IRL540NPBF-VB

VBsemi Elec · MOSFETs · TO-220AB

IRL540NPBF-VB from VBsemi Elec, 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 a gate-source voltage limit of ±20 V.
2 D passive Drain (also connected to the mounting tab); drain-source voltage up to 100 V and continuous current 55 A at TC = 25 °C.
3 S passive Source terminal of the N-channel MOSFET, the return for drain current.
