Product details
Overview
SPI20N60C3HKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 20 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in PG-TO220-3-31 package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.18 Ω (typ) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, 15 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness, and repetitive avalanche rating up to 63 mJ. It serves as a high-efficiency main switch in offline SMPS, PFC stages, and motor drives operating at 400 V DC-link.
For engineers reviewing the SPI20N60C3HKSA1 datasheet, SPI20N60C3HKSA1 pinout, SPI20N60C3HKSA1 application, or SPI20N60C3HKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include confirmed 600 V VDSS, low gate charge (Qg = 46 nC), ultra-low RDS(on), avalanche energy rating (EAS = 63 mJ), and TO-220 full-isolation thermal performance.
Technical Context
This device uses Infineon's CoolMOS™ C3 technology - a superjunction MOSFET architecture enabling reduced specific on-resistance and improved figure-of-merit (RDS(on) × Qg). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.5–3.5 V) supports standard 10 V gate drivers, and its body diode exhibits trr = 270 ns with Qrr = 1.9 µC at IF = 10 A.
The MOSFET is rated for continuous drain current of 20 A at TC = 25 °C and 12 A at TC = 100 °C, with thermal resistance RthJC = 1.0 K/W. It supports hard-switched topologies with peak di/dt ≤ 400 A/µs and is qualified per JEDEC JESD22-A110 for humidity robustness.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 600 V - Withstands 400 V DC-link with ≥50 % margin in industrial SMPS |
| ID (cont.) | 20 A at TC = 25 °C - Supports ≥150 W conduction-limited output in TO-220 heatsinked designs |
| RDS(on) | 0.18 Ω (typ) at VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 10 A, critical for high-efficiency PFC |

Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO220-3-31 - Fully isolated plastic package with electrically insulated tab (633 V AC isolation, 1 min), optimized for vertical PCB mounting and direct heatsink attachment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Drain) | Main high-side current path | Connected to DC-link or transformer primary; tab is electrically tied to Drain |
| 2 (Gate) | Control input | Low-impedance CMOS-compatible node requiring <46 nC charge for full enhancement |
| 3 (Source) | Reference return path | Provides ground reference for gate drive and current sensing; isolated from heatsink |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) × Qg FoM | Enables >96 % efficiency in 65–100 kHz 1 kW PFC stages without forced air cooling |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Eliminates need for external clamping circuits in flyback and forward converters |
| High dv/dt immunity (15 V/ns) | Prevents spurious turn-on during high-slew-rate commutation in half-bridge motor drives |
| Optimized body diode recovery | trr = 270 ns and Qrr = 1.9 µC reduce switching losses in synchronous rectification and LLC resonant topologies |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP20NM60ND | RDS(on) = 0.22 Ω (typ); Qg = 52 nC; no specified dv/dt rating | Lacks documented 15 V/ns immunity - requires additional gate resistors in noisy motor drives | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-automotive SMPS where layout noise is controlled |
| IPP60R190C6 | RDS(on) = 0.19 Ω (typ); Qg = 42 nC; 650 V rating; higher price | Improved RDS(on) × Qg FoM but requires gate driver with tighter VGS tolerance (±0.5 V) | Preferred for high-density 1.5 kW PFC where board space and efficiency are prioritized over BOM cost |
Compared with STP20NM60ND and IPP60R190C6, SPI20N60C3HKSA1 delivers optimal balance of ruggedness (15 V/ns, 63 mJ), low-loss switching (46 nC, 0.18 Ω), and industrial-grade isolation - making it ideal for unattended, long-life equipment where reliability outweighs marginal FoM gains.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The maximum continuous case temperature (TC) is 100 °C per datasheet derating curves. At this temperature, the device supports 12 A continuous drain current. Exceeding 100 °C requires pulse-width or duty-cycle limitation per the Safe Operating Area (SOA) chart on page 12 of Rev. 3.2.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification?
No - the body diode has trr = 270 ns and Qrr = 1.9 µC, which causes significant reverse recovery loss in high-frequency synchronous rectification. It is designed for freewheeling in hard-switched topologies, not as a primary rectifier.
Does the PG-TO220-3-31 package require insulating hardware when mounted to a heatsink?
Yes - the tab is electrically connected to the Drain terminal. An insulating washer and shoulder washer must be used with M3 screws to maintain 633 V AC isolation between heatsink and circuit ground, as verified in the creepage/clearance test report SP000216354.
Can SPI20N60C3HKSA1 replace older SPI20N60C2 in existing designs?
Yes - it is a direct drop-in replacement with identical pinout, package, and VDSS/ID ratings. The C3 version improves RDS(on) by 12 % and reduces Qg by 8 %, yielding measurable efficiency gain without layout or driver changes.
