Adafruit P-channel Power MOSFET - TO-220 Package

When you need to switch a lot of power, P channel MOSFETs are ideal for the task. These P-FETs are capable of switching over 60V and 25A, with efficient performance when equipped with proper heat-sinking. Their TO-220 package ensures compatibility with any breadboard or perfboard setup, facilitating easy integration into various projects.

Heat sinking is straightforward with TO-220s. However, thanks to a very low Rds(on) value down to 70 mOhms (contingent on Vgs), these MOSFETs support high loads without requiring additional thermal management. The threshold voltage is manageable at up to 5V for 20A of current, allowing direct control from a 5V logic microcontroller.

The TO-220 package adeptly dissipates up to 2 Watts without a heat sink at room temperature. With such efficiency and robustness, these P channel MOSFETs are built to deliver powerful, reliable switching performance in a range of applications. Detailed specifications, including pinout information, are available in the datasheet for further technical insights.
