Product Overview
The IRFP240 is a Vishay single N-channel power MOSFET for Power_Management designs. Its primary ratings include 200 V drain-source voltage, ±20 V gate-source voltage, 20 A continuous drain current at TC=25°C, 12 A at TC=100°C, and 80 A pulsed drain current under the stated repetitive rating condition.
Electrical behavior is defined by 0.18 Ω maximum RDS(on) at VGS=10 V and ID=12 A, 2.0 V to 4.0 V gate-source threshold voltage, 6.9 S minimum forward transconductance, and 70 nC maximum total gate charge. Switching data includes 14 ns typical turn-on delay, 51 ns typical rise time, 45 ns typical turn-off delay, and 36 ns typical fall time under the specified test circuit.
The device uses a TO-247AC package with JEDEC TO-247 variation AC dimensions and a 5.46 mm BSC lead pitch. Assembly-related limits include 300°C soldering peak temperature for 10 s at 1.6 mm from case and 10 lbf·in / 1.1 N·m mounting torque for a 6-32 or M3 screw.
