Fairchild FQPF2P40 400V P-Channel MOSFET Datasheet
The FQPF2P40 is a P‑Channel enhancement‑mode power MOSFET fabricated with Fairchild’s planar stripe DMOS technology. It is optimized for low on‑state resistance, fast switching, and high‑energy avalanche performance, making it suitable for electronic lamp ballast applications using complementary half‑bridge topologies.
Key electrical characteristics include a -400 V drain‑source rating, -1.34 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, low gate charge (~10 nC), low reverse transfer capacitance (≈6.5 pF), and a maximum power dissipation of 28 W. The device is supplied in a TO‑220F package with thermal resistance values of 4.46 °C·W (junction‑to‑case) and 62.5 °C·W (junction‑to‑ambient).
