The IXTK17N120L is an N-channel enhancement mode MOSFET designed for linear operation with guaranteed forward bias safe operating area (FBSOA) at 60°C. It is packaged in a TO-264 case with a weight of 10 g, rated for a drain-source voltage of 1200 V, continuous drain current of 17 A, and maximum power dissipation of 700 W. The device has a maximum on-state resistance of 900 mΩ and is avalanche rated. It meets UL 94 V-0 flammability classification for molding epoxies. The junction and storage temperature ranges are -55°C to +150°C. Mounting torque is specified at 1.13 Nm for the TO-264 package.
When Power MOSFETs are used in the linear-mode operation, as opposed to their conventional switch-mode one, they are required to endure substantially high thermal and electrical stresses due to the simultaneous occurrence of high drain voltages and currents; these extreme stresses can cause typical devices to fail. Littelfuse Linear MOSFETs have been designed to address these kinds of device failures – the FBSOAs are “extended” when the positive feedback of electro-thermal instability is suppressed, giving rise to larger “operating windows.” The FBSOAs are guaranteed at 75°C.
