60 V / 45 A / 9.4 mOhm — the switching cell that sets the power budget
The 47 nC gate charge and 3785 pF input capacitance at 25 V Vds tell the gate-drive circuit what it needs to deliver for a given switching frequency. This is a through-hole part in the TO-262-3 package (PG-TO262-3-1), suited for high-current switching in power supplies, motor drives, and DC-DC converters where board space is less constrained and thermal management relies on a heatsink or chassis mount.
175°C junction — where the part lives when the ambient climbs
That extra headroom matters in engine-bay electronics, industrial ovens, or any enclosure where ambient air hits 85°C or more and the power dissipation pushes junction temperature. The 71 W maximum power dissipation at case temperature is the package limit; real-world dissipation will be lower once the heatsink thermal resistance is factored in, but the 175°C rating means the part can sustain higher losses without derating prematurely.
