In applications demanding high current handling and low conduction loss, such as DC-DC converters, motor drives, power tools, and server power supplies, Infineon's IRF1010ESTRLPBF, with its advanced HEXFET technology and renowned low on-resistance, has been a preferred choice for power design engineers. However, navigating the complexities of global procurement—extended lead times, cost volatility, and logistical uncertainties—has become increasingly challenging. This underscores the critical need for a reliable, locally-sourced alternative that guarantees both performance and supply chain stability.
Addressing this market imperative, VBsemi introduces the VBL1615 N-channel power MOSFET. Developed through independent R&D, this component serves as a precise domestic counterpart to the IRF1010ESTRLPBF. It delivers competitive performance, full package compatibility, and the distinct advantages of localized supply and support, offering a seamless and superior replacement for high-current circuit designs.
Precision Parameter Matching with Enhanced Robustness for Demanding Circuits.
Designed as a direct alternative, the VBL1615 offers key electrical specifications that meet or exceed the requirements for replacing the IRF1010ESTRLPBF, ensuring reliable operation in high-current paths.
With a drain-source voltage (VDS) of 60V, it matches the voltage rating of the original part, providing solid compatibility for standard 48V and lower bus systems. The continuous drain current (ID) is rated at 75A, offering substantial current-carrying capacity for demanding loads.
A standout feature is its exceptionally low on-state resistance, rated at just 11mΩ (typical @ VGS=10V). This performance is on par with the low RDS(on) advantage of the HEXFET technology, ensuring minimal conduction losses. The result is higher system efficiency, reduced thermal stress, and the potential for more compact thermal management designs.
Furthermore, the VBL1615 supports a gate-source voltage (VGS) of ±20V, enhancing robustness against voltage spikes and noise in the gate drive circuit. The 1.7V gate threshold voltage ensures easy drive compatibility with common PWM controllers and driver ICs, facilitating a straightforward design-in process.
Advanced Trench Technology for Reliable Power Switching Performance.
The IRF1010ESTRLPBF leverages advanced HEXFET processing for low RDS(on) and fast switching. The VBL1615 utilizes VBsemi's mature and optimized Trench technology to achieve similar core benefits. This process is engineered to deliver low charge and excellent switching characteristics, which are crucial for high-frequency switching applications to minimize switching losses.
The device is built with a ruggedized design to withstand harsh operating conditions, including high dv/dt events. Comprehensive quality control and reliability testing, including 100% avalanche energy testing, ensure long-term operational stability and a low failure rate, making it suitable for industrial-grade applications requiring continuous and dependable performance.
Full Package Compatibility for Immediate, Risk-Free Replacement.
A primary concern in component substitution is the engineering effort required for redesign. The VBL1615 eliminates this hurdle through its package design. It is offered in the industry-standard TO-263 (D2PAK) package, which is fully footprint-compatible with the IRF1010ESTRLPBF.
This pin-to-pin and footprint compatibility allows for a true "drop-in" replacement. Engineers can substitute the component on existing PCB layouts without any modifications to the board or the thermal design. This dramatically reduces validation time and cost, accelerates time-to-market for product updates, and avoids the expenses associated with PCB re-spins and re-certification.
Local Supply Chain Assurance and Proactive Technical Support.
Beyond component specifications, secure and predictable supply is paramount. VBsemi's domestic manufacturing infrastructure ensures stable production and shorter, more controllable lead times for the VBL1615, mitigating the risks associated with international logistics and trade policies.
Complementing this supply chain advantage is dedicated local technical support. VBsemi provides comprehensive documentation, including detailed datasheets, application notes, and substitution guidelines. Our engineering team offers responsive assistance to address any design integration questions quickly, ensuring a smooth and successful transition from the imported component.
From high-current DC-DC buck/boost converters and motor drive modules to uninterruptible power supplies and battery management systems, the VBL1615 emerges as the intelligent choice for replacing the IRF1010ESTRLPBF. Its combination of performance parity, package compatibility, guaranteed supply, and local support provides a compelling value proposition. Choosing the VBL1615 is more than a component swap; it is a strategic step toward securing your supply chain, optimizing costs, and enhancing product reliability without compromising on performance or increasing design complexity.
