Product details

Overview

STP16NF06FP from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-220FP package, rated for 60 V drain-source voltage, 11 A continuous drain current at T_C = 25°C, and 0.08 Ω typical R_DS(on) at V_GS = 10 V. It features rugged avalanche capability (130 mJ single-pulse EAS), high dv/dt immunity (20 V/ns), and low gate charge (10 nC total) for efficient switching in DC-DC converters and motor control stages.

For engineers reviewing the STP16NF06FP datasheet, STP16NF06FP pinout, STP16NF06FP application, or STP16NF06FP equivalent, this device is selected for medium-power industrial switching where thermal performance in constrained PCB layouts, fast turn-off behavior (6 ns fall time), and reliable unclamped inductive switching are critical design requirements.

Technical Context

This MOSFET employs ST's STripFET™ II process with strip-based cell architecture, enabling high die packing density and low on-resistance while maintaining robust safe operating area (SOA) in both linear and switching modes. Its 6 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and 25 W total power dissipation at T_C = 25°C define its thermal envelope in surface-mounted heatsink applications.

The device is characterized for operation up to 175°C junction temperature and supports repetitive avalanche (I_AR = 16 A) without degradation. Its source-drain diode exhibits 1.3 V forward voltage at 16 A and 50 ns reverse recovery time under specified inductive switching conditions (di/dt = 100 A/µs, T_j = 150°C).

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DSS	60 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines use in ≤48 V nominal bus systems with margin.
R_DS(on) max	0.1 Ω - Limits conduction loss to ≤12.1 W at 11 A; enables compact thermal design with moderate heatsinking.
I_D cont @ T_C=25°C	11 A - Continuous current rating under case-cooled conditions; derates to 7.5 A at 100°C case temperature.
E_AS	130 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy; supports reliable operation during inductive load turn-off transients.
Q_g	10 nC - Total gate charge at V_GS = 10 V; determines driver strength requirement and switching loss trade-off.
dv/dt immunity	20 V/ns - Minimum tolerable voltage transient slope across drain-source; suppresses false turn-on in noisy environments.
t_f	6 ns - Fall time with R_G = 4.7 Ω; enables high-frequency PWM operation up to ~1 MHz with controlled ringing.

Pinout & Package

STP16NF06FP uses the TO-220FP (Full-Pak) package: insulated plastic case with integral heatsink tab, 3-pin vertical mounting configuration, and lead-free ECOPACK® compliance. The tab is electrically connected to the drain terminal.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (Source)	Source electrode	Low-side return path; connects directly to PCB ground plane or source rail; carries full load current.
2 (Gate)	Control input	High-impedance MOS gate; requires <100 nA leakage current drive; sensitive to ESD and layout-induced ringing.
3 (Drain / Tab)	Power output / Heat sink interface	Drain node tied to heatsink; electrically active and insulated only by package molding; must be isolated from chassis unless system ground referenced.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
STripFET™ II process	Enables 0.08 Ω R_DS(on) in TO-220FP without compromising SOA or avalanche ruggedness.
Exceptional dv/dt capability	20 V/ns rating prevents spurious turn-on in high-noise motor drive or SMPS primary-side switching.
Low gate charge at 100°C	Q_g remains stable across temperature; ensures consistent switching timing in thermally stressed environments.
Rugged unclamped inductive switching	Validated 130 mJ EAS and 16 A I_AR support direct replacement of mechanical relays in solenoid drivers.
ECOPACK® compliant	Lead-free second-level interconnect meets RoHS and JEDEC JESD97; marked on package and inner box label.

Applications

Use Value: Reduces thermal footprint by 30% vs. TO-220 equivalents due to TO-220FP's lower R_thj-case (6 °C/W) and integrated insulation.

LED Constant-Current Drivers

Solenoid & Relay Replacement

Use Scenario: High-side or low-side current regulation for multi-string 12–36 V LED arrays in signage and machine vision lighting.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STP16NF06	Same die, TO-220 (non-insulated) package; 3.33 °C/W R_thj-case, 45 W P_tot, 16 A I_D rating.	Requires external insulator for heatsink mounting; suited for higher-power, open-frame designs with forced-air cooling.	Select when thermal budget allows higher dissipation and mechanical isolation is managed externally.
IRFZ44NPBF	60 V, 49 A, 0.028 Ω R_DS(on), TO-220; higher current but larger gate charge (71 nC) and no published EAS rating.	Lacks validated avalanche ruggedness; unsuitable for unclamped inductive loads without snubbers.	Prefer only in resistive or lightly inductive switching where gate drive strength exceeds 1 A peak and SOA is not challenged.

Compared with STP16NF06FP, STP16NF06 offers higher power handling but demands external isolation, while IRFZ44NPBF trades avalanche safety for lower R_DS(on)-making STP16NF06FP optimal for space-constrained, insulated, medium-power industrial switching where reliability under transient stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature and how does it affect continuous current rating?

The STP16NF06FP has a maximum junction temperature (T_J) of 175°C. Its continuous drain current drops from 11 A at T_C = 25°C to 7.5 A at T_C = 100°C due to thermal derating governed by its 6 °C/W junction-to-case resistance. This linear derating ensures predictable current capability under real heatsink conditions.

Is the TO-220FP package electrically insulated, and what is its isolation voltage rating?

Yes, the TO-220FP package provides electrical insulation between the drain-connected metal tab and the PCB mounting surface. Its insulation withstand voltage (V_ISO) is rated at 2500 V DC, verified per manufacturer test conditions, enabling direct heatsink mounting without additional insulating hardware in 24–48 V systems.

Can STP16NF06FP replace STP16NF06 in existing designs?

STP16NF06FP can replace STP16NF06 only if thermal and current requirements align with its lower 11 A/25 W ratings and insulated package constraints. Pinout and gate characteristics are identical, but the TO-220FP's higher thermal resistance (6 vs. 3.33 °C/W) and reduced current capacity require layout and thermal review before substitution.

Does STP16NF06FP support gate drive from standard 5 V microcontrollers?

No-its gate threshold voltage (V_GS(th)) ranges from 2 V to 4 V, but full enhancement requires ≥10 V V_GS to achieve rated R_DS(on) ≤0.1 Ω. Driving from 5 V logic results in significantly higher on-resistance (>0.5 Ω), excessive conduction loss, and potential thermal runaway; a dedicated gate driver or level-shifter is mandatory.
