Product details
Overview
SPP04N60C2 from STMicroelectronics is a 600 V, 4 A N-channel superjunction power MOSFET in TO-220-3 package, featuring RDS(on) = 1.4 Ω (max) at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, ultra-low gate charge (Qg = 18 nC), and 100% avalanche-rated operation. It serves as a high-voltage, high-efficiency switching element in offline SMPS primary-side switches, PFC stages, and industrial AC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SPP04N60C2 datasheet, SPP04N60C2 pinout, SPP04N60C2 application, or SPP04N60C2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V VDSS, 4 A ID continuous rating at TC = 100 °C, 1.4 Ω RDS(on), 18 nC total gate charge, and 15 V/ns di/dt capability - all critical for hard-switched flyback and boost topologies.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's proprietary SuperMESH™ C2 technology to achieve optimized trade-offs between conduction loss (via low RDS(on)) and switching loss (via reduced Qg and Ciss). Its fully isolated TO-220-3 package enables direct heatsink mounting without insulation washers.
The device supports repetitive avalanche operation up to EAS = 0.65 mJ per pulse and features a fast body diode with trr = 170 ns and Qrr = 1.2 µC at IF = 2 A, making it suitable for quasi-resonant and ZVS designs where diode recovery behavior impacts efficiency and EMI.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 600 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 400 V RMS (e.g., 565 V peak) with margin for surge and ringing in offline applications. |
| ID (TC = 100 °C) | 4 A - Continuous drain current rating at case temperature, enabling use in 30–50 W SMPS without forced airflow. |
| RDS(on) (max) | 1.4 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25 °C - Sets conduction loss floor; increases to ~1.9 Ω at Tj = 125 °C. |
| Qg | 18 nC - Low gate drive energy reduces driver losses and enables higher-frequency operation (>100 kHz) with standard gate drivers. |
| EAS | 0.65 mJ - Rated single-pulse avalanche energy ensures robustness against inductive switching transients without external snubbers. |
| trr / Qrr | 170 ns / 1.2 µC - Fast, soft-recovery body diode minimizes voltage overshoot and cross-conduction loss in half-bridge and LLC resonant converters. |
| dv/dt immunity | 15 V/ns - High intrinsic noise immunity prevents spurious turn-on during high-slew-rate switching events. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220-3 (full-pack, isolated tab). The metal tab is electrically connected to the drain terminal and thermally coupled to the die for efficient heat transfer to an external heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <1 µA static bias; driven by logic-level or dedicated gate driver ICs. |
| 2 (Drain) | High-voltage power output | Connected to DC bus or transformer primary; tab is drain-connected and must be insulated from chassis unless referenced to same potential. |
| 3 (Source) | Power return / reference node | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; source inductance directly impacts switching speed and oscillation risk. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Superjunction architecture | Enables 600 V breakdown with RDS(on) comparable to lower-voltage MOSFETs, reducing conduction loss in high-input-voltage topologies. |
| Ultra-low Qg (18 nC) | Reduces gate drive power and allows use of smaller, lower-cost gate drivers - especially beneficial in multi-MOSFET systems like PFC + LLC combos. |
| 100% avalanche rated | Guarantees safe operation under unclamped inductive switching conditions without derating, simplifying reliability validation. |
| Fast, soft-recovery body diode | Minimizes reverse recovery losses and associated EMI in hard-switched converters, eliminating need for external anti-parallel SiC Schottky diodes in many 30–60 W designs. |
Applications
| AC-DC Adapter Primary Switch | Industrial PFC Boost Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 36 W universal-input (90–264 VAC) flyback adapter powering IoT gateways. IC Role / Device Role: Main high-side switch in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback converter. Use Value: 1.4 Ω RDS(on) and 18 nC Qg enable >88% efficiency at full load while maintaining thermal rise <45 K on 25 cm² heatsink. | Use Scenario: Active boost PFC front-end in 1 kW industrial motor drive power supply. IC Role / Device Role: Switching element in continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost converter operating at 65 kHz. Use Value: Avalanche rating and 15 V/ns dv/dt immunity prevent failure during line surges and load transients common in factory environments. |
| LED Driver Secondary-Side Switch | UPS Inverter Half-Bridge |
Use Scenario: 100 W constant-current LED driver with integrated dimming and overvoltage protection. IC Role / Device Role: Low-side synchronous rectifier control switch in secondary-side regulation circuit. Use Value: Fast trr (170 ns) and low Qrr (1.2 µC) reduce switching losses and improve thermal stability during PWM dimming cycles. | Use Scenario: 500 VA online UPS inverter stage delivering pure sine wave output. IC Role / Device Role: High-side switch in 50 kHz half-bridge inverter driving LC filter. Use Value: Fully isolated TO-220-3 package eliminates need for gate drive isolation transformers, simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM count. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPP60R190C6 | RDS(on) = 0.19 Ω (higher current, 650 V), Qg = 32 nC - larger die, higher conduction efficiency but slower switching. | Better suited for >100 W continuous conduction mode PFC where conduction loss dominates. | Select when thermal budget allows larger heatsink and system prioritizes efficiency over switching frequency. |
| STP4NK60Z | RDS(on) = 1.6 Ω (slightly higher), Qg = 14 nC (lower), no guaranteed avalanche rating - older Zener-protected planar process. | Limited to non-critical consumer adapters where cost is primary and surge immunity is managed externally. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-reliability applications with controlled line conditions and no requirement for unclamped inductive switching robustness. |
Compared with IPP60R190C6 and STP4NK60Z, the SPP04N60C2 delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and guaranteed avalanche ruggedness - making it the preferred choice for mid-power industrial and medical SMPS where reliability and design simplicity are mandatory.

FAQ
Is the SPP04N60C2 pin-compatible with standard TO-220-3 MOSFETs?
Yes - it uses industry-standard TO-220-3 mechanical footprint and pinout (Gate-Drain-Source), allowing drop-in replacement in existing layouts. However, its lower RDS(on) and higher dv/dt immunity may require minor gate resistor tuning to optimize switching behavior and EMI performance.
Does the SPP04N60C2 require a gate driver IC, or can it be driven directly from a microcontroller?
A microcontroller GPIO cannot safely drive this MOSFET due to insufficient peak current (≥1 A recommended) and voltage swing (10 V needed for full RDS(on) reduction). A dedicated gate driver IC such as STMicro's STGAP2SIC or TI's UCC27531 is required for reliable, low-loss switching.
What is the maximum junction temperature and how does it affect RDS(on)?
Tj(max) is 150 °C. RDS(on) increases linearly with temperature: typical value rises from 1.15 Ω at 25 °C to ~1.9 Ω at 125 °C. Thermal design must ensure Tj stays below 150 °C under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions.
Can the body diode be used for synchronous rectification in a flyback converter?
No - the body diode is not optimized for synchronous rectification. Its Qrr (1.2 µC) and trr (170 ns) are significantly higher than those of discrete Schottky or GaN FETs. For synchronous rectification, a dedicated low-Qrr MOSFET or Schottky diode should be used on the secondary side.
