IRFB3004GPBF N-Channel 40V 195A MOSFET Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IRFB3004GPBF is an N-Channel MOSFET manufactured by Infineon Technologies, part of the HEXFET® series. This device is rated for 40V drain-to-source voltage with 195A continuous drain current and 380W power dissipation at case temperature. The component features a through-hole TO-220AB package configuration suitable for high-current switching applications.

The IRFB3004GPBF carries an Obsolete product status. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production requirements. Substitute selection must maintain electrical compatibility across drain-source voltage, continuous drain current, on-resistance characteristics, and thermal performance parameters.

FET Type: N-Channel (exact match required)
Technology: MOSFET Metal Oxide (exact match required)
Package/Case: TO-220-3 (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)

Performance Compatibility Parameters:

Continuous Drain Current (Id): Equal to or greater than 195A
On-Resistance (Rds On): Equal to or less than 1.75 mOhm at rated conditions

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Preferred Primary Substitute):

IRFB3004PBF is the direct equivalent to IRFB3004GPBF. Both devices share identical electrical specifications: 40V Vdss, 195A continuous drain current, 1.75 mOhm on-resistance, and 380W power dissipation. The IRFB3004PBF carries Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, providing long-term supply availability and regulatory alignment. Packaging is TO-220-3 through-hole configuration. This part requires no design modification and provides complete functional equivalence.

Secondary Substitute (Current-Limited Applications):

IPP015N04NGXKSA1 (Infineon OptiMOS™ series) operates at 40V with 120A continuous drain current and 250W power dissipation. This device is suitable for applications where the 195A current requirement can be reduced to 120A without performance degradation. The on-resistance of 1.5 mOhm at 100A provides superior efficiency compared to the main part. Product status is Active with ROHS3 compliance. TO-220-3 through-hole package maintains mechanical compatibility.

Lower-Current Alternatives (Reduced Performance Applications):

PSMN2R2-40PS,127, PSMN4R5-40PS,127, and PSMN8R0-40PS,127 are Nexperia devices with progressively reduced current ratings (100A, 100A, and 77A respectively). These parts are suitable only for applications where continuous drain current requirements are substantially lower than 195A. All three devices maintain 40V Vdss and TO-220-3 packaging. Product status is Obsolete for all three alternatives. These substitutes are not recommended for designs requiring the full 195A current capability of the IRFB3004GPBF.

Compliance and Regulatory Considerations:

All substitute parts listed carry REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification, matching the regulatory profile of the main part. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed for IRFB3004PBF and IPP015N04NGXKSA1, supporting modern manufacturing and environmental requirements. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is 1 (Unlimited) across all parts, indicating no special moisture handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IRFB3004PBF be used as a direct replacement for IRFB3004GPBF?

A: Yes. IRFB3004PBF is a direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications (40V, 195A, 1.75 mOhm Rds On, 380W power dissipation) and TO-220-3 package. The only difference is product status: IRFB3004PBF is Active while IRFB3004GPBF is Obsolete. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between IRFB3004GPBF and IRFB3004PBF packaging?

A: Both parts use TO-220-3 through-hole package configuration. IRFB3004GPBF is supplied in bulk, while IRFB3004PBF is supplied in tube packaging. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can IPP015N04NGXKSA1 replace IRFB3004GPBF in all applications?

A: IPP015N04NGXKSA1 is suitable only for applications where continuous drain current can be reduced from 195A to 120A. The device provides superior on-resistance (1.5 mOhm at 100A) and maintains 40V Vdss rating. Power dissipation is reduced to 250W. Applications requiring the full 195A current capability must use IRFB3004PBF or equivalent.

A: PSMN2R2-40PS,127, PSMN4R5-40PS,127, and PSMN8R0-40PS,127 are included in the substitute list based on the provided input data. However, these devices are suitable only for applications with reduced current requirements (100A, 100A, and 77A respectively). They are not recommended for designs requiring 195A continuous drain current.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: IRFB3004PBF and IPP015N04NGXKSA1 are confirmed ROHS3 compliant. PSMN2R2-40PS,127, PSMN4R5-40PS,127, and PSMN8R0-40PS,127 are also ROHS3 compliant. The original IRFB3004GPBF RoHS status is not specified in the provided data.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for all substitute parts?

A: All listed parts operate across -55°C to 175°C junction temperature range, matching the IRFB3004GPBF specification.

Q: Can multiple lower-current devices be paralleled to replace IRFB3004GPBF?

A: Parallel operation of MOSFETs requires careful circuit design to ensure current sharing. This question falls outside the scope of direct substitution analysis based on provided specifications.

Q: What is the gate charge difference between IRFB3004GPBF and IPP015N04NGXKSA1?

A: IRFB3004GPBF has 240 nC gate charge at 10V, while IPP015N04NGXKSA1 has 250 nC at 10V. This minor difference (approximately 4% higher) has negligible impact on gate drive circuit design.

Q: Are there any thermal management differences between substitute parts?

A: Power dissipation ratings differ significantly: IRFB3004GPBF and IRFB3004PBF are rated 380W, IPP015N04NGXKSA1 is 250W, PSMN2R2-40PS,127 is 306W, PSMN4R5-40PS,127 is 148W, and PSMN8R0-40PS,127 is 86W. Thermal management requirements scale with power dissipation and application current levels.
