60 V, 80 A P-channel switch — the load-budget anchor
This combination puts it in the high-current P-channel tier—useful for load switches, battery protection, and motor-drive high-side applications where an N-channel would need a charge-pump gate driver.
Thermal headroom and junction rating
That 175°C max junction temperature is the ceiling for sustained operation in high-ambient enclosures—think industrial motor drives or power supplies where the heatsink is shared. The wide temperature floor also suits cold-start environments like outdoor telecom cabinets.
This is a moderate drive load for a P-channel of this current rating. A gate driver that can source and sink a few amperes peak will keep switching losses in check at frequencies up to several tens of kHz.
Through-hole package — PG-TO220-3-1
The part comes in a standard TO-220-3 through-hole package, Infineon's PG-TO220-3-1 variant. The through-hole format simplifies heatsinking with a single screw or clip, and it's straightforward to hand-assemble or rework. No special soldering profile needed; standard wave or hand-solder works.
It is ROHS3 compliant.
