new irfp mosfets

[elviukai]

hello guys, what is the best choise for aleph 3/30?
here is no 244. but are theese:



IRFP064N (MOS-N-FET 55 V 110 A 200 W 0,008 Om TO-247)

IRFP140 (MOS-N-FET 100 V 27 A 140 W 0,052 Om TO-247)

IRFP150 (MOS-N-FET 100 V 40 A 230 W 0,06 Om TO-247)

IRFP260 (MOS-N-FET 200 V 46 A 280 W 0,055 Om TO-247)


or 240???

I am thinkingo of 064 model at a price?

any help is welcome..

anybody?

The 064 might not suit due to the total rail voltage of the Aleph30, all the others can be used.

My Aleph30 uses IRFP150, my Aleph-X the 140.

The IRFP240 is quite popular but I'd say go for the cheapest

Most popular replacement is IRFP240.

I have used and prefer IRFP150.

The IRFP240 is a good general purpose choice
and I seem to remember it being also one of
the cheaper ones. You can buy a bunch and be
building different Alephs and Zens for quite a
while.

That said, my A30 uses IRFP044's since I
happen to have them on hand and they
worked fine. I wouldn't use them with
higher voltage rails though.

Cheers,
Dennis

Could you please tell us why you prefer the 150?

Odd, I posted a reply and later couldn't find it.

In any case, I have pointed out before that the IRF250 is
a bit like two IRF240's in parallel, and the same is true of the
150 / 140. It has more transconductance and capacitance
and dissipation capability.

If you want to use it instead of a 140 / 240, then consider
using fewer in parallel, otherwise there is a bit of spectral
shift toward the bottom end. If you want better bass, that's
a fine way to get it.

Jan,

Mr. Pass summed it up perfectly. And before I started building
the Aleph I "auditioned" a few different FETS in a pair of ZEN's.
To me IRFP150 was the winner, closely followed by IRFZ044N.
The later is in TO220 package.

I have also used them (the 150's) in two Aleph-X's.

A 150 has more dissipation capability. This means that it get's less hot if used instead of a IRF240? Or described in another way: if you use 6 IRF150's in an Aleph 5, you need less heatsinking?

No you need the same amount of heat sink for the same
temperature.
