Product details
Overview
STW60NE10 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 100 V, 60 A power MOSFET in TO-247 package with typical RDS(on) = 0.016 Ω, 100% avalanche tested, and exceptional dv/dt capability (9 V/ns). It serves as a high-current switching device in automotive lamp drivers and DC-DC converters where ruggedness and fast turn-on are critical.
For engineers reviewing the STW60NE10 datasheet, STW60NE10 pinout, STW60NE10 application, or STW60NE10 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal resistance data (Rthj-case = 0.83 °C/W), avalanche energy rating (EAS = 500 mJ), gate charge profile (Qg = 142 nC), and real-world use context for solenoid control and motor drive designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's "Single Feature Size™" strip-based process to achieve high cell density and low on-resistance while maintaining robust unclamped inductive switching performance. Its 175 °C max junction temperature and 100% avalanche testing support operation in harsh automotive environments like ABS and airbag systems.
The device features a source-drain diode with 60 A continuous current rating, 1.5 V forward voltage at 60 A, and fast reverse recovery (trr = 170 ns, Qrr = 1.02 µC) under 100 A/µs di/dt - enabling efficient synchronous rectification and snubberless inductive load switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 100 V - supports 48 V and 24 V automotive bus systems with margin against transients |
| RDS(on) typ. | 0.016 Ω - enables ≤1.44 W conduction loss at 30 A, reducing heatsink requirements |
| ID cont. @ Tc=25°C | 60 A - rated for high-current solenoid and motor phase switching without derating |
| EAS | 500 mJ - withstands single-pulse inductive energy without failure in relay driver applications |
| dv/dt capability | 9 V/ns - suppresses false triggering during fast voltage transients in noisy engine bays |
| Qg | 142 nC - determines gate drive power requirement; compatible with standard 1–2 A peak gate drivers |
| Rthj-case | 0.83 °C/W - allows direct mounting to heatsink for >100 W continuous dissipation at ΔT = 150 °C |
Pinout & Package
TO-247 package: isolated tab (drain), three leads - pin 1 (gate), pin 2 (drain/tab), pin 3 (source). Mounting hole centered on drain tab for mechanical stability and thermal transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control input | Receives 10 V logic-level signal to fully enhance channel; threshold voltage 2–4 V ensures compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V controllers |
| Pin 2 (Drain) | Main power output / heat sink interface | Connected to high-side switching node; tab must be electrically isolated and thermally coupled to heatsink |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Power return / reference node | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; low-inductance layout required to minimize switching oscillation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees robustness against inductive kickback in relay/solenoid drivers without external clamping |
| Exceptional dv/dt immunity (9 V/ns) | Prevents spurious turn-on during high-slew-rate transients in alternator or ignition circuits |
| Low RDS(on) (0.016 Ω typ.) | Reduces conduction losses by >30% vs. comparable 100 V MOSFETs, improving efficiency in 48 V DC-DC stages |
| High ID rating (60 A @ 25°C) | Supports peak currents in automotive window lifters and seat adjusters without parallel devices |
| Fast reverse recovery (trr = 170 ns) | Minimizes switching loss and EMI in half-bridge motor control when used as synchronous rectifier |
Applications
| Automotive Lamp Driver | Solenoid Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current 100 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFP460 | RDS(on) = 0.27 Ω (higher), Qg = 140 nC, avalanche rated but not 100% tested | Lower current rating (20 A) requires paralleling for 60 A loads | Use only if legacy design compatibility outweighs efficiency loss |
| STW56NF20 | VDSS = 200 V, RDS(on) = 0.022 Ω, same TO-247 package and gate drive | Better voltage margin for 48 V systems with high transient risk; higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss | Select when system overvoltage exceeds 100 V but thermal budget permits 0.006 Ω penalty |
Compared with IRFP460 and STW56NF20, STW60NE10 offers the lowest RDS(on) at 100 V, enabling highest efficiency in space-constrained automotive modules - though its 100 V rating requires careful transient suppression in 48 V battery systems.

FAQ
Is STW60NE10 suitable for synchronous rectification?
Yes - its source-drain diode has 60 A continuous rating, 1.5 V forward voltage at 60 A, and 170 ns reverse recovery time with 1.02 µC Qrr, making it viable for low-frequency (<100 kHz) synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters where body diode conduction is unavoidable during dead-time.
What is the maximum safe gate-source voltage?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V per datasheet. Operation above ±15 V risks oxide degradation over time; recommended drive is 10 V for full enhancement with margin. Gate resistors ≥4.7 Ω are advised to damp ringing during fast switching.
Does STW60NE10 require a heatsink in 60 A continuous operation?
Yes - at 60 A and 0.016 Ω RDS(on), conduction loss is ~57.6 W. With Rthj-case = 0.83 °C/W and max Tj = 175 °C, even at 25 °C case temperature, junction rise would exceed 150 °C. A heatsink maintaining Tc ≤ 70 °C is mandatory for continuous 60 A use.
Can STW60NE10 replace STW60N10F6 in existing designs?
No - STW60N10F6 is a 100 V, 60 A SuperFET III device with lower Qg (72 nC) and improved Eoss, but STW60NE10 has higher Qg (142 nC) and different SOA. Direct replacement may cause gate drive overload or reduced switching speed; layout and driver validation are required.
