100 V, 42 A — the TO-220 workhorse for medium-power switching
The IRF1310NPBF: Vgs(th) is 4 V max at 250 µA; gate drive of 10 V achieves the lowest Rds(on). The 110 nC total gate charge at 10 V sets the switching drive budget.
175°C junction — headroom for high-ambient or high-duty designs
Operating junction temperature range is -55°C to 175°C. Maximum power dissipation is 160 W. The 1900 pF input capacitance at 25 V Vds is moderate — the gate drive sees a manageable capacitive load, so the turn-on and turn-off edges stay clean without excessive ringing when the PCB layout keeps the gate loop tight.
Active lifecycle, through-hole package — stable for production BOMs
ROHS3 compliant. The TO-220-3 through-hole package is widely stocked across distribution channels and remains a preferred form factor for power stages where a bolt-down heatsink or TO-220 clip is part of the thermal design.
