Product details
Overview
SIHG039N60EF-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 61 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring 36 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 126 nC total gate charge, and fast body diode with 169 ns typical reverse recovery time. It delivers low conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency hard-switched PFC and SMPS stages in telecom rectifiers and solar inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG039N60EF-GE3 datasheet, SIHG039N60EF-GE3 pinout, SIHG039N60EF-GE3 application, or SIHG039N60EF-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V blocking rating, avalanche-rated 508 mJ UIS capability, low Co(er) of 139 pF, and validated performance in 100 kHz–300 kHz PFC boost converters requiring robust body diode commutation.
Technical Context
This EF-series MOSFET employs Vishay's 4th-generation E-series silicon technology optimized for high-voltage power conversion. Its low figure-of-merit (RDS(on) × Qg = 4.54 Ω·nC) enables reduced switching losses while maintaining low conduction loss at 61 A continuous drain current.
The integrated fast-recovery body diode supports high-di/dt operation (160 A/μs) with controlled reverse recovery charge (1.3–2.7 μC) and peak reverse recovery current (14.4 A), making it suitable for discontinuous-conduction-mode (DCM) and critical-conduction-mode (CrCM) topologies where diode softness impacts EMI and reliability.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW62N60M2 | 600 V, 62 A, RDS(on) = 0.035 Ω, Qg = 110 nC, TO-247 long leads | Lower Qg improves switching speed but lacks avalanche rating (no EAS spec) | Preferred for high-frequency ZVS designs where avalanche stress is absent; not recommended for PFC with line surges |
| IXFH60N60X | 600 V, 60 A, RDS(on) = 0.038 Ω, Qg = 135 nC, TO-247 short leads | Higher Qg increases gate drive loss; includes ultra-fast body diode (trr = 120 ns) | Better suited for resonant LLC where diode softness dominates; less efficient than SIHG039N60EF-GE3 in hard-switched PFC |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHG039N60EF-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHG039N60EF-GE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 39 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derated value reflects thermal limitations when mounted on a heatsink with limited cooling capacity, and must be used for thermal design validation in enclosed industrial environments.
Does SIHG039N60EF-GE3 have a qualified avalanche energy rating, and what is its value?
Yes, SIHG039N60EF-GE3 is fully rated for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with a single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 508 mJ, tested under standardized conditions (VDD = 120 V, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, IAS = 6.0 A). This rating confirms robustness against inductive turn-off transients without external clamping.
What is the typical reverse recovery time (trr) of the body diode in SIHG039N60EF-GE3, and under what conditions is it measured?
The typical reverse recovery time (trr) of the SIHG039N60EF-GE3 body diode is 169 ns, measured at TJ = 25 °C with IF = IS = 32 A, di/dt = 100 A/μs, and VR = 400 V. This parameter is critical for minimizing voltage overshoot in CrCM PFC and resonant lighting ballasts.
Is SIHG039N60EF-GE3 lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free, and which compliance standards does it meet?
Yes, SIHG039N60EF-GE3 is lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free per Vishay's material categorization standard, compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 reflow profile. Full compliance documentation is available under Vishay document #99912.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range (VGS(th)) for SIHG039N60EF-GE3, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SIHG039N60EF-GE3 ranges from 3.0 V to 5.0 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This wide range necessitates gate drive voltages ≥10 V to ensure full enhancement and consistent RDS(on) performance across temperature and unit variation.
