Product details
Overview
STD5NM50T4 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 500 V, 7.5 A MDmesh™ Power MOSFET in DPAK (TO-252) package with RDS(on) = 0.7 Ω (typ), 100% avalanche tested, and 15 V/ns dv/dt capability. It serves as a high-voltage switching element in offline SMPS primary-side power stages, PFC circuits, and industrial DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the STD5NM50T4 datasheet, STD5NM50T4 pinout, STD5NM50T4 application, or STD5NM50T4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500 V VDSS, low 13 nC total gate charge, 1.25 °C/W Rthj-case, robust 300 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, and diode recovery performance (trr = 185 ns @ 25°C).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's MDmesh™ technology-combining Multiple Drain process and PowerMESH™ horizontal layout-to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining high voltage ruggedness. Its internal structure enables stable operation under high dv/dt stress and unclamped inductive switching conditions.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 185 ns, Qrr = 1.1 μC at 25°C) and supports hard-switched topologies up to 500 V bus voltage. Gate threshold voltage is tightly controlled (3–5 V), and dynamic parameters-including Ciss = 415 pF, Coss = 88 pF, and Crss = 12 pF-are optimized for high-frequency ZVS/ZCS compatibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 500 V - supports 400 V AC mains-derived DC bus with margin for surge and ringing |
| RDS(on) | 0.7 Ω (typ) - enables <7.5 W conduction loss at 7.5 A, critical for thermal management in compact designs |
| ID (continuous) | 7.5 A @ TC = 25°C - defines maximum steady-state current with heatsink |
| Qg | 13 nC - determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed in 100–500 kHz applications |
| EAS | 300 mJ - ensures reliable operation during unclamped inductive turn-off events without external snubbers |
| trr | 185 ns @ 25°C - limits reverse recovery losses and EMI in bridge-leg configurations |
| Rthj-case | 1.25 °C/W - allows direct mounting to PCB copper or small heatsinks for ≤100 W dissipation |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252) package: surface-mount, 3-pin, exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. Standard footprint compatible with IPC-7351B DPAK-3 land pattern.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control input | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; requires low-impedance gate driver due to 3 Ω gate resistance |
| 2 (Drain) | High-voltage output node | Connected to primary winding or DC bus; electrically tied to exposed backside metal pad |
| 3 (Source) | Power return / reference | Serves as local ground for gate drive; carries full load current and diode reverse recovery current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MDmesh™ technology | Enables 0.7 Ω RDS(on) at 500 V rating-reducing conduction loss by ~30% vs. conventional planar MOSFETs |
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees minimum 2.5 A repetitive avalanche current and 300 mJ single-pulse energy handling |
| Low Coss (88 pF) | Reduces turn-off switching loss and improves light-load efficiency in resonant topologies |
| High dv/dt immunity (15 V/ns) | Prevents false turn-on in high-noise environments such as motor drives and industrial inverters |
| Tight VGS(th) distribution (3–5 V) | Ensures consistent turn-on timing across production lots, simplifying gate drive design |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP5NK50ZFP | RDS(on) = 0.95 Ω (higher), Qg = 16 nC, TO-220FP package | Larger footprint, higher thermal resistance (Rthj-case = 1.5 °C/W), no tape-and-reel option | Preferred where through-hole assembly or higher surge margin is required; not suitable for space-constrained DPAK layouts. |
| FDPF5N50NZ | RDS(on) = 0.9 Ω, Qg = 14 nC, DPAK-3, lower EAS (220 mJ) | Lower avalanche ruggedness; not 100% avalanche tested per datasheet | Acceptable for non-critical consumer SMPS but not recommended for industrial or medical systems requiring guaranteed avalanche endurance. |
Compared with STP5NK50ZFP and FDPF5N50NZ, STD5NM50T4 delivers superior power density via lower RDS(on) and gate charge, tighter VGS(th) control, and verified avalanche robustness-making it optimal for miniaturized, high-reliability 500 V switching designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for STD5NM50T4?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150°C, with derating beginning at TC = 25°C. At case temperature of 100°C, the continuous drain current drops to 4.7 A. Thermal design must ensure Rthj-case ≤ 1.25 °C/W and maintain Tj ≤ 130°C for 10-year reliability in industrial applications.
Does STD5NM50T4 require a negative gate turn-off voltage?
No. STD5NM50T4 operates with 0 V to +10 V gate drive and does not require negative bias. Its ±30 V VGS rating supports standard 12 V gate drivers, but 10 V is sufficient for full enhancement. Negative voltage is unnecessary due to tight VGS(th) distribution and high dv/dt immunity.
Can STD5NM50T4 be used in synchronous rectification?
No. STD5NM50T4 is optimized as a high-side or primary-side switch-not a low-side synchronous rectifier. Its body diode trr and Qrr are specified for freewheeling, not bidirectional conduction. For SR applications, ST recommends dedicated low-VF trench MOSFETs like STL10DN10LH6.
Is the STD5NM50T4 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes. STD5NM50T4 complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is manufactured as a halogen-free device per IEC 61249-2-21. The "T4" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging meeting J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), with lead-free termination finish (SnAgCu).
