It switches 48 A continuous drain current at 25°C case temperature with a maximum drain-source voltage of 60 V and a typical on-resistance of 23 mOhm at 10 V gate drive. The TO-220AB through-hole package suits it for power conversion, motor control, and DC-DC converter stages where board-level thermal management via a heatsink is standard.
This means Infineon has flagged it for eventual discontinuation; new designs should avoid it unless the BOM is locked and the production window is short. Buyers should evaluate a pin-compatible replacement for long-term supply resilience — a part with the same TO-220AB footprint, same 60 V / 48 A ratings is a common cross-shop candidate, though its lifecycle status should be verified independently.
