Product details
Overview
SIHU7N60E-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 7 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in IPAK (TO-251) package, featuring RDS(on) ≤ 0.6 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 20–40 nC, and avalanche-rated (EAS = 43 mJ). It serves as a high-voltage switching element in primary-side SMPS and PFC stages of telecom and server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SIHU7N60E-E3 datasheet, SIHU7N60E-E3 pinout, SIHU7N60E-E3 application, or SIHU7N60E-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V VDS rating, low gate charge for reduced switching loss, TO-251 thermal performance (RthJC = 1.6 °C/W), and integrated body diode with trr = 230 ns and Qrr = 1.9 μC.
Technical Context
This device employs planar vertical DMOS technology optimized for high-voltage hard-switching applications. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2–4 V) ensures robust turn-on under standard 10 V gate drive, while dV/dt immunity (70 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C) supports reliable operation in noisy high-power environments.
The integrated body diode is rated for continuous source-drain current up to 7 A and pulsed current up to 18 A, with reverse recovery characteristics (trr, Qrr) specified at IF = 3.5 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs, and VR = 20 V - enabling use in freewheeling and synchronous rectification roles where controlled diode recovery is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 600 V - maximum blocking voltage for primary-side switch in offline 400 V DC bus applications |
| RDS(on) max | 0.6 Ω at VGS = 10 V, TJ = 25 °C - enables <7 W conduction loss at 3.5 A DC |
| Qg max | 40 nC - low total gate charge reduces driver power and switching transition time |
| EAS | 43 mJ - unclamped inductive switching energy rating confirms ruggedness in flyback and LLC resonant converters |
| tr/tf | 13–26 ns / 14–28 ns - fast switching transitions minimize overlap loss in hard-switched topologies |
| RthJC | 1.6 °C/W - low junction-to-case thermal resistance supports >70 W power dissipation with moderate heatsinking |
| ID cont | 7 A at TC = 25 °C - continuous drain current capability suitable for 100–300 W power stages |
Pinout & Package
IPAK (TO-251) package with exposed drain pad on underside for thermal and electrical connection. Three-terminal configuration: Gate (G), Drain (D), Source (S). Standard lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate | Control terminal; requires 10 V drive for full enhancement; input capacitance Ciss = 680 pF affects driver sizing |

| Avalanche energy rating (EAS) | 43 mJ - enables reliable operation without external snubbers in inductive load switching |
| Body diode trr and Qrr | 230 ns / 1.9 μC - supports ZVS-assisted topologies and reduces diode-induced EMI in PFC boost stages |
| High dV/dt immunity | 70 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C - prevents false turn-on during high dv/dt transients in high-frequency converters |
| Thermal resistance RthJC | 1.6 °C/W - allows direct mounting to heatsink via drain pad, simplifying thermal design for medium-power systems |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP7NK60ZFP | 600 V, 6.5 A, RDS(on) = 0.7 Ω, Qg = 42 nC, TO-220FP package | Higher RDS(on) and larger package footprint; lacks specified EAS rating | Acceptable where lower current rating and higher conduction loss are tolerable; requires larger heatsink due to TO-220FP thermal resistance |
| IPP60R099C6 | 600 V, 36 A, RDS(on) = 0.099 Ω, Qg = 63 nC, TO-220 package, CoolMOS™ superjunction | Lower RDS(on) but higher Qg; significantly higher cost and over-spec'd current rating | Overqualified for 7 A applications; justified only if future power scaling or ultra-low conduction loss is required |
Compared with STP7NK60ZFP and IPP60R099C6, the SIHU7N60E-E3 delivers optimal balance of 600 V ruggedness, 7 A current capability, low gate charge, and TO-251 thermal efficiency - making it a purpose-fit solution for cost-sensitive, medium-power SMPS and PFC designs without overengineering.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHU7N60E-E3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHU7N60E-E3 has a continuous drain current rating of 5 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the IPAK package and ensures safe operation under sustained high-temperature conditions typical in enclosed power supplies. The SIHU7N60E-E3 maintains RDS(on) stability across this range due to its positive VDS temperature coefficient.
Does SIHU7N60E-E3 have a specified avalanche energy rating, and how is it tested?
Yes, the SIHU7N60E-E3 is rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 43 mJ, tested per JEDEC standard with VDD = 50 V, starting TJ = 25 °C, L = 13.8 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 2.5 A. This rating confirms the device can safely absorb inductive energy without failure during transient overvoltage events, a key requirement in flyback and resonant converter designs where the SIHU7N60E-E3 is commonly deployed.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHU7N60E-E3, and why does it matter for gate drive design?
The SIHU7N60E-E3 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2–4 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while providing noise margin against spurious turn-on. For robust operation, gate drive must exceed 4 V minimum and be stabilized to avoid operation near the threshold region where RDS(on) increases sharply - a critical consideration in high-efficiency designs using the SIHU7N60E-E3.
How does the body diode performance of SIHU7N60E-E3 compare to standard silicon diodes in PFC applications?
The SIHU7N60E-E3 body diode exhibits trr = 230 ns and Qrr = 1.9 μC at IF = 3.5 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs, and VR = 20 V - significantly faster and lower-charge than general-purpose FRDs, though slower than dedicated SiC Schottky diodes. In PFC boost stages, this enables acceptable efficiency without requiring external diode replacement, especially when used with zero-current switching techniques that mitigate reverse recovery impact in the SIHU7N60E-E3.
Is SIHU7N60E-E3 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the SIHU7N60E-E3 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering with a peak temperature of 300 °C for 10 seconds, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings. Its IPAK (TO-251) package uses lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free terminations, fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. This makes the SIHU7N60E-E3 suitable for modern SMT assembly lines without requiring special thermal profiling beyond standard Pb-free profiles.
