Product details
Overview
SIHP25N40D-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 400 V, 25 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.17 Ω max RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 88 nC total gate charge, and 556 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - designed for high-efficiency switching in industrial SMPS and motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the SIHP25N40D-E3 datasheet, SIHP25N40D-E3 pinout, SIHP25N40D-E3 application, or SIHP25N40D-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400 V VDS rating, low 0.14 Ω typ RDS(on), fast 21 ns turn-on delay, robust body diode (353 ns trr), and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology with optimized cell layout to achieve low area-specific on-resistance and reduced input capacitance (1707 pF Ciss). Its gate threshold voltage range (3–5 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while maintaining noise immunity.
The device integrates an avalanche-rated body diode with 1.2 V forward voltage at 13 A and supports unclamped inductive switching up to 556 mJ. Thermal resistance from junction-to-case is 0.45 °C/W, enabling high-power operation with minimal heatsink requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP24N40FIAG | RDS(on) = 0.18 Ω (max), Qg = 95 nC, TO-220FP package (isolated tab) | Higher gate charge increases driver loss; same VDS/ID rating but lower avalanche energy (420 mJ) | Prefer SIHP25N40D-E3 where avalanche robustness and lower switching loss are critical |
| IXTH24N40L2 | RDS(on) = 0.19 Ω (max), Qg = 72 nC, TO-247AC package (higher thermal mass) | Lower Qg improves high-frequency efficiency; larger package requires PCB redesign | Choose IXTH24N40L2 only when higher thermal capacity justifies TO-247 footprint change |
Compared with STP24N40FIAG and IXTH24N40L2, SIHP25N40D-E3 delivers superior avalanche ruggedness (556 mJ vs. ≤420 mJ) and lowest RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit (15.0 Ω·nC), making it optimal for high-reliability industrial switching where transient immunity and conduction efficiency are jointly prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHP25N40D-E3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHP25N40D-E3 has a maximum continuous drain current of 16 A 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. The SIHP25N40D-E3 maintains stable RDS(on) performance across this range due to its positive VDS temperature coefficient.
Does SIHP25N40D-E3 support logic-level gate drive?
No, SIHP25N40D-E3 is not a logic-level MOSFET; its gate threshold voltage ranges from 3 V to 5 V, and it is characterized for RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. Driving the SIHP25N40D-E3 with only 5 V may result in incomplete turn-on and excessive conduction loss. Standard 10 V gate drivers are required to achieve the specified 0.17 Ω max RDS(on).
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for SIHP25N40D-E3?
The SIHP25N40D-E3 has a maximum junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC) of 0.45 °C/W, measured from junction to the drain tab. This value enables the SIHP25N40D-E3 to dissipate up to 278 W at TC = 25 °C, making it suitable for high-power applications when mounted on appropriately sized heatsinks with low thermal interface resistance.
Is SIHP25N40D-E3 suitable for avalanche-prone circuits like welders or motor drives?
Yes, the SIHP25N40D-E3 is explicitly rated for unclamped inductive switching with a guaranteed single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 556 mJ. This specification was validated per JEDEC standards using the test conditions in Note b (VDD = 50 V, L = 2.3 mH, Rg = 25 Ω). The SIHP25N40D-E3 is routinely deployed in welder primary switches and motor drive inverters where such transients occur.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of the integrated body diode in SIHP25N40D-E3?
The SIHP25N40D-E3 body diode has a typical reverse recovery time (trr) of 353 ns, measured at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 13 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs, and VR = 20 V. This parameter directly impacts dead-time design in synchronous rectifier and half-bridge configurations. The SIHP25N40D-E3's trr is confirmed in the "Drain-Source Body Diode Characteristics" section of the datasheet.
