Product details
Overview
STP300NH02L from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-220 package, designed for high-current OR-ing and DC/DC converter switching. It features 24 V VDS, < 2.2 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 V VGS and 80 A, 120 A continuous drain current (TC = 25°C), and 300 W total power dissipation - enabling low-loss power path control in redundant 12–24 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the STP300NH02L datasheet, STP300NH02L pinout, STP300NH02L application, or STP300NH02L equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at operating temperature, gate charge (109.4 nC), safe operating area under pulsed load, source-drain diode recovery (63 ns trr), and thermal resistance (0.5 °C/W junction-to-case).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's STripFET™ III process to minimize conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its low RDS(on) × Qg product establishes industry benchmark performance for high-current synchronous rectification and OR-ing circuits where forward voltage drop and turn-on loss dominate efficiency.
The device operates with ±20 V gate drive, supports unclamped inductive switching up to 60 A avalanche current, and delivers fast switching (td(on) = 18 ns, tf = 94.4 ns) with tightly controlled capacitance (Ciss = 7055 pF, Crss = 307 pF) - critical for stable operation in high-frequency, high-density DC/DC topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 24 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12–24 V bus architectures without derating. |
| RDS(on) | < 2.2 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 80 A - Enables ≤0.176 W conduction loss at 120 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID (cont) | 120 A @ TC = 25°C - Supports high-current power rails in server VRMs and telecom hot-swap modules. |
| Qg | 109.4 nC - Determines gate driver strength needed for <100 ns switching transitions at full load. |
| Rthj-case | 0.5 °C/W - Allows 300 W power dissipation with ≤150°C junction rise above 25°C case temperature. |
| trr | 63 ns @ Tj = 25°C - Minimizes reverse recovery loss during synchronous rectification in buck converters. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220 package (3-lead, through-hole, isolated tab). Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab-connected), Pin 3 = Source. Drain-to-tab isolation enables direct mounting to heatsink without insulator when source-referenced layout is used.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (G) | Gate terminal | Controls channel conduction; requires ≥10 V drive for full enhancement; input capacitance dominates switching timing. |
| Pin 2 (D) | Drain terminal / metal tab | High-current output node; electrically connected to package tab; must be thermally coupled to heatsink. |
| Pin 3 (S) | Source terminal | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; ties to system ground or low-side return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) × Qg benchmark | Industry-leading figure-of-merit enabling lowest combined conduction + switching loss in 24 V OR-ing. |
| Low-profile TO-220 | Height ≤14 mm - fits constrained board space while maintaining 300 W thermal capability. |
| ECOPACK® compliance | Lead-free second-level interconnect per JEDEC JESD97 - meets RoHS and halogen-free manufacturing requirements. |
| Robust avalanche rating | 1.6 J single-pulse EAS - withstands transient overvoltage events in unregulated DC bus applications. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF1404ZPBF | RDS(on) = 4.7 mΩ @ 10 V (more than double); Qg = 131 nC; VDS = 40 V | Higher conduction loss limits use to ≤60 A continuous; wider VDS margin suits 36 V systems. | Select only if 40 V rating is required and thermal headroom allows higher RDS(on). |
| IXTH120N20L-TR | RDS(on) = 2.0 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 125 nC; VDS = 20 V; D²PAK package | Lower VDS restricts to 12–15 V systems; surface-mount package reduces assembly cost but increases thermal resistance. | Prefer for SMT production where 20 V max is sufficient and PCB layout favors D²PAK footprint. |
Compared with IRF1404ZPBF and IXTH120N20L-TR, STP300NH02L offers the lowest RDS(on) × Qg product in TO-220 for 24 V systems, delivering superior efficiency in high-current OR-ing and VRM applications where thermal management and gate drive energy are critical constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for STP300NH02L?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175°C, with guaranteed operation from –55°C to 175°C. Derating begins at TC = 25°C using the 2 W/°C factor; at TC = 100°C, maximum power dissipation drops to 150 W. Thermal design must maintain Tj ≤ 150°C for reliable long-term operation under repetitive stress.
Can STP300NH02L be used in linear mode (non-switching) applications?
No - this MOSFET is optimized for switching operation only. Its Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve shows limited linear-mode capability: at VDS = 10 V, maximum continuous current is ~40 A; at VDS = 20 V, it drops to ~15 A. Linear use risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) and insufficient SOA margin.
Is STP300NH02L suitable for automotive applications?
It is not qualified as AEC-Q101 automotive grade. While electrically capable of 12 V automotive use, ST does not guarantee performance under automotive temperature cycling, humidity, or vibration stress. For automotive designs, ST recommends AEC-Q101-qualified alternatives such as STD35N2LH5 or STB300NH02L in D²PAK with automotive qualification documentation.
What is the gate threshold voltage range, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
VGS(th) is specified from 1.0 V to 2.0 V at ID = 250 µA. This low threshold enables logic-level drive compatibility, but full enhancement requires ≥10 V gate-source voltage to achieve rated RDS(on). Drive circuits must deliver ≥10 V with sufficient peak current (>2 A) to charge 109.4 nC gate charge within required switching time.
