On-resistance is 40 mOhm maximum at 15 A with 10 V gate drive. Paired with a gate charge of only 17 nC at 5 V, switching losses stay low even at moderate frequencies. Input capacitance is 660 pF at 25 V drain-source, which keeps the drive current requirement modest for the upstream PWM controller. The TO-220-3 through-hole package suits point-of-load switching, motor drives, and power supply primary-side switches where board-level heatsinking via a clip or discrete heatsink is standard practice. ## 40 mOhm Rds(on) — what it means for conduction loss At 15 A load current, the 40 mOhm maximum on-resistance produces 9 W of conduction loss (I²R). The 70 W package power dissipation limit at case temperature gives substantial headroom, but the junction-to-case thermal path means a heatsink is needed for sustained loads above a few amps. For a 10 A continuous load, expect roughly 4 W dissipation — manageable with a small clip-on heatsink in still air. For ongoing production builds, this part remains a safe BOM line without obsolescence-driven requalification cost.","metaTitle":"STP36NF06L N-Channel MOSFET, 60V 30A TO-220","metaDescription":"STMicroelectronics STP36NF06L N-channel MOSFET, 60V drain-source, 30A continuous, 40mOhm Rds(on) at 10V.

The STP36NF06L has a lower 30 A continuous rating and a logic-level gate. For loads under 30 A and where the gate drive is 5 V or less, the STP36NF06L is a functional replacement. At higher currents or with 10 V gate drive, the IRFZ44N's lower Rds(on) (17.5 mOhm typical) gives less conduction loss. Check the pinout — both are TO-220 with the same gate-drain-source pin arrangement."},{"question":"Is STP36NF06L suitable for switching power supplies?","answer":"Yes. The 60 V drain-source rating covers the primary-side switching of 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V input supplies with adequate derating. The 17 nC gate charge at 5 V and 660 pF input capacitance allow efficient switching at frequencies up to 100 kHz or higher with a modest gate driver. The logic-level threshold means a PWM controller with 5 V output can drive it directly."},{"question":"What are the typical applications for STP36NF06L?","answer":"This part is used in DC-DC converters, low-voltage motor drives, load switches, battery management systems, and power supply OR-ing circuits. The 175°C junction rating supports industrial and outdoor environments with high ambient temperatures."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/stmicroelectronics/STP36NF06L","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/stmicroelectronics/STP36NF06L when reusing this data.
