700 mOhm Rds(on) and 47 nC gate charge — switching loss budgeting
At 4.6 A the voltage drop across the channel is about 3.2 V, so the 32 W package power limit is the real constraint in continuous operation — derating for case temperature is mandatory above 25°C.
Obsolete — official status and sourcing reality
Infineon no longer manufactures this specific order code. For existing BOM lines, procurement must source from independent distribution or the surplus market. Any stock offered should be physically authenticated — the TO-220 Full Pack body marking, laser etch consistency, and lot date-code traceability are the first checks.
