Fairchild FQPF6N50 500V N‑Channel MOSFET Datasheet
The FQPF6N50 is a 500 V N‑Channel enhancement mode power MOSFET designed with Fairchild's planar stripe DMOS technology. It offers low gate charge (typical 17 nC), low output capacitance (typical 11 pF) and fast switching performance, making it suitable for high‑efficiency switch‑mode power supplies and power factor correction circuits.
The datasheet provides absolute maximum ratings, detailed electrical characteristics, typical performance curves, and test circuit diagrams. Package dimensions for the TO‑220F case and handling guidelines are also included, along with trademark and disclaimer information.
