Product details
Overview
STW26N65DM2 from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage N-channel Power MOSFET in the MDmesh DM2 series, featuring 650 V VBRDSS, 156 mΩ typ. RDS(on), 20 A continuous drain current, and fast-recovery body diode with 100 ns trr at 25 °C. It is engineered for ZVS phase-shift converters and full-bridge topologies requiring low Qrr (0.365 µC) and high dv/dt ruggedness (50 V/ns).
For engineers reviewing the STW26N65DM2 datasheet, STW26N65DM2 pinout, STW26N65DM2 application, or STW26N65DM2 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche energy rating (530 mJ), gate charge (35.5 nC), thermal resistance (0.74 °C/W), and TO-247 package compatibility with high-power heatsinking.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's MDmesh DM2 silicon process to simultaneously minimize conduction loss (RDS(on) = 156 mΩ @ 10 V) and switching loss (Qgd = 17.6 nC, Ciss = 1480 pF). Its Zener-protected gate and 100% avalanche-tested construction ensure robustness under unclamped inductive switching.
The integrated fast-recovery body diode delivers trr = 100 ns and Qrr = 0.365 µC at 25 °C - critical for reducing turn-on losses in synchronous rectification and bridge-leg commutation. Junction-to-case thermal resistance of 0.74 °C/W enables reliable operation at 170 W dissipation with proper heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBRDSS | 650 V - supports 400 V bus designs with 30 % margin against transients |
| RDS(on) max | 190 mΩ - limits conduction loss to ≤7.6 W at 20 A DC, enabling high-efficiency SMPS |
| Qg | 35.5 nC - enables fast switching with moderate gate drive strength (e.g., 1–2 A peak) |
| trr | 100 ns @ 25 °C - reduces diode reverse recovery loss in hard-switched bridges |
| EAS | 530 mJ - withstands single-pulse inductive energy without failure in unclamped tests |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns - prevents spurious turn-on during high-slew-rate voltage transitions |
| RthJC | 0.74 °C/W - allows junction temperature rise of ≤126 °C at 170 W dissipation with 25 °C case temp |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in TO-247 package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard 3-pin configuration optimized for high-current, high-voltage power stages.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; requires 10 V drive for full enhancement; Zener-protected to ±25 V |
| 2 (D, Tab) | Drain | Main high-side power terminal; electrically connected to metal tab for low-inductance heatsinking |
| 3 (S) | Source | Power return path; referenced to gate drive ground in low-side configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast-recovery body diode | trr = 100 ns and Qrr = 0.365 µC at 25 °C - cuts dead-time loss in half-bridge ZVS operation |
| Low gate charge | Qg = 35.5 nC - reduces driver power and EMI during 100+ kHz switching |
| High dv/dt immunity | 50 V/ns rated - eliminates false triggering in high-frequency LLC or phase-shifted full-bridge |
| 100% avalanche tested | EAS = 530 mJ - guarantees ruggedness in unclamped inductive load conditions |
| Zener-protected gate | VGS = ±25 V rating - prevents gate oxide damage during layout parasitic coupling or hot-plug events |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPW65R041CFD7 | RDS(on) = 41 mΩ lower (115 mΩ typ.), but Qrr = 0.62 µC - 70 % higher than STW26N65DM2 | Better conduction efficiency but higher diode recovery loss in ZVS topologies | Prefer when conduction loss dominates; avoid where trr-sensitive soft-switching is used |
| IXTH26N65X2 | Higher RDS(on) (220 mΩ max), no specified Qrr; avalanche rating not published | Limited suitability for bridge-leg commutation due to unknown diode recovery behavior | Acceptable for hard-switched PFC or non-bridged SMPS where diode recovery is uncritical |
Compared with IPW65R041CFD7 and IXTH26N65X2, STW26N65DM2 uniquely balances low RDS(on), ultra-low Qrr, and verified avalanche ruggedness - making it optimal for ZVS, phase-shift, and high-reliability industrial converters where both switching and fault robustness matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for STW26N65DM2?
The device is rated for TJ = 150 °C maximum, validated across its safe operating area (SOA) curves. Operation above this limit risks irreversible parametric drift and reduced avalanche endurance. Derating is required above Tcase = 100 °C, where ID drops to 12.6 A per datasheet Table 1.
Does STW26N65DM2 require external gate resistors for stability?
Yes - a gate resistor (typically 4.7 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate loop inductance and intrinsic Rg (4.6 Ω). This ensures clean turn-on/turn-off waveforms and avoids unintended oscillation, especially in high-dv/dt environments like full-bridge topologies.
Can STW26N65DM2 replace older STW26NM60FD in existing designs?
No - although both are TO-247 N-channel 600–650 V MOSFETs, STW26N65DM2 has significantly lower Qrr (0.365 µC vs. 1.1 µC) and faster trr (100 ns vs. 250 ns), requiring gate drive timing adjustments. Direct substitution may cause shoot-through or increased EMI without layout and firmware review.
Is the TO-247 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes - STW26N65DM2 is supplied in ECOPACK2-compliant TO-247 packaging, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC requirements. The device carries the "ECOPACK2" marking and is halogen-free per ST's environmental specifications.
