Product details
Overview
SUP40010EL-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel 40 V TrenchFET® power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, rated for 120 A continuous drain current at TJ = 150 °C, with RDS(on) of 1.47 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and 1.72 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, designed for high-efficiency secondary-side synchronous rectification in DC/DC converters and motor drive switches.
For engineers reviewing the SUP40010EL-GE3 datasheet, SUP40010EL-GE3 pinout, SUP40010EL-GE3 application, or SUP40010EL-GE3 equivalent, key selection factors include its logic-level gate drive capability (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.5 V), low Qgd/Qgs ratio (< 0.5), 175 °C max junction temperature, and 100 % UIS-tested ruggedness for demanding industrial power switching.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology to achieve ultra-low on-resistance and fast switching with controlled gate charge distribution-Qg = 150 nC (typ.), Qgd = 11 nC (typ.), and Qgs = 32 nC (typ.) at VDS = 20 V. Its dynamic performance supports high-frequency operation in hard-switched topologies up to several hundred kHz.
The device features integrated body diode with trr = 135 ns (typ.) and Qrr = 0.34 μC (typ.) at IF = 41 A, di/dt = 100 A/μs, enabling efficient freewheeling in bridge configurations. Thermal design is supported by RthJC = 0.4 °C/W and SOA-rated pulsed current up to 300 A (100 μs).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 36 V nominal bus systems and 48 V industrial power rails. |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 1.47 mΩ (typ.) - Enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 120 A, critical for high-current synchronous rectifiers. |
| ID (cont.) | 120 A @ TC = 25 °C - Supports high-power density designs without forced air cooling when mounted on heatsink. |
| Qgd/Qgs | < 0.5 - Reduces Miller-induced turn-off delay and improves EMI behavior in high-dV/dt switching environments. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments without derating. |
| VGS(th) | 1.2–2.5 V - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level drivers, eliminating need for gate boosters. |
| UIS Tested | 100 % production tested - Guarantees robustness against inductive switching transients in motor and solenoid drives. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), 3-pin through-hole mounting, 13.35–14.02 mm length, 10.04–10.51 mm width, and 4.25–4.65 mm height. Tab is electrically connected to drain for direct heatsink coupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output / heatsink interface | Electrically tied to metal tab; requires insulating washer if heatsink is grounded; enables low-inductance thermal path. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFB4115PBF | RDS(on) = 3.2 mΩ @ 10 V; TO-220AB; VDS = 150 V; Qg = 120 nC | Higher voltage rating suits 100–120 V bus systems but higher on-resistance increases conduction loss at 40 V. | Choose IRFB4115PBF only if system requires >40 V blocking; otherwise SUP40010EL-GE3 delivers superior efficiency at 40 V. |
| STP120N4F6 | RDS(on) = 2.4 mΩ @ 10 V; TO-220FP; VDS = 40 V; Qg = 115 nC; no UIS test specified | Smaller TO-220FP package limits thermal dissipation; lacks 100 % UIS screening for inductive loads. | Select STP120N4F6 only for space-constrained, lower-duty-cycle applications where ruggedness is secondary to footprint. |
Compared with IRFB4115PBF and STP120N4F6, the SUP40010EL-GE3 offers the lowest RDS(on) at 40 V, full UIS qualification, and TO-220AB's superior thermal performance-making it optimal for high-current, high-reliability 40 V power switching where efficiency and transient robustness are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SUP40010EL-GE3?
The SUP40010EL-GE3 is rated for 120 A continuous drain current at case temperature TC = 25 °C and junction temperature TJ = 150 °C. Derating applies above TC = 25 °C per the datasheet's thermal curves, with 125 W max power dissipation at TC = 125 °C. This rating assumes proper heatsinking per TO-220AB mounting guidelines.
Does SUP40010EL-GE3 support logic-level gate drive?
Yes, the SUP40010EL-GE3 supports logic-level gate drive with a gate threshold voltage VGS(th) range of 1.2–2.5 V and guaranteed RDS(on) of 2.1 mΩ max at VGS = 4.5 V. It fully enhances with standard 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs, eliminating need for gate voltage boosting in most low-voltage power stages.
Is SUP40010EL-GE3 qualified for automotive applications?
The SUP40010EL-GE3 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It is designed for industrial, computing, and consumer power applications. For automotive use, Vishay offers AEC-Q101-qualified variants in the same TrenchFET® family-but SUP40010EL-GE3 itself carries no automotive qualification documentation or stress-test reporting.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for SUP40010EL-GE3?
The SUP40010EL-GE3 has a junction-to-case thermal resistance RthJC of 0.4 °C/W, measured from die junction to the drain-connected metal tab. This value enables precise thermal modeling when the tab is mounted to a heatsink with known interface resistance, supporting accurate TJ estimation under load.
How is avalanche ruggedness verified for SUP40010EL-GE3?
The SUP40010EL-GE3 undergoes 100 % production unclamped inductive switching (UIS) testing per JEDEC JESD22-A110. Each unit is validated to withstand 320 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) with IAS = 80 A, ensuring reliable operation during inductive turn-off transients in motor and transformer-driven circuits.
