100 V N-channel in the TO-220FP — what the specs mean for the BOM
The STMicroelectronics STF110N10F7 is a 100 V N-channel power MOSFET from the DeepGATE™ and STripFET™ VII generation, built for switching applications that need low conduction loss and a fully isolated package. The TO-220FP full-pack variant means the back of the tab is electrically isolated — no insulating pad or washer needed against the heatsink, which simplifies assembly in metal-enclosure equipment.
Obsolete — the sourcing reality
Gate drive and switching considerations
That means a standard 12 V gate drive from a PWM controller or a dedicated gate driver IC will fully enhance the channel.
