60V, 45A N-channel in a rework-friendly D2Pak
The IPB45N06S4L08ATMA3 is an Infineon OptiMOS-T2 N-channel MOSFET rated for 60 V drain-source and 45 A continuous drain at 25°C case temperature. It comes in a TO-263-3 (D2Pak) surface-mount package — the large copper tab makes it one of the more forgiving power packages under a hot-air station, as long as you preheat the board to keep the tab from wicking heat away too fast.
That figure is specified at 25°C junction; expect it to rise by roughly 50% at 125°C, so budget the conduction loss with the hot value in mind. Total gate charge is 64 nC at 10 V. For a 100 kHz switching frequency, the average gate-drive current works out to about 6.4 mA — well within the capability of a standard gate driver IC. The input capacitance is 4780 pF at 25 V drain-source, which sets the switching energy and the driver's peak current requirement.
The part is ROHS3 compliant, which simplifies compliance for EU and other regulated markets.
Temperature range and package reality
The 175°C TJ max gives headroom for transient overloads. The PG-TO263-3-2 package (D2Pak) has three leads plus the tab. A 2 oz copper pour of at least 6 cm² is a reasonable starting point for continuous operation near the rating.
