Product details
Overview
SIHG22N60EL-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 21 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.171 Ω (typ. at VGS = 10 V), Qg = 37 nC (typ.), and avalanche-rated (EAS = 286 mJ). It delivers low conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency hard-switched PFC and SMPS stages in telecom and server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG22N60EL-GE3 datasheet, SIHG22N60EL-GE3 pinout, SIHG22N60EL-GE3 application, or SIHG22N60EL-GE3 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.55 °C/W), gate charge waveform details, body diode recovery characteristics (trr = 365 ns, Qrr = 5.8 μC), and validated alternative options for 600 V power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology optimized for high-voltage, medium-current applications. Its low Ciss (1690 pF typ.) and minimized Qgd/Qg ratio (15/37 nC) reduce Miller-induced turn-off delay and improve controllability under high dV/dt conditions (62 V/ns).
The integrated body diode supports synchronous rectification and unclamped inductive switching with rated ISD = 21 A continuous and trr = 365 ns at TJ = 25 °C. Thermal design is enabled by direct junction-to-case conduction via the TO-247AC drain tab (RthJC = 0.55 °C/W).

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW22NM60ND | RDS(on) = 0.22 Ω (higher), Qg = 45 nC (higher), TO-247 package, no specified EAS rating | Lower efficiency in high-frequency PFC; less robust under unclamped inductive switching | Prefer SIHG22N60EL-GE3 where avalanche ruggedness and lower gate charge are critical. |
| IXTH24N60L2 | RDS(on) = 0.18 Ω, Qg = 48 nC, enhanced body diode (trr = 220 ns), TO-247 package | Better diode performance but higher switching loss due to larger Qg; higher cost | Choose SIHG22N60EL-GE3 for balanced trade-off of conduction loss, switching loss, and ruggedness at lower BOM cost. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHG22N60EL-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHG22N60EL-GE3 supports 13 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating reflects real-world thermal constraints when mounted on a heatsink with adequate thermal interface and airflow, and must be used with derating curves for ambient temperature and duty cycle. The SIHG22N60EL-GE3 datasheet confirms this value under VGS = 10 V and TJ ≤ 150 °C.
Does SIHG22N60EL-GE3 have a qualified avalanche rating, and what is its value?
Yes, the SIHG22N60EL-GE3 is fully rated for single-pulse avalanche energy with EAS = 286 mJ, tested per JEDEC JESD24-1. This rating is measured at VDD = 50 V, starting TJ = 25 °C, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 4.5 A. The SIHG22N60EL-GE3 specification sheet explicitly lists this parameter in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section, confirming ruggedness for inductive load switching without external protection.
What is the typical reverse recovery time (trr) of the body diode in SIHG22N60EL-GE3?
The typical reverse recovery time (trr) of the integral body diode in SIHG22N60EL-GE3 is 365 ns, measured at TJ = 25 °C, IF = IS = 11 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs, and VR = 25 V. This value is documented in the "Drain-Source Body Diode Characteristics" section of the SIHG22N60EL-GE3 datasheet and directly impacts performance in synchronous rectification and half-bridge topologies.
Is SIHG22N60EL-GE3 lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free?
Yes, SIHG22N60EL-GE3 is lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free, as confirmed in the Ordering Information section of the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 91641). The "-GE3" suffix denotes compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709C, making it suitable for environmentally regulated industrial and telecom applications.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for SIHG22N60EL-GE3?
The maximum junction-to-case (drain) thermal resistance RthJC for SIHG22N60EL-GE3 is 0.55 °C/W, as stated in the Thermal Resistance Ratings table. This value applies to conduction through the TO-247AC drain tab and is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under power dissipation. The SIHG22N60EL-GE3 datasheet specifies this parameter with no "typical" value - only max - indicating guaranteed worst-case thermal performance.
