40 V, 120 A N-channel in TO-220AB — what this part is
The Infineon IRFB7446PBF is a 40 V, 120 A N-channel power MOSFET from the HEXFET® and StrongIRFET™ series, in a through-hole TO-220AB package. It is designed for high-current switching applications such as DC-DC converters, motor drives, battery management, and power distribution where low conduction loss and robust avalanche capability matter. The 3.3 mOhm maximum on-resistance at 10 V gate drive keeps I²R losses manageable at 70 A continuous drain current, and the 175 °C maximum junction temperature gives headroom in thermally constrained environments like automotive engine bays or industrial enclosures.
Temperature range and mounting
Rated for -55 °C to 175 °C junction temperature, the IRFB7446PBF covers military and industrial extremes. The TO-220AB through-hole package suits point-to-point wiring on perfboard or soldering into a PCB with a heatsink tab. The ±20 V maximum gate-source voltage gives margin for gate-drive overshoot in noisy environments.
Lifecycle and sourcing
It is RoHS3 compliant.
