Product details
Overview
STWA20N95DK5 from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage N-channel Power MOSFET in the MDmesh DK5 series, featuring 950 V VDS, 275 mΩ typ. RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 18 A continuous drain current, and fast-recovery body diode with 150 ns trr at TJ = 25 °C. It is engineered for high-efficiency half-bridge and full-bridge resonant converters in industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the STWA20N95DK5 datasheet, STWA20N95DK5 pinout, STWA20N95DK5 application, or STWA20N95DK5 equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche ruggedness (520 mJ EAS), dv/dt immunity (50 V/ns), low Qrr (1 µC), and TO-247 long leads package suitability for high-voltage isolation and thermal management in high-density power stages.
Technical Context
This device implements ST's MDmesh DK5 silicon architecture optimized for ultra-low Qrr/trr and minimized RDS(on) × area trade-off. Its fast-recovery body diode enables ZVS operation without external SiC diodes in LLC topologies.
The MOSFET supports unclamped inductive switching up to 6 A avalanche current and maintains stable VGS(th) (3–5 V) and RDS(on) across –55 °C to 150 °C, enabling reliable operation in wide-temperature industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 950 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 760 V in hard-switched bridges with margin for transients. |
| RDS(on) max | 330 mΩ - Limits conduction loss to ≤5.4 W at 18 A, enabling compact heatsink design in 1–3 kW systems. |
| Qrr | 1 µC (TJ = 25 °C) - Reduces diode recovery loss and EMI in high-frequency bridge operation (>100 kHz). |
| EAS | 520 mJ - Supports single-pulse unclamped inductive energy handling without failure, critical for PFC and motor drive fault tolerance. |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns - Ensures noise-immune gate triggering under fast voltage transients in high-dV/dt environments like HV inverters. |
| Ciss | 1600 pF - Enables predictable gate drive sizing with standard 1–2 A peak drivers for <100 ns switching transitions. |
| TJ range | –55 to 150 °C - Validated for continuous operation in industrial ambient conditions up to 85 °C with derating. |
Pinout & Package
STWA20N95DK5 uses the TO-247 long leads package (JEDEC TO-247-3L variant with extended lead length for enhanced creepage). The package features isolated tab (Drain), center lead (Gate), and right lead (Source) - verified per Figure 21 and Table 9 of DS12132 Rev 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D (Tab) | Drain | High-voltage power terminal; electrically connected to metal tab - requires insulated mounting in PCB layouts. |
| G (Lead 1) | Gate | Control input; low Ciss and 4 Ω intrinsic RG enable fast, low-loss turn-on with minimal gate driver stress. |
| S (Lead 3) | Source | Power return path and reference for gate drive; tied to system ground or floating node in high-side configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast-recovery body diode | trr = 150 ns (25 °C), Qrr = 1 µC - eliminates need for external anti-parallel diode in synchronous rectification and bidirectional topologies. |
| Low gate charge | Qg = 50.7 nC - reduces gate drive power loss and allows use of cost-effective 1-A drivers in 100–300 kHz designs. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Single-pulse EAS = 520 mJ - guarantees robustness against inductive kickback in PFC, UPS, and motor control applications. |
| High dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns - prevents false turn-on during rapid VDS transitions in high-side switch configurations. |
Applications
| Industrial SMPS | Server & Telecom PSU |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW20N95DK5 | Identical die, TO-247 (standard lead length); RthJC = 0.5 °C/W same, but creepage distance reduced by ~5 mm. | Preferred where board space is constrained and creepage ≥8 mm not required (e.g., enclosed low-altitude industrial enclosures). | Select STW20N95DK5 when mechanical layout prioritizes compact footprint over HV isolation margin. |
| IPW95R1K2P7 | Infineon CoolMOS™ P7; 950 V, 1.2 Ω RDS(on), higher Qg (62 nC), no integrated fast diode (requires external SiC). | Suitable for lower-current (<8 A), higher-frequency (>500 kHz) applications where diode recovery is managed externally. | Choose IPW95R1K2P7 only if system-level optimization favors discrete diode control and lower conduction loss is not critical. |
Compared with STW20N95DK5, STWA20N95DK5 offers extended creepage for improved safety in open-frame HV designs; versus IPW95R1K2P7, it delivers integrated fast diode functionality and lower RDS(on), reducing component count and layout complexity in bridge-based topologies.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current (ID) for STWA20N95DK5 is 11 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 1 of DS12132 Rev 3. This reflects thermal derating due to junction-to-case resistance (0.5 °C/W) and safe operating area limits at elevated temperatures.
Does STWA20N95DK5 have an integrated body diode, and what are its key recovery parameters?
Yes, STWA20N95DK5 integrates a fast-recovery N-channel body diode. Key parameters include reverse recovery time (trr) = 150 ns at TJ = 25 °C, Qrr = 1 µC, and IRRM = 13.5 A under standard test conditions (ISD = 9 A, di/dt = 100 A/µs, VDD = 60 V).
How does the TO-247 long leads variant differ electrically from the standard TO-247 package?
Electrically, STWA20N95DK5 (TO-247 long leads) and STW20N95DK5 (standard TO-247) share identical silicon die, RDS(on), Qg, trr, and thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.5 °C/W). The long leads provide ≥10.2 mm creepage vs. ~5.5 mm, enhancing isolation in high-voltage open-frame designs - no electrical parameter change.
Is STWA20N95DK5 suitable for use in zero-voltage switching (ZVS) circuits?
Yes - its fast-recovery body diode (trr = 150 ns, Qrr = 1 µC) and low output capacitance (Coss = 76 pF) enable reliable ZVS turn-on in LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge topologies operating up to 300 kHz, as confirmed by ST's application note AN5067 on MDmesh DK5 ZVS implementation.
