Rds(on) and gate charge — the switching loss trade-off
The IPW60R045P7XKSA1: The 45 mOhm Rds(on) at 10 V determines conduction loss at the operating current. Paired with 90 nC Qg, this part suits a 650 V bus: low enough on-resistance to keep I²R loss under a few watts at 20 A, yet not so low that the gate charge forces a high-current driver.
Active production — no LTB risk for new designs
The IPW60R045P7XKSA1 carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is on record. For a BOM freeze or a new power-stage qualification, this part does not carry obsolescence risk.
Through-hole mounting — thermal and mechanical fit
The PG-TO247-3-41 package is a standard TO-247 with three leads and a mounting hole for a screw or clip to the heatsink. The 201 W maximum power dissipation at case temperature assumes a thermal interface with adequate clamping force and a flat heatsink surface.
