Device identity and key parametrics
The SPA08N50C3 is an N-channel power MOSFET from Infineon's CoolMOS™ series, built on a charge-compensation technology that reduces on-resistance per silicon area. Maximum on-resistance is 600 mOhm at a gate drive of 10 V and 4.6 A drain current. The threshold voltage is specified at 3.9 V maximum with a drain current of 350 µA, and the gate is rated to ±20 V. Maximum power dissipation is 32 W at the case temperature.
Package, mounting, and temperature range
Housed in a TO-220-3 Full Pack (PG-TO220-3-111) through-hole package, the device has a fully isolated backside — no heatsink pad is electrically live, which simplifies mounting to a grounded chassis or shared heatsink without an insulating washer. The junction temperature range is -55 °C to 150 °C. The Full Pack variant trades slightly higher thermal resistance for electrical isolation.
