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-247AC package is preferred for
commercial-industrial applications where higher power
levels preclude the use of TO-220AB devices. The
TO-247AC is similar but superior to the earlier TO-218
package because its isolated mounting hole. It also provides
greater creepage distances between pins to meet the
requirements of most safety specifications.
