Product details
Overview
SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 650 V, 7 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in DPAK (TO-252) package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.6 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 48 nC, and avalanche-rated (EAS = 56 mJ). It serves as a high-voltage switching element in offline SMPS and PFC stages for telecom and server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 datasheet, SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 pinout, SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 application, or SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 equivalent, this device is evaluated for high-efficiency, medium-power hard-switched topologies where low gate charge and robust UIS performance are critical to reliability under transient overloads.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology optimized for fast switching with minimized Ciss (820 pF) and ultra-low Qgd/Qg ratio (11/48 nC), reducing Miller-induced turn-off delay and improving controllability in high-dV/dt environments. Its 1.6 °C/W RthJC enables high-power dissipation in compact DPAK layouts without forced airflow.
The device integrates a robust body diode with trr = 237 ns and Qrr = 2.2 μC at 25 °C, supporting moderate-frequency synchronous rectification or freewheeling in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) PFC. VGS(th) of 2–4 V ensures stable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while avoiding spurious conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 650 V - supports 400 V AC input rectified to ~560 V DC bus with margin for surge and ringing |
| RDS(on) max @ 10 V | 0.6 Ω - delivers ≤ 5.4 W conduction loss at 3 A continuous drain current |
| Qg max | 48 nC - enables efficient drive with <1 W gate driver power at 100 kHz switching |
| EAS | 56 mJ - withstands unclamped inductive energy during startup or fault without failure |
| Ciss | 820 pF - reduces capacitive loading on gate driver and improves dV/dt immunity |
| tr/tf | 12–24 ns / 20–40 ns - supports >200 kHz hard-switched operation with controlled EMI |
| ID continuous @ TC = 100 °C | 5 A - defines thermal-limited output capability in typical heatsink-mounted DPAK layout |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252) package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection; 3-terminal surface-mount configuration optimized for PCB heat spreading and low-inductance source return paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main high-side current path | Connected to exposed copper pad - must be soldered to ≥ 2 cm² thermal pad for RthJC = 1.6 °C/W performance |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode | High-impedance input requiring <100 nA leakage; sensitive to ESD - requires gate resistor (9.1 Ω typical) and clamping |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-inductance return path essential; recommended to tie directly to power ground plane beneath device |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low FOM (RDS(on) × Qg) | 0.6 Ω × 48 nC = 28.8 Ω·nC - balances conduction and switching losses better than legacy 650 V MOSFETs |
| Avalanche energy rating (UIS) | 56 mJ single-pulse - eliminates need for external snubbers in PFC boost inductor fault conditions |
| Body diode Qrr | 2.2 μC - limits reverse recovery loss and cross-conduction risk in quasi-resonant converters |
| Lead (Pb)-free & Halogen-free | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile for lead-free assembly |
| dV/dt ruggedness | 37 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C - suppresses false turn-on in high-noise bridge-leg configurations |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP6NK60ZFP | 600 V VDS, RDS(on) = 0.75 Ω, Qg = 32 nC, Zener-protected gate | Limited to ≤ 450 V DC bus; lower Qg but higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss above 2 A | Preferable where gate protection is prioritized over voltage margin and board space allows larger RDS(on)-driven heatsink |
| IXTH6N65X2 | 650 V VDS, RDS(on) = 0.55 Ω, Qg = 36 nC, TO-247 package | Higher thermal capacity (RthJC = 0.85 °C/W) but requires through-hole mounting and larger PCB area | Preferred for >10 A continuous designs where DPAK footprint is insufficient and TO-247 mechanical stability is needed |
Compared with STP6NK60ZFP and IXTH6N65X2, the SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 offers optimal trade-off between voltage margin, surface-mount compatibility, and balanced switching/conduction loss for 5–7 A medium-power SMPS - delivering 12% lower total loss than STP6NK60ZFP at 100 kHz and 30% smaller footprint than IXTH6N65X2.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 supports 5 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal limitation under real-world heatsink conditions and must be validated with actual board layout and airflow. The SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 achieves this with its 1.6 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and DPAK package's exposed drain pad.
Does SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 have avalanche energy rating, and how is it tested?
Yes, the SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 is rated for 56 mJ single-pulse unclamped inductive switching (UIS) energy, tested per JEDEC standard with L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, IAS = 2 A, and starting TJ = 25 °C. This rating ensures reliable operation during transient overloads in PFC and SMPS circuits without requiring external clamping components. The SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 data sheet confirms this in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHD6N65ET5-GE3, and why does it matter?
The SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2–4 V at ID = 250 μA, ensuring predictable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while preventing accidental conduction from noise. This range allows robust operation across temperature and process variation. For reliable switching, the SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 should be driven with ≥ 10 V to achieve its specified RDS(on) of 0.6 Ω.
Can SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 replace older 600 V MOSFETs in existing designs?
The SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 is not a direct drop-in replacement for 600 V devices due to its higher 650 V VDS rating and different RDS(on)/Qg balance - but it can upgrade reliability in 400 V AC-input designs by adding voltage margin and improving UIS robustness. Layout changes may be needed if thermal or gate drive requirements differ. Always verify SOA, avalanche behavior, and body diode performance before substituting the SIHD6N65ET5-GE3.
What is the recommended PCB pad layout for SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 in DPAK package?
Vishay recommends minimum copper pads per Application Note 826: 0.224" × 0.420" (5.69 mm × 10.67 mm) for the drain pad, with thermal vias to inner ground planes. The SIHD6N65ET5-GE3 DPAK footprint requires precise alignment to match TO-252AA mechanical dimensions (Document 71197), especially for versions with facility code Y or N. Proper pad design ensures RthJC ≤ 1.6 °C/W and avoids solder joint fatigue under thermal cycling.
