Sleuthing a cooked MOSFET - anyone care to guess?
« on: September 27, 2019, 06:05:43 pm »
On the non-isolated side of a power supply - this part is cooked beyond recognition. It appears to be a MOSFET with pins 5-6-7-8 tied together and pin 4 (presumably the gate) has an isolation slot cutout.

I don't have the physical PCB in my hands yet, but I would expect this to be a fairly high voltage area. The unique-ish nature of a 7pin SOIC [pin 3 deleted] should narrow it down along with what appears to be a portion of a logo.

Any guesses, hypothesis, etc would be appreciated.

TOPSwitch.  Anyone's guess what amperage.

Impressive!

Looking like a TOP25xG after chasing down those tips. Not sure yet where to get them, but at least I know what I am looking for.
Thanks @T3sl4co1l and @blueskull

Not uncommon for SMPS controllers.
But SOIC ? Isn't it a DIP ?

I think you are correct - it indeed looks like a DIP package. Expecting to have the physical PCB in my hand on Monday and Mouser has the DIPs and SOIC's in stock so good either way.
