    I think i found just the right MOSFETs for an inverter.

    IRF3205. 55 volts, 80A continuous current at 100C, 8 milliohms (yup, that's 0.008 ohms) RDSon, and a whopping 390 amps pulse current. $1.56 each in a local store. Parallel 4 of those and you've got the basis for a 3.5kW inverter. Or a DC-DC for a spot welder or something. Any other bright ideas as to what could be done with them?

      An 85A diode comes in a DO-5 package, a bit slim for 85A but wouldn't melt the leads if cooled. Seems like 80A in a TO-220, TO-252, or TO-263 package would melt the leads within a few seconds.

          Some CPUs use over 100A at their 1.2v or so. And you don't see VRM fets melted all that often. It's not like a diode with its huge voltage drop. It is gonna take more than four for 3.5kw continuous due to the dissipation limit, not due to the current limit.

              inverter H tree driver imbalance in an AC inverter
              by eccerr0r
              My cheap crappy 1KW grid tie inverter (GTI) seems to keep blowing IGBTs. When I first got it, it had two failed IGBTs. It used four 60N100's (TO264). I bought 5 from a dubious source (fleabay) and replaced just the two that were dead. The GTI worked for almost two years but recently one of the two that I replaced failed. Since I had three spares, I replaced the dead one. Then a few weeks later it failed again. Weird. Well since I bought dubious China-sourced IGBTs from fleabay it could very well just be a mixture of fakes. I replaced it, but then a day later it failed again! I put in the last...

              Harman Kardon sub TS11 (ds15 amplifer) blows fuse and mosfets
              by BlackScreen_22
              Hi, I'll start by saying that I'm not an expert and I've reached a point where I don't know what to try/do anymore...
              Starting from the beginning: I opened this subwoofer for the first time with a very strong smell of burnt electrical components, I realize that on the amplifier board there is a hole between V+ OUT and GND about the size of a finger, the damaged components were the shorted mosfets, two damaged zener diodes and two capacitors. I bought everything, I fixed the hole by cutting the pcb and putting a piece of a perforated board.
              I had no problems connecting mosfets and capacitors,...

              Intel D865PERL - no Vcore after replacing MOSFETs and MOSFET drivers
              by kotel studios
              Hi,

              Finally got time to fix this board up.
              At first it didn't give any POST codes. Turns out it was an unsupported Celeron D cpu. After dropping in an Celery 2.6gHz the CPU came out of reset with clock signal, but still no post codes. For a while it did work when I applied pressure to the ADP3168 chip, but on next reboot the MOSFETs started to burn. Then I left it as is for months.

              Now I came back prepared. Replaced the bad MOSFETs and the ADPxx18k drivers. Now I don't get any MOSFETs blowing up issues anymore. But sadly, the Vcore is missing. The whole VRM isn't...

              Vizio E55-E1 bad backlights or bad inverter?
              by x_orange90_x
              I just got this tv today and it appeared to have no backlight on. After taking off the rear cover and checking again in the dark I can see that MAYBE one quadrant is lit.. But still it's quite dim. I was going to check the LEDs with my tester, and I found LED 1 and LED 2 + pins on the wire from the inverter, but I couldn't identify a ground. Nonetheless I tried using a mounting screw on the inverter board and also the chassis as ground but regardless my tester reads 300 which is what it reads when there is no voltage draw.

              I don't know how exactly to test the inverter itself. Is it...

              kenwood kr-6030 Mosfets?????
              by DrDos
              Hello everyone, I have decided to try and replace the mosfets in my power amp (the one with relay and left and right sides) on my kenwood kr-6030. I'm trying to get the A side of my speakers working. I have replaced all the caps in the power board and I thought why not change the mosfets. They seem to be working since I have great music coming out of the B side speakers and since I am not an electronic guru (but I am learning) I don't want to make any mistakes. The mosfets I have are listed A913 so I guess 2sa913 and 2sc1913. Can't really find those in mouser or digikey at least with the info...
