LR024N MOSFET — Specifications & Equivalents

About the LR024N

The LR024N is a MOSFET with a drain–source voltage (V_DS) rating of 60 V and a continuous drain current (I_D) of 16.9 A. It can dissipate up to 41.7 W and is rated to a junction temperature of 150 °C. It is supplied in the TO252 package.

Typical applications

With its 60 V drain–source rating the LR024N sits in the mid-range class of switching MOSFETs, typically found in 24 V and 48 V industrial and battery systems, motor drives and H-bridges and load and hot-swap switching.

Gate drive and switching notes

Keep gate–source voltage within the ±20 V maximum; exceeding it punctures the gate oxide and destroys the device permanently.

Switching behaviour is characterised by an output capacitance (C_oss) of 85 pF, which together with the gate drive determines switching loss and the practical upper frequency limit.

Choosing a replacement for the LR024N

A drop-in substitute for the LR024N should match its polarity and offer a drain–source rating of at least 60 V and a continuous drain current rating of at least 16.9 A.

Mechanically, check the replacement against the TO252 footprint and confirm the pin order — parts sharing a package outline do not always share a pinout.

Where the application switches inductive loads or runs near the voltage limit, keep extra headroom rather than choosing a part that only just meets the original numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What is the LR024N?

The LR024N is a MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 60 V drain-source and 16.9 A continuous drain current.

What is the maximum voltage of the LR024N?

The LR024N has a maximum drain-source voltage (Vds) of 60 V. Treat this as an absolute maximum and design with margin, especially when switching inductive loads.

How much current can the LR024N handle?

It is rated for 16.9 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 41.7 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.

What package does the LR024N come in?

It is listed in TO252. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.

What can I use to replace the LR024N?

This page lists 17 candidate equivalents matched on electrical ratings and package. Any replacement should meet or exceed the original voltage, current and dissipation figures and use a compatible drive level.
