IRFP150N
HEXFET® Power MOSFET
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.
The TO-247 package is preferred for commercial-
industrial applications where higher power levels
preclude the use of TO-220 devices. The TO-247 is
similar but superior to the earlier TO-218 package
because of its isolated mounting hole.
