IRF720PBF

Vishay Intertech · Pre-ordered Chips · TO-220AB

IRF720PBF 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; controls the channel, with VGS limited to ±20 V and a threshold VGS(th) of 2.0 to 4.0 V.
2 D passive Drain; connected to the mounting tab, rated for VDS up to 400 V and continuous ID of 3.3 A at TC = 25 °C.
3 S passive Source; the body diode runs from source to drain, with continuous diode current IS up to 3.3 A.
