Additional Details

The IPP048N12N3GXKSA1 has a voltage rating of 120V and a typical on-resistance (Rds(on)) of 4.8 mΩ. The package is typically a TO-220 or similar through-hole package, allowing for easy mounting and heat dissipation. The 'N3G' designation indicates it's a part of the CoolMOS N3 series. Key specifications to consider include drain-source voltage (Vds), gate-source voltage (Vgs), continuous drain current (Id), pulsed drain current (Idm), and total power dissipation (Pd). The gate charge (Qg) is an important parameter for determining switching losses. Consult the Infineon datasheet for complete electrical characteristics, thermal resistance, and recommended operating conditions. The CoolMOS technology reduces on-resistance and gate charge compared to traditional MOSFETs, leading to higher efficiency and lower switching losses, particularly at higher frequencies.
