The Infineon IRF3205ZLPBF is a 55 V, 75 A N-channel HEXFET MOSFET in a through-hole TO-262 package, part of the established HEXFET series. This is the FET you reach for when the load is a motor, a battery charger, a DC-DC converter, or a power supply rail in the 12 V to 48 V range, where conduction losses matter and you have the gate-drive headroom for a 10 V rail.
6.5 mΩ Rds(on) — conduction loss and the 10 V gate-drive requirement
The 6.5 mΩ maximum on-resistance is specified at Id = 66 A and Vgs = 10 V. That 10 V drive voltage is the condition for the lowest Rds(on); below that the resistance climbs sharply.
Last Buy — sourcing and lifecycle reality
This means Infineon has announced the end of production and is accepting final orders within a defined last-time-buy window. After that date, the part will no longer be manufactured.
TO-262 package — footprint and thermal path
The TO-262 (I²Pak) package is a through-hole, long-lead variant of the D²Pak surface-mount outline. It is designed for direct solder attachment to a PCB with the tab forming the drain connection. The maximum power dissipation is 170 W at the case temperature, which means the thermal path from the tab to the heatsink or PCB copper plane is the limiting factor — not the silicon itself.
