Fairchild FQPF12N20L 200V Logic N-Channel MOSFET Handbook
The FQPF12N20L MOSFET is an N‑Channel enhancement mode power transistor built with Fairchild’s planar stripe DMOS technology. It is designed for high‑efficiency switching in DC/DC converters, SMPS and motor‑control applications, offering low gate charge and low on‑state resistance.
Key specifications include a 200 V drain‑source rating, 8.2 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, 32.8 A pulsed current, typical gate charge of 16 nC, and a TO‑220F package with thermal resistance of 2.78 °C·W (junction‑to‑case). The datasheet provides detailed electrical characteristics, test circuits, and package dimensions.
