Testing Procedure

Using a 12V source and a automotive 12v light bulb:

...

  • connect negative to Source(S)
  • connect voltmeter as shown
  • connect the + side of the voltmeter to Drain (Bulb should be off)
  • connect the + side of the voltmeter to Gate (will activate the mosfet)
  • connect the + side of the voltmeter to Drain (Bulb should be ON)
  • record voltage

Testing IRFP260 (Fake)

Measurements

Voltage: 12.09v

...

R(ds) = 0.055 ohms


Result

FAKE!


Testing IRFP260 (Real)

Measurements

Voltage: 12.06v

Current: 2.00A

Voltage Drain to Source: 0.075v

Calculated R(ds)

R(ds) = Vds / I = 0.075v / 2.00A = 0.0375 ohms
