18 mOhm at 10 V — conduction loss anchor
The IPA180N10N3G: Its on-resistance of 18 mOhm at 10 V gate drive sets the conduction loss floor for the design — at 28 A the I²R loss is roughly 14 W, which the 30 W power dissipation rating must absorb through the TO-220 Full Pack tab to a heatsink.
Through-hole TO-220 Full Pack — isolated tab, no extra insulator
The through-hole leads suit wave-solder assembly and hand-prototyping. The mounting hole pattern matches standard TO-220 clip or screw retention.
Gate charge and input capacitance — switching speed budget
The 6 V / 10 V drive voltage window means the device reaches its minimum Rds(on) at 10 V but can be driven from a 6 V rail with a small on-resistance penalty.
Active production — no last-time-buy risk
Infineon lists the IPA180N10N3G as Active.
