Product details
Overview
SIHG70N60EF-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 70 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring ultra-low gate charge (253 nC typ.), fast body diode (trr = 213 ns typ.), and low RDS(on) of 0.033 Ω at VGS = 10 V. It is engineered for high-efficiency, high-frequency switching in telecom and industrial SMPS topologies including LLC and phase-shifted bridge.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG70N60EF-GE3 datasheet, SIHG70N60EF-GE3 pinout, SIHG70N60EF-GE3 application, or SIHG70N60EF-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1706 mJ UIS-rated avalanche energy, 70 V/ns dV/dt capability, and optimized FOM (RDS(on) × Qg = 8.36 Ω·nC), critical for ZVS operation and EMI reduction in high-density power converters.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Vishay's EF Series E-technology to achieve reduced reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 1.6 μC typ.) and peak reverse recovery current (IRRM = 16 A), enabling robust commutation in hard- and soft-switching circuits. Its low Ciss (7500 pF typ.) and Crss (5 pF typ.) support stable high-speed gate drive with minimal Miller effect.
The device integrates an avalanche-energy-rated body diode with VSD = 0.9 V typ. at IS = 35 A and TJ = 25 °C, and exhibits linear derating of 4.2 W/°C above TC = 25 °C. Thermal resistance RthJC is 0.24 °C/W, confirming efficient heat transfer to heatsinks in high-power applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHG70N60EF-GE3 at TC = 100 °C?
The maximum continuous drain current for SIHG70N60EF-GE3 is 45 A when case temperature (TC) is 100 °C, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating assumes proper heatsinking and accounts for thermal derating beyond 25 °C at 4.2 W/°C. At TC = 25 °C, the rating increases to 70 A, and pulsed current capability reaches 229 A.
Does SIHG70N60EF-GE3 have a fully rated avalanche energy specification?
Yes, SIHG70N60EF-GE3 is fully rated for single-pulse unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with EAS = 1706 mJ at TJ = 25 °C, VDD = 50 V, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 11 A. This value is measured and guaranteed per Vishay's test conditions and reflects the device's ability to absorb inductive energy without failure.
What is the typical reverse recovery time (trr) of the body diode in SIHG70N60EF-GE3?
The typical reverse recovery time (trr) of the integral body diode in SIHG70N60EF-GE3 is 213 ns, measured at TJ = 25 °C, IF = IS = 35 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs, and VR = 400 V. This fast recovery characteristic directly supports reduced switching loss and improved efficiency in bridge-leg and resonant topologies.
Is SIHG70N60EF-GE3 lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free?
Yes, SIHG70N60EF-GE3 is lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free, as confirmed in the Ordering Information section of the datasheet. The "-GE3" suffix explicitly denotes compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and Vishay's halogen-free policy per document 99912.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for SIHG70N60EF-GE3?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SIHG70N60EF-GE3 is specified from 2.0 V to 4.0 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drive while maintaining noise immunity against spurious gate excursions in high-noise power environments.
