Product details

600 V CoolMOS in a full-pack TO-220

Gate charge and switching

Total gate charge is 114 nC at 10 V, with an input capacitance of 2400 pF at 25 V drain-source. That gate charge figure is moderate for a 600 V, 20 A class device — a standard gate-driver IC or a transformer-coupled drive handles it without heroic measures.

Maximum power dissipation is 34.5 W at case temperature — the full-pack package's thermal resistance is higher than a standard TO-220, but the isolated tab simplifies the mechanical design enough that it often wins on total system cost.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between SPA20N60C3 and SPW20N60C3?

The SPA20N60C3 uses the TO-220 Full Pack (isolated tab) package, while the SPW20N60C3 is in a standard TO-247 package. The electrical specifications — 600 V Vdss, 20.7 A Id, 190 mOhm Rds(on) — are the same. The package choice determines heatsink mounting: the full pack needs no insulating washer, the TO-247 does.

Can I use SPA20N60C3 as a replacement for IRFP460?

The IRFP460 is a 500 V, 20 A MOSFET in a TO-247 package. The SPA20N60C3 has a higher 600 V drain-source rating and a lower 190 mOhm Rds(on) versus the IRFP460's 270 mOhm typical. However, the SPA20N60C3 is in a TO-220 Full Pack, not TO-247 — the footprint and mounting are different. Electrically it is a capable upgrade, but the board layout must accommodate the smaller, isolated package.
