Product details
Overview
STW27NM60ND from STMicroelectronics is a 600 V, 27 A, N-channel Power MOSFET in TO-247 package, designed for high-voltage switching applications including SMPS, PFC stages, and motor drives. It features 0.15 Ω RDS(on) (max), 100% avalanche-rated ruggedness, and enhanced dv/dt immunity for reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
For engineers reviewing the STW27NM60ND datasheet, STW27NM60ND pinout, STW27NM60ND application, or STW27NM60ND equivalent, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage rating, conduction loss at 25 °C and 100 °C, gate charge (Qg = 65 nC), thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.65 °C/W), and avalanche energy capability (EAS = 490 mJ).
Technical Context
This device employs ST's proprietary MDmesh™ II superjunction technology to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining high voltage blocking capability. Its optimized gate structure reduces switching losses and improves controllability under fast-switching conditions up to 100 kHz.
The MOSFET supports hard-switched topologies with full rated current at TC ≤ 100 °C and operates with gate threshold voltage VGS(th) of 2–4 V, enabling direct drive from standard 15 V gate drivers without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 600 V - Sustains full line voltage in universal-input offline SMPS and industrial AC-DC converters. |
| ID (TC = 25 °C) | 27 A - Continuous drain current rating at case temperature 25 °C; derates to 18 A at 100 °C. |
| RDS(on) (max) | 0.15 Ω - Low conduction loss enables <1.2 W dissipation at 10 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| Qg | 65 nC - Gate charge determines driver power and switching speed; compatible with common 1-A peak gate drivers. |
| EAS | 490 mJ - Fully rated single-pulse avalanche energy ensures robustness against inductive load transients. |
| RthJC | 0.65 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance allows efficient heat transfer to heatsink in TO-247 mounting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-247 (3-pin, straight lead, isolated tab). Standard through-hole mounting with electrically isolated drain-connected tab for direct heatsink attachment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main high-side current path | Electrically isolated metal tab serves as primary drain connection and thermal interface to heatsink. |
| Gate | Control input | Low-impedance MOS gate requiring 10–15 V drive; sensitive to ESD; must be actively pulled low during off-state. |
| Source | Reference node | Return path for load current; defines ground reference for gate drive; connected to PCB source trace or Kelvin sense point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% Avalanche Tested | Guarantees single-pulse avalanche energy handling up to 490 mJ without degradation-critical for flyback and resonant converter reliability. |
| Enhanced dv/dt Immunity | Rated for 4.5 V/ns - prevents spurious turn-on in high-noise industrial motor drive and welding inverter environments. |
| Low Gate Charge | Qg = 65 nC - reduces gate driver power consumption and enables higher-frequency operation with lower switching losses. |
| Optimized Body Diode | trr = 220 ns, Qrr = 3.5 µC - minimizes reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectification and LLC resonant topologies. |
Applications
| Industrial Switch-Mode Power Supplies | Active PFC Front-Ends |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPP60R190C7 | 650 V, 0.19 Ω RDS(on), 48 nC Qg, TO-220FP package | Lower gate charge but higher RDS(on); limited to ≤15 A continuous due to smaller package thermal performance | Preferred for space-constrained designs where gate drive power is critical and current demand is ≤15 A. |
| STP24NM60N | 600 V, 0.22 Ω RDS(on), 55 nC Qg, TO-220 package | Same voltage rating but higher on-resistance and lower current rating (24 A); no avalanche rating specified | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-power (<1.5 kW) applications where avalanche robustness is not required. |
Compared with IPP60R190C7 and STP24NM60N, STW27NM60ND delivers superior thermal performance via TO-247 packaging, higher current capability, and guaranteed avalanche energy-making it the preferred choice for industrial-grade 2–3 kW power conversion where reliability under transient stress is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The STW27NM60ND has a maximum rated junction temperature of 150 °C. For continuous operation at full 27 A drain current, the case temperature must be maintained at or below 100 °C per the Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve. Derating is required above this temperature, with linear reduction to zero current at 150 °C junction.
Does this MOSFET require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No. The STW27NM60ND has a gate threshold voltage range of 2–4 V and is fully enhanced with 0 V gate-source bias. A gate drive of 0 V (or slight negative bias up to –5 V) ensures safe turn-off; however, negative bias is not required for normal operation and adds complexity without benefit in most industrial applications.
Can STW27NM60ND be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but only with careful attention to gate drive layout, current-sharing resistors, and thermal coupling. The device exhibits positive temperature coefficient for RDS(on), supporting inherent current sharing. However, mismatched gate loop inductance or thermal gradients can cause imbalance; use matched gate resistors (≤5 Ω) and symmetrical PCB routing for reliable paralleling.
Is the TO-247 package electrically isolated?
Yes-the TO-247 package used for STW27NM60ND features an electrically isolated metal tab. The drain is connected to the tab, but the tab is insulated from the mounting surface by default. When mounted to a heatsink, an insulating pad or washer must be used unless the heatsink is floating or intentionally tied to drain potential.
