Hi Fellas! I hope you’re well today. Happy to see you around. In this post today, I’ll walk you through the Introduction to IRF840.
The IRF840 is an n-channel power MOSFET. It is a fast switching and high voltage device that is available with low on-state resistance. As this is an n-channel MOSFET here conduction process is exercised by the movements of the electrons. In other words, though conduction is carried out by both the movement of holes and electrons, electrons are major carriers in this case.
I suggest you read this entire post till the end as I’ll discuss the complete Introduction to IRF840 covering datasheet, pinout, features, equivalent, and applications. Let’s jump right in.
Before incorporating this device into your electrical project, it’s better to scan through the datasheet of the component that features the main characteristics of the device. You can download the datasheet of this component IRF840 by clicking the link given below.
The IRF840 is an N-channel power MOSFET. It is a fast-switching device that comes with three pins known as:
Recall, the gate terminal controls the current between the source and drain terminals. The gate terminal initiates the conduction process when we apply the biased voltage of around 10V at the gate terminal.
The following figure shows the pinout diagram of IRF840 MOSFET.Mind it… generally, the MOSFET is a four-pin component that contains four terminals called:
The bodyside is always connected with the source pin. So we generally call the MOSFET a three-terminal device.
The following are the equivalent of IRF840.
The IRF840 is used in the following applications.
