Product details
Overview
STP25N60M2-EP from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 600 V, 18 A Power MOSFET in TO-220 package, featuring 0.175 Ω typ. RDS(on), 29 nC total gate charge, and 56 pF COSS. It is engineered for very high-frequency switching converters (>150 kHz), delivering low turn-off energy (7–8 µJ) and Zener-protected gate integrity in industrial SMPS and PFC stages.
For engineers reviewing the STP25N60M2-EP datasheet, STP25N60M2-EP pinout, STP25N60M2-EP application, or STP25N60M2-EP equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche ruggedness (200 mJ EAS), dv/dt immunity (50 V/ns), thermal resistance (0.83 °C/W j-case), and optimized COSS profile for resonant topologies.
Technical Context
This MDmesh™ M2 EP device uses a strip layout and enhanced vertical structure to achieve low conduction loss while maintaining fast, controlled switching. Its 255 pF equivalent output capacitance (COSS,eq) and 1.6 pF Crss enable predictable soft-switching behavior in LLC and ZVS circuits.
The MOSFET integrates a robust body diode with 360 ns trr (Tj = 25 °C) and 1.6 V forward voltage at 18 A, supporting synchronous rectification and bidirectional power flow in bridge configurations without external freewheeling diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 50% voltage margin for transient spikes |
| RDS(on) max | 0.188 Ω - limits conduction loss to ≤34 W at 18 A continuous (TC = 25 °C) |
| Qg | 29 nC - enables efficient gate drive with <1 W driver power at 200 kHz switching |
| Eoff | 7–8 µJ - reduces turn-off losses by >40% vs legacy 600 V MOSFETs in hard-switched PFC |
| COSS,eq | 255 pF - provides stable timing in resonant converters across 0–480 V VDS range |
| Tj max | 150 °C - allows operation in sealed industrial enclosures without forced air cooling |
| Rthj-case | 0.83 °C/W - supports 150 W dissipation with standard TO-220 heatsink (ΔT = 125 °C) |
Pinout & Package
TO-220 type A package with isolated tab (drain-connected), 3-pin through-hole mounting. Standard pin assignment: Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; 7 Ω intrinsic gate resistance ensures stable Miller clamping |
| Pin 2 (Drain / Tab) | High-side power node | Electrically connected to metal tab; requires insulated mounting in floating applications |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Reference return path | Serves as common reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical for EMI control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MDmesh™ M2 EP technology | Combines strip-cell layout and optimized drift region for simultaneous RDS(on) × Qg reduction |
| Zener-protected gate | ±25 V gate-source rating with integrated protection prevents ESD-induced failure during assembly |
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees single-pulse EAS ≥ 200 mJ at Tj = 25 °C for unclamped inductive switching reliability |
| Low Coss profile | 56 pF measured at 100 V with linearized Coss,eq = 255 pF up to 480 V for accurate snubber design |
| High dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns rated MOSFET dv/dt immunity ensures noise-free commutation in high-di/dt motor drives |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-frequency power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP20NM60FD | Higher RDS(on) (0.22 Ω), higher Qg (42 nC), no Zener gate protection | Limited to ≤100 kHz due to slower switching and lower dv/dt immunity (30 V/ns) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and board space permits larger heatsink |
| IPP60R190C6 | Lower RDS(on) (0.19 Ω), higher Coss (110 pF), no avalanche rating published | Requires careful snubber tuning in ZVS designs; not qualified for repetitive avalanche stress | Prefer for fixed-frequency DCM flyback where conduction loss dominates, but avoid in PFC or resonant LLC |
Compared with STP20NM60FD and IPP60R190C6, the STP25N60M2-EP uniquely balances low Qg, low Coss,eq, and guaranteed avalanche performance-making it the only choice for compact, high-efficiency >150 kHz converters requiring field reliability under transient overload.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The STP25N60M2-EP supports 11.3 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 2 of the datasheet. This rating accounts for thermal derating due to reduced RDS(on) temperature coefficient and safe operating area constraints at elevated temperatures.
Is the TO-220 tab electrically isolated from the leads?
No-the TO-220 type A package has the drain terminal connected directly to the metal tab. Pin 2 (Drain) and the tab are internally shorted; electrical isolation requires use of insulating shoulder washers and isolated mounting hardware in PCB layout.
Does this MOSFET require a negative gate turn-off voltage?
No-this device operates with 0 V to +10 V gate drive. The gate threshold voltage is 2–4 V, and the absolute maximum VGS is ±25 V. Negative turn-off bias is unnecessary and not recommended, as the Zener protection is optimized for positive overvoltage events only.
Can STP25N60M2-EP replace STP25NM60N in existing designs?
Yes-with verification of gate drive strength and layout parasitics. The STP25N60M2-EP offers lower Qg (29 nC vs. 45 nC) and improved dv/dt ruggedness (50 V/ns vs. 35 V/ns), but identical pinout and voltage/current ratings. Layout changes may be needed to exploit faster switching without increasing EMI.
