Product details
Overview
STB160N75F3 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET based on STripFET™ F3 technology, designed for high-current switching in DC-DC converters and motor drives. It delivers 75 V drain-source voltage rating, 3.7 mΩ maximum RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 120 A continuous drain current (package-limited), and 600 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - enabling robust operation in 48 V industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STB160N75F3 datasheet, STB160N75F3 pinout, STB160N75F3 application, or STB160N75F3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its D²PAK package thermal resistance (Rthj-pcb = 50 °C/W on 1 in² FR4), low gate charge (Qg = 85 nC), and fast switching (tr = 65 ns, tf = 15 ns) under 4.7 Ω gate drive.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's STripFET™ F3 process to achieve ultra-low on-resistance and high cell density while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching capability. Its gate threshold voltage (2–4 V) ensures compatibility with standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level drivers, and its 20 V/ns dv/dt rating supports stable operation in hard-switched topologies.
The device integrates a fast-recovery source-drain diode (trr = 70 ns, Qrr = 150 nC) optimized for synchronous rectification and freewheeling in buck and half-bridge configurations. Thermal design is anchored by a junction-to-case resistance of 0.45 °C/W and a maximum operating junction temperature of 175 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 75 V - Supports 48 V nominal bus systems with 50 % safety margin against transients. |
| RDS(on) max | 3.7 mΩ at VGS = 10 V - Enables ≤ 53 W conduction loss at 120 A, critical for high-efficiency power stages. |
| ID cont | 120 A at TC = 25 °C - Package-limited current capacity suitable for TO-220/TO-247/D²PAK footprint scalability. |
| Qg | 85 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed under fixed RG = 4.7 Ω. |
| EAS | 600 mJ - Specifies single-pulse avalanche ruggedness for reliable operation during inductive turn-off faults. |
| tr/tf | 65 ns / 15 ns - Defines minimum achievable dead time and EMI profile in PWM-controlled converters. |
| VSD | 1.5 V at ISD = 120 A - Low forward voltage of integrated body diode reduces freewheeling losses in non-synchronous designs. |
Pinout & Package
D²PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal performance and PCB-level heat dissipation. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Gate | Control terminal requiring ≤ ±20 V bias; low input capacitance (Ciss = 6750 pF) eases driver selection. |
| Pin 2 | Drain | High-side switch node connection; electrically tied to exposed metal tab for direct thermal coupling to heatsink or copper pour. |
| Pin 3 | Source | Power return path and reference for gate drive; must be routed with low inductance to minimize switching overshoot. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 3.7 mΩ enables <1 W conduction loss at 20 A, reducing thermal load in compact 48 V telecom PSUs. |
| 100 % avalanche tested | Guarantees 600 mJ single-pulse energy handling without parameter shift - eliminates need for external snubbers in flyback designs. |
| Low gate charge | 85 nC total gate charge allows use of low-power drivers (e.g., TC4427) while achieving <100 ns switching transitions. |
| Fast body diode recovery | 70 ns reverse recovery time and 150 nC Qrr reduce cross-conduction losses in synchronous buck topologies. |
| ECOPACK® compliant | Lead-free second-level interconnect meets RoHS and JEDEC JESD97 marking requirements for industrial environmental compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP160N75F3 | TO-220 package; RDS(on) = 4.0 mΩ; Rthj-case = 0.45 °C/W; same die but different leadform. | Requires through-hole assembly and heatsink mounting; less suitable for high-density automated SMT lines. | Select when mechanical mounting constraints favor through-hole or when legacy TO-220 footprint reuse is required. |
| IRFB4115PBF | 75 V, 3.2 mΩ, 110 A, TO-220; higher Qg (120 nC); no avalanche rating published. | Lacks guaranteed EAS spec; unsuitable for unclamped inductive loads without external protection. | Choose only in cost-sensitive, low-avalanche-risk applications where gate drive strength permits higher Qg. |
Compared with STP160N75F3, STB160N75F3 offers superior board-level thermal management via D²PAK's lower Rthj-pcb; versus IRFB4115PBF, it provides documented avalanche ruggedness and tighter RDS(on) tolerance - critical for mission-critical industrial power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for STB160N75F3?
The STB160N75F3 has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) of 175 °C and a storage temperature range of –55 to 175 °C. Its thermal resistance junction-to-PCB is 50 °C/W when mounted on 1 in² of 2 oz copper, enabling reliable operation at 120 A with appropriate board layout and ambient conditions below 85 °C.
Does STB160N75F3 support logic-level gate drive?
No - STB160N75F3 requires VGS = 10 V for full RDS(on) specification (3.7 mΩ). Its gate threshold voltage ranges from 2 V to 4 V, so it can turn on with 5 V logic, but RDS(on) rises significantly above 4.5 V; optimal performance demands 10 V gate drive per datasheet test conditions.
How does the body diode performance compare to discrete Schottky diodes?
The integrated body diode has VSD = 1.5 V at 120 A and trr = 70 ns, making it slower and higher-VF than most 45 V Schottkys (e.g., 0.55 V, 10 ns). However, its co-packaged integration eliminates layout parasitics and enables precise timing control in synchronous rectification - advantageous where layout space and EMI are constrained.
Is STB160N75F3 suitable for automotive applications?
STB160N75F3 is not qualified to AEC-Q101 and lacks automotive-grade screening or guaranteed PPAP documentation. While its 175 °C Tjmax and robust avalanche rating meet some under-hood thermal requirements, ST explicitly states non-automotive grade devices are used in automotive applications at user's own risk - it is intended for industrial and telecom power systems.
