Product details
Overview
SIHA22N60EL-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 21 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in Thin-Lead TO-220 FULLPAK package, featuring 0.171 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 74 nC total gate charge, and 286 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy-designed for high-efficiency switch-mode power supplies in telecom and server applications.
For engineers reviewing the SIHA22N60EL-E3 datasheet, SIHA22N60EL-E3 pinout, SIHA22N60EL-E3 application, or SIHA22N60EL-E3 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance (RthJC = 3.6 °C/W), body diode recovery characteristics (trr = 365 ns, Qrr = 5.8 μC), and real-world design implications for PFC and solar inverter stages.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology optimized for high-voltage hard-switching operation. Its low Ciss (1690 pF) and minimized Qg/Qgd ratio (74 nC / 15 nC) reduce switching losses in continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC boost stages and 600 V DC-link inverters.
The integrated body diode is rated for 21 A continuous source-drain current with VSD = 1.2 V at 11 A and exhibits controlled reverse recovery (dI/dt = 100 A/μs, IRRM = 29 A), enabling reliable operation in bidirectional topologies like active clamp forward converters.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDS max | 600 V - supports 400 V AC input rectified to ~565 V DC bus with margin for surge and ringing |
| RDS(on) typ | 0.171 Ω at VGS = 10 V - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 11 A RMS in 2 kW PFC stage |
| Qg max | 74 nC - determines gate driver peak current requirement (~1.5 A for 50 ns rise time) |
| EAS | 286 mJ - withstands unclamped inductive switching events without failure in motor drive H-bridges |
| tr / tf | 46 ns / 24 ns - supports >200 kHz switching in LLC resonant converters with low EMI |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW22NM60ND | RDS(on) = 0.19 Ω, Qg = 65 nC, TO-247 package, no avalanche rating | Larger footprint; higher conduction loss but lower gate drive demand | Prefer when layout space allows TO-247 and avalanche ruggedness is not required |
| IXFH20N60P | RDS(on) = 0.22 Ω, Qg = 85 nC, TO-247, 300 mJ EAS, higher RthJC (0.5 °C/W) | Higher thermal resistance requires larger heatsink; better avalanche margin | Choose when system-level reliability under repeated overloads outweighs size constraints |
Compared with STW22NM60ND and IXFH20N60P, SIHA22N60EL-E3 offers the lowest RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit in TO-220 FULLPAK form factor, enabling compact, high-density designs where thermal interface resistance and board area are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHA22N60EL-E3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHA22N60EL-E3 is rated for 13 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This reflects thermal derating from its 21 A rating at 25 °C, based on a linear derating factor of 0.28 W/°C and RthJC = 3.6 °C/W. Designers must ensure heatsink design maintains case temperature ≤100 °C under worst-case load conditions to sustain this current in SIHA22N60EL-E3 applications.
Does SIHA22N60EL-E3 have a fully rated body diode for synchronous rectification?
Yes, the SIHA22N60EL-E3 features an integral body diode rated for 21 A continuous source-drain current and 45 A pulsed current, with characterized reverse recovery parameters: trr = 365 ns, Qrr = 5.8 μC, and IRRM = 29 A at dI/dt = 100 A/μs. These values are measured under standardized conditions and confirm suitability for controlled commutation in flyback and forward converters-key for efficient operation of SIHA22N60EL-E3 in bidirectional topologies.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHA22N60EL-E3, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
The SIHA22N60EL-E3 has a gate-source threshold voltage VGS(th) ranging from 3 V to 5 V at TJ = 25 °C, ensuring reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers. This range avoids unintended conduction near 0 V while allowing compatibility with industry-standard PWM controllers. Because SIHA22N60EL-E3 is not a logic-level device, gate drive circuits must deliver ≥10 V to achieve the specified 0.171 Ω RDS(on); undershoot below 3 V risks partial enhancement and excessive heating.
How does the Thin-Lead TO-220 FULLPAK package of SIHA22N60EL-E3 differ from standard TO-220 in thermal performance?
The Thin-Lead TO-220 FULLPAK package used by SIHA22N60EL-E3 provides improved thermal resistance versus standard TO-220: RthJC = 3.6 °C/W (typical) compared to ~4.5–5.0 °C/W for conventional variants. This results from enhanced copper clip construction and reduced bond wire inductance. The package also features isolated drain tab and tighter dimensional tolerances (e.g., D = 8.5 mm ±0.2 mm), enabling higher power density in SIHA22N60EL-E3-based designs without sacrificing thermal reliability.
Is SIHA22N60EL-E3 suitable for use in automotive-grade power modules?
No, SIHA22N60EL-E3 is not qualified to AEC-Q101 or automotive temperature grade standards. Its operating junction temperature range is –55 °C to +150 °C, but Vishay does not specify automotive qualification testing, PPAP documentation, or extended lifetime reliability data for SIHA22N60EL-E3. It is intended for industrial, telecom, and renewable energy applications. For automotive use, designers should select Vishay's AEC-Q101-qualified alternatives such as the SQ series, not SIHA22N60EL-E3.
