The IRF540ZSTRL is an Infineon HEXFET® N-channel power MOSFET in a surface-mount D2PAK (TO-263) package.
Obsolete — sourcing the IRF540ZSTRL today
The IRF540ZSTRL is marked obsolete by the manufacturer. If the design can accommodate a pin-compatible drop-in, the IRF540Z (non-Z, non-STRL suffix) is a common cross-shop candidate, though the buyer should verify the parametric differences against their operating point.
The D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package has a large exposed tab that carries the drain current and serves as the primary thermal path. Maximum power dissipation is 92 W at case temperature, so the PCB copper area and thermal vias under the tab must be sized for the expected conduction losses.
