ID = 41A
Description
lAdvanced Process Technology
lDynamic dv/dt Rating
l175 °C Operating Temprature
lFast Switching
lFully Avalanche Rated
Fifth Generation MOSFETs from International Rectifier
utilize advanced processing techniques to achieve
extremely low on-resistance per silicon area. This
benefit, combined with the fast switching speed and
ruggedized device design that HEXFET® power
MOSFETs are well known for, provides the designer
with an extremely efficient device for use in a wide
variety of applications.
The TO-220 package is universely preferred for all
commercial applications at power dissipation levels
to approximately 50 watts. The low thermal resistance
and low package cost of the TO-220 contribute to its
wide acceptance throughout the industry.
