The 640 V Vdss gives solid headroom for 240 V AC or 400 V DC rails, even with switching transients. The 1.05 Ohm Rds(on) at 10 V gate drive is the figure to use for conduction loss calculations — at 5 A that's about 26 W, which the 60 W package rating can handle with a good thermal pad and airflow.
Lifecycle status — obsolete, but available
For new designs, look at ST's current MDmesh series in the same voltage and current class.
