650 V N-channel MOSFET in TO-220FP — SuperMESH3™
The STMicroelectronics STF10N65K3 is an N-channel power MOSFET from the SuperMESH3™ series, rated for 650 V drain-to-source voltage and 10 A continuous drain current at 25°C. It comes in a TO-220-3 Full Pack (TO-220FP) package, which provides electrical isolation between the tab and the heatsink — no insulating pad needed during assembly. The device targets high-voltage switching applications such as offline power supplies, adapters, and lighting ballasts where the 650 V breakdown margin handles rectified mains with headroom for transients.
With a maximum on-resistance of 1 Ohm at 3.6 A and 10 V gate drive, the STF10N65K3 sits in a moderate Rds(on) tier for a 650 V device. Conduction loss at full load will be noticeable — plan heatsinking accordingly, especially given the 35 W maximum power dissipation.
Temperature range and package — field-fit notes
The TO-220FP full-pack construction means the metal tab is electrically isolated — a practical advantage in high-voltage designs where a common heatsink is shared across multiple devices. No mica washer or sil-pad needed, which saves assembly time and improves thermal contact consistency.
