500 V, 15 A N-channel — what the TO-220FP body means on the board
The STF16NM50N is an N-channel MDmesh™ II MOSFET in a TO-220FP full-pack package, rated at 500 V drain-source and 15 A continuous drain.
Rds(on), gate charge, and the switching-loss trade-off
Maximum on-resistance is 260 mOhm at 7.5 A with 10 V gate drive.
Obsolete — sourcing reality and the search for a drop-in
STMicroelectronics lists the STF16NM50N as Obsolete. The STF16NM60N shares the same package and series but carries a 600 V rating — the higher Vdss may shift Rds(on) and gate charge, so check the parametric table before substituting.
