Product details
Overview
SIHB125N60EF-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 25 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.109 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 31 nC (typ), and fast body diode with trr = 117 ns - optimized for high-efficiency PFC and SMPS stages in telecom and server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SIHB125N60EF-GE3 datasheet, SIHB125N60EF-GE3 pinout, SIHB125N60EF-GE3 application, or SIHB125N60EF-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche-rated UIS capability (88 mJ), low Co(er) = 54 pF for reduced switching loss, and validated fast-recovery body diode performance under di/dt = 100 A/μs conditions.
Technical Context
This EF-series MOSFET employs Vishay's 4th-generation E-series silicon technology, delivering low figure-of-merit (RDS(on) × Qg = 3.39 Ω·nC) and reduced effective output capacitance (Co(er) = 54 pF) to minimize both conduction and hard-switching losses. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 3.0–5.0 V) ensures robust noise immunity in high-noise power-conversion environments.
The device integrates an avalanche-energy-rated body diode (EAS = 88 mJ) and supports dv/dt ruggedness up to 70 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C. Thermal resistance RthJC = 0.7 °C/W enables high-power operation with minimal heatsink requirements in compact industrial and solar inverter designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with ≥50 % safety margin for transient overvoltage in PFC and inverter stages. |
| RDS(on) typ @ 10 V | 0.109 Ω - enables ≤1.6 W conduction loss at 12 A continuous drain current, critical for thermal management in sealed enclosures. |
| Qg max | 47 nC - determines gate drive power requirement; low value reduces driver IC stress and improves efficiency in 100–300 kHz SMPS. |
| trr typ | 117 ns - fast body diode recovery minimizes commutation loss and ringing in synchronous rectification and bidirectional topologies. |
| EAS | 88 mJ - rated single-pulse avalanche energy allows safe operation during inductive turn-off faults without external snubbers. |
| RthJC | 0.7 °C/W - enables >150 W dissipation with modest heatsinking, supporting high-density 1U server PSU designs. |
| ID cont @ TC = 100 °C | 16 A - defines real-world current capability under typical PCB-mounted thermal conditions, not just ideal heatsink specs. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with isolated thermal pad (drain-connected), 3-pin configuration, and JEDEC-compliant outline per document 91364. Package dimensions: 10.67 mm × 9.65 mm × 4.83 mm (max), with 2.54 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate | Control terminal; requires 10 V drive for full enhancement; input capacitance Ciss = 1533 pF affects gate driver sizing. |
| D | Drain | Main high-side power terminal; electrically connected to thermal pad; must be routed with low-inductance layout for dv/dt stability. |
| S | Source | Power return and reference node for gate drive; ties to PCB ground plane; source inductance directly impacts switching speed and ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast body diode | trr = 117 ns and Qrr = 0.7 μC enable zero-voltage switching (ZVS) in LLC resonant converters without external diodes. |
| Low RDS(on) × Qg | 3.39 Ω·nC - balances switching and conduction loss for optimal efficiency across 100–500 kHz operating range. |
| Avalanche-rated | EAS = 88 mJ - eliminates need for external clamping circuits in flyback and forward converter primary switches. |
| High dv/dt ruggedness | 70 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C - prevents false turn-on in high-speed half-bridge configurations with steep voltage transients. |
| Lead (Pb)-free & halogen-free | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and Vishay's material categorization standard (doc. 99912). |
Applications
| Server Power Supplies | Telecom Rectifiers |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching, high-voltage MOSFET managing variable PV array voltage with tight thermal constraints. Use Value: Co(er) = 54 pF lowers switching energy loss during partial-load MPPT sweeps, improving weighted efficiency (EU, CEC standards). |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW62N60M2 | RDS(on) = 0.115 Ω, Qg = 52 nC, trr = 160 ns, TO-247 package | Higher gate charge increases driver loss; slower diode limits ZVS range in resonant converters. | Preferred where higher surge current rating (IDM = 120 A) outweighs efficiency trade-offs in industrial UPS. |
| IXFH32N60P | RDS(on) = 0.135 Ω, Qg = 58 nC, no avalanche rating, TO-247 package | Lacks UIS rating; requires external clamping; higher conduction loss reduces thermal headroom. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical SMPS where board space permits larger heatsink and layout accommodates snubbers. |
Compared with STW62N60M2 and IXFH32N60P, SIHB125N60EF-GE3 delivers superior switching efficiency due to lower Qg and faster body diode, while its integrated avalanche rating and D2PAK footprint simplify thermal design and reduce BOM count in space-constrained telecom and server platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHB125N60EF-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHB125N60EF-GE3 supports 16 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects real-world thermal performance on a standard 2 oz copper PCB with 1 in² thermal pad area, and must be derated linearly above 100 °C using the 1.4 W/°C derating factor. The SIHB125N60EF-GE3 datasheet confirms this rating applies under VGS = 10 V and ambient airflow conditions typical of enclosed power supplies.
Does SIHB125N60EF-GE3 have avalanche capability, and how is it rated?
Yes, SIHB125N60EF-GE3 is fully rated for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with EAS = 88 mJ at TJ = 25 °C, tested per condition: VDD = 120 V, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, IAS = 2.5 A. This avalanche rating is built into the silicon process and validated per JEDEC JESD24-11, allowing the SIHB125N60EF-GE3 to safely absorb inductive energy without external protection in PFC and flyback topologies.
What is the body diode forward voltage of SIHB125N60EF-GE3, and under what conditions is it measured?
The body diode forward voltage (VSD) of SIHB125N60EF-GE3 is 1.2 V maximum at TJ = 25 °C, IS = 12 A, and VGS = 0 V. This parameter is critical for evaluating conduction loss during freewheeling intervals in half-bridge and synchronous rectifier configurations. The SIHB125N60EF-GE3 datasheet specifies that VSD increases to ~1.5 V at TJ = 150 °C, confirming stable diode behavior across full operating temperature range.
Is SIHB125N60EF-GE3 compatible with standard D2PAK footprints and reflow profiles?
Yes, SIHB125N60EF-GE3 uses the JEDEC-standard TO-263AB (D2PAK) outline with documented pad dimensions (document 73397), and is qualified for lead-free reflow per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. Peak solder temperature is rated at 260 °C for 10 s, matching industry-standard Pb-free assembly processes. The SIHB125N60EF-GE3 thermal pad is drain-connected and requires appropriate stencil design and solder paste volume to ensure mechanical integrity and thermal performance.
How does the effective output capacitance (Co(er)) of SIHB125N60EF-GE3 impact switching loss?
The SIHB125N60EF-GE3 features Co(er) = 54 pF - an energy-related effective capacitance derived from Coss integral over 0–480 V - which directly determines turn-off switching energy loss (Eoff ≈ ½ × Co(er) × VDS²). At 480 V bus voltage, this yields ~6.2 μJ per switching cycle, significantly lower than conventional 600 V MOSFETs (typically >10 μJ). This reduction in SIHB125N60EF-GE3's Co(er) enables higher frequency operation without proportional efficiency penalty.
