150V, 43A N-channel — what the ratings tell you
Pair it with a driver rated for at least 2 A peak output.
Gate drive and switching — sizing the driver
Input capacitance Ciss is 2400 pF typical at 25 V drain-source — a moderate value that does not force a pre-driver stage but does demand a low-impedance gate loop. Keep the gate-driver output to the gate pin under 2 cm of PCB trace to minimise ringing at the Miller plateau.
Thermal and temperature range — harsh-environment ready
Maximum power dissipation is 200 W at case temperature 25°C — derate aggressively above 100°C case; the TO-220AB package with a proper heatsink is mandatory for any continuous current above 20 A.
