Through-hole N-channel for high-current automotive loads
The TO-220-3 through-hole package handles the 300 W power dissipation with an adequate heatsink, making this part a candidate for high-current switching in automotive power distribution, DC-DC converters, and motor-drive pre-drive stages.
At 100 A, conduction loss is 51 W (I² × R) at the worst-case Rds(on); the actual die temperature rise will increase Rds(on) above the 25°C value per the normalised curve in the datasheet, so the thermal budget must be calculated at the operating junction temperature.
