60 V, 57 A N-channel power switch — TO-220-3 tab-mount
The IRFZ44VZPBF: It comes in a TO-220-3 through-hole package (TO-220AB) with the large copper tab that bolts to a heatsink or chassis for thermal management.
Gate charge and switching — driver budget
Total gate charge is 65 nC at 10 V. Input capacitance is 1690 pF at 25 V drain-source. Recommended drive voltage for lowest Rds(on) is 10 V. Maximum gate-source voltage is ±20 V.
Maximum junction temperature is 175°C.
NRND status — what it means for procurement
The IRFZ44VZPBF carries a Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND) lifecycle status. Existing BOM lines should be qualified against a pin-compatible replacement before the supply window closes.
