You mean for parallel connection like gate to gate , source to source , and drain to drain?No. VDS will still be 55V for said parallel MOSFETs
Sure.You mean for parallel connection like gate to gate , source to source , and drain to drain?
You would normally get a MOSFET with a higher VDS rating. While it is possible to use two MOSFETs in series, you'd require some crazy drivers to make sure that neither is ever subjected to a greater than its specified VGS, and that the upper MOSFET gate can be driven with a voltage up to 65V; it's cheaper, easier and more reliable to just use the appropriate MOSFET to start with.What am trying to ask is can I now connect a higher voltage say 60v since both MOSFETs act like one whole giant mosfet?
Well, if you need more than 55 VDS, then the one with a 200 VDS spec. is better.OK
Now I get it.
One more thing between irf3205 and irfp260n which is better.
Irf3205 has 55v VDS with 110A current and 8millohm RDS while 260n has 200v VDS with 50A drain and 44milliohm RDS
Actually I will be using a 24v input so I will settle for the 55vds since it's atlest twice the voltageWell, if you need more than 55 VDS, then the one with a 200 VDS spec. is better.
Yes and no.You cannot connect transistors or Mosfets directly in parallel to increase the current handling because they will not be exactly the same. The more sensitive one will take most or all of the load current and be destroyed.
If a typical and a max part are parallel, yes they don't share equal but one will not take all the current!
