600 V, 23.8 A N-channel — the CoolMOS P6 sweet spot for hard-switching
The IPW60R160P6FKSA1: Through-hole TO-247-3 package (PG-TO247-3).
At 25°C junction that translates to about 13 W conduction loss at 9 A — well within the 176 W power dissipation rating at the case. The actual junction temperature in a 50°C ambient with a reasonable heatsink stays under 125°C, leaving margin for the 150°C absolute maximum. It sets the driver's dynamic current demand during turn-on: at 100 kHz switching, the gate driver must supply roughly 4.4 mA average to charge and discharge Ciss each cycle.
The TO-247-3 through-hole package is widely stocked and does not require reflow profile qualification. No stock-holding claim is made; the supply posture is quoted per BOM quantity.
