Product details
Overview
STP140N6F7 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET using STripFET™ F7 trench technology, designed for high-efficiency switching in power conversion stages. It delivers 60 V VDS, 0.0031 Ω typ. RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 40 A, 80 A continuous drain current, 158 W total power dissipation, and 160 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - deployed in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the STP140N6F7 datasheet, STP140N6F7 pinout, STP140N6F7 application, or STP140N6F7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low Crss/Ciss ratio for EMI immunity, high junction temperature rating (175 °C), TO-220 package thermal resistance (0.95 °C/W), and verified unclamped inductive switching ruggedness.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs an enhanced trench gate structure that reduces both RDS(on) and gate charge (Qg = 55 nC typ.), enabling fast switching with minimal conduction and switching losses. Its low Crss (193 pF) relative to Ciss (3100 pF) improves noise immunity during high-dV/dt transitions.
The device operates with a gate threshold voltage of 2–4 V, supports ±20 V gate drive, and maintains stable on-resistance up to 125 °C case temperature. Its source-drain diode exhibits 1.2 V forward voltage at 80 A and 42.4 ns reverse recovery time under defined inductive load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - maximum blocking voltage for 48 V bus-level applications |
| RDS(on) typ. | 0.0031 Ω at VGS = 10 V, ID = 40 A - enables <100 mW conduction loss at 80 A |
| ID cont. | 80 A at Tcase = 25 °C - limited by TO-220 package thermal capacity |
| EAS | 160 mJ - supports robust unclamped inductive switching without failure |
| Crss/Ciss | 193/3100 pF - low ratio minimizes Miller-induced turn-on risk in hard-switched topologies |
| Qg | 55 nC - reduces gate driver power requirement and switching transition time |
| Rthj-case | 0.95 °C/W - allows 158 W dissipation with ≤150 °C junction-to-case delta |
Pinout & Package
STP140N6F7 is housed in a standard TO-220 type A package with isolated tab (drain-connected). The package features a metal tab for heatsinking, 3 leads, and RoHS-compliant ECOPACK® construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output / heatsink interface | Electrically connected to metal tab; requires insulating washer if mounted to grounded heatsink |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Low-inductance connection critical for minimizing shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations |
| Gate | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring <55 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 0.0031 Ω typ. enables >98% efficiency in 48 V/80 A synchronous rectifier stages |
| Low Crss/Ciss ratio | 6.2% ratio suppresses false turn-on during high-speed switching in noisy environments |
| High avalanche ruggedness | 160 mJ EAS rating validated per JEDEC JESD24-11, supporting reliable operation without snubbers |
| Enhanced thermal performance | 0.95 °C/W Rthj-case allows sustained 80 A operation with forced-air cooling at 25 °C ambient |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 60 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFB4115PBF | RDS(on) = 0.0032 Ω, Qg = 120 nC, TO-220AB package | Higher gate charge increases driver loss and slows switching; lower Crss/Ciss ratio (5.8%) but less EAS (120 mJ) | Preferable only where gate drive strength exceeds 2 A and avalanche stress is minimal |
| IXTH80N60L2 | RDS(on) = 0.0042 Ω, Qg = 48 nC, TO-247 package | Higher RDS(on) raises conduction loss; TO-247 offers better thermal margin but larger footprint | Suitable when board layout allows larger package and junction temperature must stay below 150 °C under 100% load |
Compared with IRFB4115PBF and IXTH80N60L2, STP140N6F7 provides the lowest RDS(on) × Qg figure of merit (0.171 Ω·nC), optimal for high-frequency, high-current switching where both efficiency and EMI control are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for STP140N6F7?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175 °C, and the storage temperature range is –55 to +175 °C. Operation above 150 °C junction temperature requires derating per the Safe Operating Area (SOA) curves in Figure 2 of the datasheet, with thermal design ensuring Rthj-case ≤ 0.95 °C/W under actual airflow and heatsink conditions.
Is STP140N6F7 suitable for paralleling multiple devices?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (see Figure 10) ensures inherent current sharing when paralleled. Successful implementation requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical PCB layout, and identical heatsinking to maintain ΔTj < 5 °C between units for stable load distribution at 80 A total.
Does STP140N6F7 have built-in ESD protection?
No - it lacks integrated gate protection diodes. The gate oxide is rated for ±20 V VGS, and IGSS is specified at 100 nA at VGS = +20 V. External Zener clamps (e.g., 15 V) and series gate resistors are required in production designs to prevent ESD damage during handling and PCB assembly.
Can STP140N6F7 replace older STripFET™ F4 or F5 devices?
Yes - it is a direct upgrade with lower RDS(on) (–22% vs. STP160N6F5), reduced Qg (–18%), and improved EAS (+20%). Pinout and package are identical, allowing drop-in replacement; however, gate drive timing may require minor adjustment due to faster switching transitions and lower Crss.
