IXFP36N60X3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IXFP36N60X3 is an N-Channel MOSFET manufactured by IXYS, part of the HiPerFET™ Ultra X3 series. This device is rated for 600V drain-to-source voltage with a continuous drain current of 36A at 25°C and maximum power dissipation of 446W. The component is housed in a TO-220-3 package for through-hole mounting applications. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility when the primary part number is unavailable, when alternative packaging configurations are required, or when inventory constraints necessitate component alternatives that maintain electrical and thermal performance specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IXFP36N60X3 is determined by strict equivalence of electrical performance parameters and thermal characteristics. The substitute part IXFH36N60X3 is classified as a parametric equivalent based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameter Equivalence:

• Identical drain-to-source voltage rating (600V)
• Identical continuous drain current specification (36A @ 25°C)
• Identical on-state resistance (90 mOhm @ 18A, 10V)
• Identical gate threshold voltage (5V @ 2.5mA)
• Identical gate charge (29 nC @ 10V)
• Identical input capacitance (2030 pF @ 25V)

Thermal Performance Equivalence:

• Identical maximum power dissipation (446W)
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C)

Compliance and Manufacturing Equivalence:

• Same manufacturer (IXYS)
• Same product series (HiPerFET™ Ultra X3)
• Same technology platform (N-Channel MOSFET Metal Oxide)
• Identical RoHS3 compliance status
• Identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)
• Identical REACH status (Unaffected)

Package Difference: The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is the package configuration. The IXFP36N60X3 uses TO-220-3 packaging, while the IXFH36N60X3 uses TO-247-3 packaging. Both are through-hole mount configurations with identical electrical and thermal performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the IXFP36N60X3 and IXFH36N60X3 are Active products manufactured by IXYS with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is determined by printed circuit board layout requirements and mechanical constraints.

IXFP36N60X3 (TO-220-3): Select this part number when the PCB design accommodates the TO-220 package footprint. This package provides standard through-hole mounting with three leads and is widely used in industrial and power conversion applications.

IXFH36N60X3 (TO-247-3): Select this part number when the PCB design requires the TO-247 package footprint. The TO-247 package provides improved thermal performance through enhanced lead geometry and is preferred in high-power density applications where thermal management is critical.

Both parts deliver identical electrical performance, thermal ratings, and compliance certifications. The choice between them is purely a function of PCB layout compatibility and mechanical mounting requirements. No electrical performance trade-offs exist between these alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the IXFP36N60X3 and IXFH36N60X3 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications including drain-to-source voltage (600V), continuous drain current (36A), on-state resistance (90 mOhm), gate charge (29 nC), and all other electrical parameters. The only difference is the package configuration.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The IXFP36N60X3 uses a TO-220-3 package, while the IXFH36N60X3 uses a TO-247-3 package. Both are through-hole mount configurations. The TO-247 package has a different lead geometry and footprint compared to the TO-220 package.

Q: Can I use the IXFH36N60X3 as a direct replacement for the IXFP36N60X3 on an existing PCB?

A: Direct PCB replacement is not possible without modifying the circuit board layout. The TO-220 and TO-247 packages have different pin configurations and mounting hole patterns. A new PCB design or mechanical adapter would be required to use the substitute part on an existing board designed for TO-220 mounting.

Q: Do both parts have the same thermal performance?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical maximum power dissipation ratings of 446W and identical operating temperature ranges from -55°C to 150°C. Thermal performance is equivalent between the two packages.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the IXFP36N60X3 and IXFH36N60X3 are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level and REACH unaffected status.

Q: Which part should I select for a new design?

A: Selection depends on your PCB layout requirements and thermal management strategy. If your design uses TO-220 footprints, select the IXFP36N60X3. If your design uses TO-247 footprints or requires the enhanced lead geometry of the TO-247 package, select the IXFH36N60X3. Both deliver identical electrical and thermal performance.

Q: Are both parts currently in stock?

A: Yes. The IXFP36N60X3 has 1036 pieces in stock, and the IXFH36N60X3 has 1282 pieces in stock, both as new original components in tube packaging.
