IRF250

30A, 200V, 0.085 Ohm, N-Channel

Power MOSFET

This N-Channel enhancement mode silicon gate power ﬁeld

effect transistor is designed, tested and guaranteed to

withstand a speciﬁed level of energy in the breakdown

avalanche mode of operation. These MOSFETs are

designed for applications such as switching regulators,

switching converters, motor drivers, relay drivers, and drivers

for high power bipolar switching transistors requiring high

speed and low gate drive power. They can be operated

directly from integrated circuits.

Formerly developmental type TA09295.
