IR’s New Benchmark MOSFETs Deliver 60% Improvement In Package Current Rating

International Rectifier (IR)® introduced a new range of trench HEXFET® Power MOSFETs featuring a high package current rating for industrial battery, power supply, high power dc motors and power tools.

The new devices provide a package current rating of up to 195A, delivering what is described as a 60% improvement over typical package current ratings. These MOSFETs also provide improved on-state resistance (RDS(on)) compared to previous offerings and are available in the popular TO-220, D2PAK and TO-262 packages. Moreover, the company claims that the 7-pin D2PAK achieves a superior package current rating of 240A making it one of the most rugged surface mount packages available. In addition, the 7-pin D2PAK offers further reduction in RDS(on) over the D2PAK.

"The higher current rating from these packages can provide more guard band from unwanted transients and help reduce part count in parallel-type topologies where several MOSFETs share high current," said Brian LaValle, Marketing Manager for IR’s Power Management Devices Business Unit.

The N-channel MOSFETs provide a voltage range of 60 to 200V and are qualified to industrial grade and moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1). The devices are offered lead free and are RoHS compliant.

The new MOSFETs are available immediately. Pricing begins at US $1.38 each for the IRFB3006PBF in 10,000-unit quantities.
