Product details
Overview
SIHP6N80E-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an 800 V, 5.4 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.82 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 44 nC total gate charge, and 95 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy-designed for high-voltage SMPS, PFC, and solar inverter primary-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the SIHP6N80E-BE3 datasheet, SIHP6N80E-BE3 pinout, SIHP6N80E-BE3 application, or SIHP6N80E-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 800 V VDS, low Qg/RDS(on) figure-of-merit, UIS-rated ruggedness, and TO-220AB thermal performance (RthJC = 1.6 °C/W) in high-reliability industrial power stages.
Technical Context
This device operates as a high-voltage, medium-current unidirectional switch with integrated body diode, optimized for hard-switched topologies where conduction loss and switching loss trade-offs are critical. Its 827 pF Ciss, 37 pF Coss, and 5 pF Crss support fast turn-on/turn-off with controlled dv/dt (70 V/ns max at TJ = 125 °C).
The MOSFET exhibits a positive VDS temperature coefficient (1.1 V/°C), enabling current sharing in parallel configurations, and maintains stable 2.0–4.0 V VGS(th) across -55 to +150 °C operating range-ensuring robust gate drive margin in wide-temperature industrial environments.
Key Specifications

| VDS max | 800 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 2× safety margin for transient overvoltage in PFC and PV inverters |
| RDS(on) typ | 0.82 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - enables ≤4.2 W conduction loss at 3.2 A RMS in continuous conduction mode PFC |
| Qg max | 44 nC - reduces gate driver power demand and switching transition time in 50–100 kHz SMPS |
| EAS | 95 mJ - withstands unclamped inductive energy during fault conditions without failure in motor drives or welders |
| RthJC | 1.6 °C/W - allows 78 W dissipation with ≤125 °C junction rise above 25 °C case, supporting forced-air-cooled 500 W supplies |
| Ciss | 827 pF - limits Miller-induced shoot-through risk and eases gate drive design in half-bridge configurations |
| VGS(th) | 2.0–4.0 V - ensures reliable turn-on with standard 12 V gate drivers while avoiding false triggering from noise |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated drain tab, standard 3-pin through-hole mounting, and 1.6 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance. Drain (D) connects directly to the metal tab for efficient heatsinking; Gate (G) and Source (S) are lead-formed for PCB insertion.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate control input | Receives voltage-controlled signal to modulate channel conductivity; requires <44 nC charge for full enhancement |
| D | Drain high-side power terminal | Carries main load current; electrically connected to metal tab for direct heatsink attachment and low-inductance return path |
| S | Source reference and return | Serves as common reference for gate drive and current sensing; forms body diode cathode for freewheeling paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low FOM (RDS(on) × Qg) | 36.1 Ω·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for optimal efficiency in 65–100 kHz telecom PSUs |
| Avalanche-rated (UIS) | 95 mJ single-pulse - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching like welding inverters |
| Low Ciss and Crss | 827 pF / 5 pF - minimizes Miller feedback, enabling stable operation with moderate gate resistance (9.1 Ω typical) |
| High dv/dt immunity | 70 V/ns at 125 °C - suppresses false turn-on during fast voltage transients in high-side configurations |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP8NK80ZFP | 800 V, 7.5 A, RDS(on) = 0.85 Ω, Qg = 42 nC, TO-220FP package (full-pack) | Higher ID rating but 20% higher RthJA; suited for lower-power-density designs with limited heatsinking | Select when higher pulsed current headroom is required and case temperature remains below 95 °C |
| IXTH6N80L | 800 V, 6.0 A, RDS(on) = 0.95 Ω, Qg = 32 nC, TO-247AC package | Lower Qg but higher RDS(on); superior RthJC (0.83 °C/W) enables higher continuous power in compact heatsinks | Select when gate drive power is constrained and thermal interface resistance is minimized |
Compared with STP8NK80ZFP and IXTH6N80L, SIHP6N80E-BE3 delivers the lowest RDS(on) × Qg FOM in TO-220AB, making it optimal for space-constrained 500–800 W industrial supplies where both efficiency and board area matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHP6N80E-BE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHP6N80E-BE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 3.4 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-220AB package and must be applied in thermal design calculations for sustained operation. The SIHP6N80E-BE3 maintains stable RDS(on) up to 150 °C junction temperature, supporting reliable performance in enclosed industrial enclosures.
Does SIHP6N80E-BE3 have avalanche energy rating, and how is it tested?
Yes, the SIHP6N80E-BE3 is rated for 95 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) under defined test conditions: VDD = 140 V, starting TJ = 25 °C, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 2.6 A. This rating confirms ruggedness against inductive switching transients. The SIHP6N80E-BE3 is not rated for repetitive avalanche; designers must ensure system-level protection prevents repeated stress events.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHP6N80E-BE3, and why does it matter for drive circuit design?
The SIHP6N80E-BE3 has a VGS(th) range of 2.0–4.0 V at TJ = 25 °C, measured with VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10–12 V gate drivers while preventing spurious conduction from noise or leakage. For robust operation, gate drive should exceed 10 V to fully enhance the channel and minimize RDS(on)-a key requirement for the SIHP6N80E-BE3 to achieve its 0.82 Ω typical on-resistance.
How does the body diode performance of SIHP6N80E-BE3 compare to discrete diodes in flyback or LLC resonant converters?
The SIHP6N80E-BE3 features a body diode with VSD = 1.2 V at IS = 3 A and TJ = 25 °C, and trr = 282–564 ns. While slower than ultrafast discrete diodes, its integrated nature eliminates layout parasitics and simplifies bill-of-materials. In flyback snubberless designs or LLC freewheeling paths, the SIHP6N80E-BE3's body diode provides adequate recovery behavior-especially when paired with soft-switching topologies that reduce di/dt stress.
Is SIHP6N80E-BE3 suitable for use in PFC boost stages, and what thermal considerations apply?
Yes, the SIHP6N80E-BE3 is widely used in continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC boost stages due to its 800 V VDS, low RDS(on), and high EAS. At 3 A RMS current, conduction loss is ~7.4 W; combined with switching loss, total dissipation may reach 12–15 W. With RthJC = 1.6 °C/W, a heatsink maintaining TC ≤ 75 °C is required to hold TJ ≤ 150 °C. The SIHP6N80E-BE3's TO-220AB package supports direct mounting to aluminum extrusions or stamped heatsinks.
