Specifications
The 7N10 typically has a drain-source voltage (VDS) rating of 100V. The continuous drain current (ID) rating depends on the case temperature. The on-resistance (RDS(on)) is typically low, contributing to reduced power losses. The gate charge (Qg) is minimized for fast switching. It often comes in a TO-220 or similar package for effective heat dissipation.
