Product details
Overview
SIHP24N65E-GE3 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 EAS = 508 mJ. It serves as a high-voltage switching device in PFC and main-switch stages of server/telecom SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the SIHP24N65E-GE3 datasheet, SIHP24N65E-GE3 pinout, SIHP24N65E-GE3 application, or SIHP24N65E-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche ruggedness, low gate charge for ZVS/ZCS compatibility, thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.5 °C/W), and 650 V blocking capability under repetitive UIS stress.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology optimized for high-voltage hard-switching and resonant topologies. Its low Ciss (2740 pF) and ultra-low Qgd/Qg ratio (37/122 nC) reduce Miller-induced turn-off delay and improve controllability at high dV/dt (37 V/ns).
The integrated body diode supports bidirectional conduction in bridge configurations, with trr = 433 ns and Qrr = 7.3 μC at IF = 12 A - enabling use in synchronous rectification and active clamp circuits where reverse recovery behavior impacts efficiency and EMI.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 650 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with ≥30 % voltage margin for transient overvoltage in telecom/server PFC stages |
| RDS(on) max | 0.145 Ω @ 10 V - enables <2.1 W conduction loss at 12 A continuous drain current (TC = 100 °C) |
| Qg max | 122 nC - determines gate driver power requirement (~1.22 mW per MHz at 10 V swing) and influences switching speed control |
| EAS | 508 mJ - specifies single-pulse unclamped inductive switching robustness without external snubber in flyback or LLC primary switches |
| RthJC | 0.5 °C/W - allows 250 W dissipation with ≤125 °C junction rise above case, supporting forced-air-cooled 1–3 kW power stages |
| trr | 433 ns - defines minimum dead-time requirement in half-bridge operation to avoid shoot-through during diode commutation |
| ID continuous | 24 A @ TC = 25 °C - sets maximum RMS current capability in thermally constrained TO-220AB mounting without heatsink derating |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard 3-pin vertical lead frame. Mounting hole centered on tab; leads spaced 2.54 mm, pitch 5.08 mm. Tab electrically connected to drain terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; input capacitance Ciss = 2740 pF requires ≥1 A peak gate driver for 25 ns turn-on |
| D (Drain) | High-side power output | Connected to TO-220AB metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system ground referenced |
| S (Source) | Power return reference | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; source inductance directly impacts switching stability and dI/dt control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low FOM (RDS(on) × Qg) | 17.7 Ω·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for optimal efficiency in 100–300 kHz PFC boost converters |
| Avalanche-rated (UIS) | 508 mJ single-pulse energy - eliminates need for external clamping in inductive load switching applications like motor drives |
| Ultra-low Qgd | 37 nC - minimizes Miller plateau duration, improving hard-switching timing predictability and reducing gate drive losses |
| Low Ciss | 2740 pF - reduces capacitive loading on gate drivers and improves high-frequency gate control fidelity |
| Lead (Pb)-free & Halogen-free | Complies with RoHS 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709C - meets environmental requirements for industrial and telecom end equipment |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW24N65M5 | 650 V, 24 A, RDS(on) = 0.135 Ω, Qg = 95 nC, D2PAK package | Lower gate charge but non-isolated package requires insulating washer; lacks documented UIS rating | Preferred for space-constrained PCB layouts where thermal via count can compensate for higher RthJA |
| IXFH24N65X2 | 650 V, 24 A, RDS(on) = 0.125 Ω, Qg = 105 nC, TO-247AC package | Higher PD (312 W), lower RthJC (0.42 °C/W), but larger footprint and higher cost | Chosen when >250 W continuous dissipation or enhanced avalanche margin is required beyond SIHP24N65E-GE3's 508 mJ |
Compared with STW24N65M5 and IXFH24N65X2, the SIHP24N65E-GE3 offers best-in-class FOM for TO-220AB form factor, balanced avalanche ruggedness, and halogen-free compliance - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally managed 1–3 kW industrial and telecom power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHP24N65E-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHP24N65E-GE3 supports 16 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-220AB package and ensures safe operation within its 0.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance. The SIHP24N65E-GE3 maintains RDS(on) stability up to 150 °C junction temperature.
Does SIHP24N65E-GE3 have a fully rated avalanche capability, and what test conditions apply?
Yes, the SIHP24N65E-GE3 is rated for single-pulse unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with EAS = 508 mJ. Per datasheet note b, this is measured at VDD = 50 V, starting TJ = 25 °C, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 6 A. The SIHP24N65E-GE3 does not specify repetitive UIS rating.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHP24N65E-GE3, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
The SIHP24N65E-GE3 has a VGS(th) range of 2 V to 4 V at ID = 250 μA. This wide threshold supports robust noise immunity while ensuring full enhancement at 10 V gate drive. For reliable switching, the SIHP24N65E-GE3 requires ≥8 V to achieve specified RDS(on), and gate drive must avoid floating conditions near 3 V to prevent linear-mode operation.
How does the body diode performance of SIHP24N65E-GE3 compare to standard FRDs in PFC applications?
The SIHP24N65E-GE3 body diode exhibits trr = 433 ns and Qrr = 7.3 μC at IF = 12 A, which is slower than dedicated fast recovery diodes but sufficient for discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) PFC. In continuous conduction mode (CCM), the SIHP24N65E-GE3 body diode may increase losses; external diodes are recommended for >100 kHz CCM designs.
Is SIHP24N65E-GE3 compatible with standard TO-220 heatsinks, and what mounting considerations apply?
Yes, the SIHP24N65E-GE3 uses industry-standard TO-220AB mechanical dimensions and is compatible with common TO-220 heatsinks. However, its drain-connected tab requires electrical isolation (e.g., mica washer + thermal paste) unless the heatsink is system-ground referenced. Mounting torque must not exceed 0.5 N·m to avoid package damage - a critical specification for long-term SIHP24N65E-GE3 reliability.
