IR Releases Series of 30V MOSFETs

International Rectifier, a developer of power management technology, announced it has introduced a series of 30V TO-220 HEXFET power MOSFETs with low gate charge (Qg) for applications including Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) inverters, low voltage power tools, ORing applications and netcom and server power supplies.

IR said its MOSFETs feature its Trench technology and offer on-state resistance (RDS(on)) to reduce thermal dissipation. In addition, the new devices' ultra low gate charge helps extend battery life of UPS inverters or power tools.

"The new devices offer the best cost and performance tradeoff. Moreover, by offering four levels of RDS(on) and Qg at a 30V level, the devices provide design engineers with the flexibility to select the optimum device to match their specifications and requirements for the application," said Hemal Shah, marketing manager for IR's Power Management Devices Business Unit.

The new MOSFETs feature avalanche voltage and current and are direct replacements and upgrades to existing 30V TO-220 devices as IR continues to develop benchmark MOSFETs. They are qualified to industrial grade and moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1). The 30V MOSFETs are available in a TO-220 package, are offered lead free and are RoHS compliant.

The new devices are available immediately, the company noted in a release.
