Gate charge and switching-loss budget
The STD13NM60ND: These numbers let the designer estimate the gate-drive current needed for a target switching frequency — at 100 kHz, the average gate-drive current is 2.45 mA, well within a standard driver's capability.
Package, mounting, and thermal reality
The DPAK (TO-252) footprint is a standard surface-mount power package. Maximum junction temperature is 150 °C. The 150 °C rating is the absolute limit; a derated design targeting 125 °C junction leaves headroom for transient overloads and extends reliability.
Active lifecycle and compliance
STMicroelectronics lists the STD13NM60ND as an active product — no NRND or EOL notice. It is ROHS3 compliant, suitable for EU and global BOMs without RoHS exemption tracking. The device is available in Tape & Reel and Cut Tape options for volume or prototype quantities.
