IRFR014TR N-Channel MOSFET Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IRFR014TR is an N-Channel MOSFET manufactured by Vishay Siliconix, rated for 60V drain-to-source voltage with 7.7A continuous drain current. The device is housed in a DPAK (TO-252-3) surface mount package and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent substitute parts with active product status are available to ensure design continuity and supply chain reliability. Substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance while offering improved availability and compliance certifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IRFR014TR is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical parameters and package compatibility. The substitute parts IRFR014TRLPBF, IRFR014TRPBF, and IRFR014TRPBF-BE3 are classified as parametric equivalents because they maintain identical specifications for:

• Drain-to-source voltage (Vdss): 60V
• Continuous drain current (Id): 7.7A at 25°C
• On-state resistance (Rds On): 200 mOhm @ 4.6A, 10V
• Gate threshold voltage (Vgs(th)): 4V @ 250µA
• Gate charge (Qg): 11 nC @ 10V
• Input capacitance (Ciss): 300 pF @ 25V
• Power dissipation: 2.5W (Ta), 25W (Tc)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 150°C
• Package: DPAK surface mount

Differences among substitutes are limited to packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), product status (Active versus Obsolete), and regulatory compliance certifications. These variations do not affect electrical interchangeability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

IRFR014TRLPBF is recommended as the primary substitute for the obsolete IRFR014TR. This part maintains complete electrical equivalence while offering Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and substantial inventory availability (18,200 units). The Tape & Reel packaging format is suitable for automated assembly processes. REACH status is listed as Vendor Undefined, which may require clarification for applications subject to REACH regulations.

IRFR014TRPBF serves as an alternative substitute with the highest inventory level (33,582 units) and Active product status. This part is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® format and carries ROHS3 compliance with REACH Affected designation. This option is appropriate for applications where REACH compliance is confirmed or not applicable.

IRFR014TRPBF-BE3 is available as a tertiary option with Active product status and REACH Affected designation. Inventory is limited (858 units). The package designation is listed as TO-252AA, which maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original DPAK footprint. This part is suitable for applications with lower volume requirements.

All three substitute parts are electrically interchangeable with the IRFR014TR and require no circuit modifications. Selection should be based on packaging format preference, compliance certification requirements, and inventory availability for the intended application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the substitute parts electrically identical to the IRFR014TR?

A: Yes. The IRFR014TRLPBF, IRFR014TRPBF, and IRFR014TRPBF-BE3 are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications including Vdss (60V), Id (7.7A), Rds On (200 mOhm), gate charge (11 nC), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and product compliance status. IRFR014TRLPBF is supplied in Tape & Reel format with ROHS3 compliance. IRFR014TRPBF is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® format with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Affected status. IRFR014TRPBF-BE3 is supplied in Tape & Reel format with REACH Affected status. All three are electrically equivalent.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in existing PCB designs without layout changes?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the same DPAK (TO-252-3) surface mount package footprint as the original IRFR014TR. PCB layout and thermal management design remain unchanged. IRFR014TRPBF-BE3 uses TO-252AA designation but maintains the same mechanical compatibility.

Q: Which substitute should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, IRFR014TRLPBF or IRFR014TRPBF are recommended due to Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. IRFR014TRLPBF is preferred if Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly. IRFR014TRPBF offers higher inventory availability if Cut Tape format is acceptable.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS and REACH compliance differences?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements. REACH Affected status indicates the part is subject to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations. Selection depends on the regulatory requirements of the end application and target market.

Q: Is the IRFR014TR still available for purchase?

A: The IRFR014TR is classified as Obsolete with 4,100 units in stock. However, the three active substitute parts are available in significantly higher quantities (858 to 33,582 units), ensuring long-term supply chain reliability.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same production batch?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable. However, for traceability and quality control purposes, it is standard practice to maintain consistent part numbers within a single production batch.
