500 V CoolMOS in a TO-220 — what this part is for
The Infineon SPP12N50C3 is an N-channel power MOSFET from the CoolMOS™ series, rated for 500 V drain-source voltage and 11.6 A continuous drain current at 25°C case temperature. It comes in a through-hole TO-220-3 package (PG-TO220-3-1), the standard footprint for board-mounted power stages where a heatsink is expected. Typical applications include hard-switching and resonant topologies in offline switch-mode power supplies, power-factor correction (PFC) stages, and industrial power converters where 500 V blocking voltage and moderate conduction loss are the primary requirements.
380 mOhm Rds(on) and 49 nC gate charge — the switching trade-off
The on-resistance of 380 mOhm at 7 A and 10 V gate drive defines the conduction loss for a given load current.
Temperature range and environment
The junction temperature range spans -55°C to 150°C.
