Product details
Overview
STF2N95K5 from STMicroelectronics is a 950 V, 5 Ω max, 2 A N-channel Power MOSFET in IPAK (TO-251) package, built on MDmesh K5 vertical structure for ultra-low RDS(on) × area and gate charge. It delivers 50 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, 100% avalanche tested, and supports high-efficiency switching in offline SMPS and industrial AC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the STF2N95K5 datasheet, STF2N95K5 pinout, STF2N95K5 application, or STF2N95K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 950 V V(BR)DSS, 10 nC total gate charge, 4.2 Ω typical RDS(on), 45 W PTOT, and rugged 50 V/ns dv/dt capability under MOSFET switching conditions.
Technical Context
This device employs ST's MDmesh K5 proprietary vertical silicon architecture to minimize conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its 105 pF Ciss, 0.5 pF Crss, and 16 Ω intrinsic gate resistance enable fast, low-loss hard-switching up to several hundred kHz.
The integrated Zener-protected gate ensures robustness against overvoltage transients, while the 1.5 V source-drain forward voltage at 2 A and 300 ns reverse recovery time support efficient synchronous rectification and flyback snubberless operation in high-voltage topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | 950 V - Withstands full mains-derived DC bus voltages in 380–400 VAC input systems without derating. |
| RDS(on) max | 5 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 1 A - Enables <2 W conduction loss at 2 A continuous drain current. |
| Qg | 10 nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables use of low-current drivers in compact flyback controllers. |
| EAS | 50 mJ - Supports unclamped inductive switching in relay drivers and solenoid controls without external clamping. |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns - Ensures reliable turn-off immunity in noisy high-dV/dt environments like motor drives and PFC stages. |
| RthJC | 2.78 °C/W - Allows direct heatsink mounting with ≤125 °C junction rise at 45 W dissipation (TC = 25 °C). |
Pinout & Package
IPAK (TO-251) type C package: 3-pin surface-mount outline with exposed drain tab (pin 2) for thermal and electrical connection. Molded plastic body, lead-free and RoHS-compliant per ECOPACK® specifications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; requires ≤±30 V drive; 16 Ω intrinsic gate resistance limits ringing in high-speed switching. |
| 2 (TAB/D) | Drain (exposed tab) | Main high-voltage power path; electrically and thermally connected to PCB copper pour for heat dissipation and EMI reduction. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; connects to ground or low-side switch node in buck/flyback topologies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Industry's lowest RDS(on) × area | Enables compact high-voltage designs: 5 Ω achieved in IPAK footprint without trade-off in voltage rating or thermal performance. |
| Ultra-low gate charge (10 nC) | Reduces switching losses by >30% vs legacy 950 V MOSFETs; allows higher frequency operation without driver overheating. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees single-pulse ruggedness to 50 mJ at TJ = 25 °C - eliminates need for external snubbers in cost-sensitive industrial supplies. |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated gate-source clamp prevents damage from ±30 V transients - improves field reliability in unregulated AC line environments. |
Applications
| Industrial AC-DC Adapters | Offline Flyback Converters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STU2N95K5 | Same die, IPAK package, 4.2 Ω typ. RDS(on), 10 nC Qg | Identical electrical specs; differs only in marking and packaging (tube vs tape/reel) | Select when tube delivery or legacy ordering required; identical thermal and electrical behavior. |
| STD2N95K5 | Same die, DPAK package, RthJA = 120 °C/W (vs 100 °C/W for IPAK), same 950 V/5 Ω | Lower power density due to higher thermal resistance; unsuitable above ~25 W continuous dissipation | Choose only for space-constrained PCB layouts where DPAK footprint is mandatory and power <15 W. |
Compared with STU2N95K5 and STD2N95K5, STF2N95K5 offers identical silicon performance but optimized for manual or semi-automated assembly via IPAK's robust tab mounting and lower RthJC, making it preferred for industrial power supplies requiring long-term thermal stability.

FAQ
Is STF2N95K5 pin-compatible with STU2N95K5?
Yes - both share identical IPAK (TO-251) pinout: Gate (pin 1), Drain (tab/pin 2), Source (pin 3). Mechanical dimensions, thermal pad layout, and solder footprint are fully interchangeable. Only packaging format (tube vs bulk) and part marking differ.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The datasheet specifies ID = 1.3 A at TC = 100 °C. This reflects thermal derating due to RthJC = 2.78 °C/W and PTOT limit of 45 W. At this condition, RDS(on) rises to ~5.5 Ω, yielding ~9.3 W conduction loss.
Does STF2N95K5 include an integrated body diode? What are its recovery characteristics?
Yes - it features a monolithic source-drain diode with 2 A continuous forward current rating. At TJ = 25 °C, trr = 300 ns and Qrr = 1.15 µC under ISD = 2 A, di/dt = 100 A/µs, VDD = 60 V. Recovery is soft and controlled, minimizing voltage overshoot.
Can STF2N95K5 be used in zero-voltage switching (ZVS) resonant topologies?
Yes - its low Coss (9 pF) and Crss (0.5 pF), combined with 10 nC Qg, support efficient ZVS operation in LLC and half-bridge resonant converters. The 50 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness ensures reliable turn-on even with high resonant voltage slew rates.
