This is a TO‑220 N‑channel power MOSFET designed for switching relatively high currents and moderate voltages. It can typically handle up to about 30 V between drain and source and continuous drain currents around 62 A, making it suitable for driving motors, LEDs, heating elements, or power‑rail switching in maker projects.
Key specs (typical)
- Type: N‑channel enhancement‑mode power MOSFET
- Voltage: Up to 30 V drain‑source maximum (VDS).
- Current: Roughly 62 A continuous drain current depending on heatsinking and PCB layout.
- Resistance when on: Very low RDS(on), about 8.7–9 mΩ at suitable gate voltage, so it wastes little power as heat.
- Gate threshold: Threshold voltage below 2.5 V, allowing direct control from 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers without a separate gate driver.
Typical use
- Switching heavy loads such as DC motors, high‑power LED strips, or solenoids from a low‑voltage logic signal.
Note: Exact part number (for example, IRLB8721‑style or STP60NF03‑style) and safe operating area depend on the manufacturer; always check the datasheet.
