IRF510 is a third-generation Power MOSFET with the best combination of fast switching and low on-state resistance. This component is available at a lower cost. Hence, it is widely used in industrial applications for power dissipation levels up to 43W.
IRF510 MOSFET is capable to withstand drain-to-source voltage VDS up to 100V and continuous drain current ID up to 5.6A. It can withstand 20A current in pulse mode and belongs to the package TO-220AB. It is designed for applications that require high-speed switching like a motor driver, switching converter and regulators, etc.
