Product details
Overview
SIHFS9N60A-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 9.2 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.75 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 49 nC, and 290 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - designed for high-voltage switching in offline SMPS main switch and active-clamped forward topologies.
For engineers reviewing the SIHFS9N60A-GE3 datasheet, SIHFS9N60A-GE3 pinout, SIHFS9N60A-GE3 application, or SIHFS9N60A-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V VDS, 0.75 Ω on-resistance at 10 V gate drive, 49 nC total gate charge, robust 5.0 V/ns peak diode recovery dV/dt rating, and D2PAK thermal performance with RthJC = 0.75 °C/W.
Technical Context
This device employs planar stripe silicon technology optimized for high-voltage power switching, with fully characterized avalanche capability and dynamic dV/dt ruggedness validated per unclamped inductive test conditions (L = 6.8 mH, IAS = 9.2 A). Its gate threshold voltage range (2.0–4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on under industrial supply variations.
The MOSFET integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 530–800 ns, Qrr = 3.0–4.4 μC) and exhibits low Coss eff. = 96 pF across 0–480 V, supporting efficient hard-switching operation in 50–100 kHz SMPS designs while maintaining stable SOA up to TC = 100 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 600 V - supports 400 V AC mains-derived DC bus with ≥50 % safety margin in offline converters |
| RDS(on) max | 0.75 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - enables ≤43 W conduction loss at 9.2 A continuous drain current |
| Qg max | 49 nC - determines gate driver current requirement (~5 mA avg. for 100 kHz switching with 10 V swing) |
| EAS | 290 mJ - provides single-pulse avalanche robustness during transient overvoltage events without failure |
| tr/tf | 25 ns / 22 ns - supports fast switching transitions with reduced switching losses in hard-switched topologies |
| TJ range | −55 to +150 °C - ensures operation in industrial ambient environments with derated power above 25 °C case temperature |
| RthJC | 0.75 °C/W - allows 170 W dissipation at ΔT = 127.5 °C (150 °C − 22.5 °C), enabling high-power density heatsink design |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP9NK60ZFP | 600 V, 8.5 A, RDS(on) = 0.75 Ω, Qg = 42 nC, TO-220FP package | Lower thermal resistance to ambient but no exposed drain pad; requires insulated mounting in high-voltage isolation designs | Preferred where through-hole assembly and lower gate charge are prioritized over surface-mount thermal performance |
| IXFH9N60P | 600 V, 9 A, RDS(on) = 0.75 Ω, Qg = 52 nC, TO-247 package | Higher RthJC (0.85 °C/W) and larger footprint; rated for higher repetitive avalanche (IAR = 10 A) | Selected when mechanical robustness and higher surge current tolerance outweigh D2PAK's space and thermal advantages |
Compared with STP9NK60ZFP and IXFH9N60P, SIHFS9N60A-GE3 delivers superior thermal performance via D2PAK's low 0.75 °C/W junction-to-case resistance and optimized surface-mount layout, while matching RDS(on) and exceeding both alternatives in single-pulse avalanche energy (290 mJ vs. 220 mJ and 250 mJ).

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHFS9N60A-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHFS9N60A-GE3 supports 5.8 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the D2PAK package and ensures safe operation within the 150 °C maximum junction temperature. The full 9.2 A rating applies only at TC = 25 °C.
Does SIHFS9N60A-GE3 have a fully characterized body diode for synchronous rectification?
Yes, SIHFS9N60A-GE3 includes fully characterized body diode parameters: VSD = 1.5 V at IS = 9.2 A and TJ = 25 °C, trr = 530–800 ns, and Qrr = 3.0–4.4 μC. These values are measured under controlled conditions (dI/dt = 100 A/μs) and enable accurate loss modeling in freewheeling or synchronous rectifier configurations.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHFS9N60A-GE3, and how does it affect drive compatibility?
The SIHFS9N60A-GE3 has a gate threshold voltage range of 2.0–4.0 V at ID = 250 μA. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V gate drivers while avoiding unintended conduction from noise. The wide VGS(th) distribution supports robust operation across temperature and process variation without requiring precision biasing.
Can SIHFS9N60A-GE3 be used in avalanche mode, and what is its rated single-pulse energy?
Yes, SIHFS9N60A-GE3 is fully characterized for unclamped inductive switching with a rated single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 290 mJ at TJ = 25 °C, L = 6.8 mH, and IAS = 9.2 A. This capability allows safe operation during transient overcurrent events without external protection components in properly designed circuits.
What package type and thermal characteristics define the SIHFS9N60A-GE3 mechanical interface?
The SIHFS9N60A-GE3 uses the D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package with an exposed drain pad. Its thermal resistance is RthJC = 0.75 °C/W (max), enabling 170 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C. The package complies with JEDEC TO-263AB outlines and supports reflow soldering per Vishay's recommended profile.
