FCA47N60F MOSFET — Specifications & Equivalents

About the FCA47N60F

The FCA47N60F is an N-channel MOSFET with a drain–source voltage (V_DS) rating of 600 V, a continuous drain current (I_D) of 47 A and an on-resistance (R_DS(on)) of 0.073 Ω. It can dissipate up to 417 W and is rated to a junction temperature of 150 °C. It is supplied in the TO3PN package.

Typical applications

With its 600 V drain–source rating the FCA47N60F 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.

Choosing a replacement for the FCA47N60F

A drop-in substitute for the FCA47N60F must be the same N-channel type and offer a drain–source rating of at least 600 V, a continuous drain current rating of at least 47 A and an on-resistance no higher than 0.073 Ω if efficiency and heat matter.

Mechanically, check the replacement against the TO3PN 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 FCA47N60F?

The FCA47N60F is an N-channel MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 600 V drain-source and 47 A continuous drain current.

What is the maximum voltage of the FCA47N60F?

The FCA47N60F has a maximum drain-source voltage (Vds) of 600 V. Treat this as an absolute maximum and design with margin, especially when switching inductive loads.

How much current can the FCA47N60F handle?

It is rated for 47 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 417 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.

What is the on-resistance of the FCA47N60F?

On-resistance (Rds(on)) is 0.073 Ω. Multiply by the square of your load current to estimate conduction loss.

What package does the FCA47N60F come in?

It is listed in TO3PN. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.

What can I use to replace the FCA47N60F?

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.
