60 V, 195 A — the high-current workhorse in TO-220
It comes in a through-hole TO-220AB package, which means the tab is the drain and the leads are gate and source — standard pinout for this footprint. Paired with a 411 nC typical gate charge, the driver must supply enough peak current to switch the 13 703 pF input capacitance without excessive crossover loss.
Maximum gate threshold is 3.7 V at 250 µA drain current. The drive voltage range for achieving the rated Rds(on) is 6 V to 10 V, with the 2 mOhm figure specified at 10 V. A 12 V gate drive rail is common; the absolute maximum gate-to-source voltage is ±20 V, so a 12 V rail leaves margin. Junction temperature range is -55 °C to 175 °C — the 175 °C ceiling suits motor-drive and power-conversion stages where the die runs hot under continuous load. The 375 W power dissipation at case temperature is a theoretical maximum; real-world derating depends on the heatsink and airflow.
