Active production — no LTB watch needed
The IPI072N10N3G carries an Active lifecycle status. There is no last-time-buy or end-of-life notice on this part. For a BOM line that needs a 100 V, 80 A through-hole MOSFET, this part can be specified into new designs without obsolescence risk.
TO-262-3 — through-hole for high-current layouts
The TO-262-3 (I²Pak) package has long leads and a tab that carries the drain. It mounts into a through-hole PCB footprint, which is preferred for high-current power stages where the tab is soldered to a copper island or bolted to a heatsink. The supplier device package is PG-TO262-3-1. The 150 W power dissipation rating at the case sets the thermal budget — a heatsink with adequate surface area and airflow is required to keep the junction below 175 °C at full load.
