Features :N-Channel Power MOSFETContinuous Drain Current (ID): 9.2ADrain to Source Breakdown Voltage: 100VDrain Source Resistance (RDS) is 0.27 OhmsGate threshold voltage (VGS-th) is 4V (max)Rise time and fall time is 30nS and 20nSIt is commonly used with Arduino, due to its low threshold voltage.To-220 packageIRF520 MOSFET OverviewThe IRF540N is an N-Channel Power Mosfet. The Mosfet can switch loads that consume upto 9.2A continuous current and operate below 100V. It also has a decent on-state resistance of 0.27 Ohms which increases the efficiency of the Mosfet since it will dissipate less heat as loss.This Mosfet has a low gate threshold voltage of only 4V, this means that the Mosfet can be turned on even with 5V from the GPIO pin of microcontrollers like Arduino. But this does not mean that the Mosfet will turn on completely with just 5V, it needs around 10V supplied to the gate pin to turn on completely and supply 9.2A collector current. So if you are looking for a Mosfet to be used with microcontroller then you should consider the logic level Mosfet like 2N7002 etc.Alternatively you can also use a driver circuit to provide 10V to the gate pin of this Mosfet using a transistor. Added to this the mosfet also has good switching speeds and hence can be used in DC-DC converter circuits also.ApplicationsSwitching high power devicesControl speed of motorsLED dimmers or flashersHigh Speed switching applicationsConverters or Inverter circuits SKU: EAP-001275 Categories: Component, Electronic Parts, Transistor Tags: IRF520N, MOSFET, N-Channel
