Product details
Overview
STP10N62K3 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 620 V, 700 mΩ typ., 8.4 A MDmesh K3 Power MOSFET in TO-220FP package, designed for high-voltage switching in offline SMPS, PFC stages, and industrial inverters. It delivers 12 V/ns dv/dt capability, 220 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, and Zener-protected gate.
For engineers reviewing the STP10N62K3 datasheet, STP10N62K3 pinout, STP10N62K3 application, or STP10N62K3 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 10 V gate drive, 100% avalanche-tested ruggedness, low Coss (138 pF), fast diode recovery (320 ns), and TO-220FP thermal resistance (4.17 °C/W).
Technical Context
This device uses ST's optimized vertical MDmesh K3 structure to reduce specific on-resistance while maintaining high voltage blocking. Its low Crss (16 pF) and Co(er) (38 pF) minimize Miller effect and switching losses in hard-switched topologies.
The integrated Zener-protected gate withstands ±30 V stress, and its improved body diode exhibits 2.9 µC Qrr at 150 °C - critical for reducing EMI and commutation losses in bridge configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 620 V - supports 400 V AC mains with ≥2× safety margin in offline converters |
| RDS(on) max | 750 mΩ - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 4 A continuous drain current |
| ID (TC=25°C) | 8.4 A - defines maximum continuous output capability with heatsink |
| EAS | 220 mJ - ensures robust unclamped inductive switching without failure |
| dv/dt rating | 12 V/ns - prevents spurious turn-on in high-speed, high-dV/dt environments |
| Coss | 138 pF - reduces capacitive switching loss and improves efficiency above 100 kHz |
| Qgd | 23 nC - determines Miller plateau duration and gate driver power requirement |
Pinout & Package
TO-220FP package: insulated flange, vertical mounting, 3-pin through-hole outline with integral heat sink interface. Thermal resistance RthJC = 4.17 °C/W enables direct PCB copper pad cooling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal requiring ≤±30 V drive; Zener-protected against transients |
| 2 (D) | Drain | High-voltage output node; connected to heatsink via insulated flange |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return path and reference for gate drive; low-inductance layout critical |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees single-pulse EAS = 220 mJ at TJ = 25 °C without screening failure |
| Extremely high dv/dt capability | 12 V/ns rating prevents false triggering during fast voltage transients in bridge legs |
| Very low intrinsic capacitance | Ciss = 1250 pF and Crss = 16 pF reduce gate drive loss and improve switching speed |
| Improved diode reverse recovery | Qrr = 2.9 µC at 150 °C lowers commutation loss and EMI in synchronous rectification |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated 30 V Zener clamps gate-source voltage, eliminating external protection components |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP12N62K3 | Higher ID (10 A), lower RDS(on) (600 mΩ typ.), same VDS and package | Suitable for higher-current PFC or inverter legs where thermal headroom is constrained | Select when conduction loss dominates and gate drive capability supports higher Qg (48 nC) |
| FQP10N62F | Same VDS and ID, but higher RDS(on) (850 mΩ), no Zener gate protection, TO-220 non-FP | Lacks insulated flange and avalanche rating; limited to non-safety-critical, low-cost designs | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-reliability consumer applications with derated voltage margin |
Compared with STP10N62K3, STP12N62K3 offers lower conduction loss at higher current but requires more gate drive energy, while FQP10N62F sacrifices ruggedness and thermal isolation for lower unit cost - making STP10N62K3 optimal for industrial-grade reliability with balanced performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for STP10N62K3?
The junction temperature must not exceed 150 °C under steady-state operation. With RthJC = 4.17 °C/W and PTOT = 30 W at TC = 25 °C, the case temperature must be held below 120 °C to maintain 30 °C thermal margin - achievable using a 15 cm² 2 oz copper pad with thermal vias.
Does STP10N62K3 require external gate protection?
No. The device integrates a bidirectional Zener diode between gate and source, rated for ±30 V, eliminating the need for external TVS or resistor-Zener networks. This simplifies gate drive design and improves board-level surge immunity without adding component count.
How does the body diode performance compare to standard MOSFETs?
Its body diode achieves 320 ns trr and 2 µC Qrr at 25 °C - 35% lower Qrr than legacy MDmesh K2 devices. At 150 °C, Qrr rises to 2.9 µC, still outperforming most 600 V competitors, enabling reduced snubber losses and cleaner zero-voltage switching transitions.
Can STP10N62K3 be used in synchronous rectification?
No - it is an N-channel high-side switch optimized for hard-switched topologies, not low-side synchronous rectification. Its body diode is optimized for reverse recovery in inductive switching, not forward conduction efficiency. For SR, dedicated low-VF trench MOSFETs like STP20NM50N are recommended.
