Littelfuse, Inc., a leading industrial technology manufacturing company, has unveiled its latest innovation, the CPC3981Z - an 800 V, 100 mA, 45 Ohm Small Power N-Channel Depletion Mode MOSFET. What sets this product apart is its modified SOT-223-2L package, which enhances its usability in various applications. Unlike the standard SOT-223 package, CPC3981Z's modified package removes the middle pin, increasing the drain-gate pin spacing to over 4 millimeters. This extended creepage distance is particularly advantageous in higher voltage applications, such as switch mode power supplies (SMPS) or power factor correction (PFC) startup circuits, as it eliminates the need for costly conformal coating or potting.
The CPC3981Z Depletion Mode MOSFET offers an 800 V blocking voltage rating, making it ideal for use in industrial, energy, telecommunications, and LED lighting markets. Its versatility lends itself to applications like normally ON switches, power supplies, startup circuits, solid-state relays, current regulators, and constant current sources. The increased pin spacing simplifies isolation management in wide input voltage power supplies and facilitates compact printed circuit board layouts. This product reinforces Littelfuse's position in the depletion-mode MOSFET market, providing designers with a cost-effective solution for higher voltage requirements.
Littelfuse is now offering the CPC3981Z Depletion Mode MOSFETs with the product order code CPC3981ZTR, available on tape and reel in quantities of 3,000 pieces per reel. Designers can request samples through authorized Littelfuse distributors worldwide, enabling them to explore the advantages of this innovative component in their projects.
