CS13N15D MOSFET — Specifications & Equivalents

About the CS13N15D

The CS13N15D is a MOSFET with a drain–source voltage (V_DS) rating of 150 V and a continuous drain current (I_D) of 14 A. It can dissipate up to 72 W and is rated to a junction temperature of 150 °C. It is supplied in the TO-252 package.

At a glance

• Type: MOSFET
• Max drain–source voltage (V_DS): 150 V
• Max continuous drain current (I_D): 14 A
• Power dissipation (P_D): 72 W
• Max junction temperature (T_J): 150 °C
• Package: TO-252

Typical applications

With its 150 V drain–source rating the CS13N15D sits in the medium-voltage class of switching MOSFETs, typically found in 48 V and 96 V distribution systems, solar and telecom power stages, DC motor drives and intermediate-bus DC-DC converters.

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.

Choosing a replacement for the CS13N15D

A drop-in substitute for the CS13N15D should match its polarity and offer a drain–source rating of at least 150 V and a continuous drain current rating of at least 14 A.

Mechanically, check the replacement against the TO-252 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 CS13N15D?

The CS13N15D is a MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 150 V drain-source and 14 A continuous drain current.

What is the maximum voltage of the CS13N15D?

The CS13N15D has a maximum drain-source voltage (Vds) of 150 V. Treat this as an absolute maximum and design with margin, especially when switching inductive loads.

How much current can the CS13N15D handle?

It is rated for 14 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 72 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.

What package does the CS13N15D come in?

It is listed in TO-252. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.

What can I use to replace the CS13N15D?

This page lists 17 candidate equivalents matched on electrical ratings and package. Any replacement should meet or exceed the original voltage, current and dissipation figures and use a compatible drive level.
