Product details

400 V, 9 A — where this MOSFET fits the BOM

The STP11NK40Z: This part is aimed at offline switch-mode power supplies, AC-DC converters, and lighting ballasts where the 400 V blocking voltage provides adequate derating for 240 VAC rectified rails.

The 4.5 V maximum gate threshold at 100 µA drain current means a 10 V gate drive is needed to guarantee the on-resistance spec; at 5 V drive the Rds(on) will be significantly higher, so logic-level gate signals won't cut it. The SuperMESH™ technology includes avalanche energy rating, though the ledger does not specify the single-pulse or repetitive limit — treat the 110 W dissipation as the thermal ceiling for steady-state operation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Rds(on) of STP11NK40Z?

The maximum on-resistance is 550 mOhm at 4.5 A drain current with 10 V gate drive. This is the value to use for worst-case conduction loss calculations.

Can STP11NK40Z replace STP11NK40?

The STP11NK40Z is the Zener-protected variant of the STP11NK40 series, featuring enhanced avalanche ruggedness. Pin-compatibility depends on the specific package and gate-drive requirements; verify the gate threshold and Rds(on) match your application before substitution.
