Hello
I now have a dilemma with the choice of a transistor, I would like to temporarily heal my VP44 injection pump in the opel and give myself a little time to prepare for the expense related to regeneration.
The most frequently mentioned are:
IRLR2905 VDSS = 55V
RDS (on) = 0.027?
ID = 42A
Pd = 110W
However, in the Opel forum I found two posts that strongly undermine this transistor
The man who inserted IRLR2905 twice and fell after 2 days
Quote: as I wrote in my last post I gave up the next transistor replacement and I was going to sell the astra for parts. I put it on eBay. 2 days before the end of the auction, a "potential customer" wrote to me, who asked what was wrong with the pump and offered me a repair if I want. I wrote back to him that I was fixing the driver - after two days it was the same. He was surprised a bit because he thought that only he and his company in the UK knows how to do it ...
In any case, it stood out that he offered to repair the driver in exchange for information on how I learned about the transistor + opinion about his company at the English automotive electronics forum ...
I sent the driver, returned after 4 days, astra started and works until now (I've tested it for 2 weeks)
I do not know what transistor it used but wrote that it does not mount IRLR2905 because it overheats ...
Another quote also from the forum
Quote: I have one friend from the forum and I think irlr2905 is poor and irlr3705 perfectly. This fact eliminates the first one.
The parameters of this recommended one are:
IRLR3705ZPBF VDSS = 55V
RDS (on) = 8.0m?
ID = 42A
Pd = 130W
I came across several times
IRL3705ZS VDSS = 55V
RDS (on) = 8.0m?
ID = 75A
Pd = 130W
The symbols are very similar to the two above (IRL3705 and IRLR3705) and are easy to confuse, but the catalog parameters of the allowable current are very different.
Some still recommend
IRFZ44N VDSS = 55V
RDS (on) = 17.5m?
ID = 49A
Pd = 94W
IRL3803S VDSS = 30V (probably should be enough, rather at 12 V power supply there will be no more voltages in the system)
RDS (on) = 0.006?
ID = 140A
Pd = 200W
However, nowhere can I find an unambiguous oneanswers, it seems that the most recommended IRLR2905 is probably not the best solution, I have already seen a few entries where professionals repairing these drivers confirm that it is not IRLR2905, but nobody wants to reveal the secret that should be mounted.
Looking for thermal adhesives, I began to think about one more thing, to improve the heat dissipation of the transistor, it is not better to use thermally conductive paste instead of thermal glue, which has better thermal conductivity. In order for the transistor to adhere well to the surface, it should be well pressed from the top.
Now I would like to exchange the transistor for days, but I do not know what to install, I bet on IRLR3705ZPBF.
Maybe someone has already struggled with it and has experience in the practice of inserting transistors.
Can you say your opinion on this topic?
