Product details
Overview
STD7NS20T4 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 200 V, 7 A, 0.35 Ω RDS(on) DPAK (TO-252) power MOSFET with MESH OVERLAY™ technology, designed for high-speed switching in DC-DC converters and lighting ballasts. It features 100% avalanche tested ruggedness, 5 V/ns dv/dt capability, and low intrinsic capacitances (Ciss = 540 pF, Coss = 90 pF).
For engineers reviewing the STD7NS20T4 datasheet, STD7NS20T4 pinout, STD7NS20T4 application, or STD7NS20T4 equivalent, key selection factors include its 200 V breakdown voltage, 7 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, 2.7 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and tape-and-reel packaging (T4 suffix) for automated assembly.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's proprietary MESH OVERLAY™ process and STrip layout with edge termination to achieve high voltage robustness and fast switching. Its 150 °C max junction temperature, 60 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS), and 170 ns reverse recovery time (trr) support reliable operation under inductive load transients.
The device integrates a built-in body diode with 1.5 V forward voltage (VSD) at 7 A and 11 A peak reverse recovery current (IRRM). Gate charge parameters-Qg = 31–45 nC, Qgd = 9 nC-enable efficient gate drive design for SMPS operating up to several hundred kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 200 V - Withstands 200 V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche conduction. |
| RDS(on) | 0.35 Ω (typ) - Low on-resistance minimizes conduction loss at 3.5 A, enabling <1.2 W I²R loss at full rated current. |
| ID (cont) | 7 A at TC = 25°C - Supports high-current switching in compact heatsinked layouts. |
| trr | 170 ns - Fast body diode recovery reduces switching losses and EMI in hard-switched topologies. |
| Qg | 31–45 nC - Total gate charge determines required driver current and influences turn-on/turn-off timing control. |
| Rthj-case | 2.7 °C/W - Enables direct mounting to PCB copper or heatsink for thermal management without forced air. |
| EAS | 60 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating ensures survivability during unclamped inductive switching events. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-252 (DPAK), surface-mount, 3-pin, exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Source) | Source terminal of N-channel MOSFET | Reference node for gate drive; connects to low-side return path and PCB ground plane. |
| 2 (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level gate drive; requires <45 nC charge for full enhancement. |
| 3 (Drain) | Main current-carrying terminal | Connected to high-voltage rail; electrically and thermally tied to large copper area via exposed pad. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees robustness against unclamped inductive switching stress without derating. |
| Extremely high dv/dt capability | 5 V/ns rating prevents spurious turn-on during fast voltage transients in high-noise environments. |
| Low intrinsic capacitances | Ciss = 540 pF, Coss = 90 pF - Reduces capacitive switching losses and improves efficiency at high frequencies. |
| MESH OVERLAY™ process | Enables optimized cell density and edge termination for superior RDS(on)/VDSS trade-off vs. conventional planar MOSFETs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 200 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP7NK20Z | Higher RDS(on) (0.42 Ω typ), Zener-protected gate, TO-220 package | Lacks tape-and-reel (T4) option; larger footprint and higher thermal resistance (Rthj-case = 3.5 °C/W) | Preferred where gate protection is critical and manual assembly or heatsink mounting is used. |
| IRF640NPBF | Same VDSS (200 V), but higher RDS(on) (0.18 Ω @ VGS = 10 V is misstated-actual is 0.18 Ω only at 10 V and 25°C; real-world RDS(on) rises to ~0.22 Ω at 100°C), TO-220 | No avalanche rating specified; not 100% avalanche tested; unsuitable for unclamped inductive loads | Acceptable only in non-avalanche-critical, lower-temperature, lower-duty-cycle applications. |
Compared with STP7NK20Z and IRF640NPBF, STD7NS20T4 delivers lower conduction loss, guaranteed avalanche ruggedness, and DPAK tape-and-reel compatibility-making it optimal for automated, high-reliability lighting and telecom power designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-source voltage rating for STD7NS20T4?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V. Exceeding this risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended operating VGS is 10 V for full enhancement, with typical threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranging from 2 V to 4 V at ID = 250 µA. Gate drive circuits must include clamping or zener protection if transient overshoot is possible.
Does STD7NS20T4 have a built-in body diode, and what are its key characteristics?
Yes-it integrates a fast-recovery body diode with 1.5 V forward voltage at 7 A (VSD), 170 ns reverse recovery time (trr), and 0.95 µC reverse recovery charge (Qrr). These values are measured at Tj = 150°C, making it suitable for synchronous rectification and freewheeling in hard-switched topologies without external diodes.
Can STD7NS20T4 be used in avalanche mode, and what is its rated avalanche energy?
Yes-STD7NS20T4 is 100% avalanche tested. Its single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) is 60 mJ when starting from Tj = 25°C, with IAR = 7 A and VDD = 50 V. Repetitive avalanche is not rated; designers must ensure pulse duty cycle and thermal limits prevent junction overheating during repeated events.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case, and how should it be applied in layout?
Rthj-case is 2.7 °C/W maximum. This value assumes full soldering of the exposed drain pad to ≥10 cm² of 2-oz copper on the PCB. Layout must use multiple thermal vias under the pad, connected to internal ground or power planes, to realize this rating. Without proper copper area and vias, effective thermal resistance may exceed 5 °C/W.
