I am using a mosfet for switching my heater on/off. The heater is 32V 250W. My mosfet is IRFS3206.
The required temperature that is to be maintained by the heater is 40C. How will I check whether this mosfet is enough or I should change this.?
Please explain me in generic way ..
This is what i did. Rds(on)=2.4mohm. the load current is 16A(P/V). So P=0.6W
Rja=62C/W . Tja=62*0.6=37C . Now considering ambient as 40C. Tj=77C.
Is this method rite?
Thanking you..
