Product details
Overview
STP15N60M2-EP from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 600 V, 11 A Power MOSFET in TO-220 package, featuring 0.340 Ω typ. RDS(on), 17 nC total gate charge, and 15 V/ns diode recovery dv/dt ruggedness. It employs MDmesh™ M2 EP technology for ultra-low turn-off switching losses and is engineered for >150 kHz high-frequency converters in industrial SMPS and PFC stages.
For engineers reviewing the STP15N60M2-EP datasheet, STP15N60M2-EP pinout, STP15N60M2-EP application, or STP15N60M2-EP equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche-rated operation (2.8 A repetitive), Zener-protected gate, 100% unclamped inductive switching tested, and optimized Coss profile for soft-switching topologies.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses a strip-layout MDmesh™ M2 EP vertical structure to achieve low conduction loss while maintaining fast, controlled switching. Its 1.14 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and 125 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy support thermally constrained high-power designs.
The device integrates a robust body diode with 280 ns reverse recovery time (Tj = 25 °C) and 19.5 A peak reverse recovery current, enabling reliable operation in hard- and resonant-switched inductive loads without external snubbing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS Rating | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 50% voltage margin for transient overvoltage |
| RDS(on) typ. | 0.340 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 5.5 A - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 11 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 17 nC - reduces gate drive power and allows use of low-current drivers in high-frequency operation |
| Eoff typ. | 4.7 µJ @ VDD = 400 V, ID = 1.5 A - minimizes switching loss contribution in >150 kHz converters |
| Coss eq. | 148 pF @ VDS = 0–480 V - provides predictable timing for resonant tank design and ZVS implementation |
| Tj max | 150 °C - permits operation in sealed enclosures with limited airflow when mounted on heatsink |
| Avalanche Energy | 125 mJ (single pulse) - withstands unclamped inductive transients without failure in flyback or LLC primary switches |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in TO-220 type A package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard 3-pin through-hole configuration. Mounting hole accommodates M3 screw; tab electrically connected to drain terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D (Tab) | Drain | Main high-side power path; thermally coupled to heatsink; requires insulating washer if chassis-grounded |
| G (Pin 1) | Gate | Control input; sensitive to ESD; requires gate resistor (4.7 Ω typical) to damp ringing and limit dV/dt-induced turn-on |
| S (Pin 3) | Source | Power return reference; connects to driver ground and current-sense shunt; defines local signal reference plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Extremely low gate charge | 17 nC total charge enables efficient 300–500 kHz switching with minimal driver dissipation |
| Optimized Coss profile | 148 pF equivalent output capacitance ensures predictable zero-voltage switching behavior across 0–480 V range |
| Very low turn-off switching losses | 4.7 µJ Eoff at 1.5 A reduces thermal stress in high-duty-cycle PFC boost stages |
| Zener-protected gate | ±25 V gate-source rating with integrated protection prevents gate oxide rupture during layout parasitic coupling |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated for 2.8 A repetitive avalanche current, ensuring field reliability in inductive 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPP60R190C7 | 650 V, 0.190 Ω, 17.5 nC, TO-220FP package; lower RDS(on) but higher Qg and no avalanche rating | Preferred in space-constrained designs where conduction loss dominates; unsuitable for unclamped inductive loads | Select only when gate drive capability supports 17.5 nC and system-level avalanche immunity is ensured externally |
| STW20N65M5 | 650 V, 0.220 Ω, 22 nC, TO-247 package; MDmesh™ M5 process, higher current rating (20 A), no Zener gate protection | Better for higher-power (>5 kW) applications requiring lower RDS(on); larger footprint and higher gate drive demand | Choose when thermal headroom exists and board layout accommodates TO-247; verify gate driver slew rate compatibility |
Compared with IPP60R190C7 and STW20N65M5, the STP15N60M2-EP offers superior avalanche ruggedness and Zener gate protection in a cost-optimized TO-220 form factor-making it ideal for mid-power industrial converters where reliability under transient stress is prioritized over minimum conduction loss.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The STP15N60M2-EP supports 7 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 2 of the datasheet. This derating reflects thermal limits imposed by its 1.14 °C/W junction-to-case resistance and safe operating area constraints-not gate drive capability or package current-handling limits.
Is the TO-220 tab electrically isolated or drain-connected?
The TO-220 tab is drain-connected and not electrically isolated. The "EP" suffix denotes enhanced performance, not isolation; users must apply an insulating washer and thermal pad when mounting to a grounded heatsink to prevent short circuits.
Does this MOSFET include integrated gate Zener protection?
Yes-the device integrates a Zener diode between gate and source, enabling ±25 V absolute maximum gate-source voltage rating. This protection clamps transient overvoltage induced by layout parasitics or Miller coupling, eliminating need for external gate Zener in most applications.
Can STP15N60M2-EP replace STP15N60M2 in existing designs?
Yes-STP15N60M2-EP is a drop-in replacement for STP15N60M2 with identical pinout, electrical specs, and package. The "-EP" suffix indicates enhanced performance version with improved RDS(on) consistency and tighter dynamic parameter distribution, verified per production data sheet DocID027298 Rev 2.
