Vishay IRFZ48R Series Power MOSFET, 60V Drain Source Voltage, 50A Continuous Drain Current - IRFZ48RPBF


This power MOSFET is a through‑hole N‑channel enhancement device designed for switching and amplification tasks in industrial electronic systems. It operates within moderate voltage ranges and is suited to applications requiring robust thermal tolerance and substantial current handling in a TO‑220AB package.

Features and Benefits:


• 60V maximum drain‑source voltage for mid‑voltage circuits • 50A continuous drain current for heavy‑load switching • 0.018Ω Rds(on) reduces conduction losses • 190W power dissipation for sustained power handling • 110nC typical gate charge for predictable switching behaviour • 175°C maximum junction temperature for high‑temperature environments

Applications


• Suitable for motor drive stages in automation systems • Ideal for power supply switch elements in industrial equipment • Used for load switching in electrical distribution modules • Can be used for high‑current switching in mechanical control systems

What gate drive considerations are required for fast switching?


Use a driver capable of delivering sufficient Peak current to charge 110nC quickly, and observe the 20V maximum gate‑source rating to avoid overdrive.

How does thermal management affect continuous operation?


Mount on an appropriate heatsink and consider the 190W dissipation limit and 175°C maximum operating temperature when calculating thermal resistance and duty cycles.

What factors determine suitability for PCB versus chassis mounting?


The through‑hole TO‑220AB format suits both PCB mounting and isolated heatsink attachment

choose mounting based on thermal path and mechanical stress needs.

Can this device tolerate low‑temperature environments during storage and operation?


It is specified to operate down to -55°C, so ensure materials and solder processes are compatible with that lower bound.
