Additional Details

The SUB65P04-15-E3 is typically characterized by its drain-source voltage rating (VDS), gate-source voltage rating (VGS), continuous drain current (ID), and pulsed drain current (IDM). The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) is the voltage required to turn the MOSFET on. The device's thermal resistance, both junction-to-ambient and junction-to-case, are important considerations for thermal management. Depending on the application's power dissipation, proper heat sinking or PCB layout techniques might be necessary to keep the MOSFET within its safe operating area.
