Overview
SIHA6N65E-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 650 V, 7 A N-channel power MOSFET in Thin-Lead TO-220 FULLPAK package, featuring 0.6 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 48 nC total gate charge, and 56 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy. It serves as a high-voltage switching element in PFC and SMPS primary-side power stages.
For engineers reviewing the SIHA6N65E-E3 datasheet, SIHA6N65E-E3 pinout, SIHA6N65E-E3 application, or SIHA6N65E-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low Qg × RDS(on) figure-of-merit, robust UIS rating, and thermal performance with RthJC = 4.0 °C/W for high-efficiency, high-reliability power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology optimized for hard-switched 650 V applications, with a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) of 2–4 V and specified dV/dt immunity of 37 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C. Its body diode exhibits trr = 118–474 ns and Qrr = 2.2 μC under standardized 100 A/μs recovery conditions.
The device is characterized for linear derating above 25 °C case temperature (0.63 W/°C), supports repetitive ID up to 5 A at TC = 100 °C, and maintains VDS breakdown ≥650 V across –55 to +150 °C junction range with positive temperature coefficient for current sharing in parallel configurations.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP6NK60ZFP | 600 V, 6 A, RDS(on) = 0.75 Ω, Qg = 32 nC, TO-220FP package | Lower voltage rating and higher RDS(on); lower gate charge but reduced avalanche capability (EAS = 25 mJ) | Acceptable for 230 V AC-input SMPS where 600 V margin suffices and lower Qg prioritizes switching efficiency over ruggedness |
| IXTH6N65X2 | 650 V, 6.2 A, RDS(on) = 0.65 Ω, Qg = 29 nC, TO-247 package | Higher package thermal resistance (RthJC = 1.2 °C/W), larger footprint, no integrated avalanche rating | Better for ultra-high-frequency designs needing minimal Qg, but requires larger heatsink and lacks UIS certification for industrial fault tolerance |
Compared with STP6NK60ZFP and IXTH6N65X2, SIHA6N65E-E3 delivers superior avalanche ruggedness and thermal efficiency in compact TO-220 FULLPAK, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability 650 V PFC and SMPS where both conduction loss and fault survival are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHA6N65E-E3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHA6N65E-E3 supports a continuous drain current of 5 A 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 ensures safe operation within its 31 W maximum power dissipation envelope when properly heatsinked.
Does SIHA6N65E-E3 have a fully rated avalanche capability, and how is it tested?
Yes, SIHA6N65E-E3 is fully rated for single-pulse unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with EAS = 56 mJ. Testing follows standard JEDEC conditions: VDD = 50 V, starting TJ = 25 °C, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 2 A. This rating is validated per Vishay's qualification standards and documented in datasheet revision C.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for SIHA6N65E-E3, and why does it matter in circuit design?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SIHA6N65E-E3 is 2–4 V at TJ = 25 °C. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while preventing accidental activation from noise or leakage. Designers must maintain VGS > 4 V to guarantee full enhancement and avoid linear-mode operation that increases power dissipation.
Can SIHA6N65E-E3 be used in place of a logic-level MOSFET in 5 V gate drive applications?
No, SIHA6N65E-E3 is not a logic-level MOSFET. Its VGS(th) minimum is 2 V, but RDS(on) is only guaranteed at VGS = 10 V. At 5 V gate drive, the device operates in weak inversion with significantly elevated RDS(on) (>2 Ω), leading to excessive conduction loss and thermal runaway. A dedicated logic-level part like SiHF6N60E is required for 5 V drive.
What is the reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of the body diode in SIHA6N65E-E3, and how does it affect hard-switched topologies?
The body diode Qrr of SIHA6N65E-E3 is 2.2 μC under standard test conditions (TJ = 25 °C, IF = 3 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs, VR = 25 V). In hard-switched converters, this value directly contributes to switching loss and EMI during commutation; designers must account for it in snubber sizing and layout to minimize voltage overshoot and oscillation during diode turn-off.
