VISHAY IRF540PBF N-Channel Power MOSFET, 100V, 28A, TO-220AB

The VISHAY IRF540PBF is a robust N-channel power MOSFET designed for high-performance power management applications. As a third-generation MOSFET, it offers an optimal blend of fast switching speed, a ruggedised design for reliability, and a very low on-resistance of just 0.077 Ohm, ensuring efficient operation with minimal power loss.

Engineered for demanding environments, this component features a high dynamic dV/dt rating and is rated for repetitive avalanche conditions. It can operate at a maximum junction temperature of 175°C, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. Its design allows for easy paralleling in circuits to handle higher currents and requires only simple drive circuitry, simplifying system design.

The transistor is housed in a through-hole TO-220AB package, a common and versatile form factor that facilitates heat sinking and robust mechanical mounting. With a continuous drain current rating of 28A and a drain-source voltage of 100V, it is capable of handling significant power levels, supported by a power dissipation rating of 150W.
