Product details
Overview
SIHG61N65EF-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 650 V, 64 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring ultra-low gate charge (247 nC typ.), fast body diode (trr = 212 ns typ.), and low RDS(on) of 0.041 Ω at VGS = 10 V - optimized for high-efficiency LLC resonant and phase-shifted bridge converters in telecom and solar inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG61N65EF-GE3 datasheet, SIHG61N65EF-GE3 pinout, SIHG61N65EF-GE3 application, or SIHG61N65EF-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1142 mJ avalanche energy rating, 7407 pF input capacitance, 0.24 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and compatibility with zero-voltage switching topologies requiring low Qrr and controlled dV/dt.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Vishay's E Series fast-body-diode technology to reduce reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 2.1 μC typ.) and peak reverse recovery current (IRRM = 18 A), enabling robust operation in hard- and soft-switching circuits. Its low Ciss/Coss ratio and 93 pF Qgd support precise gate drive control under high dV/dt conditions up to 70 V/ns.
The device integrates an avalanche-rated intrinsic body diode with 50 V/ns reverse diode dV/dt capability and operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. Thermal design is enabled by its 0.24 °C/W RthJC and 520 W maximum power dissipation at TC = 25 °C.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW62N65M5 | 650 V, 62 A, RDS(on) = 0.042 Ω, Qg = 125 nC - lower gate charge but higher RDS(on) and no specified EAS rating | Better suited for high-frequency flyback where Qg dominates; less rugged in unclamped inductive loads | Select when gate drive power budget is tighter than conduction loss target; verify avalanche margin separately |
| IXFH60N65X2 | 650 V, 60 A, RDS(on) = 0.045 Ω, Qrr = 1.8 μC - enhanced HiPerFET with lower trr but higher Ciss (8300 pF) | Preferred in high-dI/dt ZVS circuits needing faster diode recovery; requires stronger gate driver due to higher Ciss | Choose for ultra-fast recovery-critical phase-shifted bridges; confirm gate driver can source 3.5 A peak |
Compared with STW62N65M5 and IXFH60N65X2, SIHG61N65EF-GE3 delivers superior avalanche ruggedness and balanced Qg/RDS(on) trade-off, making it optimal for industrial SMPS where reliability under transient stress and thermal stability are prioritized over minimal gate drive loss.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHG61N65EF-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHG61N65EF-GE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 41 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 the 150 °C maximum junction temperature. The 64 A rating applies only at TC = 25 °C and must be reduced linearly using the 4.2 W/°C derating factor above that temperature.
Does SIHG61N65EF-GE3 support gate drive voltages below 10 V?
Yes, SIHG61N65EF-GE3 is fully characterized down to VGS = 5 V, with a gate threshold voltage range of 2.0–4.0 V. However, RDS(on) increases significantly below 10 V - e.g., at VGS = 8 V, RDS(on) rises to ~0.052 Ω - so 10 V is recommended for minimum conduction loss. Logic-level compatibility is not guaranteed; dedicated gate drivers meeting ±30 V VGS rating are advised.
How does the body diode performance of SIHG61N65EF-GE3 compare to standard MOSFETs in hard-switched PFC stages?
The SIHG61N65EF-GE3 body diode delivers trr = 212 ns and Qrr = 2.1 μC at TJ = 25 °C - approximately 40 % lower Qrr than standard 650 V MOSFETs. This directly reduces reverse recovery loss and associated EMI in continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) PFC, enabling higher efficiency and smaller EMI filters. Performance degrades at elevated temperature, so thermal management remains critical.
Is SIHG61N65EF-GE3 suitable for use in synchronous rectification configurations?
No - SIHG61N65EF-GE3 is a single N-channel high-side switch intended for primary-side switching, not synchronous rectification. Its body diode is optimized for fast recovery in hard- or soft-switched topologies, not low forward voltage in secondary-side rectification. For SR applications, Vishay offers dedicated low-VF trench MOSFETs like SiR626DP; using SIHG61N65EF-GE3 in SR would incur excessive conduction loss due to its 0.041 Ω RDS(on) and 0.9 V VSD.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for SIHG61N65EF-GE3 in a 150 kHz LLC resonant converter?
For a 150 kHz LLC resonant converter, a gate resistor of 9.1 Ω is validated in the datasheet (td(on) and td(off) test condition), yielding ~59 ns turn-on delay and ~217 ns turn-off delay. This value balances switching speed against gate ringing and EMI. Lower values (e.g., 4.7 Ω) may reduce losses but risk overshoot; higher values (>15 Ω) increase switching loss and degrade ZVS margin. Layout-dependent parasitics require empirical tuning.
