SIHF080N60E-GE3

SIHF080N60E-GE3 is a high‑voltage N‑channel enhancement MOSFET used as a power switch in HV power electronics. It belongs to the SIHF family and is designed for switching applications such as offline switch‑mode power supplies, PFC stages, solar/inverter bridges, and motor drives. The “080N60E” part name suggests a 600 V device with a relatively high blocking voltage and moderate on‑state resistance, suitable for medium‑to‑high current switching. The GE3 suffix denotes a specific packaging/revision variant.
Key points:
- Type: N‑channel enhancement MOSFET
- VDS: around 600 V (high‑voltage operation)
- Technology: trench MOSFET for improved switching performance
- Features: avalanche ruggedness and gate‑drive efficiency (gate charge varies by part)
- Applications: SMPS, PFC, inverters, motor controllers
How to use: drive with a suitable gate driver, provide adequate heat sinking, and operate within the device’s safe operating area (SOA) and thermal limits.
For exact electrical specs (Rds(on), Id, Qg, package details, and thermal characteristics), consult the manufacturer’s datasheet or distributor cross‑reference.

SIHF080N60E-GE3 is a 3‑pin N‑channel power MOSFET. Pins and functions:
- Pin 1: Gate — voltage input that turns the MOSFET on/off.
- Pin 2: Drain — high‑voltage output/collector; typically tied to the metal tab/heatsink.
- Pin 3: Source — low‑side return/ground reference.
Overall function: high‑voltage N‑channel enhancement MOSFET used for switching and power conversion (drain commonly connected to the tab).

Manufacturer: STMicroelectronics.
