I have a 75332P MOSFET on a cordless drill controller heatsink. I guess it's part of a pulse width modulator. The drain (flange) connects directly to one of the battery terminals.
Does the MOSFET drain go directly to the battery minus/ground terminal? Or does it go to the battery plus terminal?
Thanks.

Tab is always drain, but which polarity depends on N or P channel.

** Some power MOSFETS have the source on the tab.In TO3, TO3P, TO220 etc

HUFA75332P3 is a 60A 55V N-channel MOSFET.
N-channnel mosfets are used as switches with the drain more positive than the source terminal.
So unless that mosfet is part of an electronic brake, or reverse polarity blocking system that terminal goes to the battery positive.
Only RF FETs. Rarely encountered in those packages because the lead inductance really sucks. They occupy that small margin between audio frequency and switching FETs and proper RF FETs with microstrip leads, and usually stud mount heatsinking.

** FFS do NOT top post !!!!!!** Lateral power mosfets, made by Hitachi, Renesas and Magnatec / Semelab / Exicon all have the case or tab as the drain.
