An extension on the offer of higher voltages has been announced by Vishay Intertechnology, of the 600V and 650V E Series power MOSFETs with three new n-channel devices in the compact PowerPAK SO-8L package.

Providing space-saving alternatives to MOSFETs in the TO-252 (DPAK) package, the Vishay Siliconix 600V and 650V increase reliability and provide reduced package inductance for lighting, industrial, telecom, computing, and consumer applications.

Designed and developed by Vishay Siliconix, the surface-mount PowerPAK SO-8L package of the MOSFETs is fully RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and lead (Pb)-free. Measuring only 5x6mm, they occupy only half the board space, with half the height, of devices in the TO-252 (DPAK) package. The PowerPAK SO-8L can also offer improved board-level reliability when subjected to temperature cycling over the lifetime of the equipment.

Built on the latest energy-efficient E Series technology, the SiHJ8N60E, SiHJ6N65E, and SiHJ7N65E feature low maximum on-resistance and low gate charge times on-resistance, a key figure for MOSFETs used in power conversion applications. These values translate into extremely low conduction and switching losses to save energy in power factor correction, fly back and two-switch forward converters, and hard-switched topologies for HID and LED lighting, and industrial, telecom, consumer, and computing power adapters.

The MOSFETs are designed to withstand high energy pulses in the avalanche and commutation modes with guaranteed limits through 100% UIS testing. MOSFETs are available now, with lead times of 16 weeks.
