Product details

The Infineon SPW16N50C3 is a 500 V, 16 A N-channel CoolMOS power MOSFET in a TO-247-3 through-hole package.

Thermal and ruggedness envelope

The 160 W power dissipation at case temperature is a package-limited figure — the TO-247-3 can sink that with a proper heatsink and forced air, but the junction-to-case thermal path needs a good thermal interface. Input capacitance of 1600 pF at 25 V drain-source is typical for this class; it sets the switching loss at higher frequencies, so the designer should budget for it in the gate-drive loop.

Frequently asked questions

Is SPW16N50C3 obsolete?

There is no indication of discontinuation.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to SPW16N50C3?

Within the CoolMOS C3 family, other 500 V, TO-247-3 devices with similar current ratings are pin-compatible, but the exact Rds(on) and gate charge differ. No single official replacement is listed; verify the parametric match for your operating point.
