DESCRIPTION
Third generation power MOSFETs from Vishay provide the designer with the best
combination of fast switching, ruggedized device design, low on-resistance and
cost-effectiveness.
The TO-220AB package is universally preferred for all commercial-industrial
applications at power dissipation levels to approximately 50 W. The low
thermal resistance and low package cost of the TO-220AB contribute to its wide
acceptance throughout the industry.
