Product details
Overview
STD2NK70Z-1 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 700 V, 6 Ω (typ), 1.6 A SuperMESH™ MOSFET in IPAK (TO-251) package, featuring integrated gate-source Zener protection, 100% avalanche tested, and optimized for high dv/dt capability in flyback SMPS for battery chargers and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STD2NK70Z-1 datasheet, STD2NK70Z-1 pinout, STD2NK70Z-1 application, or STD2NK70Z-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 700 V VDSS, 6 Ω RDS(on), 45 W PTOT, Zener-protected gate, and IPAK thermal performance for high-reliability offline switching.
Technical Context
This device implements ST's SuperMESH™ topology - a refined strip-based PowerMESH™ layout - to simultaneously reduce on-resistance and enhance ruggedness against voltage transients. Its gate-source Zener diodes (±30 V breakdown) provide intrinsic ESD and transient overvoltage protection without external components.
The MOSFET is rated for unclamped inductive switching with 110 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) at Tj = 25 °C and supports repetitive avalanche up to 1.6 A (IAR). Its 4.5 V/ns dv/dt capability ensures stable operation during fast voltage transitions in flyback and single-ended SMPS topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 700 V - Withstands peak drain-source voltage in 230 VAC offline applications with margin. |
| RDS(on) | 6 Ω (typ) at VGS = 10 V - Enables low conduction loss in <1.6 A continuous current designs. |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 1.6 A - Continuous drain current rating under heatsink-cooled conditions. |
| PTOT | 45 W - Maximum power dissipation at case temperature of 25°C; derates 0.36 W/°C above. |
| dv/dt Capability | 4.5 V/ns - Sustains rapid voltage transients during diode recovery without spurious turn-on. |
| EAS | 110 mJ - Energy absorbed during single-pulse unclamped inductive switching without failure. |
| VGS(th) | 3.0–4.5 V - Threshold voltage range enabling reliable gate drive with standard 10 V logic-level controllers. |
Pinout & Package
STD2NK70Z-1 uses the TO-251 (IPAK) package: three-terminal surface-mount outline with exposed drain pad for thermal conduction and mechanical robustness. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives gate drive signal; protected by integrated ±30 V Zener diode. |
| 2 (Drain) | High-voltage power terminal | Connected to switched high-side node (e.g., primary winding of flyback transformer); electrically tied to exposed metal tab. |
| 3 (Source) | Reference and return path | Serves as power ground reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance connection critical for switching stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated back-to-back Zener diodes clamp VGS to ±30 V, eliminating need for external gate protection components. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated for unclamped inductive switching reliability - critical for flyback snubberless designs. |
| Extremely high dv/dt capability | Rated 4.5 V/ns - prevents false triggering during fast voltage transitions in high-frequency SMPS. |
| SuperMESH™ optimized layout | Reduces RDS(on) while maintaining high breakdown voltage - achieves benchmark 700 V / 6 Ω trade-off. |
Applications
| Battery Charger Flyback | Industrial SMPS |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolated 12–24 V output charger for lead-acid or Li-ion packs using discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side high-voltage switch controlling energy transfer timing and regulating output via optocoupler feedback.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP2NK70Z | TO-220 package; identical electrical specs but higher Rthj-amb (62.5 °C/W vs 100 °C/W for IPAK). | Requires larger heatsink; unsuitable for ultra-thin or surface-mount-only layouts. | Select when through-hole assembly and higher thermal mass are acceptable. |
| FQP7N70C | 700 V, 7 Ω RDS(on), no integrated gate Zener; lower ESD rating (1.5 kV HBM vs 2 kV). | Lacks intrinsic gate protection - mandates external Zener/clamp in noisy environments. | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs design-in robustness and BOM simplification. |
Compared with STP2NK70Z and FQP7N70C, STD2NK70Z-1 uniquely combines IPAK surface-mount compatibility, integrated ±30 V gate Zener protection, and 100% avalanche testing - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability flyback converters where gate robustness and thermal performance are co-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for STD2NK70Z-1?
The absolute maximum operating junction temperature (Tj) is 150 °C. Operation beyond this limit risks permanent degradation of the silicon die and Zener protection structure. Thermal design must ensure Tj remains ≤150 °C under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions, using the specified Rthj-case = 2.78 °C/W and derating factor of 0.36 W/°C.
Does STD2NK70Z-1 require an external gate resistor for stability?
Yes - a gate resistor (typically 4.7 Ω, per datasheet test condition) is required to dampen ringing and control switching speed. The device's low Qg (11.4 nC) and Ciss (280 pF) make it sensitive to PCB layout parasitics; improper gate drive impedance can cause oscillation or excessive EMI in flyback applications.
Can STD2NK70Z-1 replace STD2NK70Z in existing designs?
Yes - STD2NK70Z-1 is the IPAK (TO-251) variant of STD2NK70Z (DPAK/TO-252), sharing identical electrical specifications including VDSS, RDS(on), ID, and avalanche ratings. Mechanical replacement requires footprint revision to accommodate TO-251 dimensions and thermal pad layout, but no circuit redesign is needed.
Is the source-drain body diode suitable for continuous freewheeling in flyback operation?
No - the body diode has limited reverse recovery performance (trr = 334 ns at 25 °C) and is not optimized for sustained conduction. In flyback designs, it conducts only during the off-time reset phase; continuous freewheeling would exceed its SOA limits. External synchronous rectification or proper transformer design is recommended for high-duty-cycle applications.
