30V, 40A N-channel in DPAK — what you need to know
The STMicroelectronics STD50N03L is a 30V, 40A N-channel power MOSFET from the STripFET™ III series, housed in a surface-mount DPAK (TO-252-3) package. Its key parametric is a maximum on-resistance of 10.5 mOhm at 20A drain current with a 10V gate drive, which keeps conduction losses low in switching applications like DC-DC converters, load switches, and motor drive bridges.
The STD50N03L is listed as obsolete per the manufacturer's product status.
Drive voltage range is 5V to 10V.
Temperature range and package — deployment context
In practice, continuous operation near 175°C requires careful derating of the 40A current rating — the 40A figure is at 25°C case temperature, and the current must be reduced at higher temperatures per the datasheet's thermal derating curve.
