Product details
Overview
SUP85N10-10-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 100 V drain-source voltage, 85 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 0.0105 Ω typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and features a TO-220AB package with drain-connected tab, suited for high-current DC-DC converters and motor drive half-bridges.
For engineers reviewing the SUP85N10-10-E3 datasheet, SUP85N10-10-E3 pinout, SUP85N10-10-E3 application, or SUP85N10-10-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V breakdown rating, low 10.5 mΩ on-resistance at 10 V gate drive, thermal robustness to 175 °C, and avalanche energy rating of 280 mJ - critical for inductive load switching reliability.
Technical Context
This device uses trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining rugged avalanche performance. Its SOA curve supports pulsed operation up to 240 A with proper thermal management, and the body diode exhibits 1.0–1.5 V forward voltage at 85 A with 85–140 ns reverse recovery time.
The gate threshold voltage (1–3 V) enables compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level drivers when used with appropriate gate resistance. Thermal resistance from junction-to-case is 0.6 °C/W, enabling high-power dissipation when mounted on heatsinks - essential for industrial motor control and UPS systems requiring sustained conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V - supports 48 V bus systems with 2× safety margin against transients |
| RDS(on) | 0.0105 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - delivers <1 W conduction loss at 10 A, reducing heatsink requirements |
| ID (cont) | 85 A @ TC = 25 °C - enables high-current switching in power supplies without parallel devices |
| EAS | 280 mJ - withstands repetitive inductive turn-off stress in motor drives without failure |
| TJ max | 175 °C - allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments |
| Qg | 105–160 nC - determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed trade-off |
| Ciss | 6550 pF - impacts Miller effect and requires careful gate drive design for fast transitions |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives gate drive signal; threshold 1–3 V; requires 105–160 nC total charge for full enhancement |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP85NF10 | RDS(on) = 0.012 Ω @ 10 V; Qg = 120 nC; TO-220FP package (isolated tab) | Lower thermal resistance to heatsink not required; better suited for space-constrained layouts needing insulated mounting | Select when electrical isolation between drain and heatsink is mandatory, or when lower gate charge improves efficiency at high frequency |
| IRF540NPBF | RDS(on) = 0.044 Ω @ 10 V; 33 A ID; 175 °C TJ rating retained | Lower current/voltage capability; suitable only for <100 W loads with relaxed thermal constraints | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-power designs where 85 A rating is unnecessary and board space is limited |
Compared with STP85NF10 and IRF540NPBF, the SUP85N10-10-E3 delivers superior conduction efficiency (10.5 mΩ vs. 12/44 mΩ) and higher avalanche ruggedness (280 mJ vs. 190/120 mJ), making it optimal for high-reliability 48–100 V industrial power stages where thermal headroom and fault tolerance are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SUP85N10-10-E3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The SUP85N10-10-E3 supports 60 A continuous drain current at TC = 125 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-220AB package and ensures safe operation within the 175 °C maximum junction temperature limit. Designers must verify heatsink performance to maintain TC ≤ 125 °C under full-load conditions.
Does SUP85N10-10-E3 have a built-in body diode, and what are its key characteristics?
Yes, the SUP85N10-10-E3 integrates a source-drain body diode with 85 A continuous current rating and 240 A pulsed capability. Its forward voltage is 1.0–1.5 V at 85 A, and reverse recovery time is 85–140 ns under IF = 50 A and di/dt = 100 A/μs. These parameters make it suitable for freewheeling in inductive switching applications without external diodes.
Is SUP85N10-10-E3 RoHS compliant, and what does the "E3" suffix indicate?
Yes, SUP85N10-10-E3 is RoHS compliant. The "E3" suffix denotes lead-free (Pb-free) terminations per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, using 100 % matte tin plating. It is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow and wave soldering processes, with no exemptions applied - distinct from the tin/lead-plated SUP85N10-10 variant.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SUP85N10-10-E3, and how does it affect driver selection?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SUP85N10-10-E3 is 1–3 V at ID = 250 μA. This low threshold enables use with 3.3 V microcontrollers or logic-level drivers, but full enhancement requires ≥10 V gate drive to achieve the rated 0.0105 Ω RDS(on). A gate driver capable of sourcing/sinking ≥1 A peak current is recommended to manage its 105–160 nC total gate charge efficiently.
How does the avalanche rating of SUP85N10-10-E3 compare to standard power MOSFETs, and why does it matter?
The SUP85N10-10-E3 is rated for 280 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) and 75 A avalanche current (IAS). This exceeds most general-purpose MOSFETs by 2–3× and is critical in inductive load switching (e.g., motors, solenoids) where voltage spikes exceed VDS rating. It eliminates reliance on external clamping circuits, improving system reliability and reducing BOM count.
