |
Use Scenario: Replacing electromechanical relays in lighting, HVAC, and power distribution modules requiring silent, bounce-free switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current, low-RDS(on) load switch controlled by MCU GPIO; body diode handles inductive kickback from lamps or solenoids.

Use Value: Avalanche rating absorbs load dump transients; RoHS-compliant Pb-free termination meets automotive qualification requirements. |
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 @ VGS = 10 V), not logic-level (VGS(th) = 2–4 V), TO-220 package | Requires 10 V gate drive; unsuitable for 3.3 V logic; higher thermal resistance than D2PAK | Select only if 10 V gate infrastructure exists and board space permits through-hole mounting |
| STP55NF06L | Similar logic-level drive (VGS(th) = 1–2.5 V), RDS(on) = 0.018 Ω @ 5 V, but TO-220FP package and lower EAS (95 mJ) | Larger footprint, lower avalanche robustness; less suitable for unclamped inductive loads | Prefer for cost-sensitive, non-avalanche-critical 5 V logic applications where thermal demand is moderate |
Compared with IRLZ34SPBF, IRFZ44NPbF demands higher gate voltage and offers inferior thermal performance in SMT layouts, while STP55NF06L trades avalanche margin for lower on-resistance but lacks the D2PAK's PCB thermal efficiency - making IRLZ34SPBF optimal for compact, high-reliability logic-driven power switching.

FAQ
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRLZ34SPBF?
The IRLZ34SPBF has a gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 1.0 V to 2.0 V at TJ = 25 °C and ID = 250 μA. This logic-level specification ensures full enhancement with standard 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs, eliminating the need for level-shifting circuitry in the IRLZ34SPBF design.
Is IRLZ34SPBF suitable for avalanche-prone circuits like motor drives?
Yes, IRLZ34SPBF is fully avalanche rated with a guaranteed single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 128 mJ under specified test conditions (VDD = 25 V, IAS = 30 A). This makes the IRLZ34SPBF appropriate for inductive switching applications such as BLDC motor phase control where voltage spikes from back-EMF must be safely absorbed.
What package type does IRLZ34SPBF use, and how does it impact thermal performance?
IRLZ34SPBF uses the D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with an exposed drain pad. Its junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC) is 1.7 °C/W, significantly lower than TO-220 or DPAK alternatives - enabling efficient heat transfer to the PCB and supporting 30 A continuous current when properly heatsinked, a key advantage of the IRLZ34SPBF in high-power-density designs.
Does IRLZ34SPBF have a built-in body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, IRLZ34SPBF integrates a parasitic body diode inherent to its vertical N-channel MOSFET structure. Key diode parameters include forward voltage VSD = 1.6 V at IS = 30 A and TJ = 25 °C, reverse recovery time trr = 120–180 ns, and reverse recovery charge Qrr = 700–1300 nC - all critical for evaluating freewheeling behavior in H-bridge and synchronous rectifier topologies using the IRLZ34SPBF.
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for IRLZ34SPBF at elevated temperatures?
The IRLZ34SPBF is rated for 30 A continuous drain current at case temperature TC = 25 °C, derating linearly at 0.59 W/°C above that point. At TC = 100 °C, the maximum continuous current drops to 21 A. This derating curve - documented in the IRLZ34SPBF datasheet Figure 9 - must be applied when estimating usable current in thermally constrained PCB layouts.
