Hi All,
I was wondering if someone could clear up some confusion for me.
I recently ran across the Fairchild FDS6961A dual N-Channel MOSFET, and noticed that it claims to be able to handle a maximum of 3.5A continuous Drain Current and a Drain-Source voltage of 30V. Impressed by the general specifications, I bought a few.
I have yet to setup a circuit to test, but after receiving the actual part, I have a hard time believing that this little guy will handle what it claims. The actual component is very tiny, about the size of a pea.
I was thinking of using two of these in and H-Bridge setting to power a bi-polar stepper, driven by a PIC 16F684. Can anyone verify that this little guy will handle such power? My bi-polar stepper motor runs at 24V and 2.0A. I feel that I am not reading the data sheet correctly. Attached is the data sheet for the MOSFET. Any help is truly appreciated.
Thanks!
