IRLB8721

Infineon · N-channel MOSFET · TO-220

Logic-level N-channel power MOSFET that turns fully on from a 3.3 or 5 V gate drive, so a microcontroller pin can switch it directly without a gate driver. It blocks 30 V, carries up to 62 A, and has a low on-resistance (about 8.7 mOhm at 10 V gate, and still low at 4.5 V), which keeps heating down when switching motors, LEDs, and heaters. The TO-220 bolts to a heatsink for higher current. A common logic-level switch for hobby and low-voltage power control.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 G input Gate. Insulated MOS gate controlling channel conduction. Threshold voltage VGS(th) = 1.35-2.35 V (typ 1.80 V). Absolute maximum VGS = ±20 V. Typical total gate charge Qg = 7.6 nC at VGS=4.5V/VDS=15V/ID=25A; internal gate resistance RG ≈ 2.3 Ω.
2 D passive Drain. Positive terminal of the N-channel MOSFET (also connects to the tab / thermal pad). Absolute maximum VDS = 30 V. Continuous drain current ID = 62 A at TC=25°C (44 A at TC=100°C); pulsed IDM = 250 A. Static RDS(on) max 8.7 mΩ @ VGS=10V, 16 mΩ @ VGS=4.5V.
3 S passive Source. Reference terminal for the N-channel MOSFET. Also the anode of the intrinsic body diode (drain = cathode): VSD ≤ 1.0 V, trr typ 16 ns, Qrr typ 14 nC, continuous body-diode source current IS = 62 A.
