Product details
Overview
SIHG22N50D-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 500 V, 22 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.230 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 98 nC, and avalanche-rated (EAS = 139 mJ). It serves as a high-voltage switching element in offline SMPS, motor drives, and induction heating circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG22N50D-GE3 datasheet, SIHG22N50D-GE3 pinout, SIHG22N50D-GE3 application, or SIHG22N50D-GE3 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.4 °C/W), body diode recovery (trr = 384 ns), gate charge profile, and real-world use context for industrial power conversion design.
Technical Context
This device employs planar V-groove silicon technology optimized for high-voltage hard-switching applications. Its low Ciss (1938 pF) and minimized Qgd/Qg ratio (22/98) reduce Miller-induced turn-off delay and improve switching controllability under high dV/dt conditions up to 24 V/ns.
The integrated body diode is rated for continuous 22 A source-drain current and exhibits controlled reverse recovery (Qrr = 4.7 μC, IRRM = 23 A), enabling reliable operation in freewheeling and synchronous rectification roles without external diode supplementation in many 500 V-class topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 500 V - Supports 400 V DC bus designs with 25 % margin for line surges and ringing. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.230 Ω at VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 22 A, suitable for thermally constrained heatsinks. |
| Qg max | 98 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement; compatible with standard 1–2 A peak gate drivers. |
| EAS | 139 mJ - Confirmed single-pulse unclamped inductive switching capability without failure. |
| tr/tf | 42/40 ns - Fast edge rates support >100 kHz hard-switched converters with reduced switching loss. |
| RthJC | 0.4 °C/W - Allows direct mounting to heatsink; junction-to-case thermal path dominates system cooling. |
| ID continuous | 22 A at TC = 25 °C - Rated for full-load operation only when case temperature is actively maintained ≤25 °C. |
Pinout & Package
TO-247AC package with isolated drain tab, 3-pin configuration, and industry-standard mechanical footprint (D = 20.55 mm, E = 15.70 mm, L = 15.15 mm). Thermal pad on drain enables low-impedance heat transfer to heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Accepts 10 V logic-level drive; ±30 V absolute max rating protects against transient overvoltage. |
| 2 (Drain) | Main power output terminal | Connected to high-side switch node; electrically tied to metal tab for thermal and electrical grounding. |
| 3 (Source) | Power return and reference | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; carries full load current and body diode reverse recovery current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) × Qg FOM | 22.5 Ω·nC - Balances conduction and switching losses for optimal efficiency in 50–200 kHz SMPS. |
| Avalanche energy rating | 139 mJ - Eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching where voltage overshoot occurs. |
| High body diode ruggedness | Rated ISM = 88 A pulsed - Withstands high di/dt commutation stress during motor phase reversal or welder duty cycles. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP22NM50N | 500 V, 22 A, RDS(on) = 0.22 Ω, Qg = 72 nC, TO-220FP package | Lower Qg but higher RthJA (62 °C/W); unsuitable for >100 W continuous conduction without forced air | Prefer for space-constrained, lower-power (<150 W), cost-sensitive designs where thermal mass is limited. |
| IXFH22N50P | 500 V, 22 A, RDS(on) = 0.24 Ω, Qg = 85 nC, TO-247 package, no halogen-free option | Similar thermal performance (RthJC = 0.45 °C/W) but lacks GE3 halogen-free compliance | Acceptable where RoHS exemption applies or halogen content is not regulated in end equipment. |
Compared with STP22NM50N and IXFH22N50P, SIHG22N50D-GE3 offers superior avalanche ruggedness (139 mJ vs. 95 mJ and 110 mJ), tighter Qgd/Qg ratio for improved hard-switching control, and certified halogen-free construction-making it preferred for industrial-grade, long-lifetime, high-reliability 500 V power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHG22N50D-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHG22N50D-GE3 supports 14 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, per its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-247AC package and must be validated against actual heatsink performance and ambient conditions in the final layout. The SIHG22N50D-GE3 datasheet specifies linear derating beyond 100 °C using the 2.5 W/°C factor.
Does SIHG22N50D-GE3 have a fully rated body diode for bidirectional current flow?
Yes, the SIHG22N50D-GE3 integrates a rugged body diode rated for 22 A continuous source-drain current (IS) and 88 A pulsed (ISM). Its reverse recovery time (trr = 384 ns) and charge (Qrr = 4.7 μC) are fully characterized, enabling use in freewheeling, synchronous rectification, and half-bridge topologies without external diode supplementation-provided dI/dt and voltage slew rate remain within datasheet limits.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHG22N50D-GE3, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
The SIHG22N50D-GE3 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 3–5 V at TJ = 25 °C. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drive while avoiding unintended conduction from noise or leakage. Designers must maintain ≥6 V gate drive margin above VGS(th) max to guarantee full enhancement; the SIHG22N50D-GE3 is not a logic-level device and requires dedicated gate driver circuitry.
How does the avalanche energy rating of SIHG22N50D-GE3 impact system reliability in inductive switching applications?
The SIHG22N50D-GE3 is rated for 139 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS), verified per JEDEC JESD24-1. This allows the device to safely absorb inductive energy during overvoltage events-such as transformer leakage spikes or motor back-EMF-without catastrophic failure. System designers can eliminate or simplify snubber networks in flyback, forward, and resonant converters, improving efficiency and reducing component count while maintaining reliability in SIHG22N50D-GE3-based power stages.
Is SIHG22N50D-GE3 compliant with lead-free and halogen-free manufacturing standards?
Yes, the "-GE3" suffix explicitly denotes lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free construction per Vishay's material compliance standards. SIHG22N50D-GE3 meets JEDEC JS709B and IPC-1752A requirements, with bromine and chlorine content below 900 ppm each. This makes the SIHG22N50D-GE3 suitable for automotive, industrial, and consumer applications subject to strict environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and China RoHS II.
