UF3710 MOSFET — Specifications & Equivalents
About the UF3710
The UF3710 is an N-channel MOSFET with a drain–source voltage (VDS) rating of 100 V, a continuous drain current (ID) of 57 A and an on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 0.023 Ω. It can dissipate up to 200 W and is rated to a junction temperature of 175 °C. It is supplied in the TO-220 package.

Typical applications
With its 100 V drain–source rating the UF3710 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.
The 57 A current rating puts it in high-current territory, where conduction loss (I² × RDS(on)) and thermal design usually matter more than switching loss. Budget for adequate copper area and a heatsink.
The low 0.023 Ω on-resistance keeps conduction loss down, which suits synchronous rectification and continuous high-current paths.
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 58 ns and an output capacitance (Coss) of 410 pF, which together with the gate drive determines switching loss and the practical upper frequency limit.
Choosing a replacement for the UF3710
A drop-in substitute for the UF3710 must be the same N-channel type and offer a drain–source rating of at least 100 V, a continuous drain current rating of at least 57 A and an on-resistance no higher than 0.023 Ω if efficiency and heat matter.
Mechanically, check the replacement against the TO-220 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 UF3710?
The UF3710 is an N-channel MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 100 V drain-source and 57 A continuous drain current.
What is the maximum voltage of the UF3710?
The UF3710 has a maximum drain-source voltage (Vds) of 100 V. Treat this as an absolute maximum and design with margin, especially when switching inductive loads.
How much current can the UF3710 handle?
It is rated for 57 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 200 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.
What is the on-resistance of the UF3710?
On-resistance (Rds(on)) is 0.023 Ω. Multiply by the square of your load current to estimate conduction loss.
What package does the UF3710 come in?
It is listed in TO-220. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.
What can I use to replace the UF3710?
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.
