Product details
Overview
STW220NF75 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-247 package, rated for 75 V VDS, 120 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and typ. RDS(on) = 4.0 mΩ at VGS = 10 V. It features 100% avalanche tested ruggedness, standard threshold drive (VGS(th) = 2–4 V), and is optimized for high-current, high-speed switching in automotive 42 V battery systems and OR-ing applications.
For engineers reviewing the STW220NF75 datasheet, STW220NF75 pinout, STW220NF75 application, or STW220NF75 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low on-resistance, high pulsed current capability (IDM = 480 A), diode recovery performance (trr = 140 ns, Qrr = 770 nC), thermal resistance (Rthj-case = 0.30 °C/W), and avalanche energy rating (EAS = 2500 mJ).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's STripFET™ II process with single-feature-size strip geometry, enabling high cell density and low RDS(on). Its gate charge profile (Qg = 350 nC typ., Qgd = 135 nC) supports fast switching with controlled dv/dt (10 V/ns max) and robust unclamped inductive switching behavior.
The integrated body diode exhibits fast reverse recovery (trr = 140 ns, IRRM = 11 A) under high di/dt (100 A/µs) and elevated junction temperature (Tj = 150 °C), making it suitable for synchronous rectification and bidirectional current handling in DC-DC converters and motor control H-bridges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 75 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; supports 42 V automotive bus with >75 % margin. |
| RDS(on) | 4.0 mΩ typ. @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 60 A - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 120 A, critical for high-efficiency power stages. |
| ID cont. | 120 A @ TC = 25 °C - Package-limited current; sustained operation requires heatsinking to maintain Tj ≤ 175 °C. |
| EAS | 2500 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating confirms ruggedness against inductive turn-off transients without external snubbers. |
| trr / Qrr | 140 ns / 770 nC - Fast, low-charge body diode recovery reduces switching losses and EMI in hard-switched topologies. |
| Rthj-case | 0.30 °C/W - Low thermal resistance enables high power dissipation (500 W @ TC = 25 °C) with minimal case-to-junction temperature rise. |
| Qg | 350 nC - Total gate charge determines driver strength requirement; compatible with standard 1–2 A peak gate drivers. |
Pinout & Package
STW220NF75 is housed in a through-hole TO-247 package with three terminals: Drain (tab), Source (pin 1), and Gate (pin 2). The metal tab is electrically connected to the Drain, requiring isolation when mounted to heatsinks.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main high-side current path and heat sink interface | Electrically tied to package tab; must be insulated from chassis unless circuit topology requires common-drain configuration. |
| Source (Pin 1) | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Serves as local ground reference for gate driver; layout must minimize inductance to avoid spurious turn-on during dV/dt events. |
| Gate (Pin 2) | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring low-inductance gate loop; typical VGS(th) of 2–4 V ensures compatibility with 5 V and 12 V logic-level drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| STripFET™ II process architecture | Enables 4.0 mΩ RDS(on) in TO-247 without die size compromise, improving power density over prior-generation MOSFETs. |
| 100% Unclamped Inductive Switching (UIS) tested | Guarantees minimum 2500 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, eliminating need for design margining in inductive load circuits. |
| Fast body diode with soft recovery | trr = 140 ns and Qrr = 770 nC reduce voltage overshoot and oscillation during freewheeling, easing EMI filter design. |
| Standard gate threshold (2–4 V) | Ensures reliable turn-on with industry-standard 5 V and 12 V gate drivers without level-shifting circuitry. |
| TO-247 mechanical robustness | Supports high-current PCB mounting and direct heatsink attachment with proven thermal cycling reliability in automotive under-hood environments. |
Applications
| Automotive 42 V Power Distribution | OR-ing Diode Replacement |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXFH120N075 | RDS(on) = 5.0 mΩ (typ.), Qg = 320 nC, EAS = 1900 mJ | Lower avalanche robustness; requires tighter SOA derating in inductive switching | Preferred where gate drive current is constrained and avalanche stress is minimal. |
| IPP120N06S4-03 | VDS = 60 V, RDS(on) = 3.0 mΩ (typ.), Qg = 280 nC | Not rated for 42 V automotive systems due to lower VDS; unsuitable for load dump survival | Optimal for 24 V industrial supplies where lower RDS(on) and gate charge outweigh voltage margin needs. |
Compared with IXFH120N075 and IPP120N06S4-03, STW220NF75 uniquely balances 75 V rating, 4.0 mΩ on-resistance, and 2500 mJ avalanche capability-making it the only option qualified for demanding 42 V automotive power distribution with unclamped inductive stress.

FAQ
Is STW220NF75 suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No. STW220NF75 uses a through-hole TO-247 package with a metal tab designed for screw-mount heatsinking. It is not compatible with reflow or wave soldering processes and requires mechanical mounting with insulating hardware and thermal paste for optimal thermal transfer.
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for continuous operation?
The maximum junction temperature is 175 °C, and the storage temperature range is –55 to +175 °C. For continuous 120 A operation, the case temperature must be maintained ≤25 °C using a heatsink with thermal resistance ≤0.30 °C/W; derating applies above 25 °C at 3.33 W/°C.
Does STW220NF75 have a built-in ESD protection diode on the gate?
No. STW220NF75 does not integrate gate ESD protection. Its gate oxide is rated for ±20 V absolute maximum VGS; external gate resistors (≥10 Ω) and transient voltage suppressors are recommended in high-noise environments to prevent electrostatic damage during handling and PCB assembly.
Can STW220NF75 replace STW20NK50Z in a 500 W SMPS design?
No. STW20NK50Z is a 500 V, 20 A Zener-protected superjunction MOSFET intended for high-voltage flyback converters. STW220NF75 is a 75 V, 120 A trench MOSFET optimized for low-voltage, high-current applications-its VDS rating is insufficient for 500 V primary-side operation and lacks integrated Zener clamping.
