Product details
Overview
SIHP24N65EF-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 650 V, 24 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring fast body diode (trr = 170 ns, Qrr = 1.4 µC), ultra-low gate charge (Qg = 81 nC typ.), and low RDS(on) of 0.13 Ω at VGS = 10 V. It is engineered for high-efficiency, high-frequency switching in solar inverters and phase-shifted bridge SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the SIHP24N65EF-GE3 datasheet, SIHP24N65EF-GE3 pinout, SIHP24N65EF-GE3 application, or SIHP24N65EF-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche energy rating (EAS = 691 mJ), dV/dt ruggedness (37 V/ns), and fast reverse recovery performance critical for ZVS topologies and PV inverter leg switching.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Vishay's E Series technology to optimize switching efficiency via reduced Qrr, trr, and IRRM-enabling lower turn-off losses in hard- and soft-switching converters. Its low Ciss (2656 pF) and Co(er) (96 pF) support stable gate drive and reduced capacitive losses at high dv/dt.
The device integrates an avalanche-rated body diode with controlled reverse recovery (dI/dt = 100 A/µs, VR = 25 V), making it suitable for unclamped inductive switching and resonant topologies where diode conduction occurs during dead time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 650 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 30 % margin for transient overvoltage in solar inverters and telecom PSUs |
| RDS(on) max | 0.156 Ω at VGS = 10 V, TJ = 25 °C - enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 12 A continuous current |
| Qg max | 122 nC - reduces gate driver power requirement and allows use of lower-cost drivers in 100–300 kHz SMPS |
| trr / Qrr | 170 ns / 1.4 µC - minimizes diode reverse recovery loss and EMI in phase-shifted full-bridge and LCC resonant converters |
| EAS | 691 mJ - provides robust single-pulse avalanche capability for inductive load switching without external snubbers |
| RthJC | 0.5 °C/W - enables high-power dissipation (250 W) with standard heatsink mounting in industrial power modules |
Pinout & Package
SIHP24N65EF-GE3 is housed in a through-hole TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standardized lead spacing (2.54 mm), and heatsink-compatible mounting hole. The package meets JEDEC TO-220AB mechanical specifications (Document 71195) and supports >250 W thermal dissipation with proper heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control terminal for channel modulation | Low-input-capacitance node (Ciss = 2656 pF); requires <122 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD (±20 V rating) |
| D (Drain) | Main high-side current path and thermal interface | Internally connected to metal tab; electrically isolated from mounting surface per TO-220AB spec; carries full load current and dissipates heat directly to heatsink |
| S (Source) | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Common connection point for source current and gate drive return; must be routed with low inductance to minimize ringing during switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast body diode | trr = 170 ns and Qrr = 1.4 µC enable efficient synchronous rectification and ZVS operation without external diodes |
| Low Qg × RDS(on) FOM | 122 nC × 0.156 Ω = 19.0 - benchmark figure-of-merit for high-voltage MOSFETs targeting high-frequency efficiency |
| Avalanche rated | EAS = 691 mJ ensures reliable operation under unclamped inductive switching stress without derating |
| dV/dt ruggedness | 37 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C prevents false turn-on during high-speed voltage transients in bridge-leg configurations |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW24N65M5 | RDS(on) = 0.145 Ω, Qg = 75 nC, trr = 190 ns, no UIS rating | Lacks avalanche energy rating; requires external clamping in inductive switching | Prefer SIHP24N65EF-GE3 where unclamped inductive stress or reliability-critical operation is required |
| IXFH24N65X2 | RDS(on) = 0.14 Ω, Qg = 78 nC, trr = 150 ns, EAS = 520 mJ | Lower EAS and higher dV/dt sensitivity (28 V/ns) limit robustness in high-noise industrial environments | SIHP24N65EF-GE3 offers superior avalanche margin and higher dV/dt immunity for mission-critical SMPS |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHP24N65EF-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHP24N65EF-GE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 15 A at TC = 100 °C, derated linearly from 24 A at TC = 25 °C using a 2 W/°C derating factor. This reflects its thermal design for high-power density applications where heatsink temperature exceeds ambient, such as enclosed industrial power supplies.
Does SIHP24N65EF-GE3 have a fully rated avalanche capability, and what is its EAS value?
Yes, SIHP24N65EF-GE3 is fully rated for single-pulse avalanche with EAS = 691 mJ under specified test conditions (VDD = 50 V, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, IAS = 7 A). This rating is validated per JEDEC standards and enables reliable operation in unclamped inductive switching without external protection components.
What is the typical gate-to-source threshold voltage range for SIHP24N65EF-GE3?
The SIHP24N65EF-GE3 has a gate-to-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2 V to 4 V at TJ = 25 °C and ID = 250 µA. This ensures robust turn-on with standard 10 V gate drive while maintaining noise immunity in high-dV/dt environments typical of bridge configurations.
How does the fast body diode of SIHP24N65EF-GE3 improve performance in resonant topologies?
The SIHP24N65EF-GE3 features a fast body diode with trr = 170 ns and Qrr = 1.4 µC, reducing reverse recovery losses and associated EMI in resonant converters like LLC and phase-shifted bridges. This allows precise ZVS timing and improves system efficiency by minimizing shoot-through risk and voltage spikes during dead-time conduction.
Is SIHP24N65EF-GE3 lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free, and which compliance standards does it meet?
Yes, SIHP24N65EF-GE3 is lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free, compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709A standards. The "-GE3" suffix explicitly denotes Vishay's Green Electronics packaging, verified per material categorization document 99912.
