60 V, 58 A N-channel in a DPAK — the StrongIRFET™ workhorse
It comes in a DPAK (TO-252AA) surface-mount package — the tab is the drain, and the copper pad area under it sets the effective thermal resistance to the board.
Total gate charge is 66 nC at 10 V. The drive voltage range for achieving the rated Rds(on) is 6 V to 10 V; the 3.7 V gate threshold at 50 µA means the device is fully enhanced at 10 V but will start conducting well below that, so a pull-down resistor on the gate during power-up is recommended to prevent unintended turn-on.
Without that thermal pad connection, the effective power rating drops significantly.
