Product details
Overview
STF6N95K5 from STMicroelectronics is a 950 V, 9 A N-channel Power MOSFET in TO-220FP package, fabricated with MDmesh K5 vertical structure technology. It delivers 1.25 Ω max RDS(on), 13 nC total gate charge, and 2.5 kV RMS insulation withstand voltage, enabling high-voltage switching in offline SMPS, industrial inverters, and arc welding equipment.
For engineers reviewing the STF6N95K5 datasheet, STF6N95K5 pinout, STF6N95K5 application, or STF6N95K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche ruggedness (90 mJ EAS), dv/dt immunity (50 V/ns MOSFET ruggedness), Zener-protected gate, and 100% UIS-tested reliability under unclamped inductive loads.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's MDmesh K5 proprietary vertical superjunction architecture to achieve ultra-low RDS(on) × Qg figure of merit-critical for reducing conduction and switching losses in high-frequency, high-voltage topologies. Its 5 Ω/W junction-to-case thermal resistance supports forced-air-cooled designs up to 25 W continuous dissipation.
The integrated body diode features 372 ns typical reverse recovery time at 25 °C and 522 ns at 150 °C, with 4–5 µC Qrr, making it suitable for hard-switched PFC and resonant converters where diode softness impacts EMI and efficiency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 950 V - Supports 800 V DC bus designs with 150 V margin for transient overvoltage in industrial AC/DC front-ends. |
| RDS(on) max | 1.25 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 3 A - Enables <11.3 W conduction loss at 9 A, critical for thermally constrained TO-220FP layouts. |
| Qg | 13 nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables use of low-current drivers in high-frequency (>100 kHz) flyback or LLC controllers. |
| EAS | 90 mJ - Confirmed single-pulse avalanche energy at TJ = 25 °C, ensuring robustness against inductive switching faults without external snubbers. |
| VISO | 2.5 kV RMS - Allows direct mounting on insulated heat sinks in Class I safety-compliant power supplies without additional isolation barriers. |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns - Sustains rapid voltage transients during hard commutation, preventing spurious turn-on in high-dV/dt environments like motor drives. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220FP (Type B) package: full-molded, isolated tab, vertical mounting with screw-hole for heatsink attachment. Tab is drain-connected; no internal isolation between drain and case.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | High-impedance control terminal requiring ≤±30 V bias; 7 Ω intrinsic gate resistance limits ringing in fast-switching layouts. |
| 2 (D) | Drain | High-voltage output node connected to molded tab; electrically isolated from PCB but thermally coupled to heatsink via 2.5 kV RMS barrier. |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return path and gate reference; tied to low-side switch node in half-bridge configurations; carries full load current (9 A continuous). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low gate charge | 13 nC total charge enables <100 ns switching transitions with 1 A gate driver, minimizing overlap loss in high-frequency SMPS. |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated ±30 V gate-body Zener clamps ESD and transient overvoltage, eliminating need for external gate protection components. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Every unit undergoes unclamped inductive switching stress test per JEDEC JESD22-A109, guaranteeing UIS reliability in real-world fault conditions. |
| MDmesh K5 technology | Vertical superjunction structure achieves 1.25 Ω RDS(on) at 950 V - 35% lower on-resistance than prior-generation K3 devices at same voltage rating. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW20NK90Z | 900 V rating, 0.42 Ω typ RDS(on), 20 A ID, TO-247 package - higher current, lower voltage, larger footprint. | Preferred for >15 A continuous designs with ample heatsinking; unsuitable for space-constrained TO-220FP layouts. | Select when higher current headroom and lower conduction loss outweigh board area and cost constraints. |
| IPP60R099C7 | 650 V rating, 0.099 Ω RDS(on), 60 A ID, TO-220 package - lower voltage, much lower RDS(on), no isolation. | Only viable in 400 V DC bus systems; lacks 2.5 kV isolation and avalanche rating; requires external gate protection. | Choose only for 650 V-class designs prioritizing ultra-low conduction loss and cost, with no safety isolation requirement. |
Compared with STW20NK90Z and IPP60R099C7, STF6N95K5 uniquely balances 950 V capability, TO-220FP form factor, integrated isolation, and guaranteed avalanche performance-making it the sole option for compact, safety-certified, high-reliability 800 V+ offline switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The STF6N95K5 supports 6 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 1 of DS10359 Rev 3. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-220FP package and ensures safe operation within its 5 °C/W RthJC constraint without exceeding 150 °C maximum junction temperature.
Does the device include an integrated body diode, and what are its key recovery characteristics?
Yes, STF6N95K5 integrates a source-drain diode rated for 9 A continuous and 36 A pulsed current. At 25 °C, it exhibits 372 ns reverse recovery time (trr) and 4 µC reverse recovery charge (Qrr) under ISD = 6 A, di/dt = 100 A/µs, and VDD = 60 V conditions-values confirmed in Table 7 of the datasheet.
Is the TO-220FP package electrically isolated, and what is its insulation rating?
Yes, the TO-220FP package provides electrical isolation between all three leads (G, D, S) and the external heatsink. Its insulation withstand voltage is rated at 2.5 kV RMS for 1 second at 25 °C, verified per IEC 60747-5-2, enabling direct mounting on grounded metal chassis without additional insulating hardware.
How is avalanche ruggedness validated for this MOSFET?
Each STF6N95K5 unit undergoes 100% unclamped inductive switching (UIS) testing per JEDEC JESD22-A109. The device is stressed with IAR = 3 A and EAS = 90 mJ at TJ = 25 °C, using the test circuit in Figure 17 of DS10359. No parameter degradation is allowed post-test, ensuring field reliability in fault-prone power stages.
