What this 30V N-channel MOSFET does in a switching circuit
The STMicroelectronics STD35N3LH5 is a 30 V, 35 A N-channel power MOSFET built on the STripFET™ V process technology. The 6 nC gate charge at 4.5 V means a simple 5 V logic gate or a low-cost gate driver IC can switch it fast without a separate gate-drive boost stage.
The 16 mOhm Rds(on) is specified at 15 A with 10 V on the gate. That is the fully-enhanced condition. The 6 nC total gate charge is low enough that a microcontroller GPIO with a series resistor can switch it at a few hundred kHz, but for higher frequencies a dedicated driver cleans up the switching edges.
Package and thermal reality in a DPAK
That 35 A continuous drain rating is achievable only with the tab soldered to a substantial copper pour on the PCB — without good thermal management the junction temperature will exceed the 175°C absolute maximum under sustained load.
STMicroelectronics no longer manufactures this specific order code.
