How to choose a MOSFET for your project PART 2

This article is the 2nd part of How to choose a MOSFET for your project if you didn't read the 1st article yet then you can skip here and click on the link here, or if you already have basic knowledge or read the article then you can continue from here too. In this article i am going to give you a list of popular MOSFETs with their characteristics: There are lots of Manufacturer companies who make power semiconductor Power MOSFET.

1. International Rectifier.
2. Vishay Intertechnology (Siliconix)
3. Fairchild Semiconductor
4. Texas Instruments
5. Linear Technology
6. STMicroelectronics

This are the most popular brands. Between those 6 companies International Rectifier is most popular in india for their power MOSFETS. They provide a wide range of varieties. They have MOSFETs for low power application as well as for high power applications too. Their MOSFETs are started with IRF prefix. Ex: irf520, irf530, irf540, irf550, irf640, irf860 they all have different voltage and current rating. List of IRF mosfets with Max ampere, Max voltage, gate voltage, Max wattage.
