Power Semis Take A Low Profile

Three n-channel MOSFETs are available in a new low-profile, pressure-mounted package. The IXFJ13N50 and IXFJ32N50 are rated at 500V with R_DS(ON) of 0.40 ohms and 0.15 ohms, respectively. The IXFJ40N30 is a 300V device with R_DS(ON) of 0.080 ohms.All are packaged in a straight-lead version of the TO-268 package, which has the same profile height as the TO-220 package. The new package provides a quick means of upgrading TO-220 board designs, but is also a candidate for designs with height restrictions or with safety standards requring additional strike and creep distances between live terminals.
