IRL540 N-channel Power MOSFET

Specifications

Product Overview

The Vishay IRL540 is a single N-channel Power MOSFET specified in the TO-220AB package for Power_Management applications. Its headline ratings include 100 V drain-source voltage, 28 A continuous drain current at VGS=5 V and TC=25°C, and 20 A continuous drain current at TC=100°C. Pulsed drain current is rated at 110 A, with pulse width limited by maximum junction temperature.

Conduction performance is defined by 0.077 ohm maximum drain-source on-state resistance at VGS=5.0 V and ID=17 A, and 0.11 ohm maximum at VGS=4.0 V and ID=14 A. Gate-drive data includes 64 nC maximum total gate charge, 9.4 nC maximum gate-source charge, and 27 nC maximum gate-drain charge at ID=28 A, VDS=80 V, and VGS=5.0 V.

Thermal and assembly data include 1.0°C/W maximum junction-to-case thermal resistance, 62°C/W maximum junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, 0.50°C/W typical case-to-sink resistance on a flat greased surface, 300°C soldering peak temperature for 10 s, and 10 lbf-in or 1.1 N-m mounting torque with a 6-32 or M3 screw.

Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for IRL540, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.

If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.

For power IC and power device sourcing, voltage rating, current rating, power dissipation, package thermal performance, protection features, qualification grade and application conditions should be reviewed before approval.
