Product details

60 V, 48 A N-channel HEXFET in D2PAK

It is packaged in a TO-263-3 (D2PAK) surface-mount package with the tab as the drain connection.

The 60 nC total gate charge at 10 V is moderate; a standard gate driver with 1 A to 2 A peak current can switch it in the 50–100 ns range, but the 1360 pF input capacitance at 25 V drain-source means the driver must supply enough peak current to charge and discharge the gate quickly at high frequency.

175°C junction — military-temperature-range capability

The 110 W power dissipation at case temperature is a package-limited figure; in practice, the D2PAK's thermal resistance to the PCB (junction-to-ambient) is around 40–60°C/W without a heatsink, so sustained high-current operation demands a well-designed copper footprint and possibly forced airflow. The 175°C Tj max gives headroom for transient overloads in harsh environments like engine bay electronics or downhole tools.

For new designs, a pin-compatible replacement should be selected from the same HEXFET family — the IRFZ44N (TO-220) or IRFZ44NS (D2PAK) are common drop-in alternatives with similar Rds(on) and current ratings, though the exact parametric match should be verified against your operating point.

Frequently asked questions

Is the IRFZ44ES obsolete?

Yes, the IRFZ44ES is listed as obsolete. It is no longer manufactured by Infineon. For new designs, consider the IRFZ44N or IRFZ44NS as pin-compatible alternatives with similar 60 V / 48 A ratings.

What is the Rds(on) of the IRFZ44ES?

The maximum Rds(on) is 23 mΩ at 10 V gate drive with 29 A drain current. This is the on-resistance at the recommended drive voltage; operation at lower gate voltages will increase resistance significantly.
