The Infineon IPA80R1K4CEXKSA1 is an 800 V N-channel MOSFET from the CoolMOS™ CE series, built for high-voltage offline power conversion. Its 800 V drain-source rating (Vdss) gives the headroom needed in universal-input flyback converters, PFC boost stages, and auxiliary power supplies where the DC bus can exceed 400 V and transients push higher. The PG-TO220-FP full-pack package means the back of the part is fully molded — no exposed metal tab. That saves an insulating washer and simplifies assembly, but the thermal path runs through the epoxy, so the 31 W maximum power dissipation is lower than a standard TO-220 with the same die.
Sizing the gate drive and switching losses
The 10 V drive voltage (Vgs) is the recommended level to achieve the rated Rds(on); driving with 12 V is fine within the ±20 V Vgs max.
Through-hole assembly and rework
The TO-220 Full Pack is a three-lead through-hole package. It solders into a board with standard wave or hand-soldering; the full-mold body means no metal tab to solder to a copper pour. Rework is straightforward — heat all three leads simultaneously with a wide tip or hot air, lift the part without lifting the pad.
