Take a look at page 6 figure 12 of the data sheet.Assuming static operation, the current and voltage must be below the line DC.

If the opamp could provide a gate-to-source voltage of 6.5V would I be able to pull 12A?
I'm using fqp50n06l in my own load, but i've used the slightly modified circuit shown here : http://www.sleepyrobot.com/?p=136And it's not a transistor, it's an n-channel mosfet
oh okay, thanks. so do you know a transistor that could handle more current off the top of your head? (that could be used in the original circuit)the FQP30N06L seems like a good candidate, but I'm not sure.
