75332P MOSFET drain connected to which battery terminal?

Started by John Doe January 7, 2012
I have a 75332P MOSFET on a cordless drill controller heatsink. I
guess it's part of a pulse width modulator. The drain (flange)
connects directly to one of the battery terminals. 

Does the MOSFET drain go directly to the battery minus/ground
terminal? Or does it go to the battery plus terminal?

Thanks.

Tab is always drain, but which polarity depends on N or P channel.

** Some power MOSFETS have the source on the tab. In TO3, TO3P, TO220 etc ... Phil

HUFA75332P3 is a 60A 55V N-channel MOSFET. N-channnel mosfets are used as switches with the drain more positive than the source terminal. So unless that mosfet is part of an electronic brake, or reverse polarity blocking system that terminal goes to the battery positive. http://html.alldatasheet.com/html-pdf/52898/FAIRCHILD/HUFA75332P3/410/1/HUFA75332P3.html -- &#9858;&#9859; 100% natural --- Posted via news://freenews.netfront.net/ - Complaints to news@netfront.net ---

** 10,000% WRONG. You fucking, tenth witted, autistic POS. ... Phil
Only RF FETs.  Rarely encountered in those packages because the lead 
inductance really sucks.  They occupy that small margin between audio 
frequency and switching FETs and proper RF FETs with microstrip leads, and 
usually stud mount heatsinking.

** Lateral power mosfets, made by Hitachi, Renesas and Magnatec / Semelab / Exicon all have the case or tab as the drain. Egs 2SK176, BUZ900, BUZ900P, 2SK226 .... .... Phil

** Corection:

Lateral power mosfets, made by Hitachi, Renesas and Magnatec / Semelab /
 Exicon all have the case or tab as the SOURCE.

  Egs   2SK176, BUZ900, BUZ900P, 2SK226 ....
