IR Introduces High Performance MOSFETs for Power Supplies and Electric Motors -

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., May 19, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- International Rectifier, IR(R) (NYSE: IRF), a world leader in power management technology, today introduced a new family of 60 V and 75 V MOSFETs optimized for industrial battery applications such as E-bikes, scooters and utility carts.

The new N-channel devices utilize IR's trench MOSFET technology with superior on-state resistance (RDS(on)) for improved system efficiency and high reliability, also making them well suited for battery back-up systems such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) as well as hard switched or high frequency circuits common in switch mode power supplies (SMPS).

"As industrial battery applications continue to proliferate, these new MOSFETs provide engineers with the expanded voltage ranges and current levels to meet their design requirements," said Brian LaValle, marketing manager for IR's Power Management Devices Business Unit.

The new devices are offered lead free, in TO-220, D-PAK and D(2) PAK packages and are RoHS compliant.

Additional information is available on the International Rectifier website at http://www.irf.com/whats-new/nr080416.html.

Availability and Pricing

The new MOSFETs are available immediately. Pricing begins at US$0.46 each for the IRFB3806PbF and US$0.60 each for the IRFB3607PbF and IRF1018EPbF, all in 1,000-unit quantities. Pricing is subject to change.
