IRF510 Datasheet [100V, 5.6 Amp, N-Channel MOSFET]

Last Updated on February 27, 2023 by Swagatam Leave a Comment

The IRF510 is a popular N-channel power MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) commonly used in electronic circuits for various applications, including audio amplifiers, power supplies, and switching circuits.

It is rated with a maximum voltage of 100 volts and a maximum current of 5.6 amps. These ratings makes the device suitable for medium to high power applications. The IRF510 MOSFET features a low on-resistance. Due to this feature it is able to switch optimal amounts of currents without dissipating too much power in the form of heat.

Electrical Characteristics:

  • Drain-Source Voltage (VDS): 100V
  • Continuous Drain Current (ID): 5.6A
  • Power Dissipation (PD): 43W
  • Gate-Source Voltage (VGS): ±20V
  • Total Gate Charge (Qg): 50nC
  • Threshold Voltage (VGS(th)): 2V to 4V
  • Drain-Source On-Resistance (RDS(on)): 0.5 ohms

Thermal Characteristics:

  • Junction Temperature (Tj): -55°C to 175°C
  • Thermal Resistance - Junction to Case (RθJC): 1.4°C/W
  • Thermal Resistance - Junction to Ambient (RθJA): 62.5°C/W

Pin Configuration:

caution electricity can be dangerous

The IRF510 MOSFET has three pins: the drain (D), the gate (G), and the source (S). The pinout configuration is as follows:

  • Pin 1: Gate (G)
  • Pin 2: Drain (D)
  • Pin 3: Source (S)

Package Information:

The IRF510 MOSFET is available in the TO-220 package, which is a through-hole package with a single mounting hole. The package dimensions are as follows:

  • TO-220 Package: 10.67mm x 15.87mm x 4.83mm

Typical Applications:

The IRF510 MOSFET is commonly used in power switching applications, such as:

  • Power supplies
  • Motor control
  • Audio amplifiers
  • RF amplifiers
  • Switching regulators
  • DC-DC converters

Simple Motor Controller Circuit
