Product details
Overview
SIHG47N60EF-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 47 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring ultra-low gate charge (Qg = 152–228 nC), fast body diode (trr = 199–398 ns), and avalanche-rated ruggedness (EAS = 1500 mJ). It delivers low RDS(on) of 0.056 Ω (typ.) at VGS = 10 V and is optimized for high-efficiency LLC resonant and phase-shifted bridge topologies in telecom and solar inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG47N60EF-GE3 datasheet, SIHG47N60EF-GE3 pinout, SIHG47N60EF-GE3 application, or SIHG47N60EF-GE3 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, body diode recovery behavior, and validated alternatives for ZVS SMPS design, PV inverter half-bridge stages, and high-intensity lighting drivers.
Technical Context
This device employs Vishay's EF-series silicon technology to minimize reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 1.4–2.8 μC) and reduce switching losses in hard- and soft-switching converters. Its low Ciss (5000 pF typ.) and Co(er) (172 pF) support high-frequency operation up to 300 kHz while maintaining stable gate drive control under dV/dt stress up to 70 V/ns (TJ = 125 °C).
The integrated fast-recovery body diode enables reliable synchronous rectification and freewheeling in bidirectional topologies without external diodes. Thermal resistance RthJC = 0.33 °C/W ensures efficient heat transfer to heatsinks in high-power industrial applications such as welding inverters and battery chargers.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW48N60M2 | Higher RDS(on) (0.07 Ω), higher Qg (240 nC), no specified trr or Qrr | Limited suitability for ZVS due to slower body diode; better for hard-switched PFC stages | Prefer SIHG47N60EF-GE3 where fast body diode recovery is required in resonant topologies |
| IXFH48N60P | Higher VDS rating (650 V), higher RDS(on) (0.075 Ω), Qrr not characterized | Stronger avalanche rating (EAS = 2200 mJ); used in high-reliability industrial motor drives | Choose SIHG47N60EF-GE3 when optimizing for combined low Qg and low Qrr in high-frequency SMPS |
Compared with STW48N60M2 and IXFH48N60P, SIHG47N60EF-GE3 offers the lowest Qrr–RDS(on) trade-off among 600 V 47 A MOSFETs, making it uniquely suited for LLC and PSFB designs where diode recovery loss dominates total system loss at light-to-mid loads.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHG47N60EF-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current for SIHG47N60EF-GE3 is 29 A 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 its 379 W power dissipation capability when properly heatsinked. SIHG47N60EF-GE3 maintains stable RDS(on) performance across this range due to its positive VGS(th) temperature coefficient.
Does SIHG47N60EF-GE3 have a fully characterized body diode for synchronous rectification?
Yes, SIHG47N60EF-GE3 includes full characterization of its integral body diode, including trr (199–398 ns), Qrr (1.4–2.8 μC), IRRM (13.2 A), and VSD (0.9–1.2 V). These parameters are measured under standardized conditions (TJ = 25 °C, IF = 24 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs, VR = 400 V) and confirm suitability for controlled freewheeling and synchronous rectification in bridge topologies. SIHG47N60EF-GE3 is explicitly designed as an EF-series fast-body-diode MOSFET.
Is SIHG47N60EF-GE3 suitable for use in phase-shifted full-bridge (PSFB) converters?
Yes, SIHG47N60EF-GE3 is validated for PSFB operation due to its low Qrr, fast trr, and high dV/dt immunity (70 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C). Its 600 V rating supports 400 V DC bus designs with margin, and its 228 nC Qg max enables reliable ZVS transition with typical gate drivers. SIHG47N60EF-GE3 is listed in Vishay's application notes for PSFB telecom and server power supplies.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for SIHG47N60EF-GE3?
The maximum junction-to-case (drain) thermal resistance RthJC for SIHG47N60EF-GE3 is 0.33 °C/W, as stated in the Thermal Resistance Ratings table. This value applies to heat flow from the silicon die through the drain metallization to the TO-247AC package's isolated metal tab. SIHG47N60EF-GE3 achieves this low RthJC via optimized internal bond wire and die attach design, enabling high-power density layouts.
How does the gate charge profile of SIHG47N60EF-GE3 impact gate driver selection?
SIHG47N60EF-GE3 has a total gate charge Qg of 152–228 nC (typ./max) with Qgs = 32 nC and Qgd = 62 nC, indicating moderate Miller plateau duration. This requires a gate driver capable of ≥2 A peak sink/source current to achieve <100 ns turn-on/turn-off times at 10 V drive. SIHG47N60EF-GE3 benefits from low-impedance PCB routing and localized 100 nF decoupling near the source pin to maintain stable VGS during high dI/dt switching.
