Product details
Overview
SUD15N15-95-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel enhancement-mode TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 150 V drain-source voltage, 15 A continuous drain current at 175 °C junction temperature, and 0.095 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It serves as a primary-side switching device in offline AC/DC power supplies and DC-DC converters requiring high thermal robustness.
For engineers reviewing the SUD15N15-95-BE3 datasheet, SUD15N15-95-BE3 pinout, SUD15N15-95-BE3 application, or SUD15N15-95-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175 °C rated junction temperature, TO-252 (DPAK) package with drain-connected tab for enhanced thermal transfer, and guaranteed 100 % gate resistance testing for consistent switching behavior.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Vishay's TrenchFET® process to achieve low on-resistance and optimized gate charge (Qg = 20–25 nC at VDS = 75 V), enabling efficient hard-switching operation in high-frequency flyback and forward converters. Its 150 V VDS rating supports 115/230 VAC universal input designs with sufficient margin against voltage transients.
The device features a source-drain diode with 15 A pulsed current capability and 55–85 ns reverse recovery time (trr), supporting synchronous rectification and freewheeling roles. Thermal resistance RthJC of 2.0–2.4 °C/W enables direct heatsinking via the exposed drain tab in TO-252AA packaging.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 150 V - Supports 115/230 VAC input with ≥2× safety margin against line surges in primary-side SMPS. |
| RDS(on) | 0.095 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables ≤1.4 W conduction loss at 15 A, reducing thermal load in compact power stages. |
| ID (continuous) | 15 A @ TJ = 175 °C - Rated for sustained operation under full-load conditions without derating in thermally managed layouts. |
| Qg | 20–25 nC - Low total gate charge minimizes driver power requirement and enables fast turn-on/turn-off (td(on) = 8–12 ns). |
| RthJC | 2.0–2.4 °C/W - Allows direct mounting to heatsink via drain tab, achieving >50 W power dissipation with modest thermal interface resistance. |
| VGS(th) | 2 V (min) - Ensures reliable enhancement-mode turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level gate drivers. |
| trr | 55–85 ns - Supports moderate-frequency freewheeling and reduces switching losses in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) topologies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP16NF15 | 150 V, 16 A, RDS(on) = 0.12 Ω @ 10 V; TO-220 package; no 100 % Rg test; lower thermal performance (RthJC = 3.0 °C/W). | Requires mechanical heatsink mounting; less suitable for space-constrained surface-mount designs. | Select when through-hole assembly is preferred and higher RDS(on) is acceptable for cost-sensitive applications. |
| IRF6644TRPBF | 150 V, 19 A, RDS(on) = 0.065 Ω @ 10 V; DirectFET® package; higher Qg (34 nC); 175 °C rated. | Superior conduction loss but higher gate drive demand; requires careful PCB layout for high-frequency stability. | Select when lowest possible RDS(on) is critical and board area permits larger DirectFET footprint and gate loop optimization. |
Compared with STP16NF15 and IRF6644TRPBF, the SUD15N15-95-BE3 delivers balanced performance: lower RDS(on) than STP16NF15 with superior thermal management in TO-252, and lower Qg than IRF6644TRPBF for easier gate driving-making it optimal for mid-power SMPS where layout simplicity and thermal reliability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the SUD15N15-95-BE3?
The SUD15N15-95-BE3 is rated for 15 A continuous drain current at case temperature TC = 25 °C and junction temperature TJ = 175 °C. At TC = 125 °C, the rating drops to 8.7 A due to thermal derating. This specification is validated per Vishay's Absolute Maximum Ratings table and reflects actual conduction capability under sustained thermal equilibrium conditions.
Does the SUD15N15-95-BE3 support logic-level gate drive?
The SUD15N15-95-BE3 has a gate threshold voltage VGS(th) minimum of 2 V, making it compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level gate drivers. However, full enhancement and specified RDS(on) require VGS ≥ 10 V. For optimal performance, use a dedicated gate driver capable of delivering ≥10 V with sufficient peak current to charge its 20–25 nC total gate charge rapidly.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for the SUD15N15-95-BE3?
The SUD15N15-95-BE3 has a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance of 2.0 °C/W and a maximum of 2.4 °C/W. This low value is enabled by the TO-252AA package's exposed drain tab, which provides a direct thermal path to the PCB copper pour or external heatsink-critical for maintaining TJ ≤ 175 °C in high-power-density designs.
Is the SUD15N15-95-BE3 avalanche-rated?
Yes, the SUD15N15-95-BE3 is rated for repetitive avalanche energy of 11.3 mJ (with L = 0.1 mH, duty cycle ≤ 1 %). This capability enhances system robustness in topologies without clamping circuits, such as basic flyback converters subjected to line transients or transformer leakage spikes, reducing reliance on external snubbers.
What does the "-BE3" suffix indicate in SUD15N15-95-BE3?
The "-BE3" suffix denotes Vishay's lead (Pb)-free, halogen-free, and RoHS-compliant packaging variant using matte tin plating on the leads and compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1). It is functionally and electrically identical to the base SUD15N15-95 part, with no performance or reliability trade-offs versus legacy leaded versions.
