IRFZ44N Power MOSFET

MOSFET Type: The IRFZ44N is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET. It operates in enhancement mode, meaning it requires a positive voltage applied to the gate terminal relative to the source terminal to turn on and allow current to flow from the drain to the source.

Voltage Rating (VDS): The maximum voltage rating (VDS) of the IRFZ44N is 55 volts. This means it can handle voltages up to 55V when used in a circuit.

Current Rating (ID): The maximum continuous drain current (ID) for the IRFZ44N is 49 amperes. This current rating indicates the maximum current it can carry when fully turned on.

On-Resistance (RDS(on)): The typical on-resistance (RDS(on)) of the IRFZ44N is relatively low, which is desirable in power MOSFETs. A lower RDS(on) value means less voltage drop across the MOSFET when it's in the on-state, reducing power dissipation and improving efficiency.

Package Type: The IRFZ44N is available in various package types, with the TO-220 and TO-220AB packages being common. These packages provide good thermal performance and ease of mounting.

Applications: The IRFZ44N is frequently used in applications such as power amplifiers, motor control, power supplies, voltage regulation, electronic switches, and other high-power circuits.
