Product details
Overview
SIHG30N60E-GE3 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), designed for high-efficiency switch-mode power supplies and PFC stages.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG30N60E-GE3 datasheet, SIHG30N60E-GE3 pinout, SIHG30N60E-GE3 application, or SIHG30N60E-GE3 equivalent, this device supports high-voltage DC-DC conversion, telecom rectification, and solar inverter primary-side switching where low conduction loss, fast switching, and rugged unclamped inductive switching capability are required.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar high-voltage silicon technology optimized for reduced figure-of-merit (RDS(on) × Qg = 16.25 Ω·nC typ), enabling lower switching and conduction losses in hard-switched topologies. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V) ensures robust noise immunity while remaining compatible with standard 10 V gate drivers.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 402–605 ns, Qrr = 7–15 μC) and exhibits controlled dV/dt capability (70 V/ns) to minimize EMI in high-frequency operation. Thermal resistance RthJC = 0.5 °C/W enables high-power dissipation with efficient heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 50 % safety margin for transient overvoltage in telecom and solar inverters |
| RDS(on) max @ 10 V | 0.125 Ω - delivers ≤ 54 W conduction loss at 20.8 A RMS in continuous conduction mode PFC |
| Qg max | 130 nC - enables <100 ns turn-on delay with 4.7 Ω gate resistor, reducing switching transition time |
| EAS | 690 mJ - withstands repetitive unclamped inductive energy without failure in hard-switched SMPS output stages |
| trr & Qrr | 402–605 ns / 7–15 μC - minimizes reverse recovery loss and cross-conduction risk in synchronous rectification and bridge configurations |
| RthJC | 0.5 °C/W - allows 250 W power dissipation with ≤ 125 °C junction rise above case, supporting high-current industrial motor drives |
Pinout & Package
SIHG30N60E-GE3 is housed in a TO-247AC package with isolated drain tab, rated for high-voltage isolation and high thermal conductivity. The package features three leads: Gate (pin 1), Drain (pins 2 & 4), and Source (pin 3), with pin 4 electrically connected to the drain tab for low-inductance high-current return path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives 10 V logic-level drive signal; input capacitance Ciss = 2600 pF requires careful gate driver sizing to avoid overshoot |
| 2 (Drain) | Main high-side current path | Connected to high-voltage DC bus; shares internal connection with pin 4 and metal tab for minimized loop inductance |
| 3 (Source) | Reference and return node | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; carries full load current and body diode reverse recovery current |
| 4 (Drain) | Secondary drain connection | Electrically tied to pin 2 and drain tab; used for redundant high-current routing and improved thermal spreading |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) × Qg FOM | 16.25 Ω·nC typ - directly reduces total switching + conduction loss in 100–300 kHz SMPS designs |
| Avalanche energy rating | 690 mJ single-pulse - eliminates need for external snubbers in flyback and resonant converter primary switches |
| Body diode trr & Qrr | 402–605 ns / 7–15 μC - enables reliable operation in LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge topologies without external anti-parallel diodes |
| High dV/dt immunity | 70 V/ns - suppresses false turn-on during high dv/dt commutation, improving reliability in high-speed hard-switched converters |
| Lead (Pb)-free & halogen-free | Complies with RoHS 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile - supports lead-free manufacturing and environmental compliance |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW30NM60ND | 600 V, 30 A, RDS(on) = 0.135 Ω, Qg = 120 nC, D2PAK package | Higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss; smaller package limits thermal headroom at >200 W | Preferred for space-constrained designs where board area is prioritized over thermal margin |
| IXFH30N60P | 600 V, 30 A, RDS(on) = 0.14 Ω, Qg = 110 nC, TO-247 package, no UIS rating | Lacks avalanche energy specification; higher RDS(on) raises junction temperature under sustained load | Suitable for non-inductive or snubber-protected topologies where avalanche stress is absent |
Compared with STW30NM60ND and IXFH30N60P, SIHG30N60E-GE3 offers superior avalanche ruggedness and lower conduction loss in TO-247AC, making it optimal for unclamped inductive loads and thermally demanding industrial power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHG30N60E-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHG30N60E-GE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 18 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects derating from the 29 A rating at 25 °C due to thermal limitations, and must be applied with proper heatsinking to maintain junction temperature ≤150 °C. The linear derating factor is 2 W/°C beyond 100 °C.
Does SIHG30N60E-GE3 support gate drive voltages below 10 V?
Yes, SIHG30N60E-GE3 operates with gate voltages down to its threshold range of 2.0–4.0 V, but full enhancement and guaranteed RDS(on) ≤ 0.125 Ω require VGS = 10 V. At 5 V, RDS(on) rises significantly (not characterized in datasheet), so 10 V drive is recommended for low-loss operation. Logic-level variants are not offered in this family.
Is SIHG30N60E-GE3 suitable for use in synchronous rectification topologies?
While SIHG30N60E-GE3 includes an integral body diode with trr = 402–605 ns, it is not optimized for synchronous rectification due to relatively high Qrr and lack of dedicated low-Qrr design. For SR applications, Vishay recommends TrenchFET® Gen IV devices like SiR626DP. SIHG30N60E-GE3 is best deployed as a primary-side switch.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for SIHG30N60E-GE3?
The maximum junction-to-case (drain) thermal resistance RthJC for SIHG30N60E-GE3 is 0.5 °C/W, as stated in the Thermal Resistance Ratings table. This value assumes proper mounting to a flat, smooth heatsink surface with thermal interface material; actual system RthJA depends on heatsink size and airflow.
How does the avalanche energy rating of SIHG30N60E-GE3 impact circuit protection design?
The SIHG30N60E-GE3 is rated for 690 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS), allowing it to safely absorb inductive energy during switching transients without external snubbers in topologies like flyback or forward converters. This rating enables simplified, cost-effective protection schemes but does not replace design for worst-case fault conditions.
