PRODUCT SUMMARY Please see the information / tables in this datasheet for details VDS (V) 100 RDS(on) (Ω) VGS = 10 V 0.077 DESCRIPTION Qg max. (nC) 72 Third generation power MOSFETs from Vishay provide the Q designer with the best combination of fast switching, gs (nC) 11 ruggedized device design, low on-resistance and Qgd (nC) 32 cost-effectiveness. Configuration Single The TO-220AB package is universally preferred for all commercial-industrial applications at power dissipation levels to approximately 50 W. The low thermal resistance and low package cost of the TO-220AB contribute to its wide acceptance throughout the industry.
