IRF520NS/L

PD -91340A

Fifth Generation HEXFETs 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.

sizes up to HEX-4. It provides the highest power capability and the lowest

suitable for high current applications because of its low internal connection

resistance and can dissipate up to 2.0W in a typical surface mount application.

The through-hole version (IRF520NL) is available for low-profile applications.
