Product details
Overview
NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ from Renesas Electronics is an N-channel power MOSFET designed for high-current DC switching in industrial power supplies and motor control circuits. It delivers RDS(on) = 6.5 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V / ID = 30 A, supports ±60 A DC drain current, and features built-in gate protection diode and 40 V VDSS rating.
For engineers reviewing the NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ datasheet, NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ pinout, NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ application, or NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage gate drive capability (RDS(on) = 9.1 mΩ max at 4.5 V), avalanche energy rating (100 mJ), and TO-252 (MP-3Z) thermal performance with Rth(ch-C) = 1.5°C/W.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a planar vertical DMOS structure optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.5–2.5 V) enables compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level drivers, while the integrated gate protection diode mitigates ESD risk during handling and assembly.
The device exhibits Ciss = 2600 pF typ. at VDS = 25 V and QG = 50–75 nC, supporting efficient gate driving in hard-switched topologies. Its body diode has trr = 40 ns and Qrr = 42 nC, enabling moderate-frequency freewheeling in synchronous rectification and H-bridge configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage in off-state; suitable for 24 V and 36 V bus systems. |
| RDS(on)1 | 6.5 mΩ max @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 30 A - Enables <1.95 W conduction loss at 30 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| RDS(on)2 | 9.1 mΩ max @ VGS = 4.5 V, ID = 30 A - Supports direct drive from standard microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| ID(DC) | ±60 A @ TC = 25°C - Sustains continuous load current typical of BLDC motor phases and SMPS primary switches. |
| EAR | 100 mJ - Rated repetitive avalanche energy allows safe operation under inductive turn-off stress without external snubbers. |
| Ciss | 2600 pF typ. @ VDS = 25 V - Low input capacitance reduces gate drive power and improves switching speed in high-frequency converters. |
| tr/tf | 13–32 ns / 14–34 ns - Fast edge rates support >200 kHz PWM operation with minimal switching loss. |
Pinout & Package
NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ is housed in a TO-252 (MP-3Z) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. The case-to-channel thermal resistance is 1.5°C/W, enabling high-power operation on standard 2 oz copper PCBs with thermal vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: Gate | Control terminal | Receives voltage-controlled signal to modulate channel conductivity; requires <75 nC total charge for full enhancement. |
| 2: Drain | High-side current path | Connected to power rail or inductive load; electrically tied to metal fin for low-inductance, high-current routing and heat spreading. |
| 3: Source | Reference node | Serves as return path for load current and reference for gate drive; must be routed with low inductance to minimize ringing. |
| 4: Fin (Drain) | Thermal & electrical connection | Exposed copper pad soldered to PCB ground plane or dedicated thermal pad; carries full drain current and dissipates >90% of junction heat. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced down to 4.5 V gate voltage, eliminating need for gate driver ICs in many 5 V control systems. |
| Built-in gate protection diode | ESD-rated diode between gate and source provides Class 2 HBM protection, reducing external TVS requirements in automated assembly lines. |
| Low QGD/QG ratio | QGD = 13 nC / QG = 50–75 nC ensures Miller plateau is short, improving immunity to dv/dt-induced false turn-on in bridge configurations. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 40 ns and Qrr = 42 nC enable clean commutation in synchronous buck and half-bridge topologies up to 100 kHz. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF6644TRPbF | RDS(on) = 5.2 mΩ @ 10 V but requires 10 V min. gate drive; no integrated gate protection diode. | Higher efficiency at 10 V drive, but needs external ESD protection and level-shifting for 3.3 V MCU control. | Select when gate drive voltage ≥10 V and board space permits discrete protection components. |
| STL220N4LF7AG | RDS(on) = 3.8 mΩ @ 10 V, 3.3×3.3 mm DFN package; lower thermal resistance (0.9°C/W) but rated only to 30 V VDSS. | Better power density for space-constrained designs, but unsuitable for 36 V bus or inductive spike margin above 30 V. | Select for compact 24 V systems where voltage margin is verified ≤30 V and thermal budget is tight. |
Compared with IRF6644TRPbF and STL220N4LF7AG, NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ offers balanced trade-offs: logic-level compatibility without external level shifters, integrated gate ESD protection, and 40 V rating with robust avalanche capability-making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial controls where drive voltage headroom and transient resilience are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ at 100°C case temperature?
At TC = 100°C, the maximum continuous drain current for NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ is derated to approximately 38 A, based on its 1.2 W total power dissipation at TA = 25°C and thermal resistance Rth(ch-C) = 1.5°C/W. This value assumes adequate PCB copper area and thermal vias to maintain case temperature.
Does NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ support 3.3 V microcontroller gate drive?
NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ is not fully enhanced at 3.3 V gate voltage. Its gate threshold voltage range is 1.5–2.5 V, but RDS(on) rises sharply below 4.5 V. At 3.3 V, conduction loss becomes excessive; therefore, NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ is specified for reliable operation starting at 4.5 V gate drive, making it compatible with 5 V MCUs and level-shifted 3.3 V systems.
What is the purpose of the "Fin (Drain)" terminal in the NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ TO-252 package?
The "Fin (Drain)" terminal (Pin 4) in NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ is an exposed metal pad electrically connected to the drain and thermally coupled to the silicon die. It serves dual functions: conducting high drain current with minimal resistance and dissipating heat directly into the PCB copper plane, achieving Rth(ch-C) = 1.5°C/W-critical for sustaining 60 A DC current in compact layouts.
Can NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ replace NP60N04HLF in a TO-251 footprint?
No-NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ uses TO-252 (MP-3Z), while NP60N04HLF uses TO-251 (MP-3). Though both share identical electrical specs, their land patterns differ: TO-252 has wider lead spacing and larger drain pad. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign; however, NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ offers superior thermal performance due to larger copper area in TO-252.
Is NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes-NP60N04ILF-E1-AZ meets EU RoHS Directive requirements and is halogen-free, as confirmed by Renesas Electronics' material declarations. The device carries the "E1-AZ" suffix, which denotes RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and green packaging per Renesas' standard product coding system.
