Product details
Overview
STW30N80K5 from STMicroelectronics is an 800 V, 24 A N-channel Power MOSFET in TO-247 package, fabricated with MDmesh K5 vertical structure technology. It delivers 150 mΩ typ. RDS(on), 43 nC total gate charge, and 100% avalanche-tested ruggedness for high-voltage switching in industrial SMPS, PFC stages, and HV DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the STW30N80K5 datasheet, STW30N80K5 pinout, STW30N80K5 application, or STW30N80K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low FoM (RDS(on) × Qg = 6.45 Ω·nC), Zener-protected gate, 50 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness, and 440 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy at TJ = 25 °C.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's MDmesh K5 proprietary vertical superjunction architecture to minimize conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its low Ciss (1530 pF) and ultra-low Qgd/Qgs ratio (24.2/12.8 nC) enable fast, controllable hard-switching up to 400 V bus voltages.
The integrated body diode features 555 ns typical reverse recovery time (TJ = 25 °C) and 9.95 µC Qrr, with robust 36 A peak IRRM; its 1.5 V forward voltage at 24 A supports efficient synchronous rectification in resonant topologies.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXTH30N80L | RDS(on) = 220 mΩ, Qg = 52 nC, no Zener gate protection | Lower switching speed; requires external gate protection circuitry | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs gate robustness and FoM requirements |
| IPP60R190C7 | 650 V rating, RDS(on) = 190 mΩ, Qg = 35 nC, CoolMOS C7 process | Not suitable for 800 V bus designs; limited to 400 V AC-input systems | Select only when system DC bus is capped at ≤ 600 V and lower gate charge is prioritized over voltage rating |
Compared with IXTH30N80L and IPP60R190C7, STW30N80K5 uniquely combines 800 V rating, Zener gate protection, and industry-leading FoM-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability 3–5 kW industrial power supplies where voltage margin and ruggedness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The STW30N80K5 supports 15 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 1 of DS11383 Rev 3. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-247 package and ensures safe operation within the SOA boundary at elevated ambient temperatures without forced cooling.
Does this MOSFET include integrated gate protection?
Yes-STW30N80K5 integrates a Zener diode between gate and source, clamping transient gate voltage to ±30 V. This protection is confirmed in the "Features" section and eliminates the need for external gate Zener components in most industrial layouts, reducing BOM count and PCB area.
Can STW30N80K5 replace older MDmesh K3 devices in existing designs?
Yes-STW30N80K5 is a direct drop-in replacement for STW30N80K3 in TO-247 footprint, offering identical pinout, improved RDS(on) (180 → 150 mΩ typ.), lower Qg (48 → 43 nC), and enhanced avalanche ruggedness (EAS increased from 360 to 440 mJ), enabling immediate efficiency gains without layout changes.
What is the typical reverse recovery charge of the body diode at 150 °C junction temperature?
At TJ = 150 °C, the body diode exhibits Qrr = 13.2 µC under standard test conditions (ISD = 24 A, di/dt = 100 A/µs, VDD = 60 V), as documented in Table 7 of DS11383 Rev 3. This value is critical for calculating commutation losses in bridge configurations and selecting snubber components.
