Irf530

DOes anyone know if there is an equivalent of one of these? Maplins and RS Components have both discontinued them.

It was to build this project http://www.cpemma.co.uk/flipflop.html

EDIT: no worries I found it lol!

I don't know of an exact equivalent, but in that circuit I think they chose the irf530 mainly because it is very cheap and has a low on resistance.

If you are going to buy from a Maplin shop, then they sell an irf730 for 99p or an irf830 for 74p which I think should work ok in that application.

If you are buying online, then rapid electronics (www.rapidonline.com) have the IRF530NPBF or irf510 very cheap (although delivery starts at £3.45 +vat unless you spend £25)
