Typical applications
With its 150 V drain–source rating the IRF3315S 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 ±20 V maximum; exceeding it punctures the gate oxide and destroys the device permanently.
Switching behaviour is characterised by a rise time of 32 ns and an output capacitance (Coss) of 300 pF, which together with the gate drive determines switching loss and the practical upper frequency limit.
Choosing a replacement for the IRF3315S
A drop-in substitute for the IRF3315S must be the same N-channel type and offer a drain–source rating of at least 150 V, a continuous drain current rating of at least 21 A and an on-resistance no higher than 0.082 Ω if efficiency and heat matter.
Mechanically, check the replacement against the TO263 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 IRF3315S?
The IRF3315S is an N-channel MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 150 V drain-source and 21 A continuous drain current.
What is the maximum voltage of the IRF3315S?
The IRF3315S 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 IRF3315S handle?
It is rated for 21 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 94 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.
What is the on-resistance of the IRF3315S?
On-resistance (Rds(on)) is 0.082 Ω. Multiply by the square of your load current to estimate conduction loss.
What package does the IRF3315S come in?
It is listed in TO263. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.
What can I use to replace the IRF3315S?
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.
