Gate charge of 60 nC at 10 V and input capacitance of 1360 pF at 25 V define the switching speed and gate-driver power budget — a 10 V drive voltage is required to achieve the rated Rds(on).
Infineon lists the IRFZ44ESTRR as Obsolete. For BOM lines still specifying this part, procurement must rely on independent-distribution surplus stock or last-time-buy inventory. If a pin-compatible second source is needed, the closest functional match within the same 60 V / 48 A / D2PAK class would be a current-production N-channel MOSFET with similar Rds(on) and gate charge; cross-reference databases should be consulted for exact footprint compatibility.
