The **2N60L-TM3-R** is a specific part number for a high-voltage N-Channel MOSFET. It is widely used in power switching applications, particularly in power supplies and motor controllers. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic characteristics and specifications. --- ### 1. General Overview The "2N60" series is a standard industrial MOSFET. The suffix "L" typically denotes "Lead-free" or "Low Gate Charge," and "TM3-R" refers to the specific package and tape/reel packaging format provided by the manufacturer (commonly Unisonic Technologies - UTC). ### 2. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the core electrical parameters of the 2N60L: | Parameter | Symbol | Typical Value | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Drain-Source Voltage** | $V_{DSS}$ | 600V | | **Gate-Source Voltage** | $V_{GSS}$ | ±30V | | **Continuous Drain Current** | $I_D$ | 2.0A | | **Pulsed Drain Current** | $I_{DM}$ | 8.0A | | **On-State Resistance** | $R_{DS(on)}$ | 3.8Ω - 4.5Ω (at $V_{GS}=10V$) | | **Total Gate Charge** | $Q_g$ | 9.0 nC | | **Power Dissipation** | $P_D$ | 25W - 50W (depending on package) | --- ### 3. Key Electronic Features * **High Voltage Rating:** With a 600V capacity, it can safely handle the rectified voltage from standard AC mains (110V/220V). * **Low Gate Charge:** This allows for faster switching speeds and reduces the power required from the gate driver circuit. * **Avalanche Ruggedness:** Designed to withstand unexpected voltage spikes (Energy $E_{AS}$), making it durable in inductive load environments. * **Package (TM3):** Usually refers to the **TO-251 (IPAK)** or **TO-252 (DPAK)** footprint, which is a surface-mount or miniature through-hole package suitable for compact PCB designs. --- ### 4. Common Applications Due to its 600V/2A rating, this MOSFET is ideal for low-to-medium power conversion: 1. **Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS):** Used as the primary switching element in AC-DC adapters for laptops or mobile chargers. 2. **LED Drivers:** Controlling the current in high-voltage LED lighting systems. 3. **DC-DC Converters:** Stepping up or down voltages in industrial equipment. 4. **Electronic Ballasts:** Used in fluorescent lighting circuits. --- ### 5. Pin Configuration (TO-251/TO-252) When looking at the front of the component (labels facing you): 1. **Gate (G):** Controls the "on" and "off" state of the MOSFET. 2. **Drain (D):** Connected to the load (typically the positive supply side). 3. **Source (S):** Connected to the ground or negative side.
