DESCRIPTION

Third generation power MOSFETs from Vishay provide the
designer with best combination of fast switching,
ruggedized device design, low on-resistance and
cost-effectiveness. 

2

PAK (TO-262) is a power package capable of

The I
accommodating die sizes up to HEX-4. It provides the
highest power capability and lowest possible on-resistance.

2

PAK (TO-262) is suitable for high current applications

The I
because of its low internal connection resistance and can
dissipate up to 2.0 W.
