Product details
Overview
SIHP24N65E-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 650 V, 24 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.145 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, Qg = 122 nC, and avalanche-rated (EAS = 508 mJ). It delivers low conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency PFC and SMPS stages in telecom and server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SIHP24N65E-E3 datasheet, SIHP24N65E-E3 pinout, SIHP24N65E-E3 application, or SIHP24N65E-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 650 V VDS, 0.145 Ω RDS(on), 122 nC gate charge, TO-220AB thermal performance (RthJC = 0.5 °C/W), and UIS ruggedness-critical for hard-switched industrial and renewable energy inverters.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology optimized for high-voltage, medium-current switching with low Ciss (2740 pF) and ultra-low Qgd/Qg ratio (37/122 nC), enabling fast, low-loss turn-on/turn-off transitions. Its body diode exhibits trr = 433 ns and Qrr = 7.3 μC at 25 °C, supporting moderate-frequency synchronous rectification and flyback operation.
The device operates across -55 to +150 °C junction temperature range and supports dV/dt immunity up to 37 V/ns at 125 °C. Its 0.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance enables 250 W continuous dissipation at TC = 25 °C, making it suitable for thermally constrained board-level designs without forced airflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 650 V - Supports 400 V DC bus designs with ≥30 % safety margin for transient overvoltage in PFC and solar inverters. |
| RDS(on) max @ 10 V | 0.145 Ω - Enables <1.7 W conduction loss at 12 A DC, reducing heatsink size in 1–3 kW power stages. |
| Qg max | 122 nC - Determines gate driver current requirement (~1.2 A peak for 100 ns rise time), critical for selecting compatible drivers like UCC27531. |
| EAS | 508 mJ - Confirmed single-pulse unclamped inductive switching capability, essential for reliability in motor drive snubberless designs. |
| RthJC | 0.5 °C/W - Allows direct mounting to heatsink with minimal thermal interface resistance; enables 250 W continuous operation at TC = 25 °C. |
| trr | 433 ns - Limits reverse recovery losses in bridge-leg configurations; requires careful gate drive timing to avoid shoot-through in half-bridge topologies. |
| ID cont @ 100 °C | 16 A - Defines usable current derating for sealed enclosures or ambient temperatures >70 °C without active cooling. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard 3-lead through-hole configuration. Mounting hole accommodates M3 screw; tab must be electrically isolated unless used as heatsink return path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | High-impedance input requiring ≤122 nC charge; sensitive to ESD; must be driven with low-inductance path to minimize ringing. |
| D (Drain) | Main current output / high-side switch node | Connected to internal die backside; tab is electrically tied to drain-requires isolation washer if mounted to grounded heatsink. |
| S (Source) | Reference node / current return | Common return for gate drive and load current; layout must minimize source inductance to preserve switching speed and stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low FOM (RDS(on) × Qg) | 17.7 Ω·nC - Balances conduction and switching loss trade-off better than legacy 650 V MOSFETs, improving full-load efficiency by ~0.5–1.2 % in 1 kW PFC. |
| Avalanche energy rating | 508 mJ - Eliminates need for external clamping circuits in inductive load switching, reducing BOM count in welding and motor control. |
| Low Ciss (2740 pF) | Reduces capacitive loading on gate driver, enabling use of lower-cost drivers and minimizing Miller-induced false turn-on risk. |
| Body diode Qrr = 7.3 μC | Enables predictable commutation in LLC resonant converters and reduces voltage overshoot during freewheeling in buck-derived topologies. |
| Lead (Pb)-free & Halogen-free option | SiHP24N65E-GE3 variant available - meets RoHS 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 requirements for green manufacturing compliance. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHP24N65E-E3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHP24N65E-E3 supports 16 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-220AB package and ensures safe operation within the 150 °C maximum junction temperature limit. Designers must verify heatsink performance to maintain TC ≤ 100 °C under full-load conditions.
Does SIHP24N65E-E3 have avalanche capability, and how is it rated?
Yes, SIHP24N65E-E3 is fully rated for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with EAS = 508 mJ at TJ = 25 °C. This rating is validated per JEDEC standard JESD24-11 and applies to single-pulse events. The device does not require external snubbers in properly designed inductive load circuits, enhancing system reliability in motor drives and welding equipment.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHP24N65E-E3, and how does it affect drive design?
The SIHP24N65E-E3 has a gate threshold voltage VGS(th) of 2–4 V at TJ = 25 °C. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drive while preventing accidental conduction from noise. Designers should use gate drivers capable of delivering ≥12 V to guarantee full enhancement and minimize RDS(on) variation across temperature and unit-to-unit spread.
How does the body diode performance of SIHP24N65E-E3 compare to standard MOSFETs in flyback applications?
The SIHP24N65E-E3 body diode features trr = 433 ns and Qrr = 7.3 μC at 25 °C, which is competitive among 650 V MOSFETs. While not optimized for synchronous rectification like dedicated FRDs, its recovery characteristics allow stable operation in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback converters up to 100 kHz when paired with appropriate gate timing and snubbing.
Is SIHP24N65E-E3 pin-compatible with other TO-220AB MOSFETs, and what mechanical considerations apply?
Yes, SIHP24N65E-E3 uses the industry-standard TO-220AB outline with G-D-S pinout and 2.54 mm lead pitch. The drain-connected tab requires electrical isolation (e.g., mica washer + thermal paste) when mounted to a grounded heatsink. Mounting torque must not exceed 0.5 N·m to avoid package cracking or bond wire damage.
