PROFET high-side switch with 7 mOhm Rds(on)
This is a general-purpose high-side switch designed for automotive and industrial loads where robust fault handling and low conduction loss matter.
Fault protection set — what it covers
For a BOM engineer, this means the switch handles most fault conditions autonomously — no external sense resistor, no comparator, no supervisor IC for the load path. The Auto Restart feature (listed in the features) means the switch attempts to re-close after a thermal fault once the die cools, which is useful for intermittent overloads like a stalled motor or a lamp inrush.
Package and mounting — TO-220-7 through-hole
For the rework bench: the tab is the drain terminal, so if you bolt it to a chassis ground, you need an insulating pad or a dedicated thermal interface. The through-hole leads handle mechanical strain better than surface-mount for high-vibration environments like a vehicle body controller or an industrial pump drive.
For the storeroom: this part is still in normal production, so you can order production quantities through standard distribution without hunting surplus.
