Product details

The 525 V Vdss gives a healthy margin for universal-input flyback designs (up to 400 V DC bus) and 3-phase rectified rails. The 2.5 A continuous rating is a steady-state ceiling; the 11 nC typical gate charge at 10 V keeps switching losses low enough for moderate-frequency converters (50–150 kHz). The 2.6 Ω Rds(on) is specified at 10 V drive, so a 12 V or 15 V gate supply is preferred — a 5 V logic-level drive will not fully enhance the channel, and you will see significantly higher on-resistance.

That means no further production runs from the factory; the only supply channel is the independent distribution and surplus market. For new designs or long-term production, you will want to evaluate a pin-compatible replacement within the SuperMESH3™ family or a similar 525 V N-channel TO-220FP MOSFET from ST or another vendor.

Frequently asked questions

What is the replacement for STF4N52K3?

STMicroelectronics has not published an official direct replacement for the STF4N52K3. For new designs, look for a 525 V or higher-rated N-channel MOSFET in a TO-220 Full Pack package with similar Rds(on) and gate charge — for example, a later SuperMESH3™ or SuperMESH5™ device from ST. Confirm pin-compatibility and thermal performance before substituting.

What are the specifications of STF4N52K3?

Gate charge is 11 nC at 10 V, input capacitance is 334 pF at 100 V drain bias, and it is packaged in a TO-220 Full Pack (TO-220FP) through-hole package.

Is STF4N52K3 compatible with TO-220 Full Pack?

Yes, the STF4N52K3 is supplied in a TO-220 Full Pack (TO-220FP) package, which is a fully isolated through-hole package. It is footprint-compatible with standard TO-220 Full Pack layouts but is not pin-compatible with a standard TO-220 (non-isolated) — the full-pack version has a different lead form and no exposed metal tab.

Where can I buy STF4N52K3?

We source the STF4N52K3 through independent distribution channels. Submit an RFQ through this page for a current price and availability quote — we confirm both at quote time.
