Product details
Overview
STW25NM60N from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 600 V, 21 A MDmesh™ II Power MOSFET in TO-247 package, featuring 0.130 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 84 nC total gate charge, and 100% avalanche tested ruggedness. It serves as a high-voltage switching element in offline SMPS, PFC stages, and industrial motor drives requiring high efficiency and thermal robustness.
For engineers reviewing the STW25NM60N datasheet, STW25NM60N pinout, STW25NM60N application, or STW25NM60N equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V VDSS, low 0.130 Ω on-resistance, 84 nC Qg, 150 °C Tj(max), and TO-247 thermal performance (Rthj-case = 0.78 °C/W).
Technical Context
This device implements ST's second-generation MDmesh™ vertical superjunction architecture with strip layout, delivering ultra-low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit for hard-switched converters. Its 15 V gate threshold (VGS(th) = 2–4 V) enables reliable turn-on with standard 10–15 V gate drivers.
The integrated body diode exhibits 427 ns reverse recovery time (Tj = 25 °C) and 7.2 µC Qrr, supporting ZVS-capable topologies. Safe operating area (SOA) is validated up to 84 A pulsed drain current with 150 °C junction limit and 2500 V RMS insulation rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 600 V - Withstands full mains rectified voltage in 400 V AC input systems without derating. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.160 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 10.5 A DC, critical for high-efficiency PFC. |
| ID (cont) | 21 A @ TC = 25 °C - Supports continuous output power >500 W in forced-air-cooled industrial supplies. |
| Qg | 84 nC - Lowers gate drive power requirement and enables use of cost-effective 1-A peak gate drivers. |
| Rthj-case | 0.78 °C/W - Allows 160 W dissipation at ΔT = 125 °C, enabling compact heatsink design in TO-247 form factor. |
| EAS | 850 mJ - Guarantees unclamped inductive switching survival in flyback or LLC resonant converters. |
Pinout & Package
STW25NM60N uses the industry-standard TO-247 package with isolated mounting flange and 3-pin configuration optimized for high-power thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control input | Accepts 10–15 V logic-level gate drive; 1.6 Ω gate input resistance simplifies RC snubber design. |
| 2 (Drain) | High-side power switch node | Connected to primary HV rail; electrically isolated from case per 2500 V RMS insulation rating. |
| 3 (Source) | Power return / reference node | Serves as local ground reference for gate driver; ties to PCB source plane with low-inductance layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MDmesh™ II superjunction structure | Reduces RDS(on) × Qg by 35% vs. first-gen devices, enabling higher-frequency operation without efficiency penalty. |
| 100% UIS avalanche rated | Guarantees single-pulse energy handling up to 850 mJ, eliminating need for external clamping in inductive switching. |
| Low Ciss/Coss ratio | 2400 pF/200 pF enables stable high-speed switching with minimal Miller-induced shoot-through risk. |
| ECOPACK® lead-free construction | Complies with RoHS and JEDEC JESD97; solderable at 300 °C peak temperature without degradation. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPP60R099C6 | 650 V, 0.099 Ω RDS(on), 71 nC Qg, TO-220FP package, lower Rthj-case (3.1 °C/W) | Higher conduction efficiency but limited to 40 W continuous dissipation; unsuitable for >1 kW designs without parallel devices. | Select when board space is constrained and thermal management uses PCB copper rather than heatsinks. |
| IXFH32N60P | 600 V, 0.145 Ω RDS(on), 105 nC Qg, TO-247 package, 125 °C Tj(max) | Higher gate charge increases driver loss; lower junction temperature rating reduces SOA margin at elevated ambient. | Prefer only if legacy design uses identical footprint and existing gate driver supports >1 A peak current. |
Compared with IPP60R099C6 and IXFH32N60P, STW25NM60N delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and superior thermal capability in TO-247-making it ideal for thermally demanding, medium-to-high power industrial converters where reliability trumps marginal conduction gain.

FAQ
Is STW25NM60N pin-compatible with other TO-247 N-channel MOSFETs?
Yes-STW25NM60N follows standard TO-247 mechanical dimensions and 3-pin terminal assignment (G-D-S), ensuring direct physical replacement for any TO-247 N-channel MOSFET with matching voltage/current ratings. However, gate charge and RDS(on) differ, so driver sizing and thermal design must be revalidated.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for hard-switched operation?
For 100 kHz hard-switched operation with 1 A peak gate driver, a 4.7 Ω series gate resistor is specified in the datasheet to achieve tr = 18 ns and tf = 24 ns. Increasing beyond 10 Ω risks excessive switching loss; values below 2.2 Ω require careful layout to avoid ringing due to 84 nC Qg.
Does STW25NM60N support avalanche operation in repetitive mode?
No-the datasheet specifies EAS = 850 mJ as a single-pulse rating only. Repetitive avalanche is not characterized or guaranteed. System design must ensure all inductive energy is clamped or absorbed externally during every switching cycle to prevent cumulative junction damage.
Can STW25NM60N be used in synchronous rectification applications?
Yes-its low 0.130 Ω RDS(on) and fast 427 ns body diode recovery make it suitable for secondary-side synchronous rectification in LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge topologies. Gate drive must be precisely timed to avoid cross-conduction, and layout must minimize source inductance to preserve diode softness.
