Active lifecycle — no LTB risk for production builds
The SPP24N60CFD carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. There is no last-time-buy notice or end-of-life signal on this part, so it can be specified into new designs and production BOMs without near-term obsolescence risk. The CoolMOS series is an established Infineon platform with broad distribution support, which helps with multi-source availability through independent channels.
Mounting and thermal — TO-220 in a power stage
The TO-220-3 package (PG-TO220-3-1) is a through-hole part intended for mounting on a heatsink — the 240 W dissipation rating assumes the case is held at 25°C, which is only possible with a substantial heatsink and forced airflow. In a typical 600 V, 10 A flyback or PFC stage, expect to bolt this to a TO-220 clip or screw-mount heatsink with thermal compound. The gate threshold is 5 V max at 1.2 mA, so a 10 V gate drive is needed to achieve the rated Rds(on); a 5 V logic-level drive will not fully enhance the channel.
