Product details
Overview
STFH24N60M2 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 600 V, 18 A MDmesh™ M2 Power MOSFET in TO-220FP wide creepage package, featuring 0.168 Ω typ. RDS(on), 29 nC total gate charge, and 2500 V RMS insulation withstand voltage. It serves as a high-voltage switching device in resonant LLC converters operating at high efficiency and reliability under polluted environmental conditions.
For engineers reviewing the STFH24N60M2 datasheet, STFH24N60M2 pinout, STFH24N60M2 application, or STFH24N60M2 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche ruggedness (180 mJ EAS), low Coss,eq (258 pF), dv/dt immunity (50 V/ns), and Zener-protected gate for robust gate drive design.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's MDmesh™ M2 silicon technology with strip layout and optimized vertical structure to simultaneously reduce conduction loss and switching loss. Its low Qgd/Qg ratio (12/29 nC) and flat Coss profile support zero-voltage switching (ZVS) in high-frequency resonant topologies.
The TO-220FP wide creepage package provides 4.25 mm minimum creepage distance between pins and 2500 V RMS isolation from leads to heatsink - critical for industrial power supplies operating in humid or dusty environments where surface arcing must be prevented.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 50% safety margin for transient overvoltage |
| RDS(on) typ. | 0.168 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 9 A - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 12 A continuous drain current |
| Qg total | 29 nC - reduces gate driver power requirement and enables >200 kHz operation with standard 1-A drivers |
| Coss,eq | 258 pF @ 0–480 V - ensures predictable turn-off energy and stable ZVS boundary in LLC converters |
| EAS | 180 mJ - guarantees unclamped inductive switching survival without external snubbers |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns - prevents spurious turn-on during fast voltage transients in high-side configurations |
| Tj max | 150 °C - allows full 18 A rating at TC = 25 °C with derating to 12 A at TC = 100 °C |
Pinout & Package
TO-220FP wide creepage package with insulated backside, 4.25 mm minimum creepage between pins, and integral mounting hole. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain, Pin 3 = Source (standard D-G-S configuration with tab connected to Drain).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (G) | Gate terminal | Low-impedance control input requiring ≤29 nC charge for full enhancement; Zener-protected to ±25 V |
| Pin 2 (D) | Drain terminal / Heatsink connection | Electrically connected to metal tab; carries full 600 V blocking and 72 A pulsed current; requires isolation from PCB ground plane |
| Pin 3 (S) | Source terminal | Reference node for gate drive; carries return current of 18 A continuous; forms source-drain diode anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW20N60M2 | Same MDmesh™ M2 die, but TO-247 package; RDS(on) = 0.195 Ω; higher thermal resistance (0.45 °C/W vs 4.2 °C/W case-to-heatsink) | Preferred for >3 kW designs requiring higher power density and forced-air cooling | Select when board space permits larger TO-247 and thermal management includes heatsink finning |
| FDPF18N60NZ | 600 V, 18 A SuperFET II; RDS(on) = 0.19 Ω; Qg = 32 nC; no integrated Zener protection | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer PSUs with simpler gate drive and lower reliability requirements | Choose only if Zener gate protection and 2500 V isolation are not required for end-equipment certification |
Compared with STW20N60M2 and FDPF18N60NZ, STFH24N60M2 uniquely combines wide-creepage isolation, Zener gate protection, and MDmesh™ M2 switching performance in a compact through-hole package - making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-critical industrial power modules.

FAQ
Is STFH24N60M2 suitable for hard-switched PFC applications?
Yes - its 50 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness, 600 V VDS, and low Qgd/Qg ratio make it viable for continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) PFC. However, its body diode trr (332 ns) is slower than dedicated PFC MOSFETs; for >100 kHz designs, consider pairing with a SiC diode or selecting a part with faster recovery.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for 300 kHz LLC operation?
With Qg = 29 nC and typical 1-A peak gate driver capability, RG ≤ 10 Ω ensures <30 ns effective turn-on delay. For 300 kHz ZVS, use RG = 4.7 Ω (as tested in datasheet Figure 14) to balance switching speed against ringing and EMI - verified up to 500 kHz in reference designs.
Does the TO-220FP wide creepage package require special PCB layout rules?
Yes - maintain ≥4.5 mm clearance between Drain (tab) and any adjacent copper, and ≥5 mm creepage along solder mask edges. Use isolated thermal pads with ≥2500 V dielectric strength; avoid routing signal traces under the tab. ST recommends FR4 with ≥6.5 mm thickness for reinforced insulation per IEC 62368-1.
Can STFH24N60M2 replace STP20NM60FD in existing designs?
No - STP20NM60FD is a SuperMESH™ device with different gate threshold (3–5 V vs 2–4 V), higher RDS(on) (0.22 Ω), and no Zener protection. While both are 600 V/20 A, STFH24N60M2's lower Qg and improved Coss profile demand gate drive redesign; direct replacement may cause shoot-through or insufficient drive margin.
