Part Number IRF840
Description 8A, 500V, N-Channel MOSFET, Transistor
Manufacturers NXP Semiconductors 
Logo NXP Semiconductors Logo 

The IRF840 is a type of power MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor) that is commonly used in high-power switching applications.

Features :

1. It is an N-channel MOSFET, which means that it is controlled by a voltage applied to the gate terminal and can switch high current loads on and off.

2. It has a low on-resistance, which allows for efficient power transfer and low power dissipation.

FAQ 1: Can the IRF840 be used in low-power applications?

Answer: While the IRF840 is designed for high-power switching applications, it can be used in low-power applications as well. However, its high on-resistance and relatively slow switching speeds may make it less suitable for precise switching or low noise applications.
