Product details
Overview
STP19NB20 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel enhancement-mode PowerMESH™ MOSFET rated for 200 V drain-source voltage, 19 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 0.15 Ω typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It features 100% avalanche tested ruggedness, 5.5 V/ns dv/dt capability, and is packaged in TO-220 for high-current switching in offline SMPS and telecom DC–AC converters.
For engineers reviewing the STP19NB20 datasheet, STP19NB20 pinout, STP19NB20 application, or STP19NB20 equivalent, this device supports high-speed power conversion with verified unclamped inductive switching performance, low gate charge (29–40 nC), and robust thermal resistance (1.0 °C/W junction-to-case) - critical for industrial and telecom power stage design.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's proprietary MESH OVERLAY™ process and strip layout architecture to achieve minimal RDS(on) per die area and superior avalanche energy handling (EAS = 580 mJ). Its edge termination structure enables stable operation under extreme dv/dt stress up to 5.5 V/ns without parasitic turn-on.
The device operates with a gate threshold voltage of 3–5 V and delivers 3 S forward transconductance at 9.5 A. Its dynamic characteristics include 15 ns turn-on delay, 10 ns off-voltage rise time, and 210 ns reverse recovery time in source-drain diode conduction - optimized for hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 200 V - Withstands full mains-referenced DC bus in 115/230 VAC offline SMPS without derating. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 0.15 Ω at VGS = 10 V, ID = 9.5 A - Enables <1.4 W conduction loss at 19 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID cont. | 19 A at TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current primary-side switching in 300–500 W power supplies. |
| Qg | 29–40 nC - Low gate drive power demand, compatible with standard PWM controllers like UC384x. |
| EAS | 580 mJ - Sustains repetitive unclamped inductive switching events without failure in flyback or forward converters. |
| dv/dt capability | 5.5 V/ns - Prevents false triggering during fast voltage transients in high-noise industrial environments. |
| Rthj-case | 1.0 °C/W - Allows direct mounting to heatsink for thermal management in compact TO-220 layouts. |
Pinout & Package
STP19NB20 is housed in a through-hole TO-220 package with three leads: Gate (pin 1), Drain (pin 2), Source (pin 3). The metal tab is electrically connected to the Drain terminal and must be isolated from heatsink unless referenced to high-side potential.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Left) | Gate | Control input requiring ≤±30 V rating; low capacitance (Ciss = 1000 pF) minimizes driver loading. |
| Pin 2 (Middle) | Drain | Main high-voltage power path; connected to metal tab - requires insulated mounting for floating applications. |
| Pin 3 (Right) | Source | Power return reference; ties to ground or low-side switch node; carries full load current (19 A). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PowerMESH™ process | Delivers lowest RDS(on)/area among 200 V MOSFETs, enabling smaller die size without sacrificing current rating. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees single-pulse EAS ≥ 580 mJ and repetitive IAR ≥ 19 A - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive loads. |
| Minimized gate charge | Qg = 29–40 nC reduces switching losses and eases gate driver selection for 100–500 kHz operation. |
| High dv/dt immunity | Rated 5.5 V/ns - suppresses spurious turn-on during fast voltage transitions in high-frequency SMPS designs. |
| Source-drain diode | VSD = 1.5 V at ISD = 19 A, trr = 210 ns - supports synchronous rectification or freewheeling in half-bridge configurations. |
Applications
| Telecom DC–AC Inverters | Industrial Offline SMPS |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: 48 VDC input to 230 VAC output inverters for telecom base station backup systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switching element in full-bridge topology operating at 20–50 kHz with unclamped inductive stress. Use Value: 580 mJ avalanche energy rating ensures reliable operation during load dump or short-circuit events without desaturation protection. |
Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 350 W open-frame AC–DC power supply for factory automation controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback converter with 100 kHz switching frequency. Use Value: 0.15 Ω RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <1.4 W at full load, enabling natural convection cooling. |
| Consumer Audio Amplifier PSUs | UPS Battery Charger Stages |
|
Use Scenario: High-efficiency Class-D amplifier power supply with active PFC front-end and LLC resonant output stage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Boost switch in continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC circuit operating at 65 kHz. Use Value: Low Qgd/Qgs ratio (13 nC / 9.5 nC) improves zero-voltage switching margin and reduces EMI generation. |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional DC–DC stage in 120 VDC battery charger for 3-phase UPS systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier in secondary-side LLC resonant converter with body-diode commutation. Use Value: 210 ns reverse recovery time and 14.5 A peak IRRM support efficient soft-recovery during phase-shift transitions. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFP260N | RDS(on) = 0.04 Ω lower (0.11 Ω), but EAS = 470 mJ and dv/dt = 4.0 V/ns - less rugged under unclamped inductive stress. | Preferred in low-loss, low-noise audio PSUs where avalanche margin is secondary to conduction efficiency. | Select when lower RDS(on) outweighs need for 5.5 V/ns dv/dt immunity and 580 mJ EAS. |
| STP20NF20 | Same 200 V rating and TO-220 package, but RDS(on) = 0.18 Ω and Qg = 45 nC - higher conduction and switching losses. | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial motor drives where moderate switching frequency (<60 kHz) is used. | Choose only if STP19NB20 is unavailable and system thermal budget allows +0.3 Ω RDS(on) penalty. |
Compared with IRFP260N and STP20NF20, STP19NB20 uniquely balances low RDS(on), high avalanche energy, and extreme dv/dt immunity - making it optimal for telecom and industrial SMPS where reliability under transient stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for STP19NB20?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C, with derating beginning at TC = 25 °C. At case temperatures above 25 °C, power dissipation must be reduced linearly using the 1.0 °C/W thermal resistance. Continuous operation beyond 150 °C risks irreversible parametric shift and bond-wire failure.
Can STP19NB20 be used in synchronous rectification?
Yes - its integrated source-drain diode has VSD = 1.5 V at 19 A and trr = 210 ns at 150 °C, enabling use as a freewheeling or synchronous rectifier in LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge topologies. However, external synchronous MOSFETs are preferred for >95% efficiency targets due to lower VSD.
Is STP19NB20 RoHS compliant?
Yes - STP19NB20 meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Lead-free TO-220 packaging and halogen-free molding compound are standard; no exemptions apply per ST's official compliance documentation dated 2002 onward.
Does STP19NB20 require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes - a 4.7 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for switching time measurements and EMI control. Without it, ringing and overshoot may occur due to PCB trace inductance interacting with Ciss (1000 pF) and gate driver output impedance, risking false turn-on or shoot-through in bridge configurations.
