Product details
Overview
STF25N80K5 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 800 V, 19.5 A high-voltage Power MOSFET using MDmesh K5 technology in TO-220FP package. It delivers 190 mΩ typical RDS(on), 40 nC total gate charge, and 100% avalanche-tested ruggedness for offline SMPS, PFC stages, and industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the STF25N80K5 datasheet, STF25N80K5 pinout, STF25N80K5 application, or STF25N80K5 equivalent, this device supports high-efficiency 600–800 V switching with Zener-protected gate, ultra-low FoM, and validated unclamped inductive load capability up to 200 mJ.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's proprietary MDmesh K5 vertical structure to reduce specific on-resistance and gate charge simultaneously. Its 800 V V(BR)DSS and 6.5 A repetitive avalanche current enable robust operation in hard-switched converters with high dv/dt stress (6 V/ns).
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 515 ns at 25 °C) and features low output capacitance energy (Eoss = 185 µJ at 640 V), supporting high-frequency ZVS and resonant topologies while maintaining SOA integrity up to 10 ms at TC = 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | 800 V - Withstands full-line surges in 400 VAC rectified systems without breakdown. |
| RDS(on) max | 260 mΩ - Ensures ≤2.5 W conduction loss at 10 A, enabling compact heatsink design. |
| Qg | 40 nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables use with low-current drivers (e.g., 1 A peak). |
| ID (cont.) | 19.5 A at TC = 25 °C - Supports continuous 300–500 W power stages in forced-air-cooled designs. |
| EAS | 200 mJ - Guarantees single-pulse ruggedness under unclamped inductive switching (e.g., relay/snubberless flyback). |
| trr | 515 ns - Minimizes commutation losses and EMI in bridge-leg transitions with controlled di/dt. |
| RthJC | 3.1 °C/W - Enables direct thermal coupling to heatsink for stable junction temperature below 150 °C at 12.3 A. |
Pinout & Package
STF25N80K5 is housed in a TO-220FP (Full-Pak) package with insulated tab, eliminating need for mounting insulator in most applications. The plastic body provides creepage/clearance compliance for reinforced insulation in AC/DC front-ends.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D (Pin 2, Tab) | Drain | High-voltage power node; electrically connected to metal tab for low-inductance heat path and direct heatsink attachment. |
| G (Pin 1) | Gate | Control input; ±30 V rating allows standard 12–15 V gate drivers; Zener protection prevents ESD-induced failure. |
| S (Pin 3) | Source | Power return and reference for gate drive; low-inductance connection critical for minimizing ringing in high-dv/dt switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low gate charge | Qg = 40 nC - Cuts gate driver power loss by >40% vs. legacy 800 V MOSFETs, easing thermal design of isolated gate supplies. |
| Very low FoM (RDS(on) × Qg) | 10.4 Ω·nC - Delivers best-in-class power density for space-constrained 1U server PSUs and DIN-rail power supplies. |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated ±30 V clamp - Eliminates external gate protection components and improves system-level ESD immunity (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4). |
| 100% avalanche tested | Single-pulse EAS = 200 mJ - Validates ruggedness for no-snubber designs in LLC resonant converters and active clamp forward topologies. |
| Fast body diode | trr = 515 ns, Qrr = 11 µC - Reduces reverse recovery loss and voltage overshoot during synchronous rectification or half-bridge freewheeling. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Server & Telecom SMPS |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP25N80K5 | Same die, TO-220 package with non-insulated tab; RthJC = 0.5 °C/W (vs. 3.1 °C/W); higher thermal performance but requires insulator. | Better suited for heatsink-mounted designs where isolation is handled externally; not suitable for chassis-grounded mounting without insulator. | Select when maximum thermal efficiency is prioritized and mechanical layout permits insulator use. |
| IPW65R095C7 | 650 V SiC MOSFET; lower Qg (34 nC), lower RDS(on) (95 mΩ), but lower V(BR)DSS; requires gate driver with negative turn-off. | Enables >200 kHz operation in PFC; unsuitable for 800 V surge-prone mains inputs without additional clamping. | Select only if system voltage is strictly limited to ≤650 V and high-frequency efficiency gain justifies SiC cost and driver complexity. |
Compared with STP25N80K5, STF25N80K5 trades thermal resistance for electrical isolation and ease of mounting; compared with IPW65R095C7, it offers higher voltage margin and simpler gate drive at the cost of switching speed and conduction loss.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at case temperature of 100 °C?
The STF25N80K5 supports 12.3 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 1 of DS9179 Rev 4. This value reflects thermal derating due to reduced safe operating area at elevated temperatures and must be applied with appropriate heatsinking to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C.
Does STF25N80K5 require a gate resistor for EMI suppression?
Yes - a 4.7 Ω gate resistor is used in the official switching time test circuit (Figure 16) to limit dv/dt and suppress ringing. While the device's low Qg allows faster switching, omitting the resistor risks shoot-through in bridge configurations and increases radiated emissions above CISPR 22 Class B limits.
Can STF25N80K5 replace STP25N80K5 without board redesign?
No - STF25N80K5 uses TO-220FP (insulated tab), whereas STP25N80K5 uses TO-220 (non-insulated tab). Pinout is identical (G-D-S), but mechanical footprint, tab isolation, and thermal interface differ. Board redesign is required to accommodate the full-pak body and eliminate the insulator.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification in LLC resonant converters?
No - although the body diode has fast trr (515 ns) and low Qrr (11 µC), its forward voltage (VSD = 1.5 V) is too high for efficient synchronous rectification. Dedicated low-VF Schottky or GaN FETs are recommended for secondary-side rectification in high-frequency LLC designs.
