Please note: As part of the Fairchild Semiconductor integration, some of the Fairchild orderable part numbers
will need to change in order to meet ON Semiconductor’s system requirements. Since the ON Semiconductor
product management systems do not have the ability to manage part nomenclature that utilizes an underscore
(_), the underscore (_) in the Fairchild part numbers will be changed to a dash (-). This document may contain
device numbers with an underscore (_). Please check the ON Semiconductor website to verify the updated
device numbers. The most current and up-to-date ordering information can be found at www.onsemi.com. Please
email any questions regarding the system integration to Fairchild_questions@onsemi.com.

FQP5N50C/FQPF5N50C
500V N-Channel MOSFET

General Description Features

These N-Channel enhancement mode power field effect • 5A, 500V, RDS(on) = 1.4 Ω @VGS = 10 V
transistors are produced using Fairchild’s proprietary, • Low gate charge ( typical 18nC)
planar stripe, DMOS technology. • Low Crss ( typical 15pF)
This advanced technology has been especially tailored to • Fast switching
minimize on-state resistance, provide superior switching • 100% avalanche tested
performance, and withstand high energy pulse in the • Improved dv/dt capability
avalanche and commutation mode. These devices are well
suited for high efficiency switched mode power supplies,
active power factor correction, electronic lamp ballasts
based on half bridge topology.
