Product details
Overview
STP24N60M2 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 600 V, 168 mΩ typ. (190 mΩ max), 18 A Power MOSFET in TO-220 package, built on MDmesh M2 technology. It delivers low gate charge (29 nC), optimized Coss profile (55 pF), and 100% avalanche-tested ruggedness for high-efficiency AC-DC and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the STP24N60M2 datasheet, STP24N60M2 pinout, STP24N60M2 application, or STP24N60M2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V blocking voltage, 150 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C, 15 V/ns diode recovery dv/dt rating, and Zener-protected gate structure for robust gate drive resilience.
Technical Context
This device uses ST's MDmesh M2 strip layout and enhanced vertical structure to achieve low RDS(on) and minimized switching losses. Its 29 nC total gate charge and 12 nC Qgd enable fast, controllable turn-on/turn-off transitions under hard-switching conditions.
The integrated body diode exhibits 332 ns reverse recovery time (TJ = 25 °C) and 4 µC Qrr, with Zener protection between gate and source ensuring ±25 V VGS tolerance and immunity to transient overvoltage during layout parasitic coupling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 600 V - Sustains full mains-derived bus voltages in offline SMPS without derating |
| RDS(on) | 168 mΩ typ. - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 9 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 29 nC - Reduces gate driver power demand and enables higher PWM frequencies |
| Coss | 55 pF - Minimizes capacitive turn-off energy loss in resonant and quasi-resonant topologies |
| EAS | 180 mJ - Supports unclamped inductive switching stress without failure |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Allows operation in thermally constrained industrial enclosures with margin |
| dV/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns - Withstands rapid voltage transients during commutation in PFC and LLC stages |
Pinout & Package
STP24N60M2 is housed in a TO-220 package with isolated tab (drain-connected). The case is electrically connected to the drain terminal, requiring insulated mounting hardware when used in non-isolated configurations.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Left) | Gate (G) | High-impedance control input; requires ≤±25 V drive and low-inductance routing to suppress ringing |
| 2 (Center) | Drain (D) | Main high-voltage power path; electrically tied to metal tab - must be isolated from heatsink unless referenced to same potential |
| 3 (Right) | Source (S) | Return path for load current; serves as local ground reference for gate drive loop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MDmesh M2 silicon process | Delivers 168 mΩ RDS(on) at 600 V - 25% lower on-resistance than prior-generation 600 V MOSFETs |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated gate-source clamp ensures reliable operation under ±25 V transients without external TVS |
| 100% avalanche rated | Guarantees single-pulse EAS = 180 mJ - eliminates need for external snubbers in flyback and forward converters |
| Low Coss eq. (258 pF) | Reduces turn-off switching loss by >30% vs. standard superjunction devices at 400 V bus |
| Optimized diode recovery | Qrr = 4 µC and trr = 332 ns enable clean zero-current switching in critical conduction mode (CRM) PFC |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW24N60M2 | Same die, TO-247 package - lower RthJC (0.83 °C/W vs. 0.83 °C/W identical) but larger footprint and higher cost | Better thermal performance in high-power (>200 W) open-frame designs with direct heatsink mounting | Select when junction-to-case thermal resistance must be maintained under >100 W continuous dissipation |
| IPP60R190C7 | Infineon CoolMOS C7 - 190 mΩ @ 600 V, 22 nC Qg, but no integrated Zener protection and lower EAS (120 mJ) | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer PSUs where gate protection is implemented externally | Choose only if external gate clamping is acceptable and avalanche margin is verified in system-level testing |
Compared with STW24N60M2, STP24N60M2 offers identical electrical specs in a smaller, lower-cost TO-220 package ideal for space-constrained industrial PSUs; versus IPP60R190C7, it provides superior gate ruggedness and avalanche reliability without added BOM components.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for STP24N60M2 at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current ID is 12 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 1 of DS9377 Rev 6. This derating from 18 A (at TC = 25 °C) reflects thermal limitations of the TO-220 package under elevated ambient conditions and must be applied in thermal design calculations.
Does STP24N60M2 require an external gate resistor for safe operation?
Yes - a gate resistor (typically 4.7 Ω to 22 Ω) is required to control dV/dt and di/dt during switching. The datasheet specifies switching times with RG = 4.7 Ω (Table 6), and omitting this resistor risks oscillation, shoot-through, and gate oxide damage due to uncontrolled ringing.
Can STP24N60M2 replace older STP24NM60 in existing designs?
Yes - STP24N60M2 is a direct drop-in upgrade to STP24NM60, offering lower RDS(on) (168 mΩ vs. 220 mΩ), reduced Qg (29 nC vs. 45 nC), and improved dv/dt ruggedness (50 V/ns vs. 35 V/ns), with identical TO-220 pinout and voltage ratings.
Is the TO-220 tab of STP24N60M2 electrically isolated from the leads?
No - the metal tab is internally connected to the drain terminal (Pin 2). Electrical isolation from the heatsink is mandatory unless the heatsink is referenced to the drain potential; ST recommends using insulating pads or shoulder washers compliant with IEC 60950-1 creepage requirements.
