First question asked Welcome!

Hi,

I'm trying to determine what is the failure mode of the power FET when there is a short circuit (1kA for 5ms).  Will this FET fail open or short? Please help me understand the behavior during a short circuit from Drain to Source failure mode.  This is for an SSR application.

Hello Kelvin,

We officially do not confirm a definite failure mode behaviour.  So we cannot guarantee either open or short failure. 

Generally, if the load protection is the concern, then the customers implement the tests on their end.
