To get long term performance with this transistor the designer or user but follow the below guidelines. Safe Operating Guidelines / Absolute Maximum Ratings: IRFP460 is primarily designed for motor drivers, switching regulators, switching converters, driving high power relay and transistors but it is not only limited to these uses and can be used in wide variety of applications. The transistor’s primary applications or which the transistor is designed for are relay drivers, high power transistor drivers, switching regulators, motor drivers, switching converters but it can be used in wide variety of general purpose applications. As mentioned above the maximum drain to source voltage is 500V, maximum continuous drain current is 20A, max pulse drain current is 80A, max power dissipation is 280mW. Other features are dynamic dV/dt rating, ease of paralleling, repetitive avalanche rated.īeside the above features the transistor also has quite good specs. The transistor has isolated central mounting hole which is also a plus point. The transistor also has high drain to source voltage due to which it can be used in variety of high DC voltage and AC designs and circuits. It also has fast switching speed which is in nanoseconds due to which it is ideal to use in applications where high speed switching is required. One of the good feature of this transistor is that it is simple to drive means it require low gate power due to which it can be operated directly from the output of ICs, microcontrollers and other electronic platforms such as arduino, raspberry pi etc. This transistor is having many useful features which are as follow:

IRFP460 is an N Channel MOSFET device available in TO-247 package.
