Key Features
- 400V drain-source breakdown voltage with 3A continuous drain current supports medium-power off-line switching applications
- Avalanche energy rated at 130mJ with integrated built-in diode provides robust protection against inductive voltage transients
- IPAK-3 surface-mount package with drain-connected case enables efficient PCB thermal management in compact power converter designs
Applications
The STD5NK40Z-1 is suitable for switched-mode power supply auxiliary circuits, flyback converters, and low-power motor control applications operating from rectified mains voltages up to 400V. Its avalanche energy rating ensures reliability in inductive switching environments where voltage spikes from load inductance would otherwise risk device failure. The compact IPAK-3 surface-mount package with exposed drain tab enables efficient heatsinking directly through the PCB in space-constrained power electronics designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum drain-source voltage of the STD5NK40Z-1?
The STD5NK40Z-1 has a minimum drain-source breakdown voltage (VDS) of 400V, making it suitable for power supplies and converters operating from rectified single-phase mains up to approximately 230VAC. This 400V rating provides adequate margin for transient overvoltage conditions in off-line power conversion designs.
What is the drain current rating and on-resistance of the STD5NK40Z-1?
The STD5NK40Z-1 is rated for a maximum drain current (ID) of 3A with a maximum drain-source on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 1.8Ω. While the on-resistance is higher than lower-voltage MOSFETs, this is typical for 400V-class devices and results in acceptable conduction losses at the rated 3A current in auxiliary power supply applications.
Is the STD5NK40Z-1 avalanche energy rated?
Yes, the STD5NK40Z-1 is avalanche energy rated at 130mJ (Eas). Avalanche rating means the device can safely absorb energy from inductive voltage spikes that momentarily exceed the drain-source breakdown voltage, providing a critical safety margin in unclamped inductive switching (UIS) applications such as motor drives and flyback converters.
What package does the STD5NK40Z-1 use and how is the case connected?
The STD5NK40Z-1 comes in an IPAK-3 (also known as TO-251) surface-mount package with the case (metal tab) connected to the drain. This drain-connected case allows direct PCB copper area to serve as a heatsink, improving thermal performance without an external heatsink assembly in moderate-power applications.
