Single FETs, MOSFETs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision when sourcing, as Littelfuse has issued product change notifications affecting part markings and specifications within this family. Confirm the TO-247AD package variant matches your thermal design requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if required by your manufacturing process. Cross-reference ordering suffixes carefully to avoid functional mismatches.

Single FETs, MOSFETs Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high voltage blocking with moderate current handling in a standard through-hole package. The Polar3 technology offers a balance between conduction losses and switching speed. Consider the thermal resistance of the TO-247 package for heat dissipation planning. Compare against other HiPerFET variants if lower gate charge or higher current density is needed for specific topology constraints.

Single FETs, MOSFETs Part Context

This device belongs to the IXF series of N-channel enhancement mode MOSFETs manufactured by Littelfuse (formerly IXYS). The Polar3 HiPerFET line is engineered for high-performance power conversion. The IXFH16N50P3 represents a specific configuration within this portfolio, optimized for 500V applications. It shares architectural similarities with other parts in the IXFP and IXFA series but differs in pinout and specific electrical ratings.

Single FETs, MOSFETs Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 500V 16A TO-247 MOSFETs from the same manufacturer family, such as the IXFH16N50 or IXFP16N50, provided pinouts and electrical parameters are verified. Check for any recent product change notices that might affect compatibility.
