Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FCD7N60TM is determined by strict alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters establish the substitution criteria:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Drain to Source Voltage (Vdss): Must equal or exceed 600V
• Continuous Drain Current (Id): Must equal or exceed 7A at 25°C
• On-State Resistance (Rds On): Must not exceed 600mOhm at the specified gate voltage and current conditions
• Gate Threshold Voltage (Vgs(th)): Must fall within acceptable operating range (typically 3.7V to 5V)
• Package Type: Must be TO-252-3 (DPAK) surface mount configuration
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 150°C minimum
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance status

Secondary Considerations:

• Gate Charge (Qg) and Input Capacitance (Ciss) affect switching performance but do not prevent substitution
• Power Dissipation rating should meet or exceed application requirements
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 is preferred for unlimited shelf life compatibility

Parts meeting these criteria are classified as direct parametric equivalents or similar manufacturers' alternatives suitable for drop-in replacement or circuit redesign applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Parametric Equivalent:

FCD7N60TM-WS is the direct parametric equivalent to FCD7N60TM. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (600V, 7A, 600mOhm Rds On, 30nC gate charge) and thermal ratings (83W power dissipation). The only difference is packaging format: FCD7N60TM-WS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration versus Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® for the main part. Both maintain "Not For New Designs" status and ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 (Unlimited). This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring identical electrical performance and thermal characteristics.

Active Product Alternatives:

For applications where active product status is required, the following parts provide suitable substitution based on maintained or enhanced electrical parameters:

STD10N60M2 (STMicroelectronics, MDmesh™ II Plus series) meets all primary substitution criteria with 7.5A continuous drain current, 600mOhm Rds On, and 85W power dissipation. Operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C) and DPAK package are identical. This part exceeds the 7A requirement and provides enhanced thermal performance (85W vs. 83W).

STD10NM60ND (STMicroelectronics, FDmesh™ II series) provides 8A continuous drain current with 600mOhm Rds On and 70W power dissipation. DPAK package and operating temperature range are compatible. This part exceeds current requirements and maintains full electrical compatibility.

TK8P60W,RVQ (Toshiba, DTMOSIV series) delivers 8A continuous drain current with 500mOhm Rds On (superior to 600mOhm specification) and 80W power dissipation. DPAK package is compatible. Gate threshold voltage is lower (3.7V vs. 5V), which may require circuit evaluation in gate drive applications.

CDM7-600LR TR13 PBFREE (Central Semiconductor) maintains 7A continuous drain current with 580mOhm Rds On and DPAK package compatibility. Power dissipation is reduced to 60W, which may limit thermal headroom in high-power applications. This part is suitable for applications with lower thermal demands.

IPD60R600P7SAUMA1 (Infineon, CoolMOS™ P7 series) provides 6A continuous drain current, which falls below the 7A requirement. While electrical parameters are compatible (600V, 600mOhm Rds On), the reduced current rating limits substitution to applications with lower current demands. Moisture Sensitivity Level is MSL 3 (168 Hours), requiring controlled storage conditions.

Compliance and Regulatory Status:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. All parts are classified under HTSUS code 8541.29.0095. Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) is preferred for supply chain flexibility; IPD60R600P7SAUMA1 with MSL 3 requires controlled storage and handling protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCD7N60TM-WS be used as a direct replacement for FCD7N60TM?

A: Yes. FCD7N60TM-WS is a direct parametric equivalent with identical electrical and thermal specifications. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®). Both parts are suitable for drop-in replacement in existing designs.

Q: Why are there multiple substitute parts with different current ratings (6A, 7A, 7.5A, 8A)?

A: Substitution is determined by whether a part meets or exceeds the minimum required specifications. The FCD7N60TM requires 7A minimum continuous drain current. Parts rated at 7.5A or 8A exceed this requirement and are suitable substitutes. Parts rated below 7A (such as IPD60R600P7SAUMA1 at 6A) are limited to applications with lower current demands and are not recommended as general replacements.

Q: What is the significance of Rds On (On-State Resistance) in substitution?

A: Rds On directly affects power dissipation and heat generation. The FCD7N60TM specifies 600mOhm maximum Rds On. Substitute parts with equal or lower Rds On values (such as TK8P60W,RVQ at 500mOhm) provide equal or improved performance. Parts with higher Rds On values generate more heat and are not suitable substitutes.

Q: Does gate charge (Qg) affect whether a part can be substituted?

A: Gate charge affects switching speed and gate drive circuit design but does not prevent substitution. The FCD7N60TM has 30nC gate charge. Substitute parts with lower gate charge (such as IPD60R600P7SAUMA1 at 9nC) switch faster and may reduce switching losses. Higher gate charge values require evaluation of gate drive capability but do not preclude substitution if the drive circuit is adequate.

Q: Why is the operating temperature range important for substitution?

A: The FCD7N60TM operates from -55°C to 150°C. Substitute parts must support this full range for applications exposed to extreme temperatures. IPD60R600P7SAUMA1 operates only to -40°C minimum, which is unsuitable for applications requiring -55°C operation.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" status mean for the main part?

A: This status indicates that onsemi has discontinued active development and support for the FCD7N60TM. The part remains available in inventory but will not receive design improvements or extended availability guarantees. For new designs, active product alternatives (STD10N60M2, STD10NM60ND, TK8P60W,RVQ) are recommended.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with higher power dissipation rating?

A: Yes. A substitute part with higher power dissipation rating (such as STD10N60M2 at 85W versus FCD7N60TM at 83W) provides equal or improved thermal performance. The higher rating indicates greater thermal capacity and is suitable for direct substitution.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) and why does it matter?

A: MSL indicates how long a component can be stored in ambient conditions before requiring baking to remove absorbed moisture. MSL 1 (Unlimited) allows indefinite storage without special handling. MSL 3 (168 Hours) requires controlled storage and baking before reflow soldering. For supply chain flexibility, MSL 1 parts are preferred.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same DPAK package?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are housed in TO-252-3 (DPAK) surface mount packages with identical pin configurations and PCB footprints. This ensures mechanical compatibility and eliminates the need for PCB redesign.

Q: Can I substitute based on gate threshold voltage (Vgs(th)) alone?

A: No. Gate threshold voltage is one of many parameters that must be evaluated together. While Vgs(th) affects gate drive circuit design, substitution requires that all primary parameters (Vdss, Id, Rds On, package, temperature range) are met or exceeded. Gate threshold voltage differences may require gate drive circuit adjustment but do not prevent substitution if other parameters are compatible.

Q: What should I verify before implementing a substitute part in production?

A: Verify that the substitute part meets all primary substitution criteria: Vdss ≥ 600V, Id ≥ 7A, Rds On ≤ 600mOhm, operating temperature range includes -55°C to 150°C, and package is TO-252-3 DPAK. Confirm that gate drive voltage and circuit topology are compatible with the substitute part's gate threshold voltage and gate charge specifications. Validate thermal design to ensure the substitute part's power dissipation rating is adequate for the application.
