00:00Best AOD2 N60 MOSFET Chips Under $3.32 Video Script
00:05So here's the thing, MOSFETs are one of those parts you always need and never have enough of.
00:10Whether you're building an inverter, a DC motor driver, or just swapping out a dead switch mode
00:15supply, the price of the chip itself is rarely the problem. It's shipping in minimum order
00:20quantities that kill you. I went through the marketplace listings, sorted the good stuff
00:25from the sketchy stuff, and found you the best deals on AOD2 N60 class MOSFETs,
00:30plus a couple of cheaper options worth knowing about, all priced under $3.32.
00:35Let's get into it. Starting with the one most of you came for, the AOD2 N60.
00:41This listing gives you 10 pieces, genuine original parts, in the 2252 DPAK package,
00:47and the marking screen printed D2 N60 so you can confirm what you're soldering on.
00:52600 volts, 2 amps, and about 4.4 ohms of on resistance at 10 volts, that's a proper mains
00:58rated switching device for lighting, small pumps, or hot swap circuits. The rating sits at 4.8 stars
01:04across nearly 5,000 units sold, which tells me people keep coming back. For $81 works out to
01:11under $0.50 a chip, and honestly, for genuine AOD2 N60 silicon, that's a steal. Now, if you need
01:18more current than 2 amps can give you, this is the ticket. This is a 10-piece lot of 2N60
01:24transistors
01:24in the 2251 package, note that, it's the bigger tapped package, not the tiny DPAK. Headline spec is
01:31600 volts at 20 amps, which makes it a monster for motor controllers, welders, or beefier power
01:37inverters. It's a genuine N-channel device, and the seller confirms it's new and original rather than
01:43a reclaimed pull. 5 stars, over $4,700 sold. At $4.32 you're paying about $0.43 each, and for
01:5120-amp switching capability that's about as good as it gets. Next up is the budget king, and honestly
01:58the one I'd order twice if I were you. This listing lets you pick your quantity, 20, 50, 100, 500,
02:04or 1,000 pieces of the DMN3404L, a 30-volt, 5.8-amp N-channel MOSFET in a tiny Asuti
02:1123 package,
02:12marked 34N on the silkscreen. At $1.20 for the smallest lot, no other listing on this list
02:19comes close on price. This is a logic-level, low-voltage workhorse for 3.3-volt and 5-volt
02:25rails, battery management, DC-DC converters, load switches, anything where your supply is 12 volts
02:30or less. 5 stars, thousands sold. Then we get into the high-power end of the list with the FQPF9N50C.
02:39This is a 10-pack of two 220 parts, the classic through-hole package with a metal tab you can
02:44bolt a heatsink to rated at 500 volts, N-channel, from the Advanced C-series. The big advantage over
02:50the DPA-K parts is thermal, that tab is a direct path to your heatsink, so you can push real
02:56current
02:56through this thing without it cooking. A perfect fit for audio amplifiers, induction cookers,
03:01or a mains-powered supply. New stock, 5-star rating, and at 403 you're under 40 cents per chip again.
03:09Price mismatch asterisk only product 3, $1.20, and product 5, $3.08, are actually under $3.32.
03:19Products 1, 2, 4 run $4.03 to $4.81, kept in the script as asked, but don't claim the
03:26$3.32
03:27ceiling for them in the title card or on-screen text. Claims worth softening asterisk that 20 a
03:33600v figure in product 2's listing is seller marketing, check the real 2N60 datasheet before
03:38promising 20 a continuous. Same 456.aw in product 1's title, that's the device's max power rating,
03:46not a working point. If you want the under-$3.32 promise to hold literally, swap products 1, 2,
03:534 for quantity 100 lots of DMN3404L and 2N7002, or add a note that the AOD2N60 picks up a $0
04:01.48
04:02slash chip. One runnable check before publishing, verify each product's package matches the design
04:08you intend to review, 2252, DPA-K, vs. 2251 vs. 2220 vs. Acedi23 are not interchangeable,
04:15and the AOD2N60's DPA-K tab is the largest of the three.
