Product details
Overview
STP28N60DM2 from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage N-channel Power MOSFET in TO-220 package, featuring 600 V VDS, 0.13 Ω typ. RDS(on), 21 A continuous drain current, and fast-recovery body diode with 140 ns trr at 25 °C. It is engineered for high-efficiency bridge topologies and ZVS phase-shift converters in industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the STP28N60DM2 datasheet, STP28N60DM2 pinout, STP28N60DM2 application, or STP28N60DM2 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche ruggedness (350 mJ EAS), dv/dt immunity (50 V/ns), low gate charge (34 nC), Zener-protected gate, and thermal resistance (0.74 °C/W Rthj-case).
Technical Context
This MDmesh™ DM2 device integrates a fast-recovery body diode with ultra-low Qrr (0.5 µC typ.) and trr, enabling reduced switching losses in hard- and soft-switching topologies. Its low Ciss (1500 pF typ.) and Coss (70 pF typ.) support high-frequency operation up to 500 kHz.
The built-in back-to-back gate-source Zener diodes provide ±30 V breakdown protection, eliminating external TVS requirements. The device meets full production qualification with 100% avalanche testing and operates reliably across –55 to 150 °C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 600 V - supports primary-side switching in 400 V DC bus and 3-phase rectified applications |
| RDS(on) max | 0.16 Ω - ensures <1.7 W conduction loss at 10.5 A, critical for thermal management in enclosed enclosures |
| ID cont. | 21 A @ Tcase = 25 °C - enables high-power density designs without forced air cooling |
| Qg | 34 nC - reduces gate drive power and allows use of low-current drivers like STGAP2SIC |
| trr | 140 ns @ Tj = 25 °C - minimizes commutation loss and EMI in LLC resonant converters |
| EAS | 350 mJ - withstands unclamped inductive switching events in motor drives and PFC stages |
| Rthj-case | 0.74 °C/W - enables 170 W dissipation with ≤125 °C case rise, suitable for heatsink-limited industrial layouts |
Pinout & Package
STP28N60DM2 uses the standard TO-220 type A package with 3 leads: Drain (tab), Source (pin 1), Gate (pin 2). 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Tab (Drain) | Main high-side current path and thermal interface | Electrically active drain node; requires insulating washer when mounted to grounded heatsink |
| Pin 1 (Source) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-inductance return path; connects directly to PCB ground plane or shunt resistor |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control input for channel modulation | High-impedance node requiring <4.7 Ω series resistance to damp ringing and prevent oscillation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast-recovery body diode | 140 ns trr and 0.5 µC Qrr reduce reverse recovery loss by >65% vs. standard superjunction MOSFETs |
| Extremely low gate charge | 34 nC total gate charge enables efficient 300–500 kHz operation with minimal driver loss |
| Zener-protected gate | ±30 V gate-source Zener breakdown eliminates need for external clamping diodes in noisy industrial environments |
| 100% avalanche tested | 350 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy rating ensures robustness against transient overvoltage in PFC and flyback circuits |
| High dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns rated dv/dt prevents spurious turn-on during fast voltage transients in half-bridge configurations |

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, 0.19 Ω RDS(on), 19 A, CoolMOS™ C7 - higher RDS(on) and lower ID than STP28N60DM2 | Limited to ≤15 A continuous loads; requires larger heatsink for same power level | Prefer when 650 V rating is mandatory and gate drive is optimized for higher Qg (42 nC) |
| FCH067N60F | 600 V, 0.067 Ω RDS(on), 44 A, SuperFET III - lower on-resistance but no integrated fast diode | Requires external SiC Schottky for ZVS operation; lacks Zener gate protection | Choose only when lowest conduction loss is prioritized and external diode integration is acceptable |
Compared with IPP60R190C7 and FCH067N60F, STP28N60DM2 uniquely balances low RDS(on), fast diode recovery, gate Zener protection, and proven avalanche ruggedness-making it optimal for space-constrained, reliability-critical industrial converters where design simplicity and field robustness are paramount.

FAQ
Is STP28N60DM2 pin-compatible with earlier STP28N60D variants?
No. STP28N60DM2 uses the MDmesh™ DM2 process with revised internal layout and optimized diode characteristics. While both share TO-220 packaging and identical pinout (Drain-tab, Source-pin1, Gate-pin2), the DM2 version exhibits significantly lower Qrr (0.5 µC vs. 2.1 µC) and improved dv/dt immunity-requiring gate drive tuning and layout review before drop-in replacement.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching?
For hard-switched applications at 100–300 kHz, a 4.7 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to suppress oscillation while maintaining <20 ns rise/fall times. At 500 kHz, reduce to 2.2 Ω to limit total switching time to <40 ns; exceeding 10 Ω risks incomplete turn-on and increased conduction loss due to partial enhancement.
Does STP28N60DM2 require external gate protection in industrial environments?
No. The integrated back-to-back Zener diodes provide ±30 V gate-source clamping, validated per AEC-Q101 stress tests. External TVS devices are unnecessary unless system-level transients exceed ±40 V (e.g., direct lightning coupling), in which case a 24 V bidirectional TVS at the gate driver output is advised.
Can STP28N60DM2 be used in synchronous rectification topologies?
No. As an N-channel high-side switch with non-isolated source terminal, STP28N60DM2 cannot function as a synchronous rectifier. Its fast body diode is intended for freewheeling-not controlled rectification. For SR applications, use dedicated low-VDS logic-level MOSFETs like STP16NF06L with separate gate control.
