10 mOhm at 46 A — the switching-loss anchor
The IRL3705NPBF: The 98 nC gate charge at 5 V sets the switching-loss budget.
Gate threshold and drive-voltage window
The gate threshold voltage is 2 V max at 250 µA drain current, with the drive voltage for best Rds(on) specified at 4 V and 10 V.
175 °C junction — military-grade thermal headroom
The 170 W power dissipation at case temperature is the thermal limit under continuous operation — the actual safe dissipation depends on the heatsink and the RthJC of the TO-220AB package.
Input capacitance and switching speed
The input capacitance Ciss is 3600 pF typical at 25 V drain-source.
Sourcing and lifecycle posture
The ROHS3 compliance is confirmed. The TO-220AB package is widely stocked across the spot market, but the date-code traceability and laser-etch consistency should be verified on any gray-market lot — the HEXFET series is a common target for re-marked stock.
