Product details
Overview
SIHG33N65EF-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 650 V, 31.6 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring fast body diode (E Series), ultra-low gate charge (114–171 nC), and low RDS(on) of 0.095 Ω at VGS = 10 V. It delivers high efficiency in ZVS LLC resonant converters and solar PV inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG33N65EF-GE3 datasheet, SIHG33N65EF-GE3 pinout, SIHG33N65EF-GE3 application, or SIHG33N65EF-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 179 ns reverse recovery time, 1.18 µC Qrr, avalanche-rated 508 mJ EAS, and suitability for phase-shifted bridge topologies with dV/dt capability up to 70 V/ns.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Vishay's E Series fast-body-diode technology to reduce trr, Qrr, and IRRM-critical for minimizing switching losses in high-frequency resonant converters. Its low Ciss (4026 pF) and Co(er) (100 pF) support clean voltage transitions under hard-switching and ZVS conditions.
The device integrates an integral p–n junction body diode rated for 31.6 A continuous source-drain current and 93 A pulsed current, with VSD = 0.9–1.2 V at 16.5 A and TJ = 25 °C. Thermal resistance RthJC is 0.4 °C/W, enabling high-power dissipation in industrial SMPS designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 650 V - Supports 400 V DC bus designs with 30 % margin for transient overvoltage in PV inverters and telecom rectifiers. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.109 Ω at 25 °C - Enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 16.5 A, reducing heatsink requirements in 1–3 kW power stages. |
| Qg max | 171 nC - Low gate drive energy reduces driver IC stress and allows use of lower-cost gate drivers in high-frequency LLC designs. |
| Qrr | 1.18 µC - Minimizes diode recovery loss and EMI generation during turn-on in phase-shifted full-bridge topologies. |
| EAS | 508 mJ - Rated unclamped inductive switching energy supports robust operation in welder and battery charger surge events. |
| trr | 179 ns - Fast body diode recovery enables >200 kHz operation without excessive shoot-through risk in synchronous rectification. |
| RthJC | 0.4 °C/W - Allows 313 W power dissipation with ≤125 °C case temperature rise, supporting compact thermal design in enclosed power supplies. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHG33N65EF-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHG33N65EF-GE3 supports 20 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-247AC package and ensures safe operation within the 150 °C maximum junction temperature. At 25 °C case temperature, the rating rises to 31.6 A.
Does SIHG33N65EF-GE3 have a fully rated avalanche capability, and what is the test condition?
Yes, SIHG33N65EF-GE3 is fully rated for single-pulse unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with EAS = 508 mJ. The test condition is VDD = 140 V, starting TJ = 25 °C, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 6.0 A, per datasheet note b. This rating validates ruggedness in inductive load switching applications like welders and motor drives.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHG33N65EF-GE3, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
The gate-source threshold voltage VGS(th) for SIHG33N65EF-GE3 is 2.0–4.0 V at TJ = 25 °C and ID = 250 µA. This range confirms compatibility with standard 10 V gate drivers but warns against marginal 5 V logic-level control. To ensure full enhancement and low RDS(on), drive circuits must deliver ≥10 V with sufficient current to charge 171 nC Qg rapidly.
How does the body diode performance of SIHG33N65EF-GE3 compare to standard 650 V MOSFETs?
The SIHG33N65EF-GE3 features Vishay's E Series fast body diode, delivering trr = 179 ns, Qrr = 1.18 µC, and IRRM = 12.6 A at TJ = 25 °C-up to 35 % lower Qrr than conventional 650 V MOSFETs. This directly reduces turn-on switching loss and EMI in hard-commutated and resonant topologies.
Is SIHG33N65EF-GE3 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, SIHG33N65EF-GE3 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering with a peak temperature of 300 °C for 10 seconds, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings. Its TO-247AC package meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements, and the "-GE3" suffix explicitly denotes lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free construction per Vishay doc# 99912.
