Product details
Overview
SIHB6N65E-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 650 V, 7 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.6 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 48 nC, and avalanche-rated EAS = 56 mJ. It delivers low conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency SMPS and PFC stages in telecom and server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SIHB6N65E-GE3 datasheet, SIHB6N65E-GE3 pinout, SIHB6N65E-GE3 application, or SIHB6N65E-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 650 V VDS, 0.6 Ω RDS(on), 48 nC total gate charge, 1.6 °C/W RthJC, and UIS-rated ruggedness - critical for hard-switched industrial and renewable energy inverters.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar high-voltage silicon technology optimized for fast switching with controlled dV/dt (37 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C) and low Ciss (820 pF). Its body diode exhibits trr = 237 ns and Qrr = 2.2 μC at IF = 3 A, supporting quasi-resonant and ZVS topologies.
The device operates across -55 to +150 °C junction temperature range, with VGS(th) = 2–4 V and ΔVDS/TJ = 0.73 V/°C, enabling stable gate drive design under thermal stress. Its 78 W PD rating at TC = 25 °C supports high-power density layouts when mounted on thermally optimized PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 650 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 520 V in PFC and 400 V in LLC resonant converters without derating. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.6 Ω at VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 3 A continuous drain current in 100 kHz SMPS designs. |
| Qg | 48 nC - Reduces gate driver power demand and enables use of low-cost 1-A peak drivers in isolated flyback controllers. |
| EAS | 56 mJ - Supports unclamped inductive switching in motor drives and welding inverters without external snubbers. |
| RthJC | 1.6 °C/W - Allows direct heatsink mounting for thermal management in compact 1U server PSUs with ≤ 70 °C case temperature rise. |
| Ciss | 820 pF - Minimizes Miller-induced shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations operating above 200 kHz. |
| tr/tf | 12–24 ns / 20–40 ns - Enables clean edge control in high-frequency synchronous rectification and digital PWM systems. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. Standard 3-pin configuration: Gate (G), Drain (D), Source (S). Drain tab is electrically connected to the internal MOSFET drain and serves as primary heat path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate control input | Accepts 0–10 V logic-level drive; requires ≥10 V for full RDS(on) specification; gate leakage ≤100 nA at ±20 V. |
| D | Drain terminal / thermal pad | High-side switch node connection; electrically tied to exposed copper tab; must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal performance. |
| S | Source reference / return path | Common source node for gate drive return and current sensing; connects to low-side shunt or controller ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low FOM (RDS(on) × Qg) | 28.8 Ω·nC - Balances switching speed and conduction loss for optimal efficiency in 65–300 kHz PFC boost stages. |
| Avalanche energy rated (UIS) | 56 mJ single-pulse - Eliminates need for external clamping in inductive load switching and fault-tolerant solar MPPT circuits. |
| Ultra-low Qgd/Qg ratio | 11/48 ≈ 23 % - Reduces Miller plateau duration, improving controllability during hard switching and minimizing cross-conduction risk. |
| Body diode trr & Qrr | 237 ns / 2.2 μC - Enables reliable freewheeling in bridge-leg configurations without requiring external Schottky catch diodes. |
| High dV/dt immunity | 37 V/ns at 125 °C - Maintains gate integrity during fast voltage transients in high-noise industrial motor drive environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP6NK60ZFP | 600 V VDS, 0.75 Ω RDS(on), 35 nC Qg, TO-220FP package | Lower voltage rating and higher RDS(on); limited to ≤400 V DC-link applications | Preferred where lower gate charge reduces driver complexity but 650 V margin is not required. |
| IXTH6N65X2 | 650 V VDS, 0.55 Ω RDS(on), 32 nC Qg, TO-247 package | Lower RDS(on) and Qg, but larger TO-247 footprint and higher cost | Selected when maximum efficiency is prioritized over board space and cost in high-volume industrial inverters. |
Compared with STP6NK60ZFP and IXTH6N65X2, SIHB6N65E-GE3 offers balanced trade-offs: sufficient 650 V rating for universal input PFC, D2PAK thermal performance superior to TO-220FP, and lower system cost than TO-247 alternatives - ideal for space-constrained, high-reliability telecom and server power modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHB6N65E-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHB6N65E-GE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 5 A at TC = 100 °C, per its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This reflects thermal derating from the 7 A rating at TC = 25 °C, based on its 0.63 W/°C linear derating factor. Designers must verify PCB copper area and heatsinking to sustain this current in real-world thermal environments.
Does SIHB6N65E-GE3 support logic-level gate drive?
No, SIHB6N65E-GE3 is not a logic-level MOSFET. Its gate threshold voltage VGS(th) is specified from 2 V to 4 V, but full enhancement requires VGS = 10 V to achieve the rated RDS(on) of 0.6 Ω. Driving SIHB6N65E-GE3 with only 5 V may result in significantly higher on-resistance and excessive conduction loss - a dedicated 10 V gate driver is recommended.
What is the significance of the "-GE3" suffix in SIHB6N65E-GE3?
The "-GE3" suffix indicates that SIHB6N65E-GE3 is a lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free version in tape-and-reel packaging, compliant with Vishay's green initiative and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. It uses matte tin plating and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60 % RH.
Can SIHB6N65E-GE3 be used in avalanche mode repeatedly?
SIHB6N65E-GE3 is rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 56 mJ, but repetitive avalanche operation is not characterized or guaranteed. The datasheet specifies only "repetitive rating" for continuous parameters like ID and PD. For circuits subject to frequent inductive turn-off stress, designers should implement external clamping or select devices explicitly rated for repetitive UIS.
How does the body diode performance of SIHB6N65E-GE3 compare to discrete ultrafast diodes?
The SIHB6N65E-GE3 body diode has trr = 237 ns and Qrr = 2.2 μC at IF = 3 A, making it suitable for moderate-frequency freewheeling but not a replacement for dedicated ultrafast diodes (typically <50 ns trr). Its VSD = 1.3 V at 3 A is higher than Schottky diodes, so synchronous rectification or external diode co-location is advised in high-efficiency designs.
