Product details
Overview
STL15N60M2-EP from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 600 V, 7 A Power MOSFET in PowerFLAT™ 5x6 HV package with 0.389 Ω typ. RDS(on), 17 nC total gate charge, and 55 W power dissipation. It employs MDmesh™ M2 EP technology for ultra-low turn-off switching losses and is optimized for >150 kHz high-frequency converters in industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the STL15N60M2-EP datasheet, STL15N60M2-EP pinout, STL15N60M2-EP application, or STL15N60M2-EP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V V(BR)DSS, 2.27 °C/W Rthj-case, 148 pF Coss,eq, avalanche-rated construction, and Zener-protected gate.
Technical Context
This device uses ST's MDmesh™ M2 EP strip layout and enhanced vertical structure to simultaneously reduce conduction loss (0.389 Ω typ. at VGS = 10 V, ID = 4.5 A) and switching loss (5 µJ EOFF at VDD = 400 V, ID = 1.5 A). Its 1.1 pF Crss and 590 pF Ciss enable fast, low-noise switching in hard-switched topologies.
The integrated source-drain diode features 1.6 V VSD at 7 A and 280 ns trr at Tj = 25 °C, supporting synchronous rectification and flyback operation. The 100% avalanche-tested design ensures robustness under unclamped inductive switching stress up to 110 mJ EAS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | 600 V - Withstands 600 V drain-source blocking voltage before breakdown, enabling use in 400 V AC-input PFC and offline SMPS stages. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.418 Ω - Maximum on-resistance at 100 °C case temperature, defining worst-case conduction loss in thermal steady state. |
| Qg | 17 nC - Total gate charge required for full turn-on, directly determining gate driver current demand and switching speed control. |
| Coss,eq | 148 pF - Equivalent output capacitance over 0–480 V, critical for calculating resonant tank energy and ZVS feasibility. |
| EOFF | 5.2 µJ - Measured turn-off energy at 3.5 A and 400 V, quantifying hard-switching loss contribution in high-frequency operation. |
| Rthj-case | 2.27 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance, enabling accurate heatsink sizing when mounted on a low-impedance copper pad. |
| IAR | 1.5 A - Repetitive avalanche current rating, specifying maximum inductive energy absorption per pulse without degradation. |
Pinout & Package
STL15N60M2-EP is housed in a surface-mount PowerFLAT™ 5x6 HV package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical performance. The 8-pin configuration integrates four parallel drain terminals (pins 5–8), one gate terminal (pin 4), and three source terminals (pins 1–3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 (S) | Source connection | Three low-inductance source paths reduce common-source inductance and improve switching stability in high-di/dt applications. |
| 4 (G) | Gate input | Single gate terminal with 7 Ω intrinsic resistance; requires external gate resistor tuning to balance switching speed and EMI. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 (D) | Drain connection | Four paralleled drain terminals tied to large exposed copper pad, providing low thermal resistance and high-current capability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MDmesh™ M2 EP technology | Enables 0.389 Ω RDS(on) at 600 V rating-achieving higher power density than conventional planar superjunction MOSFETs. |
| Extremely low gate charge | 17 nC Qg reduces gate drive power and enables efficient operation above 150 kHz without excessive driver heating. |
| Optimized COSS profile | 148 pF Coss,eq supports soft-switching designs and minimizes capacitive turn-on loss in resonant converters. |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated gate oxide protection withstands ±25 V VGS transients, eliminating need for external gate clamping in noisy environments. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated for 110 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, ensuring reliability in inductive load switching and fault conditions. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW15N60M2 | TO-247-3 package; identical die, higher Rthj-case (0.65 °C/W); no exposed drain pad | Better suited for forced-air-cooled industrial drives where mechanical mounting and creepage dominate | Select when board space permits larger through-hole footprint and thermal interface relies on heatsink contact rather than PCB copper. |
| IPP60R041P7XKSA1 | 650 V rating; 0.041 Ω RDS(on); 32 nC Qg; TO-220FP package | Lower conduction loss but higher switching loss; unsuitable for >150 kHz due to elevated Qg and Coss | Prefer only for lower-frequency (<80 kHz), high-current applications where conduction loss dominates system efficiency. |
Compared with STW15N60M2 and IPP60R041P7XKSA1, STL15N60M2-EP delivers superior high-frequency efficiency via its low-Qg/low-Coss combination and PowerFLAT™ thermal design-making it optimal for space-constrained, air-cooled, >150 kHz converters where PCB thermal management is prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The STL15N60M2-EP supports 4.6 A continuous drain current at Tcase = 100 °C, as specified in Table 2 of the datasheet. This derating reflects thermal limits of the PowerFLAT™ 5x6 HV package and must be verified against actual PCB copper area and airflow conditions.
Does this MOSFET include integrated gate protection?
Yes-the STL15N60M2-EP integrates a Zener diode between gate and source, enabling ±25 V gate-source voltage tolerance. This eliminates the need for external gate clamping components in typical industrial noise environments.
Can STL15N60M2-EP replace older STL15N60M2 in existing designs?
Yes-the "-EP" suffix denotes enhanced performance with identical pinout, marking, and package. Key improvements include lower RDS(on) (0.389 Ω vs. 0.45 Ω typ.), reduced Qg, and tighter parameter distributions-enabling direct drop-in replacement with measurable efficiency gains.
What is the recommended PCB footprint for thermal performance?
Per Figure 22 in the datasheet, the recommended footprint uses a 4.31 mm × 3.77 mm exposed drain pad with 0.77 mm solder mask opening and 3.04 mm × 0.5 mm thermal vias (minimum 6×) connecting to inner-layer ground planes. This achieves near-datasheet Rthj-case of 2.27 °C/W.
