Product details
Overview
SIHG80N60E-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 80 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.026 Ω (typ. at VGS = 10 V), Qg = 295 nC (typ.), and 1142 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy. It serves as a high-efficiency primary-side switching device in high-power SMPS and PFC stages.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG80N60E-GE3 datasheet, SIHG80N60E-GE3 pinout, SIHG80N60E-GE3 application, or SIHG80N60E-GE3 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.24 °C/W), body diode recovery characteristics (trr = 746 ns typ.), and real-world use context for server power, solar inverters, and industrial motor drives.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology optimized for high-voltage hard-switching applications. Its low Ciss (6900 pF typ.) and ultra-low Qgd/Qg ratio (139/295 nC) reduce Miller-induced turn-off delay and improve gate drive efficiency under high dv/dt conditions (70 V/ns max).
The integrated body diode is rated for 80 A continuous source-drain current and exhibits controlled reverse recovery (Qrr = 16 μC typ., IRRM = 33 A) - critical for ZVS-capable topologies and freewheeling in bridge configurations where diode conduction occurs during dead time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with ≥50 % voltage margin for transient spikes in telecom/server PSUs |
| RDS(on) typ. | 0.026 Ω at VGS = 10 V - enables <1.0 W conduction loss at 40 A, reducing heatsink requirements |
| Qg typ. | 295 nC - lowers gate driver power demand and allows use of cost-effective 1-A peak drivers |
| EAS | 1142 mJ - ensures robustness against unclamped inductive switching events in motor drive and welding circuits |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Lead) | Gate | High-impedance control input requiring <100 nA leakage; driven by dedicated gate driver IC or transformer-coupled circuit |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW80N60DM6 | 600 V, 80 A, RDS(on) = 0.028 Ω, Qg = 320 nC, D2PAK package | Higher thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.45 °C/W); requires larger heatsink footprint | Preferred where board space is constrained but thermal budget allows SMD mounting |
| IXFH80N60X3 | 600 V, 80 A, RDS(on) = 0.024 Ω, Qg = 220 nC, TO-247 package, no UIS rating | Lacks avalanche energy specification; unsuitable for unclamped inductive loads | Selected when gate drive efficiency is prioritized over ruggedness in tightly regulated ZVS designs |
Compared with STW80N60DM6 and IXFH80N60X3, SIHG80N60E-GE3 offers superior avalanche ruggedness and lower thermal resistance in TO-247AC, making it optimal for high-reliability industrial and renewable energy systems where transient immunity and thermal headroom are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHG80N60E-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHG80N60E-GE3 is rated for 51 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat dissipation capability at elevated case temperatures and must be used with appropriate heatsinking to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C. The SIHG80N60E-GE3 datasheet confirms this limit applies under steady-state conduction with VGS = 10 V.
Does SIHG80N60E-GE3 have a specified avalanche energy rating, and how is it tested?
Yes, SIHG80N60E-GE3 is rated for 1142 mJ single-pulse unclamped inductive switching (UIS) energy, tested per JEDEC standard with VDD = 140 V, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 9 A starting at TJ = 25 °C. This rating validates ruggedness against inductive kickback in motor drives and welding equipment. The SIHG80N60E-GE3 datasheet explicitly lists EAS in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section.
What is the typical gate charge (Qg) of SIHG80N60E-GE3, and why does it matter for gate driver selection?
The SIHG80N60E-GE3 has a typical total gate charge (Qg) of 295 nC at VGS = 10 V, with Qgs = 85 nC and Qgd = 139 nC. This value determines required gate driver peak current: for 100 ns turn-on, ~3 A peak is needed. Lower Qg reduces driver power loss and simplifies gate loop design. The SIHG80N60E-GE3 datasheet specifies Qg in the Dynamic Characteristics table.
How does the body diode performance of SIHG80N60E-GE3 compare to standard fast recovery diodes?
The SIHG80N60E-GE3 body diode has trr = 746 ns (typ.), Qrr = 16 μC (typ.), and VSD = 1.2 V (typ. at 40 A), making it suitable for moderate-frequency freewheeling but not optimized for ultra-fast synchronous rectification. Unlike discrete fast diodes, its recovery is process-tuned for balance between softness and speed - critical in PFC boost diodes. These values are confirmed in the Drain-Source Body Diode Characteristics section of the SIHG80N60E-GE3 datasheet.
Is SIHG80N60E-GE3 lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free, and what does the "-GE3" suffix indicate?
Yes, SIHG80N60E-GE3 is lead-free and halogen-free per Vishay's material compliance standards. The "-GE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, green (halogen-free) packaging with matte tin plating on leads and TO-247AC package construction. This marking is defined in the Ordering Information section of the SIHG80N60E-GE3 datasheet and aligns with Vishay document 99912.
