question about mosfet ratings

default · 2006-10-10T14:50:08+00:00

If a mosfet is rated at 280 amps (Ids continuous) and is in a TO220package, do they really expect the leads to carry 280 amps?----== Posted via - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+Newsgroups----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =----

They sell those in the USA. 50 W transformer for electronics, and a triac dimmer for up to 1600 W heating devices.

Hi Joerg,

the radio survived probably because it had too: it knew what it was power from and was scared from being repaired by the said engineer :-)

Thanks, Fred.
