IRLZ44

Vishay · Logic-level power MOSFET (N-channel) · TO-220AB

N-channel logic-level power MOSFET in a TO-220AB package. It is rated 60 V drain-source and 50 A continuous drain current, with RDS(on) of 28 mohm at VGS = 5 V (39 mohm at 4 V), so it fully enhances from a 5 V or even 3.3 V logic output with no gate driver. The metal tab is the drain. The default high-current low-side switch for motors, heaters, and loads driven directly from an MCU pin.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 G input Gate. Logic-level MOSFET control input; VGS(th) = 1.0 V min / 2.0 V max, VGS abs max ±10 V. RDS(on) is specified at VGS = 4 V (0.039 Ω) and VGS = 5 V (0.028 Ω).
2 D passive Drain. MOSFET drain terminal; VDS = 60 V max, continuous ID = 50 A at TC = 25 °C (36 A at TC = 100 °C), pulsed IDM = 200 A. Also electrically connected to the TO-220 metal mounting tab.
3 S passive Source. MOSFET source terminal and anode of the intrinsic body diode (VSD ≤ 2.5 V at IS = 51 A). Typically tied to the load-return / ground rail in a low-side switch configuration.
TAB D passive Metal mounting tab, internally connected to the Drain (pin 2). Used as the primary thermal path to a heatsink (RthJC = 1.0 °C/W max); must be electrically isolated from ground when the heatsink is grounded.
