Product details
Overview
STW10N105K5 from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage N-channel Power MOSFET using MDmesh K5 technology, rated for 1050 V VDS, 1.0 Ω typical RDS(on), and 6 A continuous drain current in TO-247 package. It features ultra-low gate charge (21.5 nC), 100% avalanche tested operation, and Zener-protected gate, targeting high-efficiency switching in industrial HVDC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STW10N105K5 datasheet, STW10N105K5 pinout, STW10N105K5 application, or STW10N105K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1050 V breakdown voltage, 2.5 kV insulation withstand rating, 50 V/ns MOSFET dv/dt ruggedness, and 140 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - all critical for reliable operation in flyback, resonant, and PFC stages.
Technical Context
This device implements a proprietary vertical MDmesh K5 structure to minimize conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its 545 pF input capacitance and 15.5 nC gate-drain charge enable fast, controlled turn-on/turn-off with low EMI generation under hard-switching conditions at up to 840 V bus voltage.
The integrated source-drain diode exhibits 345 ns reverse recovery time and 3.53 µC Qrr at 25 °C, supporting quasi-resonant and zero-voltage switching topologies. Thermal resistance RthJC of 0.96 °C/W (TO-247) ensures effective junction-to-case heat transfer under sustained 6 A conduction.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXTH10N100 | 1000 V VDS, 1.2 Ω RDS(on), 25 nC Qg, TO-247 package | Lower voltage rating limits use to ≤650 V bus; higher Qg increases gate drive loss | Prefer where cost sensitivity outweighs 50 V margin and efficiency targets are relaxed |
| IPP60R190C7 | 650 V VDS, 0.19 Ω RDS(on), 39 nC Qg, TO-220 package | Insufficient voltage rating for 800 V+ systems; unsuitable for direct replacement without topology change | Only viable if redesigning to lower bus voltage and accepting larger die area per watt |
Compared with IXTH10N100 and IPP60R190C7, STW10N105K5 uniquely delivers 1050 V capability with sub-22 nC gate charge and 140 mJ avalanche energy - enabling single-device solutions in 800–1000 V systems without trade-offs in ruggedness or thermal performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage for STW10N105K5?
The absolute maximum gate-source voltage is ±30 V, but ST specifies 10 V as the optimal drive level for full enhancement while maintaining safe margin against gate oxide stress. Driving above 12 V yields negligible RDS(on) improvement (<2%) and increases risk of gate leakage degradation over time.
Does STW10N105K5 require an external gate resistor for stability?
Yes - a minimum 4.7 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing caused by PCB trace inductance interacting with 7 Ω intrinsic gate resistance and 545 pF input capacitance. Lower values risk oscillation during fast transitions, especially with high-current gate drivers.
Can STW10N105K5 be used in parallel configurations?
Parallel operation is not recommended due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) being insufficient to ensure current sharing across units. Mismatches in threshold voltage (3–5 V range) and dynamic parameters cause unequal current distribution, risking thermal runaway above 3 A per device.
What is the meaning of "100% avalanche tested" in the datasheet?
Each STW10N105K5 undergoes individual production testing for single-pulse avalanche energy at 140 mJ and repetitive avalanche current at 2 A, verifying robustness under unclamped inductive switching events - eliminating need for statistical screening or derating in mission-critical applications.
