Product details
Overview
STW40N60M2 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 600 V, 78 mΩ typ., 34 A MDmesh™ M2 Power MOSFET in TO-247 package, designed for high-efficiency hard-switching and resonant converters. It delivers low gate charge (57 nC), optimized Coss profile (117 pF), 100% avalanche tested performance, and Zener-protected gate, enabling robust operation in industrial SMPS and PFC stages.
For engineers reviewing the STW40N60M2 datasheet, STW40N60M2 pinout, STW40N60M2 application, or STW40N60M2 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 10 V gate drive, dv/dt ruggedness (50 V/ns), unclamped inductive switching capability, and thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.50 °C/W) for high-power density designs.
Technical Context
This device uses ST's MDmesh M2 strip layout and enhanced vertical structure to simultaneously reduce conduction loss and switching energy. Its 78 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and 17 A, combined with low Crss (2.4 pF) and Coss eq. (342 pF), enables fast, low-loss turn-off in high-frequency topologies.
The MOSFET integrates a robust body diode with 34 A continuous source-drain current, 440 ns trr at TJ = 25 °C, and soft recovery characteristics-critical for reducing EMI and voltage overshoot in bridge-leg and LLC resonant applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 600 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 400 V in 3-phase rectified systems with margin for transients. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 78 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 17 A - Enables <1.3 W conduction loss at 34 A, supporting compact heatsink design. |
| Qg | 57 nC - Reduces gate drive power and allows use of lower-cost, lower-current drivers in 100–300 kHz converters. |
| EAS | 500 mJ - Supports reliable unclamped inductive switching without external snubbers in flyback or forward converters. |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns - Ensures immunity to parasitic turn-on during high-speed switching in high-noise motor drive inverters. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Allows sustained operation in enclosed industrial enclosures with ambient up to 85 °C and forced airflow. |
| RthJC | 0.50 °C/W - Delivers 250 W total power dissipation at TC = 25 °C, enabling high-power-density TO-247 mounting on copper baseplates. |
Pinout & Package
STW40N60M2 is housed in a TO-247 package with isolated tab (drain-connected). The case is electrically tied to the drain terminal, requiring insulated mounting hardware when used in high-side configurations.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Lead) | Gate (G) | Low-impedance control input; requires ≤±25 V drive; gate charge Qg = 57 nC dictates driver sizing. |
| 2 (Lead) | Source (S) | Power return path and reference for gate drive; carries full load current (34 A continuous) and diode reverse recovery charge. |
| 3 (Lead) | Drain (D) | Main high-voltage power terminal; connected to metal tab; must be isolated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground. |
| Tab | Drain (D) | Primary thermal path and high-current drain connection; requires ≥0.5 mm creepage clearance to adjacent circuitry at 600 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MDmesh™ M2 technology | Enables 78 mΩ RDS(on) at 600 V while maintaining low Coss and high dv/dt immunity-unachievable with planar or earlier trench processes. |
| Zener-protected gate | Integrated gate oxide protection clamps transient overvoltage to ±25 V, eliminating need for external gate Zener in noisy industrial environments. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Every unit validated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 500 mJ), ensuring field reliability in inductive switching failure modes. |
| Optimized Coss profile | Coss = 117 pF and Cosseq = 342 pF enable predictable zero-voltage switching (ZVS) timing in LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge converters. |
| Soft-recovery body diode | trr = 440 ns and Qrr = 8.2 µC at 25 °C minimize voltage spikes and EMI during commutation in half-bridge synchronous rectification. |
Applications
| Industrial Switch-Mode Power Supplies | Server & Telecom Rectifiers |

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 | 650 V, 99 mΩ, 34 A, CoolMOS™ C7 - higher RDS(on), lower Qg (43 nC), no integrated Zener. | Better light-load efficiency in DCM flyback; less robust under avalanche stress (EAS = 320 mJ). | Prefer for ultra-high-frequency (>500 kHz) designs where gate drive loss dominates; avoid in unclamped inductive loads. |
| IXFH40N60P | 600 V, 110 mΩ, 40 A, HiPerFET™ - higher RDS(on), higher Coss (220 pF), no avalanche rating. | Higher conduction loss but superior SOA at 10 µs pulse width; suited for linear-mode operation. | Select for analog-controlled regulators or soft-start circuits requiring wide safe operating area; not recommended for ZVS LLC. |
Compared with IPP60R099C7 and IXFH40N60P, STW40N60M2 offers the best balance of low RDS(on), high avalanche robustness, and Zener gate protection-making it optimal for industrial SMPS where reliability under fault conditions is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at case temperature of 100 °C?
The STW40N60M2 supports 22 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 1 of DS9801 Rev 5. This rating accounts for thermal derating due to junction-to-case resistance (0.50 °C/W) and ensures safe operation within the SOA boundary at elevated temperatures.

Yes, STW40N60M2 includes a monolithic body diode rated for 34 A continuous and 136 A pulsed source-drain current. Key recovery specs include trr = 440 ns and Qrr = 8.2 µC at TJ = 25 °C, with soft recovery behavior confirmed by low IRRM (37 A) and reduced voltage overshoot in inductive switching tests.
Can STW40N60M2 be used in zero-voltage switching (ZVS) topologies?
Yes-its low and well-characterized Coss (117 pF) and Coss eq. (342 pF), combined with low Qgd (25.5 nC), enable predictable ZVS turn-on in LLC resonant and phase-shifted full-bridge converters operating up to 300 kHz, as verified in ST application note AN4379.
Is the TO-247 package of STW40N60M2 lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, STW40N60M2 is manufactured in ST's ECOPACK2-compliant TO-247 package, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC requirements. Full compliance documentation-including Pb-free solderability and halogen-free status-is available in ST's ECOPACK database at www.st.com/ecopack.
