11N90 MOSFET — Specifications & Equivalents
About the 11N90
The 11N90 is an N-channel MOSFET with a drain–source voltage (VDS) rating of 900 V, a continuous drain current (ID) of 11 A and an on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 0.91 Ω. It can dissipate up to 215 W and is rated to a junction temperature of 150 °C. It is available in TO-3P, TO-3PN, TO-220 and TO-220F1 packages, so confirm the pinout of the exact variant you order.

Typical applications
With its 900 V drain–source rating the 11N90 sits in the high-voltage (offline) class of switching MOSFETs, typically found in primary-side switching in offline SMPS (flyback, forward and quasi-resonant), active PFC boost stages, half-bridge and full-bridge inverters, induction heating and electronic ballasts and BLDC and AC motor drives. The rating leaves usable margin above the ~325 V DC bus obtained by rectifying 230 VAC mains, which is why this class dominates offline power supplies.
Gate drive and switching notes
Keep gate–source voltage within the ±30 V maximum; exceeding it punctures the gate oxide and destroys the device permanently.
Switching behaviour is characterised by a rise time of 130 ns and an output capacitance (Coss) of 215 pF, which together with the gate drive determines switching loss and the practical upper frequency limit.
Choosing a replacement for the 11N90
A drop-in substitute for the 11N90 must be the same N-channel type and offer a drain–source rating of at least 900 V, a continuous drain current rating of at least 11 A and an on-resistance no higher than 0.91 Ω if efficiency and heat matter.
Mechanically, check the replacement against the TO-3P, TO-3PN, TO-220 and TO-220F1 footprint and confirm the pin order — parts sharing a package outline do not always share a pinout.
Where the application switches inductive loads or runs near the voltage limit, keep extra headroom rather than choosing a part that only just meets the original numbers.
Frequently asked questions
What is the 11N90?
The 11N90 is an N-channel MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 900 V drain-source and 11 A continuous drain current.
What is the maximum voltage of the 11N90?
The 11N90 has a maximum drain-source voltage (Vds) of 900 V. Treat this as an absolute maximum and design with margin, especially when switching inductive loads.
How much current can the 11N90 handle?
It is rated for 11 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 215 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.
What is the on-resistance of the 11N90?
On-resistance (Rds(on)) is 0.91 Ω. Multiply by the square of your load current to estimate conduction loss.
What package does the 11N90 come in?
It is listed in TO-3P, TO-3PN, TO-220 and TO-220F1. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.
What can I use to replace the 11N90?
No verified equivalents are listed yet. Choose a part of the same polarity that meets or exceeds every rating above and shares a compatible package and pinout.
