Description
Advanced HEXFET® Power MOSFETs from International
Rectifier utilize advanced processing techniques to achieve
extremely low 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 and
reliable 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 TO-220AB
acceptance throughout the industry.
