Product details
Overview
SIHA24N65EF-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 650 V, 24 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in Thin-Lead TO-220 FULLPAK package, featuring 0.13 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 81 nC typical Qg, and fast body diode with 151 ns trr. It is engineered for high-efficiency, high-frequency switching in telecom power supplies, solar inverters, and phase-shifted bridge topologies.
For engineers reviewing the SIHA24N65EF-GE3 datasheet, SIHA24N65EF-GE3 pinout, SIHA24N65EF-GE3 application, or SIHA24N65EF-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low Qrr (0.9 μC), avalanche-rated EAS (691 mJ), 70 V/ns dV/dt capability, and compatibility with ZVS and LCC resonant converters requiring robust body diode recovery.
Technical Context
This E-series MOSFET employs optimized silicon process and cell layout to reduce reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and input capacitance (Ciss = 2774 pF), enabling lower switching losses in hard- and soft-switching topologies. Its gate threshold voltage (2–4 V) and low gate input resistance (0.2–1.0 Ω) support stable drive under high dV/dt conditions up to 70 V/ns.
The integrated fast body diode delivers trr = 151 ns and IRRM = 13 A at 25 °C, with VSD = 0.9–1.2 V at IS = 12 A, making it suitable for bidirectional current paths in 3-level inverters and synchronous rectification where diode conduction is frequent and critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 650 V - supports DC bus voltages up to 400 V RMS in PV inverters and telecom rectifiers with margin |
| RDS(on) max @ 25 °C | 0.156 Ω - enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 12 A continuous drain current |
| Qg max | 122 nC - determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed in 100–500 kHz SMPS |
| trr typ | 151 ns - reduces diode-induced switching loss and EMI in phase-shifted full-bridge designs |
| EAS | 691 mJ - ensures ruggedness during unclamped inductive switching events without derating |
| Ciss | 2774 pF - lowers Miller effect and improves noise immunity in high-dV/dt environments |
| PD @ TC = 25 °C | 39 W - defines thermal design baseline when mounted on heatsink with RthJC = 3.2 °C/W |
Pinout & Package
Package: Thin-Lead TO-220 FULLPAK (lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free), dimensions per Vishay Doc. #62649: D = 8.3–8.7 mm, d1 = 14.7–15.3 mm, L = 13.4–13.8 mm, with isolated drain tab and standard mounting screw (M3, 0.6 Nm torque).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Gate | Control input | Low-impedance MOS gate; 0.2–1.0 Ω internal Rg aids damping of ringing |
| Source | Reference return path | Common node for gate drive reference and load current return; ties to PCB ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast body diode technology | Reduces trr by >40% vs. standard 650 V MOSFETs, minimizing dead-time losses in bridge legs |
| Low Qrr (0.9 μC typ) | Directly cuts switching energy loss in ZVS circuits and suppresses voltage overshoot during diode turn-off |
| Ultra-low Qg/RDS(on) FOM | Enables high-frequency operation (>300 kHz) without excessive gate drive power or thermal penalty |
| Avalanche energy rated (EAS = 691 mJ) | Permits reliable operation in inductive load switching without external snubbers or overdesign |
| 70 V/ns dV/dt immunity | Prevents false turn-on in high-speed half-bridge configurations with fast-rising VDS |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW20N65M5 | 650 V, 20 A, RDS(on) = 0.19 Ω, Qg = 62 nC, trr = 220 ns, TO-247 package | Higher RDS(on) and slower diode; suited for lower-frequency, higher-current hard-switching | Prefer SIHA24N65EF-GE3 for ZVS or high-frequency designs where diode speed and Qg dominate loss budget |
| IXFH24N65X2 | 650 V, 24 A, RDS(on) = 0.145 Ω, Qg = 92 nC, trr = 185 ns, TO-247 package | Higher Qg and trr; lacks EAS rating; larger footprint | Choose SIHA24N65EF-GE3 when board space, avalanche ruggedness, and diode recovery performance are critical |
Compared with STW20N65M5 and IXFH24N65X2, SIHA24N65EF-GE3 delivers superior high-frequency switching efficiency due to its lower Qrr, faster trr, and smaller TO-220 FULLPAK footprint-enabling compact, thermally efficient designs in telecom and solar systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHA24N65EF-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHA24N65EF-GE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 6 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This reflects thermal derating from its 10 A rating at 25 °C, based on a linear derating factor of 0.31 W/°C and RthJC = 3.2 °C/W. Designers must verify heatsink interface and ambient conditions to sustain this current in real-world SIHA24N65EF-GE3 implementations.
Does SIHA24N65EF-GE3 support gate drive with 5 V logic-level signals?
No, SIHA24N65EF-GE3 is not a logic-level MOSFET. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 2 V to 4 V, but RDS(on) is specified only at VGS = 10 V (0.156 Ω max). Driving SIHA24N65EF-GE3 with 5 V may result in incomplete turn-on and excessive conduction loss; a 10–15 V gate drive is required to achieve rated RDS(on) and optimal switching performance.
What is the significance of the "-GE3" suffix in SIHA24N65EF-GE3?
The "-GE3" suffix indicates that SIHA24N65EF-GE3 is lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free, compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and Vishay's green initiative. It denotes the same die and electrical specifications as SiHA24N65EF-E3 (Pb-free only), but with additional halogen-free packaging materials-critical for environmentally regulated industrial and telecom equipment requiring full material compliance documentation.
How does the body diode performance of SIHA24N65EF-GE3 compare to standard 650 V MOSFETs?
SIHA24N65EF-GE3 features an optimized fast body diode with trr = 151 ns (typ), Qrr = 0.9 μC (typ), and IRRM = 13 A-significantly improved over standard 650 V MOSFETs (typically trr > 250 ns, Qrr > 3 μC). This enables cleaner commutation in phase-shifted and resonant topologies, directly reducing switching loss and EMI generation in SIHA24N65EF-GE3-based power stages.
Can SIHA24N65EF-GE3 be used in avalanche mode for circuit protection?
Yes, SIHA24N65EF-GE3 is fully rated for unclamped inductive switching with EAS = 691 mJ (single-pulse, test condition: VDD = 50 V, L = 28.2 mH, IAS = 7 A). This avalanche energy rating allows controlled operation during transient overcurrent events without failure, provided junction temperature remains within -55 to +150 °C limits. Designers should validate thermal margin in repeated avalanche scenarios for SIHA24N65EF-GE3 deployments.
