Product details
Overview
STD3NK60ZD from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 600 V, 3.3 Ω (max), 2.4 A SuperFREDMesh™ Power MOSFET in DPAK package, featuring 100% avalanche tested operation, 15 V/ns dv/dt capability, and integrated fast recovery body diode-used in offline SMPS, PFC stages, and industrial motor control inverters.
For engineers reviewing the STD3NK60ZD datasheet, STD3NK60ZD pinout, STD3NK60ZD application, or STD3NK60ZD equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V blocking voltage, low gate charge (11.8 nC), fast diode recovery (98 ns trr), thermal resistance (Rthj-pcb = 50 °C/W), and DPAK footprint compatibility with high-voltage switching layouts.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's SuperFREDMesh™ process, combining Zener-protected gate structure with minimized intrinsic capacitances (Ciss = 311 pF, Crss = 8 pF) and optimized charge distribution to enable robust high-dv/dt switching at 600 V. Its internal fast-recovery body diode supports synchronous rectification and inductive load commutation without external diodes.
The device operates across –55 °C to 150 °C junction temperature range, delivers 150 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, and maintains stable RDS(on) up to 100 °C case temperature-enabling reliable use in thermally constrained industrial power supplies and AC-DC adapters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 600 V - supports primary-side switching in universal-input offline converters up to 265 VAC mains. |
| RDS(on) max | 3.3 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 1.2 A - enables low conduction loss in <3 W output SMPS designs. |
| ID (continuous) | 2.4 A @ TC = 25 °C - suitable for medium-power flyback or forward converter primary switches. |
| Qg / Qgd | 11.8 nC / 6.4 nC - reduces gate drive power and enables efficient operation with standard 10 V logic-level drivers. |
| trr / Qrr | 98 ns / 170 nC - minimizes switching loss and EMI during diode reverse recovery in hard-switched topologies. |
| dv/dt capability | 15 V/ns - ensures immunity to parasitic turn-on in high-noise, high-frequency power stages. |
| Rthj-pcb | 50 °C/W - allows direct PCB copper pour heatsinking without dedicated heatsink in ≤5 W applications. |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252) package: surface-mount, 3-terminal, single-drain tab configuration with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control input | Receives 10 V logic-level signal; Zener-protected to ±30 V for robust gate drive interface. |
| 2 (Source) | Reference node | Serves as return path for load current and gate drive loop; connects to power ground plane. |
| 3 (Drain) | High-voltage switch node | Exposed metal tab carries full 600 V blocking and 2.4 A conduction; must be isolated from other layers. |
Key Features

| SuperFREDMesh™ diode | Integrates fast 98 ns trr, 1.6 V VSD body diode-eliminates need for external snubber or freewheeling diode in flyback designs. |
| Low Coss eq | 27 pF equivalent output capacitance reduces turn-off loss and improves efficiency in high-frequency (>100 kHz) operation. |
| ECOPACK® compliance | Lead-free second-level interconnect meets RoHS and JEDEC JESD97 standards for industrial environmental requirements. |
| High dv/dt immunity | 15 V/ns rating prevents false triggering in noisy high-side configurations with fast-rising bus voltages. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP3NK60Z | TO-220 package, higher Rthj-amb (62.5 °C/W), same VDSS/RDS(on)/Qg specs | Requires mechanical heatsink; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT designs | Select when board-level thermal management is impractical but higher power dissipation is acceptable. |
| FQP3N60C | 600 V, 3.3 Ω, 2.4 A, TO-220, no avalanche rating, slower trr (200 ns) | Lacks 100% avalanche test and fast diode-requires external snubber in inductive loads | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-critical applications where reliability under overload is not required. |
Compared with STP3NK60Z and FQP3N60C, STD3NK60ZD uniquely combines DPAK SMT compatibility, guaranteed avalanche ruggedness, and fast integrated diode-making it optimal for compact, high-reliability offline power stages where board area and transient immunity are critical.

FAQ
Is STD3NK60ZD suitable for 230 VAC input PFC circuits?
Yes. With 600 V VDSS and 2.4 A continuous ID rating, it supports boost PFC operation up to 385 V DC bus. Its 15 V/ns dv/dt rating and 100% avalanche testing ensure robustness against line surges and inductive kickback in real-world mains environments.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for thermal performance?
For optimal Rthj-pcb = 50 °C/W, ST recommends ≥100 mm² of 2 oz copper connected directly to the exposed drain pad on a single layer, with thermal vias to inner ground planes. Larger areas further reduce junction temperature but yield diminishing returns beyond 200 mm².
Does the integrated body diode replace an external freewheeling diode in flyback designs?
Yes-the SuperFREDMesh™ diode has 98 ns trr and 1.6 V VSD at 10 A, enabling direct use as the freewheeling path in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback. However, for continuous conduction mode (CCM) or high-current designs, an external ultrafast diode may still be preferred.
Can STD3NK60ZD be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
No. Its VGS(th) ranges from 3.0–4.5 V, and full enhancement requires ≥10 V. A dedicated gate driver (e.g., STMicro's STL6N3LLH6) or level-shifting circuit is required to ensure low RDS(on) and prevent partial turn-on during switching transitions.
