Product details
Overview
STW36NM60N from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 600 V, 29 A, 0.092 Ω RDS(on) MDmesh™ II Power MOSFET in TO-247 package, designed for high-efficiency switching converters in automotive and industrial power supplies. It features 100% avalanche testing, low gate charge (83.6 nC), and low input capacitance (2722 pF), enabling fast switching with reduced conduction and switching losses.
For engineers reviewing the STW36NM60N datasheet, STW36NM60N pinout, STW36NM60N application, or STW36NM60N equivalent, this device is selected for high-voltage DC-DC conversion, motor drive half-bridges, and SMPS primary-side switching where low RDS(on), robust avalanche capability, and thermal performance (Rthj-case = 0.6 °C/W) are critical.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's second-generation MDmesh™ vertical structure combined with strip layout to minimize on-resistance and gate charge simultaneously. Its 600 V VDSS rating and 150 °C max junction temperature support operation in high-reliability, high-temperature environments such as engine control units and on-board chargers.
The device integrates a fast, soft-recovery body diode (trr = 408 ns at Tj = 25 °C) and exhibits stable dynamic parameters across temperature-RDS(on) increases only 1.9× from 25 °C to 150 °C, while VGS(th) decreases predictably (0.7–1.0× normalized), enabling reliable gate drive design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 50 % safety margin for transient overvoltage |
| RDS(on) max | 0.105 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 14.5 A - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 14.5 A continuous current |
| Qg | 83.6 nC - determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed in hard-switched topologies |
| EAS | 345 mJ - ensures robustness against unclamped inductive switching events without external snubbers |
| Rthj-case | 0.6 °C/W - allows 210 W dissipation with ≤126 °C case-to-junction rise, supporting compact heatsink designs |
| trr | 408 ns @ Tj = 25 °C - reduces diode recovery loss and EMI in synchronous rectification and freewheeling paths |
| Ciss | 2722 pF @ VDS = 100 V - impacts gate drive loop stability and Miller effect during turn-off |
Pinout & Package
TO-247 package: three-terminal through-hole plastic package with isolated tab (drain-connected), optimized for high-power thermal and electrical performance. Mounting surface must be electrically insulated unless drain is referenced to chassis ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Source) | Source terminal | Reference node for gate drive; carries full load current and connects to low-side return path |
| 2 (Gate) | Control terminal | High-impedance input requiring <2.9 Ω gate resistance for optimal switching speed and ringing suppression |
| 3 (Drain) | Power output terminal | Connected to high-voltage rail; tab is electrically tied to drain and requires isolation when mounted to heatsink |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees single-pulse energy handling up to 345 mJ without parameter shift or failure |
| Low gate charge (83.6 nC) | Reduces gate driver power consumption and enables use of lower-cost, lower-current drivers |
| Low input capacitance (2722 pF) | Minimizes Miller-induced false turn-on risk and improves high-frequency switching efficiency |
| MDmesh™ II vertical structure | Delivers industry-leading RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit (≈9.3 Ω·nC) for 600 V class |
| Soft-recovery body diode | Reduces voltage overshoot and EMI during commutation, easing filter design in bridge configurations |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPP60R099C7 | RDS(on) = 0.099 Ω, Qg = 72 nC, TO-220FP package, no avalanche rating specified | Limited to <100 W continuous due to higher Rthj-case (1.2 °C/W); unsuitable for automotive under-hood mounting | Select only for cost-sensitive, low-power industrial SMPS where avalanche immunity is not required |
| IXFH30N60P | RDS(on) = 0.13 Ω, Qg = 110 nC, TO-247, rated for 600 V but uses older planar process | Higher conduction loss (+43 % at 14.5 A) and slower switching (tf = 120 ns vs. 67 ns) increase thermal stress in high-frequency designs | Acceptable for 20–50 kHz fixed-frequency converters where gate drive strength exceeds 2 A peak |
Compared with IPP60R099C7 and IXFH30N60P, STW36NM60N delivers superior RDS(on) × Qg trade-off, guaranteed avalanche capability, and lower thermal resistance-making it the preferred choice for automotive-grade, high-efficiency, high-reliability 600 V switching where system-level robustness and efficiency are prioritized over lowest unit cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The STW36NM60N supports 18 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 2 of the datasheet. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-247 package and ensures safe operation within the 150 °C maximum junction temperature limit under sustained load conditions.
Does STW36NM60N have a fully rated avalanche capability?
Yes-ST specifies 100 % avalanche testing per production lot. The device guarantees single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 345 mJ at Tj = 25 °C with VDD = 50 V and IAR = 10.5 A, enabling reliable operation in unclamped inductive switching scenarios without external protection.
Can STW36NM60N be used in synchronous rectification topologies?
Yes-the integrated body diode has soft recovery characteristics (trr = 408 ns, Qrr = 8 µC at 25 °C), making it suitable for synchronous rectification in LLC resonant converters and active clamp forward topologies where low reverse recovery loss is essential.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for hard-switched 100 kHz operation?
For 100 kHz hard-switched operation with minimal ringing and acceptable switching loss, a 4.7 Ω gate resistor is validated in the datasheet (Table 6 test condition). This value balances turn-on/turn-off time (td(on) = 17 ns, tf = 67 ns) and gate drive current requirements while maintaining stability across temperature.
