IXFN230N10 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IXFN230N10 is an N-Channel MOSFET rated for 100V drain-to-source voltage with 230A continuous drain current at 25°C. This device is packaged in SOT-227B (miniBLOC) chassis mount configuration and is designed for high-current switching applications requiring 700W maximum power dissipation. The IXFN230N10 carries a "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating that IXYS has transitioned this part to end-of-life. Identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary for design continuity, inventory management, and long-term supply chain planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IXFN230N10 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Criteria:

• Drain-to-Source Voltage (Vdss): 100V
• Package Type: SOT-227B (miniBLOC) chassis mount
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Gate Voltage Rating (Vgs): ±20V
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Continuous Drain Current (Id): Equal or greater than 230A
• Rds On (Max): Equal or lower (improved performance)
• Gate Charge (Qg): Equal or lower (reduced switching losses)
• Power Dissipation (Max): Equal or greater
• Operating Temperature Range: Equal or extended upper limit
• Product Status: Active preferred for new inventory availability

The IXFN360N10T meets all mandatory equivalence criteria and provides enhanced electrical performance through higher current rating, lower on-resistance, and increased power dissipation capability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

IXFN360N10T as Primary Substitute:

The IXFN360N10T is the direct equivalent substitute for the IXFN230N10. Both devices share identical voltage ratings (100V Vdss), identical package configuration (SOT-227B miniBLOC chassis mount), and identical gate voltage specifications (±20V). Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

The IXFN360N10T carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. This contrasts with the IXFN230N10's "Not For New Designs" designation, making the IXFN360N10T the appropriate choice for new designs and long-term production requirements.

The IXFN360N10T provides enhanced electrical performance: 360A continuous drain current (versus 230A), lower on-resistance of 2.6mOhm (versus 6mOhm), reduced gate charge of 505nC (versus 570nC), and higher power dissipation capability of 830W (versus 700W). The extended operating temperature range to 175°C (versus 150°C) provides additional thermal margin.

Compliance and Certification:

Both parts maintain identical regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and EAR99 ECCN classification. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IXFN360N10T directly replace the IXFN230N10 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both devices share identical voltage ratings (100V Vdss), identical package type (SOT-227B miniBLOC), identical gate voltage specifications (±20V), and identical mounting configuration (chassis mount). The IXFN360N10T provides equal or superior electrical performance across all parameters. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the IXFN230N10's "Not For New Designs" status?

A: This designation indicates that IXYS has concluded the active production phase for this part number. While existing inventory may remain available, the manufacturer does not recommend this part for new design implementations. The IXFN360N10T, with Active product status, is the appropriate selection for new applications.

Q: Are there package compatibility concerns between these two parts?

A: No. Both the IXFN230N10 and IXFN360N10T use the SOT-227B (miniBLOC) package with identical chassis mount configuration. PCB footprints, thermal interface requirements, and mechanical mounting are identical.

Q: How do the on-resistance specifications compare?

A: The IXFN360N10T specifies 2.6mOhm maximum on-resistance at 180A and 10V gate drive, compared to 6mOhm for the IXFN230N10 at 500mA and 10V gate drive. The IXFN360N10T exhibits lower on-resistance, resulting in reduced conduction losses and improved thermal performance.

Q: What is the impact of the higher input capacitance in the IXFN360N10T?

A: The IXFN360N10T specifies 36000pF input capacitance (Ciss) at 25V, compared to 19000pF for the IXFN230N10. Higher input capacitance requires increased gate charge for switching transitions. However, the IXFN360N10T compensates with lower gate charge specification (505nC versus 570nC), resulting in comparable switching performance.

Q: Are regulatory and compliance certifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity, and EAR99 ECCN classification. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference?

A: The IXFN360N10T extends the maximum junction temperature to 175°C, compared to 150°C for the IXFN230N10. This provides an additional 25°C thermal margin in high-temperature applications. Both maintain identical minimum operating temperature of -55°C.
