What are the key features of STW5NB90?
- 900 V drain-source breakdown voltage with 5.6 A drain current rating supports high-voltage power conversion stages in offline and industrial power supply designs
- Avalanche energy rating of 284 mJ provides robustness against inductive load transients, protecting the MOSFET in motor drives and flyback converter applications
- Low feedback capacitance of 13 pF (Crss) and isolated TO-247 package enable fast switching transitions and safe thermal management in high-voltage circuits
What is STW5NB90 used for?
The STW5NB90 is used in offline AC-DC switched-mode power supplies, flyback converters, and active power factor correction circuits where a 900 V N-channel MOSFET with 5.6 A continuous drain current is required for reliable high-voltage switching. Its avalanche-rated construction makes it suitable for motor drive systems and induction heating equipment that generate high-voltage inductive spikes during switch-off events. The TO-247 through-hole package simplifies heatsink attachment for thermal management in high-power industrial and consumer power conversion designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the drain voltage and current ratings of the STW5NB90, and how do they define its application range?
The STW5NB90 is rated for 900 V drain-source breakdown voltage and 5.6 A maximum continuous drain current, with a maximum on-resistance of 2.5 Ω. These parameters position it for high-voltage power supplies, PFC stages, and offline converters operating from 230 V AC mains where a safety margin above 600 V is required for reliable long-term switching.
How does the STW5NB90 handle inductive flyback events in motor drive or converter designs?
The STW5NB90 is rated for an avalanche energy of 284 mJ, meaning it can absorb inductive energy spikes without failure during unclamped inductive switching events. This avalanche rating is critical in motor drives and flyback converters where leakage inductance can generate voltage spikes exceeding the 900 V rated breakdown if no external clamp is present, providing a safety margin for reliable operation.
Why is the isolated TO-247 package of the STW5NB90 preferred for heatsink mounting in high-power designs?
The TO-247 isolated package separates the drain tab electrically from the heatsink mounting surface, allowing the MOSFET to be bolted directly to a shared chassis heatsink without insulating washers in some designs, while in others the isolation simplifies compliance with safety creepage requirements in 900 V circuits. The large TO-247 body also accommodates the thermal dissipation needed when the 5.6 A rated MOSFET operates with 2.5 Ω on-resistance under continuous load.
