100 V, 23 A P-channel — the load-switching envelope
TO-262 through-hole — footprint and heatsink considerations
The IRF9540NL comes in a TO-262-3 (I²Pak) through-hole package, which is a lead-formed variant of the TO-220 family with long leads intended for vertical mounting or direct solder into a PCB. The supplier device package is TO-262. Unlike the more common TO-220, the TO-262's leads are straight and longer, which affects the mechanical fit in existing heatsink clips or pre-drilled mounting holes. If the board was laid out for a TO-220 footprint, the IRF9540NL's lead form may require a minor layout adjustment or a different clip.
