Product details
Overview
SIHG47N60E-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 47 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, optimized for high-voltage switching in SMPS and PFC stages with RDS(on) = 0.064 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 220 nC, and avalanche-rated (EAS = 1800 mJ). It delivers low conduction and switching losses in industrial motor drives and solar inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG47N60E-GE3 datasheet, SIHG47N60E-GE3 pinout, SIHG47N60E-GE3 application, or SIHG47N60E-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V VDS, 47 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, ultra-low gate charge, body diode recovery performance (trr = 550–1164 ns), and TO-247AC thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.33 °C/W).
Technical Context
This device employs planar vertical DMOS technology with optimized cell layout to achieve low figure-of-merit (RDS(on) × Qg). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2–4 V) ensures robust noise immunity while enabling standard 10 V gate drive compatibility.
The integrated body diode features soft reverse recovery (Qrr = 10.7–22 μC, trr = 550–1164 ns at VR = 400 V), critical for reducing EMI and voltage overshoot in hard-switched topologies. Thermal design is supported by low junction-to-case resistance (0.33 °C/W) and rated for operation from –55 °C to +150 °C.
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 |
| ID continuous @ TC = 25 °C | 47 A - enables high-power output without forced air cooling in compact heatsink layouts |
| RDS(on) max @ VGS = 10 V | 0.064 Ω - limits conduction loss to ≤143 W at 47 A, critical for efficiency in PFC boost stages |
| Qg max | 220 nC - reduces gate driver power demand and switching transition time in 50–100 kHz SMPS |
| EAS single-pulse | 1800 mJ - withstands unclamped inductive energy during fault conditions without failure |
| trr (body diode) | 550–1164 ns - minimizes reverse recovery stress and dv/dt-induced shoot-through risk |
| RthJC | 0.33 °C/W - allows direct mounting to heatsink with predictable thermal drop under full load |
Pinout & Package
SIHG47N60E-GE3 uses the TO-247AC package: a 3-lead through-hole power package with isolated tab (drain-connected), optimized for high-voltage isolation and thermal dissipation. Dimensions conform to JEDEC TO-247 outline with thermal pad contour optional (D1/E1 variants); lead finish is Pb-free and halogen-free per RoHS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <220 nC total charge; sensitive to ESD; must be driven with low-impedance path to minimize ringing |
| 2 (Drain) | Main power output / high-side switch node | Connected to internal die backside; electrically tied to metal tab; requires creepage/clearance ≥8 mm for 600 V systems |
| 3 (Source) | Power return / reference node | Low-inductance source connection essential for stable gate drive; forms common return for gate driver and load current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) × Qg FOM | 14.1 Ω·nC - balances conduction and switching loss for optimal efficiency in 50–100 kHz PFC converters |
| Avalanche energy rating | 1800 mJ - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching and fault-tolerant designs |
| Soft-recovery body diode | Qrr = 10.7–22 μC, trr = 550–1164 ns - suppresses voltage spikes and reduces EMI in bridge-leg and synchronous rectifier configurations |
| Ultra-low Ciss | 2405–9620 pF - improves high-frequency gate drive stability and reduces Miller-induced turn-on risk |
| High dV/dt immunity | 70 V/ns - maintains reliable blocking during fast transients in motor drive and inverter applications |

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 = 160 nC, D2PAK package | Lower gate charge but higher thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.55 °C/W); no avalanche rating specified | Prefer when gate drive power is constrained and board space permits larger footprint; avoid in unclamped inductive loads |
| IXFH48N60P | 600 V, 48 A, RDS(on) = 0.065 Ω, Qg = 210 nC, TO-247 package, avalanche rated (EAS = 1500 mJ) | Slightly lower EAS and higher Ciss (5200 pF typ); same pinout and thermal interface | Drop-in alternative where identical mechanical fit and reliability under repetitive avalanche are required |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHG47N60E-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHG47N60E-GE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 30 A at TC = 100 °C, derated linearly from 47 A at 25 °C using a 3 W/°C derating factor. This reflects real-world thermal constraints in enclosed power enclosures without forced airflow, and must be validated against actual PCB copper area and heatsink performance in the final design.
Does SIHG47N60E-GE3 have a fully rated avalanche capability, and how is it tested?
Yes, SIHG47N60E-GE3 is fully rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 1800 mJ), tested per JEDEC JESD24-11 with VDD = 50 V, L = 73.5 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 7 A. This rating applies to non-repetitive fault events only; repetitive avalanche is not guaranteed and requires system-level protection design.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHG47N60E-GE3, and why does it matter for drive circuit design?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SIHG47N60E-GE3 is specified from 2 V to 4 V at ID = 250 μA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while providing noise margin against spurious turn-on from dv/dt coupling-critical in high-density power boards where gate traces run near switching nodes.
Can SIHG47N60E-GE3 be used in place of a logic-level MOSFET in 5 V gate drive applications?
No-SIHG47N60E-GE3 is not a logic-level device. Its VGS(th) minimum is 2 V, but full enhancement requires VGS ≥ 10 V to achieve RDS(on) ≤ 0.064 Ω. At 5 V gate drive, RDS(on) increases significantly (>0.2 Ω), causing excessive conduction loss; a dedicated logic-level MOSFET or gate driver boosting to 10–15 V is required.
What is the body diode's reverse recovery charge (Qrr) for SIHG47N60E-GE3, and how does it impact bridge-leg operation?
The body diode Qrr for SIHG47N60E-GE3 is 10.7–22 μC depending on test conditions (VR = 25–400 V, dI/dt = 100 A/μs). In bridge-leg topologies, this value directly determines commutation loss and voltage overshoot during freewheeling transitions; lower Qrr reduces EMI and enables higher switching frequencies without added snubbers.
