The simple description of IRF3205 

IRF3205 is single N-channel hexfet power mosfet in a TO-220AB package,which is mainly based on Advanced Process Technology and used for fast switching purpose.

The specialty of the MOSFET is that it has very low on resistance of only 8.0mΩ making it suitable for switching circuits like Inverters, motor speed control, DC-DC converter etc. It is also one of the easily available and cheap MOSFET with a low on-resistance.

The TO-220 package is universally preferred for all commercial-industrial applications at power dissipation levels to approximately 50 watts. The low thermal resistance and low package cost of the TO-220 contribute to its wide acceptance throughout the industry.

IRF3205 has three pins, which are Source, Gate, and Drain. They correspond to different functions. For specific description about IRF3205 pin, please refer to IRF3205.datasheet. IRF3205 Pdf is available for free at the end of the article.

How does IRF3205 work

The gate, source and drain in this MOSFET are analogous to the base, collector, and emitter in the BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistors).The source and drain are made up of n-type material while component body and the substrate is made up of p-type material.

Adding silicon dioxide on the substrate layer gives this device a metal oxide semiconductor construction.

It is a unipolar device where conduction is carried out by the movement of electrons.An insulating layer is inserted in the device that makes gate terminals separated from the entire body. 

The region between drain and source is called N-channel that is controlled by the voltage present at the gate terminal.MOSFET stays ahead of the curve when they are compared to BJT as the former needs no input current to control a large amount of current on remaining two terminals.
