Fifth Generation HEXFETs from International Rectifier utilize advanced processing
techniques to achieve extremely low on-resistance per silicon area. This benefit,
combined with the fast switching speed and ruggedized device design that
HEXFET Power MOSFETs are well known for, provides the designer with an
extremely efficient and reliable device for use in a wide variety of applications.
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 of its isolated mounting hole.
