The SPI11N60C3XKSA1: Gate charge is 60 nC at 10 V, and input capacitance is 1200 pF at 25 V drain-source — both numbers the gate-driver selection and switching-loss estimate depend on. The 125 W power dissipation ceiling at case temperature tells you the thermal management required: a decent heatsink or forced air if you plan to run near the current limit continuously.
Through-hole TO-262 — mounting and thermal path
The SPI11N60C3XKSA1 comes in the PG-TO262-3-1 package, which is the standard TO-262 (I²Pak) with long leads for through-hole mounting. This is the same footprint as the TO-220 but with the tab isolated — no mica washer needed if the heatsink is grounded.
