HEXFET N-channel for medium-power switching
The D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with exposed tab allows the 68 W power dissipation at case temperature to be sunk through the PCB copper plane.
Rds(on) and gate drive — what the numbers mean
The 4 V maximum gate threshold at 250 µA confirms the device needs a 10 V rail for fully enhanced conduction.
Without adequate copper, the 3.8 W ambient-air dissipation limit applies, which constrains continuous current to well below 29 A.
