Product details
Overview
STU2N105K5 from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage N-channel Power MOSFET using MDmesh K5 vertical structure technology, rated for 1050 V VDS, 6 Ω typical RDS(on), and 1.5 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It features ultra-low gate charge (10 nC), Zener-protected gate, and 100% avalanche tested - deployed in high-efficiency flyback and resonant converters operating up to 840 V bus voltage.
For engineers reviewing the STU2N105K5 datasheet, STU2N105K5 pinout, STU2N105K5 application, or STU2N105K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1050 V breakdown rating, 2.08 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 90 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, and DPAK (TO-252) package suitability for medium-power SMPS designs with constrained board space.
Technical Context
This device implements ST's MDmesh K5 proprietary vertical superjunction architecture to minimize conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its 115 pF input capacitance and 0.5 pF reverse transfer capacitance enable fast, controlled switching under high dv/dt conditions up to 50 V/ns.
The integrated source-drain diode exhibits 326 ns reverse recovery time and 1.19 µC Qrr at 25 °C, supporting quasi-resonant and ZVS topologies. The Zener-protected gate withstands ±30 V transient stress, and the 1050 V V(BR)DSS is guaranteed at ID = 1 mA with 3–5 V gate threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 1050 V - supports primary-side switching in offline SMPS up to 840 V DC bus with margin |
| RDS(on) max | 8 Ω - ensures <1.2 W conduction loss at 1.5 A, critical for thermal management in DPAK |
| Qg | 10 nC - enables efficient gate drive with low-power controllers and reduces switching loss |
| EAS | 90 mJ - guarantees ruggedness against unclamped inductive switching events in flyback converters |
| RthJC | 2.08 °C/W - allows 28.8 W dissipation before reaching 150 °C junction limit at 25 °C case |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns - prevents spurious turn-on during high-speed voltage transients in hard-switched PFC stages |
| VGS(th) | 3–5 V - compatible with standard 10 V gate drivers and provides noise immunity above 2 V supply ripple |
Pinout & Package

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP2N105K5 | TO-220 package; identical electrical specs but 3× higher RthJA (50 °C/W vs. 2.08 °C/W junction-to-case) | Suitable for lower-power (<15 W), forced-air-cooled designs where heatsink mounting is feasible | Select when mechanical mounting to heatsink is preferred over PCB thermal pads and board space is unconstrained |
| STW20NK100Z | 1000 V rating, 0.55 Ω RDS(on), 20 A ID - larger die, higher current, but 3× higher Qg (32 nC) and no Zener gate protection | Targeted at high-current PFC boost stages, not flyback primary switches | Choose only for high-current, low-frequency (≤100 kHz) applications where gate drive strength outweighs avalanche robustness needs |
Compared with STP2N105K5 and STW20NK100Z, STU2N105K5 uniquely balances 1050 V capability, DPAK thermal performance, and gate-protected ruggedness - making it optimal for space-constrained, medium-power flyback and auxiliary supplies where reliability under transient stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage for STU2N105K5?
The absolute maximum gate-source voltage is ±30 V, but ST specifies 10 V as the nominal drive level for full RDS(on) characterization. Operating between 8 V and 12 V ensures robust turn-on while staying within the Zener clamp range. Exceeding 15 V offers negligible RDS(on) improvement but increases gate oxide stress risk.
Can STU2N105K5 replace STD2N105K5 in existing designs?
Yes - STU2N105K5 and STD2N105K5 share identical electrical specifications, thermal ratings, and DPAK package dimensions. The 'U' suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-481-D standard, while 'D' indicates tube packaging; both use the same die and assembly process.
Does STU2N105K5 include an integrated body diode, and what are its recovery characteristics?
Yes, it features a monolithic source-drain diode with 326 ns reverse recovery time (TJ = 25 °C) and 1.19 µC Qrr. At 150 °C, trr increases to 525 ns and Qrr rises to 1.83 µC. These values are measured under standardized 100 A/µs di/dt and 60 V VDD conditions per Figure 16 in DS10323.
Is STU2N105K5 compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes - STU2N105K5 is manufactured in ST's ECOPACK2-compliant DPAK (TO-252) package, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Full compliance documentation, including substance declarations and test reports, is available via ST's Quality & Reliability portal.
