IRFP250 advanced power mosfet provides the best combination of low resistance, ruggedized device design, cost-effectiveness, and fast switching. The IRFP250 n channel advanced power mosfet is used to power loads operating on a voltage of less than 60V and a current of 200mA.
Mosfets are power electronic switches like transistors. But, these have a higher voltage and current rating. This mosfet is available in the TO-92 package with a threshold of 3V. It is the best for you if you are looking for a tiny mosfet to switch a load.
IRFP250 datasheet
According to its datasheet, some of the main specs of the mosfet are:
- Simple drive requirements
- Fast switching
- Repetitive avalanche rated
- Dynamic dV/dt rating
- Isolated central mounting hole
- Ease of paralleling
- Compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC I
The following are the key application areas for the mosfet:
- LED flashers or dimmers
- Low power analog inverters or converters
- Small signal switching
- Switching high voltage loads
IRFP250 pinout
IRFP250 has three pins; the source, gate, and drain. The source is pin 1, and it is where the current flows from. Pin 2 is the gate pin, and it is the pin that controls the biasing of the mosfet. It acts as a switch for turning on and off the mosfet. If the ground is connected to the gate, the mosfet will be off, and the connection will be open, but if the gate is connected to the ground, then the mosfet will be on. The third pin is the drain pin, and it is where the current passes through when going in.
