Coil MosFET ratings and substitutes
IRL530 (NTE2987) and 12N10L are the same part: 100 V, 12 A. 20N10L replaces either but not the other way round; it is discontinued, succeeded by the 22NE10L (22 A). IRL540 is 100 V, 36 A and can stand in for the 20N10L or 22NE10L. Strobes use the P-channel 12P06, IRF9530 or NTE2383.
