IRLR014 N-Channel MOSFET Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IRLR014 is an N-Channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) rated for 60V drain-to-source voltage with a continuous drain current of 7.7A at 25°C. The device is housed in a Surface Mount DPAK package (TO-252-3) and is designed for general-purpose switching and amplification applications requiring moderate power dissipation up to 25W at the case temperature.

The IRLR014 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production and repair operations for systems utilizing this component.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IRLR014 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Drain to Source Voltage (Vdss): 60V
• Continuous Drain Current (Id) @ 25°C: 7.7A (Tc)
• Rds On (Max) @ 4.6A, 5V: 200 mOhm
• Gate Threshold Voltage (Vgs(th)) @ 250µA: 2V
• Gate Charge (Qg) @ 5V: 8.4 nC
• Maximum Gate Voltage (Vgs): ±10V
• Input Capacitance (Ciss) @ 25V: 400 pF
• Power Dissipation (Max): 2.5W (Ta), 25W (Tc)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 150°C (TJ)

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• FET Type: N-Channel
• Technology: MOSFET (Metal Oxide)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: TO-252-3, DPAK (2 Leads + Tab), SC-63

Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical performance and physical form factor to ensure direct replacement without circuit redesign or PCB modification.
