IRF520PBF

Vishay Intertech · MOSFETs · TO-220AB

IRF520PBF from Vishay Intertech, in a TO-220AB. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 G input Gate of the N-channel MOSFET; the gate-source voltage is rated at VGS = ±20 V in the absolute maximum ratings.
2 D passive Drain of the N-channel MOSFET, rated at VDS = 100 V with 9.2 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C; the datasheet's thermal resistance is specified junction-to-case (Drain).
3 S passive Source of the N-channel MOSFET; the integral body diode is rated at 9.2 A continuous source-drain current and 37 A pulsed diode forward current.
