Vishay IRF830A Series Power MOSFET, 500V Maximum Drain Source Voltage, 5A Maximum Continuous Drain Current - IRF830APBF


This power MOSFET is a through-hole N-channel enhancement device designed for high-voltage switching in industrial electronics. It is intended for applications where robust drain-to-source voltage handling and moderate current capacity are required, providing a Compact solution for power switching on heatsinked assemblies.

Features and Benefits:


• 500V Vds enables high-voltage switching in industrial circuits • 5A continuous drain current supports steady load operation • 1.4Ω Rds(on) minimises conduction losses under load • 74W maximum power dissipation for effective thermal handling • 24nC typical gate charge allows predictable switching behaviour • Vgs ±30V rating protects gate under control-signal excursions

Applications


• Suitable for high-voltage motor drive front-ends • Ideal for switch-mode power supplies in industrial equipment • Used for power conversion modules requiring through-hole mounting • Can be used for relay-replacement switching in control panels

What mounting method is required for reliable heat removal?


The device is supplied in a TO-220AB package for through-hole installation and benefits from a heatsink attached to the tab to achieve rated power dissipation.

How does the gate charge affect switching performance?


A typical gate charge of 24nC at rated conditions determines required driver strength and influences switching losses and rise/fall times in high-speed applications.

What temperature range can it operate within?


The component is rated to function from -55°C up to 150°C, allowing use across harsh industrial thermal environments.

What protection should be considered for gate and drain overstress?


Designers should include gate protection to remain within ±30V and implement snubbing or clamp networks to limit transients on the drain at high voltages.
