Product details
Overview
STF15NM60ND from STMicroelectronics is a 600 V, 15 A N-channel SuperMESH™ III power MOSFET in TO-220FP package, featuring 0.32 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 45 nC total gate charge, and 100% avalanche-rated ruggedness. It serves as a primary switching device in offline SMPS, PFC stages, and industrial motor drives operating up to 100 kHz.
For engineers reviewing the STF15NM60ND datasheet, STF15NM60ND pinout, STF15NM60ND application, or STF15NM60ND equivalent, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage margin, conduction/switching loss trade-off, thermal resistance in constrained PCB layouts, and avalanche energy rating for unclamped inductive switching reliability.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's SuperMESH™ III process to achieve optimized vertical charge balance, enabling high VDSS with low on-resistance and reduced gate-drain charge (QGD = 12 nC). Its body diode exhibits 45 ns reverse recovery time and soft recovery behavior, minimizing EMI in hard-switched topologies.
The device is specified for operation up to Tj = 150 °C with SOA compliance across linear and switching regions. Its 1.5 kV HBM ESD rating and 100% UIS-tested ruggedness support robustness in high-noise industrial environments without external snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 600 V - Withstands peak line voltages up to 425 VAC mains with 1.5× safety margin in flyback and forward converters. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.32 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 15 A DC, reducing heatsink requirements in compact 100–300 W supplies. |
| QG | 45 nC - Matches standard gate drivers (e.g., STGW30V60DF) for <100 ns turn-on with ≤2 A peak drive current. |
| EAS | 420 mJ - Supports single-pulse unclamped inductive switching at ID = 7.5 A, eliminating need for external clamping in relay/snubberless designs. |
| RθJA | 60 °C/W - Requires ≥25 cm² copper pour (2 oz) for safe 15 A operation at 70 °C ambient without forced air. |
| tr/tf | 25/45 ns - Limits dv/dt-induced shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations when paired with matched gate resistors. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220FP (Full-Pak) package: insulated backside, vertical mounting, no heatsink isolation required. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gate (G) | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring ≤10 V drive; sensitive to ESD-must be protected by series resistor and TVS during layout. |
| Drain (D) | High-side switch node | Internally connected to metal tab; electrically active-requires creepage clearance ≥4 mm from other traces in 600 V designs. |
| Source (S) | Reference return | Low-inductance connection point for gate driver return and current sense resistor; must tie directly to power ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperMESH™ III technology | Enables 600 V rating with RDS(on) 30% lower than standard planar MOSFETs-reducing conduction loss without sacrificing voltage headroom. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated for single-pulse EAS ≥420 mJ-ensures field reliability in transformer leakage spike events without derating. |
| Soft-recovery body diode | Reverse recovery time trr = 45 ns with low Qrr = 42 nC-minimizes switching loss and ringing in continuous-conduction-mode PFC boost stages. |
| TO-220FP insulated package | Plastic-isolated drain tab eliminates need for insulating washers-simplifies mechanical assembly and reduces thermal interface resistance by ~0.5 °C/W. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPP60R099C7 | 99 mΩ RDS(on), 650 V, TO-220 package - higher on-resistance but lower QG (32 nC) and improved FOM. | Preferred in high-frequency (>150 kHz) resonant converters where switching loss dominates. | Select when optimizing for 150–300 kHz operation with gate drive current <1.5 A. |
| STP15NM60N | Identical die, TO-220 (non-FP) package - exposed drain tab requires insulating hardware and adds ~1.2 °C/W thermal resistance. | Suitable only where mechanical isolation is already implemented and board space allows larger heatsink footprint. | Choose only if legacy board design mandates non-insulated TO-220 footprint and thermal margin ≥15 °C remains. |
Compared with IPP60R099C7, STF15NM60ND offers lower conduction loss at high current but higher switching loss above 120 kHz; versus STP15NM60N, it delivers identical electrical performance with simplified thermal and safety certification due to built-in insulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage for STF15NM60ND?
The absolute maximum gate-source voltage is ±25 V, but ST specifies reliable operation at VGS = 10 V for rated RDS(on). Driving above 15 V yields diminishing RDS(on) improvement while increasing gate oxide stress and ESD susceptibility. For robustness in noisy environments, 12 V is the practical upper limit with standard gate drivers.
Does STF15NM60ND require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes-a series gate resistor is mandatory to dampen parasitic oscillation and limit peak gate current. ST recommends 10–22 Ω for 12 V drive with standard 1–2 A peak drivers. Lower values (<10 Ω) increase switching speed but risk ringing; higher values (>47 Ω) degrade turn-on time and increase switching loss in high-frequency designs.
Can STF15NM60ND be used in synchronous rectification applications?
No-it is not optimized for synchronous rectification. Its body diode reverse recovery characteristics (trr = 45 ns, Qrr = 42 nC) are acceptable for quasi-resonant flyback but insufficient for high-frequency LLC or SR forward converters where <20 ns trr and <15 nC Qrr are required to avoid cross-conduction losses.
Is STF15NM60ND qualified for automotive applications?
No-STF15NM60ND is an industrial-grade MOSFET without AEC-Q101 qualification. It lacks automotive-specific screening (e.g., HTOL, UHAST), extended temperature range (–40 to +175 °C), and zero-defect manufacturing controls. For automotive use, ST recommends the AEC-Q101-qualified STL15DN60M or STW15NM60ND variants.
