Gate charge is 117 nC at 10 V, which means a standard 1-2 A gate driver can switch this FET at 50-100 kHz without excessive gate-drive losses. The 8410 pF input capacitance at 50 V drain-source also influences the switching speed and driver sizing.
Package and mounting — TO-262-3 through-hole
Housed in a TO-262-3 long-lead I²Pak (PG-TO262-3) through-hole package, the part mounts directly to the PCB with the tab available for heatsink attachment. The long leads suit board thicknesses up to about 2.4 mm and allow the tab to sit above the solder joints for thermal management. Operating junction temperature spans -55°C to 175°C, giving margin in high-ambient environments like motor drives, power supplies, and automotive under-hood compartments where the junction can exceed 150°C under load.
