The IPA60R600C6XKSA1 is a 600 V N-channel CoolMOS MOSFET in a TO-220-3 Full Pack package.
NRND — plan your BOM transition now
New designs should avoid the IPA60R600C6XKSA1 and instead evaluate a current-production CoolMOS or other 600 V N-channel MOSFET in a TO-220 Full Pack. For existing BOM lines already qualified to this order code, the NRND status means you have a window to secure last-time-buy inventory or validate a drop-in replacement before the part phases out. Sourcing through independent distribution is the practical channel for bridging production runs during the transition.
Gate drive and switching — not a logic-level part
The drive voltage for rated on-resistance is 10 V. Maximum gate threshold is 3.5 V at 200 µA.
Package and thermal — the isolated TO-220 advantage
The PG-TO220-FP (Full Pack) package is a fully moulded through-hole case with no exposed metal tab. Maximum power dissipation is 28 W at case temperature Tc, which is lower than a standard TO-220 because the plastic body adds thermal resistance. The trade-off is that the device is electrically isolated — no insulating washer or pad is needed between the MOSFET and the heatsink, which saves assembly cost and reduces the risk of a short through the mounting hardware.
