Product details
Overview
SPA15N60C3 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 15 A N-channel CoolMOS™ C3 superjunction power MOSFET in PG-TO220FP package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.28 Ω at Tj = 25°C, ultra-low gate charge (Qg = 63 nC), and periodic avalanche rating. It serves as a high-efficiency primary-side switch in offline SMPS, PFC stages, and industrial AC-DC converters operating up to 150°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the SPA15N60C3 datasheet, SPA15N60C3 pinout, SPA15N60C3 application, or SPA15N60C3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50 V/ns dv/dt capability, 460 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, 0.8 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and full isolation rating (2500 VAC, 1 min) - critical for high-reliability 600 V hard-switched topologies.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Infineon's third-generation CoolMOS™ C3 technology, optimized for reduced conduction and switching losses via ultra-low Qgd/Qgs ratio (29 nC / 7 nC) and minimized effective output capacitance (Co(er) = 80 pF). Its transconductance (gfs = 11.9 S) and gate plateau voltage (5 V) support stable PWM control under wide VGS margin.
The device integrates a robust body diode with trr = 460 ns, Qrr = 27 µC, and Irrm = 55 A, enabling reliable operation in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback and LLC resonant converters without external snubbing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 600 V - supports 400 V DC-link designs with 50% safety margin for surge and ringing |
| RDS(on) | 0.28 Ω @ Tj = 25°C - enables ≤2.5 W conduction loss at 9.4 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 63 nC - reduces gate drive power and allows use of low-power drivers like 1EDN7512B |
| EAS | 460 mJ - withstands single-pulse inductive turn-off stress in 50 V clamp circuits |
| dv/dt rating | 50 V/ns @ Tj = 125°C - suppresses false triggering in high-noise bridge-leg environments |
| RthJC | 0.8 K/W - permits 156 W dissipation at TC = 25°C with minimal heatsink requirement |
| tr/tf | 5 ns / 5–10 ns - enables >500 kHz switching in ZVS/ZCS topologies with low EMI |
Pinout & Package
SPA15N60C3 uses the PG-TO220FP (FullPAK) package: isolated plastic case, 3-pin vertical mount, 2500 VAC isolation between drain and mounting base for 1 minute. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab-connected), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; input capacitance Ciss = 1660 pF shapes gate loop design |
| Pin 2 (Drain) | High-voltage power terminal | Internally connected to metal tab; requires insulated mounting for isolation compliance |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Reference node | Serves as return path for gate drive and load current; defines local ground for driver IC placement |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low gate charge | Qg = 63 nC - cuts gate drive loss by >40% vs. standard 600 V MOSFETs |
| Periodic avalanche rated | EAR = 0.8 mJ - supports repetitive inductive switching without derating in PFC boost stages |
| Extreme dv/dt immunity | 50 V/ns at 125°C - eliminates need for gate resistors >10 Ω in half-bridge configurations |
| Low effective output capacitance | Co(er) = 80 pF - reduces turn-off loss and improves ZVS initiation in resonant converters |
| Isolated package | 2500 VAC, 1 min isolation - removes need for insulating pads in heatsink-mounted designs |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP15N60DM6 | RDS(on) = 0.32 Ω, Qg = 52 nC, no avalanche rating | Lacks periodic avalanche rating; unsuitable for unclamped inductive loads | Prefer when gate drive power is constrained but avalanche stress is absent |
| IPP60R190C7 | RDS(on) = 0.19 Ω, Qg = 54 nC, 650 V rating, TO-220FP | Lower RDS(on) but higher cost; same isolation and footprint | Choose for higher efficiency at >10 A continuous, accepting premium pricing |
Compared with STP15N60DM6 and IPP60R190C7, SPA15N60C3 uniquely balances 600 V ruggedness, 460 mJ avalanche capability, and 0.28 Ω conduction loss in a certified isolated package - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, reliability-critical 600 V SMPS where transient overvoltage and thermal cycling are dominant failure modes.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The SPA15N60C3 supports 9.4 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value accounts for thermal derating due to junction-to-case resistance (0.8 K/W) and ensures safe operation within the 150°C maximum junction temperature limit under sustained load conditions.
Does the PG-TO220FP package require an insulating pad when mounted to a heatsink?
No - the PG-TO220FP package provides 2500 VAC isolation between the drain (metal tab) and the mounting surface for 1 minute, per IEC 60747-17. No insulating pad is required unless system-level safety standards demand additional creepage distance beyond the package's certified isolation.
Can SPA15N60C3 replace SPP15N60C3 in existing designs?
Yes - both share identical electrical specifications, thermal characteristics, and pinout. The SPA variant uses the FullPAK (PG-TO220FP) package with isolated tab, while SPP uses standard PG-TO220. Replacement is direct if mechanical mounting and isolation requirements align; verify heatsink interface and creepage in layout.
What is the typical reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of the integrated body diode?
The body diode exhibits Qrr = 27 µC under test conditions of VR = 480 V, IF = 15 A, and diF/dt = 100 A/µs at Tj = 25°C. This low Qrr minimizes commutation loss and EMI in DCM flyback and quasi-resonant topologies.
