Product details
Overview
SIHG47N60E-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 47 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.064 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 220 nC, and avalanche-rated (EAS = 1800 mJ). It serves as a high-voltage switching device in PFC stages and main switches of solar inverters and industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG47N60E-E3 datasheet, SIHG47N60E-E3 pinout, SIHG47N60E-E3 application, or SIHG47N60E-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V blocking capability, low gate charge for hard-switched topologies, robust body diode recovery (trr = 550–1164 ns), and thermal resistance RthJC = 0.33 °C/W enabling high-power-density designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology optimized for high-voltage power conversion. Its gate structure delivers ultra-low Qg (220 nC max) and Ciss (9620 pF max), reducing drive loss and enabling operation at elevated switching frequencies up to 100 kHz in continuous conduction mode PFC.
The integrated body diode is rated for repetitive IS = 47 A and exhibits controlled reverse recovery with Qrr = 10.7–22 μC and dV/dt immunity up to 70 V/ns, supporting reliable operation in bridge-leg configurations without external snubbers in well-designed layouts.
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 PV inverters and industrial SMPS |
| RDS(on) max | 0.064 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 24 A, critical for thermally constrained PFC boost stages |
| Qg max | 220 nC - reduces gate driver power requirement and allows use of lower-cost 1-A peak drivers in 50–100 kHz applications |
| EAS | 1800 mJ - ensures ruggedness against unclamped inductive switching events in motor drive half-bridges |
| RthJC | 0.33 °C/W - permits >300 W dissipation with standard heatsink, enabling compact 3–5 kW power stage designs |
| trr | 550–1164 ns - supports ZVS-assisted soft switching in LLC resonant converters when paired with proper gate timing |
| ID cont | 47 A @ TC = 25 °C - defines maximum continuous current under ideal heatsinking, derating linearly to 30 A at 100 °C case temperature |
Pinout & Package
SIHG47N60E-E3 uses the TO-247AC package - a through-hole, high-power plastic-outline package with isolated drain tab, optimized for high-voltage isolation and thermal performance. The package features three leads: Gate (pin 1), Drain (pins 2 & 4), and Source (pin 3), with drain connected to the metal tab for direct heatsink mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Accepts 10 V logic-level gate drive; requires <220 nC charge to fully enhance; sensitive to ESD (±30 V rating) |
| 2 & 4 (Drain) | Main high-side current path | Electrically tied to metal tab; must be isolated from heatsink unless using insulating pad; carries full load current and withstands 600 V transients |
| 3 (Source) | Reference node / return path | Common reference for gate drive and current sensing; connects to power ground in low-side switch configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low FOM (RDS(on) × Qg) | 14.1 Ω·nC - balances conduction and switching loss for optimal efficiency in 50–100 kHz PFC and inverter stages |
| Avalanche energy rating | 1800 mJ single-pulse - eliminates need for external clamping in inductive load switching, simplifying layout and BOM |
| Body diode Qrr | 10.7–22 μC - enables predictable commutation in synchronous rectification and bidirectional topologies |
| High dV/dt immunity | 70 V/ns - suppresses false turn-on during fast voltage transients in high-side configurations without extra gate resistors |
| Lead (Pb)-free & halogen-free | E3 suffix - complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 moisture sensitivity |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-bridge switch controlling resonant current flow into induction coil with precise phase control. Use Value: Low Coss (460 pF max) and controlled dV/dt (70 V/ns) prevent spurious turn-on during high-frequency voltage reversal. |
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 | 600 V, 48 A, RDS(on) = 0.065 Ω, Qg = 140 nC, D2PAK package | Lower Qg but higher thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.55 °C/W); not TO-247AC-compatible | Preferred where gate drive efficiency dominates over thermal density; requires PCB layout change due to different footprint. |
| IXFH48N60P | 600 V, 48 A, RDS(on) = 0.065 Ω, Qg = 200 nC, TO-247AD package with isolated tab | Same pinout but electrically isolated drain tab; slightly lower Qg; no avalanche rating specified | Selected when galvanic isolation between drain and heatsink is mandatory; lacks documented UIS ruggedness for unclamped inductive loads. |
Compared with STW48N60M2 and IXFH48N60P, SIHG47N60E-E3 offers superior thermal performance (RthJC = 0.33 °C/W) and guaranteed avalanche capability-critical for industrial reliability-while maintaining competitive conduction and switching trade-offs in TO-247AC form factor.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHG47N60E-E3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHG47N60E-E3 has a maximum continuous drain current (ID) of 30 A at TC = 100 °C, per its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This reflects linear derating from 47 A at 25 °C using the specified 3 W/°C thermal derating factor. Designers must ensure heatsink design maintains case temperature ≤100 °C under worst-case load and ambient conditions to sustain this current continuously.
Does SIHG47N60E-E3 have a specified avalanche energy rating, and how is it tested?
Yes, SIHG47N60E-E3 is rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 1800 mJ, tested under standardized unclamped inductive switching (UIS) conditions: VDD = 50 V, starting TJ = 25 °C, L = 73.5 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 7 A. This rating confirms ruggedness against transient overvoltage events in inductive circuits without external protection components.
What is the typical body diode reverse recovery time (trr) for SIHG47N60E-E3, and how does it vary with test conditions?
The SIHG47N60E-E3 body diode trr is specified as 550–1164 ns depending on test voltage: 550 ns (min) to 1164 ns (max) at VR = 400 V, and 582–1164 ns at VR = 25 V, both measured at TJ = 25 °C, IF = IS = 24 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. This variation reflects voltage-dependent carrier lifetime effects in the intrinsic diode structure.
Can SIHG47N60E-E3 be used in a high-side switch configuration, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, SIHG47N60E-E3 supports high-side switching, but requires level-shifted gate drive referenced to the source terminal. Critical considerations include its 70 V/ns dV/dt immunity (prevents false turn-on), need for low-inductance gate loop layout, and verification that VGS remains within ±30 V during fast drain voltage transitions. A dedicated isolated gate driver with sufficient peak current (>2 A) is recommended.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range for SIHG47N60E-E3, and why does it matter for drive circuit design?
The SIHG47N60E-E3 has a VGS(th) range of 2–4 V at ID = 250 μA. This wide spread means gate drive must exceed 4 V reliably to ensure full enhancement across process and temperature extremes. Designers should target ≥10 V gate drive to achieve the specified RDS(on) of 0.064 Ω and avoid operating in the linear region where power dissipation spikes.
