The device is packaged in a TO-262 through-hole package (I²Pak) with long leads, intended for board-level mounting where a robust thermal connection to the PCB or heatsink is required.
This wide range suits applications exposed to severe thermal cycling, such as automotive under-hood or industrial motor drives, though the obsolete status means new designs should not rely on this specific part number.
Lifecycle status and what it means
The IRL2203NLPBF is listed as obsolete. Buyers should plan for last-time-buy or surplus-channel procurement.
The maximum gate charge is 60 nC at 4.5 V gate-source, which influences the switching speed and gate-driver sizing. Input capacitance is 3290 pF at 25 V drain-source, a parameter to consider when estimating switching losses in high-frequency converters.
