STMicroelectronics no longer manufactures this part in volume. For sustainment of existing designs, the remaining channel is surplus and broker inventory. Any new design-in should target a current-production MDmesh™ or equivalent 500 V N-channel MOSFET in DPAK. The 500 V, 12 A, 320 mOhm rating bracket is well-served by several active alternatives, though pin-compatibility and gate-drive requirements must be verified per the target datasheet.
The 500 V drain-source voltage sets the part for offline flyback, forward, and PFC stages operating from rectified 230 VAC or universal input.
