ON Semiconductor N-Channel Power MOSFET, 60V 50A, TO-220AB

The ON Semiconductor RFP50N06 is a robust N-channel power MOSFET engineered using the advanced MegaFET process. This technology utilises silicon feature sizes similar to those found in LSI integrated circuits, providing exceptional performance and efficient use of material. Designed as a versatile and high-power switching component, it is an ideal choice for demanding electronic applications where reliability and efficiency are critical.

Key Features & Specifications

• High Voltage & Current: Rated for a drain-source voltage (Vds) of 60V and a continuous drain current (Id) of 50A, making it suitable for substantial power loads.
• Low On-State Resistance: Features a remarkably low drain-source on-state resistance (Rds(on)) of just 0.022Ω at a 10V test voltage, which minimises power loss and heat generation during operation.
• High Power Handling: Capable of dissipating up to 131W of power, supported by a maximum rated junction temperature of 175°C for reliable performance under thermal stress.
• Direct IC Drive: Can be operated directly from most integrated circuit outputs, simplifying circuit design and reducing component count.
• Through-Hole Package: Housed in a industry-standard TO-220AB package with 3 pins, designed for straightforward through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs) or heatsinks.

Primary Applications
