Description
Fifth Generation HEXFETs from International Rectifier utilize advanced
processing techniques to achieve the lowest possible 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 universally preferred for all commercial-industrial
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.
