About this manual

The FQPF7N40 is a 400 V N‑channel enhancement‑mode power MOSFET built with Fairchild’s planar stripe DMOS technology. It offers low on‑state resistance, fast switching, and 100 % avalanche testing, making it suitable for high‑efficiency switch‑mode power supplies and lamp ballast applications.

Key specifications include a continuous drain current of 46 A at 25 °C, pulsed current up to 184 A, typical gate charge of 16.5 nC, and a power dissipation rating of 42 W. Thermal resistance is 2.98 °C·W (junction‑to‑case) and 62.5 °C·W (junction‑to‑ambient). The device is supplied in a TO‑220F package.
