IRF250
Data Sheet March 1999
30A, 200V, 0.085 Ohm, N-Channel
Power MOSFET
This N-Channel enhancementmode silicon gate power field
effect transistor is designed, tested and guaranteed to
withstand a specified level of energy in the breakdown
avalanche mode of operation. These MOSFETs are
designed for applications such as switching regulators,
switchingconverters,motordrivers,relaydrivers,anddrivers
for high power bipolar switching transistors requiring high
speed and low gate drive power. They can be operated
directly from integrated circuits.
Formerly developmental type TA09295.
