Product details
Overview
SIHG24N65E-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 650 V, 24 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.145 Ω (max) at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 122 nC (max), and avalanche-rated (EAS = 508 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 SIHG24N65E-GE3 datasheet, SIHG24N65E-GE3 pinout, SIHG24N65E-GE3 application, or SIHG24N65E-GE3 equivalent, this device is selected for high-voltage, medium-current switching where low gate charge, robust UIS capability, and thermal performance in TO-247AC are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology optimized for 650 V operation with controlled dV/dt (37 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C) and fast body diode recovery (trr = 433 ns, Qrr = 7.3 μC). Its gate threshold voltage (2–4 V) ensures stable turn-on under standard 10 V gate drive while maintaining noise immunity.
The device integrates a co-packaged, optimized intrinsic body diode with ISD = 24 A continuous rating and ISM = 70 A pulsed capability. Thermal resistance RthJC = 0.5 °C/W enables high-power dissipation up to 250 W at TC = 25 °C, supporting compact heatsink designs in industrial and renewable energy inverters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 650 V - Supports DC bus voltages up to 400 V nominal with ≥60 % margin for transient overvoltage in PFC and PV inverter applications. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.145 Ω at VGS = 10 V - Limits conduction loss to ≤17.4 W at 24 A, enabling thermally constrained layouts without forced air. |
| Qg max | 122 nC - Reduces gate driver power demand and switching transition time, critical for >100 kHz SMPS operation. |
| EAS | 508 mJ - Enables reliable unclamped inductive switching in motor drives and welding equipment without external snubbers. |
| trr | 433 ns - Minimizes diode reverse recovery loss and associated EMI in bridge-leg configurations with synchronous rectification. |
| RthJC | 0.5 °C/W - Allows direct mounting to heatsinks for sustained 250 W power dissipation at case temperature ≤25 °C. |
| ID cont | 24 A at TC = 25 °C - Sustains full rated current in high-density server PSU primary switches with adequate thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
TO-247AC package: isolated drain tab (pins 2 & 4), single-source lead (pin 3), and gate lead (pin 1); thermal pad on drain side for direct heatsink attachment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Accepts 10 V logic-level drive; input capacitance Ciss = 2740 pF requires robust gate driver with ≥2 A peak sourcing/sinking capability. |
| 2 & 4 (Drain) | High-side power output | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be insulated from heatsink unless system ground-referenced; supports 650 V blocking. |
| 3 (Source) | Power return / reference node | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; carries full load current and diode reverse recovery current during commutation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low FOM (RDS(on) × Qg) | ≤17.7 Ω·nC - Balances conduction and switching loss for optimal efficiency across 50–200 kHz operating range. |
| Avalanche energy rating | 508 mJ single-pulse - Eliminates need for external clamping circuits in inductive load switching (e.g., PFC boost chokes). |
| Ultra-low Qgd/Qg ratio | 30 % (37/122 nC) - Improves Miller immunity and reduces risk of false turn-on in high-dV/dt half-bridge environments. |
| Body diode softness factor | Qrr/IRRM = 0.26 μC/A - Limits voltage overshoot and ringing during diode commutation in LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge topologies. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW24N65M5 | RDS(on) = 0.135 Ω (lower), Qg = 110 nC (lower), but EAS = 390 mJ (23 % lower); TO-247 long leads. | Better efficiency in continuous conduction mode, but reduced ruggedness in inductive fault conditions. | Prefer SIHG24N65E-GE3 when unclamped inductive stress or high-temperature reliability dominates over marginal conduction loss. |
| IXFH24N65X2 | RDS(on) = 0.130 Ω, Qg = 92 nC (25 % lower), trr = 320 ns (26 % faster), but no specified EAS rating. | Superior switching speed and gate drive efficiency, but lacks documented avalanche capability for safety-critical designs. | Choose SIHG24N65E-GE3 where datasheet-verified UIS performance is required per IEC 62368-1 or UL 62368-1 system certification. |
Compared with STW24N65M5 and IXFH24N65X2, the SIHG24N65E-GE3 trades minor conduction loss for industry-leading avalanche ruggedness and consistent body diode behavior-making it preferred for mission-critical power conversion where fault tolerance and long-term reliability outweigh peak efficiency gains.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHG24N65E-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHG24N65E-GE3 supports 16 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating from 24 A at 25 °C reflects thermal constraints of the TO-247AC package and ensures safe operation within RthJC = 0.5 °C/W limits. Designers must verify heatsink interface resistance and ambient airflow to maintain TC ≤ 100 °C under full load.
Does SIHG24N65E-GE3 have a fully rated body diode for synchronous rectification?
Yes, the SIHG24N65E-GE3 features a fully characterized intrinsic body diode with IS = 24 A continuous and ISM = 70 A pulsed ratings, plus trr = 433 ns and Qrr = 7.3 μC at TJ = 25 °C. These parameters are measured and guaranteed-not typical values-and support use in freewheeling and synchronous rectification roles without external diodes in many 650 V topologies.
Is SIHG24N65E-GE3 suitable for use in zero-voltage switching (ZVS) circuits?
Yes, the SIHG24N65E-GE3 is well-suited for ZVS applications due to its low Qgd/Qg ratio (30 %), controlled Coss = 122 pF, and soft reverse recovery (Qrr/IRRM = 0.26 μC/A). These traits minimize voltage spike overshoot and enable reliable resonant turn-on in LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge converters operating up to 300 kHz.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHG24N65E-GE3, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
The SIHG24N65E-GE3 has a VGS(th) range of 2–4 V at TJ = 25 °C. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while providing sufficient margin against spurious turn-on from noise or Miller coupling. Drive circuits must supply ≥10 V to guarantee RDS(on) ≤ 0.145 Ω and avoid linear-mode operation under load.
How does the avalanche energy rating of SIHG24N65E-GE3 compare to similar 650 V MOSFETs?
The SIHG24N65E-GE3 specifies EAS = 508 mJ (single-pulse, test condition: L = 28.2 mH, IAS = 6 A), exceeding most competing 650 V devices by 20–40 %. For example, STW24N65M5 rates 390 mJ and IXFH24N65X2 omits EAS entirely. This makes SIHG24N65E-GE3 uniquely suited for designs requiring certified fault tolerance without external protection components.
