Product details
Overview
SIHG33N60E-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 33 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.099 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, Qg = 150 nC max, and avalanche-rated (EAS = 793 mJ). It serves as a high-voltage switching device in primary-side SMPS and PFC stages of telecom/server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG33N60E-GE3 datasheet, SIHG33N60E-GE3 pinout, SIHG33N60E-GE3 application, or SIHG33N60E-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V VDS, low gate charge for reduced switching loss, TO-247AC thermal performance (RthJC = 0.45 °C/W), and integrated body diode with trr = 1006 ns max.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology optimized for high-voltage hard-switching applications. Its gate structure minimizes Qg and Ciss (3508 pF typ), enabling fast turn-on while maintaining robust dV/dt immunity (70 V/ns).
The device integrates an avalanche-rated body diode with Qrr = 17 μC max and VSD = 1.2 V max at 16.5 A, supporting synchronous rectification and inductive load handling in PFC and DC-DC converters without external diode supplementation.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW33N60M2 | 600 V, 33 A, RDS(on) = 0.095 Ω, Qg = 120 nC, TO-247 long leads | Lower Qg improves switching efficiency but requires tighter gate drive layout due to faster dv/dt. | Preferred where gate drive loop inductance is minimized and higher dV/dt immunity is not required. |
| IXFH32N60P | 600 V, 32 A, RDS(on) = 0.115 Ω, Qg = 135 nC, TO-247 non-isolated drain | Higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss; drain tab not electrically isolated from case. | Acceptable where heatsink isolation is not needed and thermal margin accommodates +15% RDS(on). |
Compared with STW33N60M2 and IXFH32N60P, the SIHG33N60E-GE3 offers superior avalanche ruggedness (793 mJ vs. 520 mJ and 650 mJ) and electrically isolated drain for flexible heatsink mounting-critical in multi-rail server PSUs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHG33N60E-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHG33N60E-GE3 supports 21 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, derated linearly from 33 A at 25 °C using the specified 2.2 W/°C derating factor. This rating assumes proper heatsinking and junction temperature maintained ≤150 °C per absolute maximum ratings.
Does SIHG33N60E-GE3 have a fully rated avalanche capability, and how is it tested?
Yes, SIHG33N60E-GE3 is fully rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 793 mJ), tested per JEDEC JESD24-11 with VDD = 50 V, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 7.5 A. The device passes this test without parameter degradation, confirming ruggedness in unclamped inductive switching.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHG33N60E-GE3, and why does it matter for drive circuit design?
The SIHG33N60E-GE3 has a VGS(th) range of 2.0–4.0 V at ID = 250 μA. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drive while providing noise margin against spurious turn-on from coupling or ringing-critical in high-dV/dt environments like PFC boost stages.
Can SIHG33N60E-GE3 be used in place of a logic-level MOSFET in 5 V gate drive applications?
No-SIHG33N60E-GE3 is not a logic-level device. Its minimum VGS(th) is 2.0 V, but full enhancement requires ≥10 V for RDS(on) ≤ 0.099 Ω. At 5 V gate drive, RDS(on) exceeds 0.5 Ω, causing excessive conduction loss; a dedicated logic-level MOSFET such as SiHL012N60E is required for 5 V systems.
What is the typical reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of the body diode in SIHG33N60E-GE3, and how does it affect PFC performance?
The SIHG33N60E-GE3 body diode exhibits Qrr = 8.5–17 μC, measured at TJ = 25 °C, IF = IS, dI/dt = 100 A/μs, and VR = 20 V. This moderate Qrr enables efficient operation in critical-conduction-mode (CRM) PFC, reducing diode-related switching loss and EMI compared to standard recovery diodes.
