What is IRFP460?
The IRFP460 is a power MOSFET transistor that is commonly used in high power applications such as switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, and motor control circuits. It is designed to handle high current and high voltage loads with a maximum current rating of 20A and a maximum voltage rating of 500V.
Third generation Power MOSFETs from Vishay provide the designer with the best combination of fast switching, ruggedized device design, low on-resistance and cost-effectiveness.
The TO-247 package is preferred for commercial-industrial applications where higher power levels preclude the use of TO-220 devices. The TO-247 is similar but superior to the
earlier TO-218 package because its isolated mounting hole.
It also provides greater creepage distances between pins to meet the requirements of most safety specifications.
