Product details

High-voltage N-channel MOSFET in TO-220

The STMicroelectronics STP3NK100Z is a 1000 V N-channel MOSFET from the SuperMESH™ series, built with metal-oxide technology and housed in a TO-220-3 through-hole package. The 18 nC typical gate charge keeps switching losses manageable in hard-switched topologies like flyback converters and auxiliary power supplies.

1000 V blocking voltage and conduction loss budget

The 1000 V drain-source rating gives this part headroom for universal-input off-line converters where the reflected voltage plus leakage spike can exceed 800 V. The 6 Ohm on-resistance at 10 V drive means conduction loss at 1.25 A is about 9.4 W — factor that into the heatsink selection against the 90 W package limit. Gate threshold is specified at 4.5 V maximum with 50 µA drain current, so a 10 V gate drive is needed to achieve the rated Rds(on); logic-level drive at 5 V will leave significant margin on the table.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Rds(on) of STP3NK100Z?

Maximum Rds(on) is 6 Ohm at 1.25 A drain current with 10 V gate drive. At lower gate voltages the on-resistance increases significantly — a 10 V drive rail is recommended to achieve the rated value.
