Product details
Overview
SIHG47N60AE-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 43 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.056 Ω (typ. at VGS = 10 V), Qg = 121 nC (typ.), and 614 mJ avalanche energy rating. It serves as a primary switching device in high-efficiency PFC and main-switch stages of telecom/server SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG47N60AE-GE3 datasheet, SIHG47N60AE-GE3 pinout, SIHG47N60AE-GE3 application, or SIHG47N60AE-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit, robust unclamped inductive switching capability, and thermal resistance RthJC = 0.4 °C/W for high-power density designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar high-voltage silicon technology optimized for hard-switched and resonant topologies. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2–4 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers, while its Ciss = 3600 pF (typ.) and Coss = 177 pF (typ.) support predictable switching behavior under 480 V bus conditions.
The integrated body diode exhibits trr = 589–1178 ns and Qrr = 9.8–19.6 μC at TJ = 25 °C, enabling moderate-frequency operation in continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC without requiring external SiC diodes in cost-sensitive designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 600 V - supports 400 V AC input rectified to ~560 V DC bus with margin for transient overvoltage |
| RDS(on) typ. | 0.056 Ω at VGS = 10 V - enables <1.3 W conduction loss at 24 A, critical for thermal management in 1–3 kW PFC stages |
| Qg max | 182 nC - determines gate driver current requirement (~1.8 A peak for 100 ns rise time) |
| EAS | 614 mJ - withstands single-pulse inductive energy during fault events without failure |
| RthJC | 0.4 °C/W - allows >250 W power dissipation with 100 °C case temperature rise, supporting compact heatsink design |
| ID cont. | 43 A at TC = 25 °C - defines maximum continuous current under ideal heatsinking conditions |
| trr | 589 ns (typ.) - limits reverse recovery losses in hard-switched totem-pole PFC configurations |
Pinout & Package
SIHG47N60AE-GE3 is housed in a TO-247AC package with isolated drain tab, optimized for high-voltage isolation and thermal transfer via mounting to heatsink. The package features three leads: Gate (pin 1), Drain (pins 2 and 4), Source (pin 3), per Vishay's official lead assignment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control input | Receives gate drive signal; requires low-impedance path to minimize ringing and ensure fast, controlled turn-on/turn-off |
| 2 & 4 (Drain) | High-side power terminal | Electrically connected to internal die drain; both pins must be routed to high-voltage DC bus with equal current sharing |
| 3 (Source) | Reference node | Serves as return path for load current and gate drive reference; must be low-inductance connection to minimize VGS disturbance during switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) × Qg FOM | 6.8 Ω·nC (0.056 Ω × 121 nC) - reduces combined conduction and switching losses in high-frequency SMPS |
| Avalanche-rated | 614 mJ single-pulse UIS - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching applications |
| Ultra-low Qgd/Qg ratio | 51 % (62/121 nC) - improves Miller immunity and enables stable operation with moderate gate resistors |
| Lead (Pb)-free & Halogen-free | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and Vishay's Green Standard - suitable for environmentally regulated industrial and telecom equipment |
| Body diode Qrr | 9.8 μC (typ.) - enables predictable reverse recovery behavior in CCM boost PFC without external diode replacement |
Applications
| Server Power Supplies | Telecom Rectifiers |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW48N60M2 | RDS(on) = 0.065 Ω (typ.), Qg = 110 nC (typ.), TO-247 package | Higher conduction loss but lower gate charge; slightly reduced avalanche rating (EAS = 520 mJ) | Prefer when gate drive strength is limited and thermal margin exists for higher RDS(on). |
| IXFH52N60P | RDS(on) = 0.060 Ω (typ.), Qg = 145 nC (typ.), TO-247 package | Higher Qg increases driver loss; superior dV/dt ruggedness (125 V/ns vs. 100 V/ns) | Prefer in noisy industrial environments where high dV/dt immunity is required over minimal gate loss. |
Compared with STW48N60M2 and IXFH52N60P, SIHG47N60AE-GE3 delivers the lowest RDS(on) × Qg product (6.8 Ω·nC), making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-efficiency PFC and SMPS designs where both conduction and switching losses must be minimized simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHG47N60AE-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHG47N60AE-GE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 27 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-247AC package and must be applied when heatsink temperature exceeds 25 °C. Designers should verify junction temperature using RthJC = 0.4 °C/W and actual power dissipation to ensure TJ ≤ 150 °C.
Does SIHG47N60AE-GE3 have avalanche capability, and how is it rated?
Yes, SIHG47N60AE-GE3 is fully avalanche-rated with a single-pulse unclamped inductive switching (UIS) energy rating of 614 mJ, tested per JEDEC JESD24-1. This rating applies under conditions of VDD = 140 V, starting TJ = 25 °C, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 6.6 A. It enables robust operation in inductive switching circuits without external protection components.
What is the typical gate threshold voltage range for SIHG47N60AE-GE3?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SIHG47N60AE-GE3 is specified as 2.0–4.0 V at TJ = 25 °C and ID = 250 μA. This range ensures compatibility with standard 10 V gate drivers while providing sufficient noise margin against false turn-on in high-dV/dt environments typical of high-power converters.
Can SIHG47N60AE-GE3 be used in place of an IGBT in motor drive inverters?
SIHG47N60AE-GE3 can replace IGBTs in motor drive inverters operating below 16 kHz, particularly where reduced switching loss and simplified gate drive are priorities. Its 600 V rating, 43 A current capability, and low Qg support efficient PWM control, though designers must verify short-circuit withstand time and body diode recovery performance against specific motor load profiles.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for SIHG47N60AE-GE3?
The maximum junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC) for SIHG47N60AE-GE3 is 0.4 °C/W, measured from the die junction to the drain tab surface. This value is critical for calculating heatsink requirements: for example, at 200 W power dissipation and 100 °C allowable case-to-ambient rise, the heatsink must maintain TC ≤ 100 °C to keep TJ ≤ 150 °C.
