Product details
Overview
STH180N10F3-2 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 100 V, 4.5 mΩ (max), 180 A Power MOSFET in H²PAK-2 package, fabricated with STripFET™ F3 technology. It delivers ultra-low RDS(on), 100% avalanche-tested ruggedness, and optimized gate charge for high-efficiency switching in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STH180N10F3-2 datasheet, STH180N10F3-2 pinout, STH180N10F3-2 application, or STH180N10F3-2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.9 mΩ typical RDS(on), 315 W total power dissipation at TC = 25 °C, 114.6 nC total gate charge, 20 V/ns dv/dt rating, and -55 to 175 °C operating junction temperature range.
Technical Context
This device operates as a high-current, high-voltage switching element with a 100 V drain-source breakdown voltage and ±20 V gate-source voltage rating. Its thermal resistance of 0.48 °C/W (junction-to-case) enables efficient heat transfer to heatsinks in high-power topologies.
The MOSFET features integrated body diode with 1.5 V forward voltage at 120 A and 83.4 ns reverse recovery time at 150 °C, supporting synchronous rectification and fast-switching inductive load control. Safe operating area (SOA) is defined up to 100 µs pulse width at TJ = 175 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V - Maximum continuous drain-source blocking voltage for 48 V–72 V bus systems |
| RDS(on) max | 4.5 mΩ - Ensures ≤0.81 W conduction loss at 180 A, critical for thermal management in high-current inverters |
| ID (TC = 25 °C) | 180 A - Continuous current capability at case temperature 25 °C, enabling single-device 10 kW+ switch-mode designs |
| Qg | 114.6 nC - Total gate charge determines drive strength requirement; compatible with standard 1–2 A gate drivers |
| EAS | 350 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating confirms robustness against inductive switching transients |
| RthJC | 0.48 °C/W - Low junction-to-case thermal resistance supports direct mounting to copper baseplates in high-power modules |
| dv/dt | 20 V/ns - High peak diode recovery voltage slope tolerance reduces risk of spurious turn-on in half-bridge configurations |
Pinout & Package
H²PAK-2 package: thermally enhanced surface-mount outline with exposed drain tab (D), gate (G), and source (S) terminals. Tab is electrically connected to drain and serves as primary thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Tab (D) | Drain | Primary high-current output and main thermal interface; must be soldered to large copper pour or heatsink |
| G (Pin 1) | Gate | Control input requiring <115 nC charge; sensitive to ESD; routed with low-inductance trace |
| S (Pins 2 & 3) | Source | Power return path and gate reference; dual pins reduce source inductance for high di/dt operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 3.9 mΩ typ. at VGS = 10 V - Reduces conduction losses by >25% vs. prior-generation 100 V MOSFETs in same package |
| 100% avalanche tested | 350 mJ single-pulse energy - Guarantees ruggedness under unclamped inductive switching without derating |
| Optimized gate charge | Qgd/Qgs = 0.83 - Improves Miller immunity and enables faster, more predictable switching transitions |
| High dv/dt immunity | 20 V/ns - Prevents false turn-on during hard commutation in bridge-leg configurations |
| Extended temperature range | -55 to 175 °C TJ - Supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial motor drive environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 100 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXFH180N10P | RDS(on) = 4.8 mΩ (max), Qg = 132 nC, RthJC = 0.55 °C/W | Higher gate charge increases driver loss; slightly lower thermal performance limits peak current density | Preferred where legacy IXYS footprint compatibility is required and 10% higher RDS(on) is acceptable |
| IPB180N10N3 G | RDS(on) = 4.2 mΩ (typ), Qg = 105 nC, but only rated to 150 °C TJ | Limited junction temperature restricts use in sealed, high-ambient environments above 85 °C | Better for cost-sensitive consumer-grade SMPS where extended temperature margin is not required |
Compared with STH180N10F3-2, IXFH180N10P trades 7% higher conduction loss for broader second-source availability, while IPB180N10N3 G offers marginally better RDS(on) but sacrifices 25 °C of thermal headroom-critical for automotive and industrial deployments demanding long-term reliability at high ambient.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The STH180N10F3-2 supports 120 A continuous drain current when the case temperature is maintained at 100 °C, as specified in Table 1 of DS7317 Rev 3. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the H²PAK-2 package and ensures safe operation within SOA boundaries at elevated temperatures.
Does this MOSFET require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No. The device has a gate threshold voltage of 2–4 V and is fully enhanced at VGS = 10 V. While ±20 V gate-source voltage is rated, stable turn-off is achieved with 0 V gate drive; applying negative voltage is optional and used only to improve noise immunity in high-dv/dt environments.
Can the H²PAK-2 package be mounted directly to an aluminum heatsink without insulating hardware?
No. The exposed drain tab is electrically connected to the MOSFET's drain terminal. Direct mounting to a conductive heatsink creates a short unless the heatsink is isolated or the system design accommodates drain-referenced thermal interface. Insulating pads or ceramic substrates are required for grounded heatsink configurations.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification in a 100 kHz LLC converter?
Yes. With 1.5 V forward voltage at 120 A and 83.4 ns reverse recovery time at 150 °C, the integrated body diode meets timing and loss requirements for synchronous rectification in high-frequency LLC topologies-provided gate drive timing precisely controls conduction overlap to avoid shoot-through.
