IRF840 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The IRF840 is an N-Channel Power MOSFET from STMicroelectronics, designed for high voltage switching applications. It offers a drain-source voltage rating of 500V and continuous drain current of 8A at 25°C (5.1A at 100°C). The device features a maximum on-resistance of 0.85Ω at 10V gate drive, with a typical value of 0.75Ω. Gate charge is 39nC and input capacitance is 832pF, enabling efficient high-speed switching.

 

The MOSFET is avalanche rated with a single pulse energy capability of 520mJ. It is housed in a TO-220-3 through-hole package, suitable for easy mounting on heatsinks. Thermal resistance junction-to-case is 1°C/W, allowing effective thermal management.

 

Typical applications include switch mode power supplies (SMPS), DC-AC converters for welding equipment, uninterruptible power supplies, and motor drives. The device is 100% avalanche tested and offers extremely high dv/dt capability.
