The 4 mOhm maximum on-resistance at Vgs = 10 V and Id = 25 A is the headline figure for conduction loss. The 203 W power dissipation rating (at Ta) and the TO-220AB package with a proper heatsink give headroom for pulsed or moderately continuous high-current operation.
Gate drive and switching considerations
Automotive-grade reliability
The 175 °C maximum junction temperature allows operation in engine-bay ambient temperatures that would derate a commercial-grade MOSFET. For designs targeting under-hood or chassis-domain applications, this qualification is a prerequisite.
The part is listed as Active in the product lifecycle.
