Switching and drive — where the 7 nC Qg matters
With a gate charge of 7 nC at 4.5 V, the IPP230N06L3GXKSA1 can be driven directly from a 4.5 V logic source without a dedicated gate-driver IC in low-frequency switching or linear applications.
Package and mounting — TO-220-3, through-hole
The PG-TO220-3 (standard TO-220-3) package is through-hole mounted, compatible with existing heatsink clips and PCB layouts for 60 V class MOSFETs. The metal tab is the drain; the gate and source pins are in the standard TO-220 arrangement. No special soldering profile needed — standard wave or hand-solder works. The bulk shipping form means it arrives in tubes or loose pieces, not tape-and-reel, so factor that into pick-and-place planning if you're using it in a high-volume assembly line.
Lifecycle and sourcing — active, no LTB pressure
ROHS3 compliant, no exemptions expiring. For BOM planning, this part is safe for new designs and production ramps. No second-source alternate is listed in the Infineon OptiMOS® 60 V family that is pin-for-pin identical, but the same TO-220 footprint accommodates many 60 V N-channel parts if a dual-source review is needed.
