Description
Fifth Generation HEXFETs from International Rectifier
utilize advanced processing techniques to achieve
extremely low on-resistance per silicon area. This benefit,
combined with the fast switching speed and ruggedized
device design that HEXFET Power MOSFETs are well
known for, provides the designer with an extremely efficient
and reliable device for use in a wide variety of applications.

The TO-247 package is preferred for commercial-industrial

applications where higher power levels preclude the use of
TO-220 devices. The TO-247 is similar but superior to the TO-247AC
earlier TO-218 package because of its isolated mounting
hole.
