Continuous Drain Current (Id) @ 25°C: 5A (Tc)
On-State Resistance (Rds On) @ specified conditions: 600mOhm @ 2.9A, 10V
Gate Threshold Voltage (Vgs(th)): 4V @ 250µA
Gate Charge (Qg): 23nC @ 10V
Maximum Gate Voltage (Vgs): ±20V
Input Capacitance (Ciss): 300pF @ 25V
Power Dissipation: 43W (Tc)
Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C (TJ)

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

Mounting Type: Through Hole

Engineering Selection Recommendations

IRFU220NPBF as Direct Substitute:

The IRFU220NPBF is electrically and mechanically identical to the IRFU220N across all specified parameters. The primary distinction lies in compliance and product lifecycle status:

RoHS Compliance: IRFU220NPBF is ROHS3 compliant, whereas IRFU220N is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or procurement policies requiring RoHS compliance, IRFU220NPBF is the appropriate selection.
Product Status: IRFU220N is classified as Obsolete; IRFU220NPBF is classified as Not For New Designs. For new design implementations, neither part is recommended for long-term production use. However, IRFU220NPBF remains available in higher inventory quantities (45,100 pcs vs. 1,400 pcs) and is suitable for legacy system support and maintenance applications.
Packaging: IRFU220NPBF is supplied in Tube packaging, whereas IRFU220N packaging is unspecified. Both use identical TO-251-3 (IPAK) component packages.
REACH Status: Both parts are REACH Unaffected.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance or higher component availability, IRFU220NPBF is the direct substitute. For legacy systems currently using IRFU220N, substitution with IRFU220NPBF introduces no electrical or mechanical incompatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IRFU220NPBF replace IRFU220N in existing designs?

A: Yes. IRFU220NPBF is electrically and mechanically identical to IRFU220N. All electrical parameters, including Vdss, Id, Rds On, gate charge, and operating temperature range, are identical. Both use the TO-251-3 (IPAK) through-hole package. Direct substitution is valid without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between IRFU220N and IRFU220NPBF?

A: The primary differences are RoHS compliance status and product lifecycle classification. IRFU220NPBF is ROHS3 compliant and classified as Not For New Designs. IRFU220N is RoHS non-compliant and Obsolete. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Why is IRFU220N marked as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. IRFU220NPBF, while classified as Not For New Designs, remains available in higher quantities and serves as the active equivalent for legacy system support.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical power dissipation (43W Tc), operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C TJ), and all electrical parameters. Thermal performance and electrical behavior are equivalent.

Q: What packaging is supplied for each part?

A: IRFU220NPBF is supplied in Tube packaging. IRFU220N packaging type is not specified in the provided data. Both components use the TO-251-3 (IPAK / TO-251AA) through-hole package format.

Q: Is IRFU220NPBF suitable for new designs?

A: IRFU220NPBF is classified as Not For New Designs. For new applications, consultation with Infineon Technologies is recommended to identify current-generation N-Channel MOSFETs with equivalent or superior specifications.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: IRFU220N has 1,400 pcs in stock. IRFU220NPBF has 45,100 pcs in stock. IRFU220NPBF offers significantly higher availability for immediate procurement.
