Product details
Overview
SIHFU9220-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in IPAK (TO-251) package, rated for -200 V drain-source voltage, 1.5 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, and -3.6 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It supports repetitive avalanche operation, fast switching, and through-hole mounting for high-voltage DC-DC converters and industrial motor controls.
For engineers reviewing the SIHFU9220-GE3 datasheet, SIHFU9220-GE3 pinout, SIHFU9220-GE3 application, or SIHFU9220-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -200 V blocking capability, 1.5 Ω on-resistance, -3.6 A thermal-limited current, avalanche energy rating of 4.2 mJ, and compatibility with standard through-hole PCB assembly processes.
Technical Context
This device uses Vishay's third-generation Power MOSFET technology to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining ruggedness against unclamped inductive switching. Its gate threshold voltage range (-2.0 V to -4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard -10 V gate drive and supports logic-level compatibility when paired with appropriate level-shifting circuits.
The SIHFU9220-GE3 integrates a robust body diode with 150–300 ns reverse recovery time and -6.3 V forward voltage at -3.6 A, enabling use in synchronous rectification and freewheeling paths. Thermal resistance from junction-to-case is 3.0 °C/W, supporting high-power dissipation in constrained through-hole layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -200 V - Supports high-side switching in 100–170 V DC bus systems without derating. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = -10 V | 1.5 Ω - Limits conduction loss to ≤ 19.4 W at -3.6 A, enabling thermally manageable operation on FR-4 PCBs. |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25 °C) | -3.6 A - Sustains full-rated load in heatsinked or forced-air-cooled through-hole designs. |
| EAR (repetitive avalanche) | 4.2 mJ - Enables reliable operation under inductive load switching transients up to 3.6 A without external snubbers. |
| Qg (total gate charge) | 20 nC - Requires ≤ 0.2 μC gate drive energy per switch cycle, compatible with standard MOSFET drivers (e.g., TC4420). |
| tr/tf | 27 ns / 19 ns - Supports >1 MHz switching in hard-switched topologies with minimal overlap loss. |
| RthJC | 3.0 °C/W - Allows direct thermal coupling to chassis or metal-core PCBs for efficient heat extraction. |
Pinout & Package
SIHFU9220-GE3 is housed in IPAK (TO-251) package - a through-hole variant with three leads and an exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The package features gull-wing leads optimized for wave soldering and mechanical stability in high-vibration environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Lead 1 (left) | Source (S) | Common return path for load current; connects to system ground or low-side reference in high-side configurations. |
| Lead 2 (center) | Gate (G) | High-impedance control input; requires < ±100 nA leakage budget and 20 nC total charge for full enhancement. |
| Lead 3 (right) | Drain (D) | Main power terminal tied to high-voltage rail; electrically and thermally connected to exposed copper pad on underside. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Withstands ≥106 unclamped inductive switching events at -3.6 A and -200 V without parameter shift. |
| P-channel enhancement mode | Enables high-side switching without bootstrap circuitry; simplifies gate drive in isolated DC-DC and battery disconnect applications. |
| Dynamic dV/dt rating | -5.0 V/ns immunity prevents false turn-on during fast-rising drain transients in noisy industrial environments. |
| Body diode with low Qrr | 0.97–2.0 μC reverse recovery charge minimizes commutation loss in flyback and active clamp topologies. |
| Lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free | Complies with RoHS 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709E; suitable for automotive and industrial end-equipment requiring green compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel high-voltage power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFU9220PbF | Same die, identical RDS(on), VDS, and Qg; differs only in marking and tape/reel packaging (no GE3 suffix). | No functional difference; validated for same through-hole mounting and thermal profiles. | Select IRFU9220PbF when legacy procurement channels or non-GE3 traceability requirements apply. |
| SiHFR9220-GE3 | DPAK (TO-252) surface-mount variant; identical electrical specs but 3.0 °C/W RthJC vs. 3.0 °C/W (same), yet lower RthJA (110 vs. 50 °C/W) due to PCB thermal spreading. | Requires rework of footprint and solder process; unsuitable for through-hole-only production lines. | Choose SiHFR9220-GE3 only when board space constraints mandate SMT and thermal management leverages large copper pour. |
Compared with SIHFU9220-GE3, IRFU9220PbF offers identical performance in through-hole systems with no layout change, while SiHFR9220-GE3 trades mechanical mounting flexibility for higher-density placement-making SIHFU9220-GE3 optimal for legacy or mixed-technology assemblies where leaded reliability and serviceability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHFU9220-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHFU9220-GE3 supports -2.3 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, derived from its linear derating factor of 0.33 W/°C and 42 W maximum power dissipation at 25 °C. This value reflects thermal limits under sustained conduction, not transient avalanche conditions. Designers must verify heatsinking to maintain TC ≤ 100 °C for full -2.3 A operation. The SIHFU9220-GE3 datasheet specifies this rating in Absolute Maximum Ratings Table.
Does SIHFU9220-GE3 require a negative gate drive voltage?
Yes, SIHFU9220-GE3 is a P-channel MOSFET and requires a gate voltage more negative than the source to turn on. Full enhancement occurs at VGS = -10 V, with threshold range from -2.0 V to -4.0 V. Driving the gate to 0 V (relative to system ground) turns the device off when source is biased above ground. The SIHFU9220-GE3 gate-source leakage remains ≤ ±100 nA at ±20 V, ensuring stable biasing with high-impedance driver networks.
Can SIHFU9220-GE3 be used in avalanche mode repeatedly?
Yes, SIHFU9220-GE3 is explicitly rated for repetitive avalanche operation with EAR = 4.2 mJ and IAR = -3.6 A under specified test conditions (VDD = -50 V, L = 35 mH, Rg = 25 Ω). This capability enables robustness in inductive load switching without external clamping. The SIHFU9220-GE3 datasheet confirms repetitive rating in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Figure 12c, with pulse width limited by junction temperature.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SIHFU9220-GE3 in typical PCB mount?
When mounted on a 1" square FR-4 PCB, SIHFU9220-GE3 exhibits RthJA = 50 °C/W. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions and defines the worst-case thermal path without heatsinking. For improved performance, the exposed drain pad should be connected to a large copper area. The SIHFU9220-GE3 Thermal Resistance Ratings table lists this value explicitly, distinguishing it from the 110 °C/W rating for free-air operation.
Is SIHFU9220-GE3 compatible with lead-free wave soldering processes?
Yes, SIHFU9220-GE3 is lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free, qualified for peak wave solder temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its IPAK (TO-251) package is designed for vapor phase, infrared, and wave soldering. The SIHFU9220-GE3 packaging documentation confirms compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709E, making it suitable for modern lead-free manufacturing lines.
