Product details
Overview
SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 40 A N-channel Power MOSFET in Super-247 (TO-274AA) package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.110 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 330 nC, and enhanced avalanche ruggedness. It serves as a hard-switching primary or PFC switch in high-efficiency SMPS and UPS systems operating up to 150 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 datasheet, SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 pinout, SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 application, or SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V blocking capability, low gate charge for simplified gate drive, robust dV/dt immunity (7.5 V/ns), and validated unclamped inductive switching performance up to 600 mJ.
Technical Context
This device uses planar high-voltage silicon technology optimized for fast, reliable hard switching in offline power converters. Its fully characterized Ciss (7970 pF), Coss (750 pF), and Crss (75 pF) enable accurate snubber and EMI design, while the body diode supports synchronous rectification with trr = 630–1090 ns across -55 to +125 °C.
The MOSFET delivers stable RDS(on) over temperature (0.63 V/°C VDS tempco) and supports repetitive avalanche operation at IAR = 40 A, with thermal resistance RthJC = 0.22 °C/W enabling high-power dissipation in compact heatsinked layouts.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDS | 600 V - Enables direct use in 400 V DC bus applications with 50 % safety margin against transients. |
| RDS(on) | 0.110 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Delivers ≤ 12.7 W conduction loss at 38 A, critical for high-efficiency PFC stages. |
| Qg | 330 nC - Requires ≥ 1.5 A peak gate drive for <100 ns switching transitions with 4.3 Ω gate resistor. |
| EAS | 600 mJ - Supports single-pulse unclamped inductive energy handling without failure in flyback or LLC resonant designs. |
| dV/dt rating | 7.5 V/ns - Ensures noise-immune operation during fast voltage transitions in high-frequency SMPS topologies. |
| tr/tf | 110 ns / 60 ns - Enables >100 kHz switching with controlled EMI and minimal overlap loss in bridge configurations. |
| TJ range | -55 to +150 °C - Qualified for industrial and telecom power supplies requiring extended thermal operating envelope. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW48N60M2 | 600 V, 48 A, RDS(on) = 0.085 Ω, Qg = 220 nC, TO-247 package | Lower RDS(on) but higher dV/dt sensitivity (5.0 V/ns); requires tighter gate layout control | Preferred when lower conduction loss dominates over gate drive simplicity and ruggedness. |
| IXFH40N60P | 600 V, 40 A, RDS(on) = 0.125 Ω, Qg = 290 nC, TO-247 package | Higher RDS(on), lower Qg, no specified EAS rating - limited avalanche capability | Selected where gate drive power is constrained and avalanche stress is not expected in final system. |
Compared with STW48N60M2 and IXFH40N60P, the SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 offers superior dV/dt immunity and documented 600 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - making it the preferred choice for unclamped inductive loads and noisy industrial environments where reliability under transient stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 supports 24 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the Super-247 package and ensures safe operation within the 150 °C maximum junction temperature. The SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 maintains RDS(on) stability across this range due to its positive VDS temperature coefficient.
Does SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 have a fully characterized body diode, and what are its key recovery parameters?
Yes, the SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 features a fully characterized intrinsic body diode with trr = 630–950 ns (TJ = 25 °C) and Qrr = 14–20 μC. These values are measured under standardized conditions (IF = 38 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs) and support design of snubbers and EMI filters. The SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 also specifies peak diode recovery dV/dt = 7.5 V/ns, confirming robust commutation behavior.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHFPS40N60K-GE3, and how does it vary with temperature?
The SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 has a gate-source threshold voltage VGS(th) of 3.0–5.0 V at TJ = 25 °C, with a typical value of ~4.0 V. As shown in Figure 12d, VGS(th) decreases linearly with rising junction temperature - approximately 4.5 V at -55 °C, 4.0 V at 25 °C, and 3.2 V at 150 °C - enabling predictable turn-on behavior across the full operating range of the SIHFPS40N60K-GE3.
Is SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 suitable for zero-voltage switching (ZVS) topologies, and which capacitance parameters support that use?
Yes, the SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 is suitable for ZVS applications due to its fully characterized Ciss = 7970 pF, Coss = 750 pF, and Crss = 75 pF at VDS = 25 V, plus Coss eff. = 260 pF over 0–480 V. These values allow accurate resonant tank design and predictability of turn-on timing. The SIHFPS40N60K-GE3's low Crss/Ciss ratio further minimizes voltage-dependent gate drive coupling during ZVS transitions.
What thermal resistance values are specified for SIHFPS40N60K-GE3, and how do they impact heatsink design?
The SIHFPS40N60K-GE3 specifies RthJC = 0.22 °C/W (max) from junction to case and RthCS = 0.24 °C/W (typ) from case to heatsink on a greased flat surface. With a maximum PD = 570 W at TC = 25 °C, these values indicate that a 0.5 °C/W heatsink can sustain ~300 W at TC = 85 °C. The SIHFPS40N60K-GE3's low RthJC enables compact thermal solutions in space-constrained industrial power modules.
