IRFBC40APBF

Vishay Intertech · MOSFETs · TO-220AB

IRFBC40APBF 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, rated for a gate-source voltage of ±30 V.
2 D passive Drain of the N-channel MOSFET, rated for 600 V drain-source voltage and 6.2 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C.
3 S passive Source of the N-channel MOSFET, which is also the reference for the body diode (continuous source-drain diode current 6.2 A).
