12N80 is an N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET rated for a maximum drain-to-source voltage of 800 V and a drain current of up to 12 A.
The device is manufactured using UTC's advanced Planar Stripe and DMOS technology, providing low on-state resistance and superior switching performance.
The device is designed to achieve low RDS(ON) together with high switching speed.
The UTC 12N80 can also withstand high-energy pulses under avalanche and commutation conditions.
The device is intended for use in high-efficiency switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).

Practical Note
The 800 V VDS rating is the maximum drain-to-source voltage rating; it does not mean that an 800 V operating voltage should be applied continuously.
In Flyback converters, the MOSFET drain can experience substantial voltage spikes during turn-off. Proper snubber/clamp circuitry is therefore important to keep the actual drain voltage within the device's safe operating limits.
The specified RDS(ON) < 1.0 Ω applies at VGS = 10 V. When selecting a replacement MOSFET, the actual gate-drive voltage must therefore be taken into account.
