Product details
Overview
SIHG30N60E-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 29 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.125 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 130 nC max, and avalanche-rated (EAS = 690 mJ). It delivers low conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency PFC and SMPS stages in telecom and server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG30N60E-E3 datasheet, SIHG30N60E-E3 pinout, SIHG30N60E-E3 application, or SIHG30N60E-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V VDS, 0.125 Ω RDS(on), 130 nC gate charge, TO-247AC thermal performance (RthJC = 0.5 °C/W), and UIS ruggedness - all critical for hard-switched industrial and renewable energy inverters.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology optimized for high-voltage switching with low gate charge and reduced Ciss (2600 pF typ). Its body diode exhibits trr = 402–605 ns and Qrr = 7–15 μC, enabling moderate-frequency hard-switching without excessive diode loss.
The device operates with VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V and gfs = 5.4 S typ, supporting standard 10 V gate drive. Its SOA is defined up to 100 μs pulse width at TC = 25 °C, with linear derating beyond 250 W at 2 W/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 50 % safety margin for transient overvoltage in PFC and solar inverters |
| RDS(on) max | 0.125 Ω at VGS = 10 V - enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 15 A continuous drain current |
| Qg max | 130 nC - reduces gate drive power requirement and enables >100 kHz operation with moderate Rg |
| EAS | 690 mJ - ensures single-pulse unclamped inductive switching survivability in motor drives and welders |
| RthJC | 0.5 °C/W - allows 250 W dissipation with ≤125 °C junction rise above 25 °C case temperature |
| trr | 402–605 ns - limits reverse recovery loss during commutation in bridge-leg configurations |
| ID cont @ TC = 100 °C | 18 A - defines usable current capability in thermally constrained heatsink environments |
Pinout & Package
SIHG30N60E-E3 uses the TO-247AC package: isolated tab (Drain), 3-pin through-hole outline with 5.51 mm lead pitch, 20.55 mm length, and 15.70 mm width. Thermal pad on backside provides low RthJC path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Accepts 10 V logic-level gate drive; input capacitance Ciss = 2600 pF requires careful layout to avoid oscillation |
| 2 (Drain) | Main high-side current path | Connected to heat sink via isolated tab; carries full load current and withstands 600 V transients |
| 3 (Source) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Serves as return path for ID and IS; must be low-inductance for stable switching and accurate RDS(on) measurement |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low FOM (RDS(on) × Qg) | 16.25 Ω·nC - balances conduction and switching loss for optimal efficiency in 50–200 kHz PFC stages |
| Avalanche energy rating | 690 mJ single-pulse - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching |
| Body diode Qrr | 7–15 μC - minimizes commutation loss in synchronous rectification and half-bridge topologies |
| High dV/dt immunity | 70 V/ns - suppresses false turn-on in high-noise motor drive and welding applications |
| Lead (Pb)-free & halogen-free | E3 suffix confirms RoHS-compliant termination and JEDEC-compliant reflow profile compatibility |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW30NM60ND | 600 V, 30 A, RDS(on) = 0.135 Ω, Qg = 110 nC, TO-247 long leads | Lower Qg but higher RDS(on); slightly lower EAS (620 mJ) | Preferred where gate drive loss dominates; verify thermal interface compatibility due to different lead form factor |
| IXFH30N60P | 600 V, 30 A, RDS(on) = 0.130 Ω, Qg = 125 nC, TO-247 non-isolated tab | Non-isolated Drain tab requires insulating washer; identical SOA and avalanche rating | Use when cost sensitivity outweighs isolation requirement; heatsink mounting must accommodate electrical isolation |
Compared with STW30NM60ND and IXFH30N60P, SIHG30N60E-E3 offers the lowest RDS(on) (0.125 Ω) and highest EAS (690 mJ), making it optimal for thermally demanding, high-reliability PFC and inverter applications where conduction loss and ruggedness are prioritized over minimal gate charge.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHG30N60E-E3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current for SIHG30N60E-E3 is 18 A when the case temperature (TC) is 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal derating from the 29 A rating at 25 °C and ensures safe operation within the device's SOA under sustained load conditions. SIHG30N60E-E3 must be mounted on an adequately sized heatsink to maintain TC ≤ 100 °C in production use.
Does SIHG30N60E-E3 have a fully rated avalanche capability?
Yes, SIHG30N60E-E3 is fully rated for single-pulse unclamped inductive switching with EAS = 690 mJ at TJ = 25 °C, per test condition VDD = 50 V, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 7 A. This rating is validated and guaranteed in the datasheet, confirming SIHG30N60E-E3's suitability for circuits subject to inductive energy storage without external protection.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHG30N60E-E3?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SIHG30N60E-E3 is specified as 2.0 V minimum, 2.8 V typical, and 4.0 V maximum at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while preventing unintended conduction from noise coupling. SIHG30N60E-E3 does not support logic-level (5 V) drive without gate boosting.
Can SIHG30N60E-E3 be used in parallel configurations?
SIHG30N60E-E3 supports paralleling due to its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (0.64 V/°C), which promotes current sharing across devices. Successful implementation requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical PCB layout, and individual gate resistors to dampen oscillation. SIHG30N60E-E3's low Crss (3 pF) further enhances dynamic stability in multi-device arrangements.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for SIHG30N60E-E3?
The maximum junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC) for SIHG30N60E-E3 is 0.5 °C/W, measured from junction to the drain tab. This low value enables efficient heat transfer to external heatsinks and supports 250 W maximum power dissipation at TC = 25 °C. SIHG30N60E-E3's TO-247AC package design ensures repeatable thermal performance across manufacturing lots.
