Product details
Overview
SPP15N65C3HKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 650 V, 15 A, N-channel superjunction MOSFET in TO-220-3 package, featuring 340 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and 175 °C junction temperature, optimized for high-efficiency switch-mode power supplies in industrial AC-DC adapters and LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the SPP15N65C3HKSA1 datasheet, SPP15N65C3HKSA1 pinout, SPP15N65C3HKSA1 application, or SPP15N65C3HKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on), gate charge (QG = 42 nC), Eoss (380 nJ), avalanche ruggedness (EAS = 490 mJ), and TO-220 thermal performance under continuous conduction mode.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Infineon's CoolMOS™ C3 technology, delivering reduced switching losses via low gate charge and optimized output capacitance (Coss = 450 pF). Its 650 V rating supports universal-input offline SMPS designs with margin for line surges.
The device integrates 100% avalanche-tested ruggedness and features a Kelvin source pin configuration in TO-220-3 to minimize source inductance-critical for high-frequency ZVS and resonant topologies like LLC converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 650 V - Supports 400 V DC bus with 25% safety margin for surge immunity in global AC mains applications. |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 15 A - Continuous drain current rating enabling 150–200 W power stages without forced air cooling. |
| RDS(on) max | 340 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, TJ = 175°C - Enables low conduction loss in PFC and main switch positions of two-stage PSUs. |
| QG | 42 nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables efficient operation at 65–100 kHz in hard-switched flyback and forward converters. |
| Eoss | 380 nJ @ VDS = 400 V - Low stored output energy improves light-load efficiency and reduces turn-off loss in resonant topologies. |
| EAS | 490 mJ - Fully rated single-pulse avalanche capability ensures robustness against transient overvoltage during startup or short-circuit events. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220-3 package with standard lead frame, isolated tab (drain-connected), and through-hole mounting. Thermal resistance RthJC = 1.2 K/W enables 15 A operation at TC ≤ 100°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Power return path for load current | Low-inductance connection point; used for Kelvin sensing in high-accuracy gate drive layouts. |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control terminal for channel conduction | High-impedance input requiring <42 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD and ringing. |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Main high-voltage power terminal | Internally connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Superjunction architecture | Enables 650 V breakdown with RDS(on) × A figure-of-merit < 1.5 Ω·mm² for compact, high-power-density designs. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees single-pulse EAS = 490 mJ without derating-eliminates need for external snubbers in cost-sensitive industrial PSUs. |
| Low QG/QGD ratio | Reduces Miller-induced shoot-through risk and simplifies gate driver selection for 12 V logic-level control. |
| Enhanced dV/dt ruggedness | Rated for 4.5 V/ns at 25 °C - maintains reliable operation in fast-switching LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge converters. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP15N65M2 | RDS(on) = 350 mΩ, QG = 45 nC, no Kelvin source | Lacks Kelvin source; higher gate drive loss in high-frequency ZVS designs | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs 3% efficiency gain and layout complexity is constrained. |
| IXTH15N65X2 | RDS(on) = 320 mΩ, QG = 38 nC, TO-247 package | Larger footprint and higher thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.85 K/W) requires larger heatsink | Chosen when peak efficiency >93% is mandatory and board space permits TO-247 mounting. |
Compared with STP15N65M2 and IXTH15N65X2, SPP15N65C3HKSA1 offers optimal balance of Kelvin-source-enabled layout flexibility, TO-220 thermal manageability, and 42 nC gate drive efficiency-making it ideal for space-constrained 150–200 W industrial power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate-source voltage for SPP15N65C3HKSA1?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V per Infineon's official datasheet. Operation above +20 V risks permanent gate oxide damage; typical drive uses +12 V to +15 V for full enhancement with margin. Gate drive circuits must include clamping (e.g., Zener diodes) to prevent overshoot during fast switching transients.
Does SPP15N65C3HKSA1 require a heatsink in 15 A continuous operation?
Yes. At ID = 15 A and TA = 50°C, junction temperature exceeds 175°C without heatsinking. With a 50 cm² aluminum heatsink (RthSA ≈ 10 K/W), TJ remains at ~115°C-within safe operating area. Thermal design must account for RthJC = 1.2 K/W and interface material resistance.
Can SPP15N65C3HKSA1 replace older CoolMOS™ C2 devices in existing designs?
Yes, with minor layout review. SPP15N65C3HKSA1 has identical pinout and voltage/current ratings but lower QG and Eoss. Gate drive strength may need adjustment to avoid excessive dV/dt; snubber networks can often be reduced or removed due to improved switching behavior.
Is the TO-220-3 package of SPP15N65C3HKSA1 electrically isolated?
No-the metal tab is internally connected to the drain terminal. Electrical isolation from the heatsink requires insulating hardware (e.g., silicone pad + shoulder washer) and verification of dielectric strength ≥2.5 kV RMS per IEC 60950-1. Direct mounting to grounded heatsink is only safe if drain is system ground referenced.
