Product details
Overview
SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 21 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in Thin-Lead TO-220 FULLPAK package, featuring 0.155 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 41 nC typical Qg, and 183 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy-designed for high-efficiency switch-mode power supplies in telecom and server applications.
For engineers reviewing the SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 datasheet, SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 pinout, SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 application, or SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low FOM (RDS(on) × Qg), ultra-low gate charge, avalanche-rated ruggedness, and thermal performance with RthJC = 3.6 °C/W-critical for PFC and high-frequency SMPS designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology optimized for high-voltage switching with fast body diode recovery (trr = 285 ns typ.) and low Ciss (1757 pF) to minimize switching losses. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V) ensures robust noise immunity while enabling standard 10 V gate drive compatibility.
The device integrates an intrinsic fast-recovery body diode rated for 21 A continuous source-drain current and supports unclamped inductive switching up to 183 mJ. Thermal design is enabled by a low junction-to-case resistance (3.6 °C/W) and operation across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 50 % safety margin for telecom/PFC applications |
| RDS(on) typ. | 0.155 Ω at VGS = 10 V - enables <1.7 W conduction loss at 11 A, reducing heatsink requirements |
| Qg typ. | 41 nC - lowers gate drive power and enables >200 kHz switching without excessive driver loss |
| EAS | 183 mJ - provides robustness against inductive turn-off transients in motor drives and SMPS |
| trr | 285 ns typ. - minimizes diode reverse recovery loss and EMI in hard-switched topologies |
| RthJC | 3.6 °C/W - allows direct mounting to heatsink with predictable thermal rise under 35 W dissipation |
Pinout & Package

| Gate (G) | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring low-impedance gate driver (Rg = 9.1 Ω typical test condition) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low figure-of-merit (RDS(on) × Qg) | 6.35 Ω·nC - directly reduces total switching + conduction loss in high-frequency converters |
| Avalanche energy rating (EAS) | 183 mJ - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching |
| Body diode trr and Qrr | 285 ns / 4.1 μC - enables ZVS-capable topologies and reduces diode-induced voltage spikes |
| Thin-Lead TO-220 FULLPAK | Enhanced thermal interface vs. standard TO-220 - delivers 30 % lower RthJC for same footprint |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP22NM60ND | RDS(on) = 0.19 Ω (higher), Qg = 45 nC, TO-220FP package, no avalanche rating | Lacks UIS rating; less suitable for inductive switching or transient-prone environments | Prefer SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 where unclamped inductive stress or reliability-critical operation is required |
| IXTH24N60L2 | RDS(on) = 0.17 Ω, Qg = 36 nC, TO-247 package, higher RthJC (0.5 °C/W) | Larger footprint and higher thermal resistance; requires larger heatsink area | Choose SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 for space-constrained TO-220-based designs needing comparable performance |
Compared with STP22NM60ND and IXTH24N60L2, SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 delivers superior avalanche ruggedness, lower on-resistance in the same package, and better thermal efficiency-making it optimal for compact, high-reliability 600 V SMPS and PFC stages where layout area and transient immunity are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 supports 13 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the Thin-Lead TO-220 FULLPAK package and must be validated with actual board-level thermal design including heatsink interface resistance and ambient airflow.
Does SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 have a qualified avalanche rating, and what is its value?
Yes, SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 is fully rated for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with a single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 183 mJ at TJ = 25 °C, tested per industry-standard conditions (VDD = 120 V, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, IAS = 3.6 A). This rating is guaranteed and not typical-only.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for SIHA22N60AEL-GE3?
The SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 has a gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2.0 V to 4.0 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while providing noise margin against false triggering in noisy power environments.
Can SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 be used in place of logic-level MOSFETs?
No-SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 is not a logic-level device. Its VGS(th) minimum is 2.0 V, but it is characterized and optimized for 10 V gate drive (e.g., RDS(on) = 0.155 Ω at VGS = 10 V). Using 5 V drive yields significantly higher on-resistance and is not recommended for production designs.
What is the typical reverse recovery time (trr) of the body diode in SIHA22N60AEL-GE3?
The SIHA22N60AEL-GE3 body diode has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 285 ns at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 11 A, di/dt = 100 A/μs, and VR = 400 V. This fast recovery supports high-frequency hard-switching and reduces associated switching losses and EMI generation.
