Product Summary

The IRF840 is a power MOSFET. The IRF840 provides the designer with the best combination of fast switching, ruggedized device design, low on-resistance and cost-effectiveness. The TO-220 package of the IRF840 is universally preferred for all commercial-industrial applications at power dissipation levels to approximately 50 W. The low thermal resistance and low package cost of the TO-220 contribute to its wide acceptance throughout the industry.
