600 V, 20 A FDmesh™ — what this N-channel MOSFET brings
The STF20NM60D is an N-Channel MOSFET in the TO-220 Full Pack (TO-220FP) through-hole package, which isolates the mounting tab from the die.
STMicroelectronics no longer manufactures this device in volume, and no last-time-buy window is open.
Gate charge and input capacitance — switching speed
Gate drive of 10 V achieves the rated on-resistance. Gate charge is 37 nC at 10 V.
Maximum power dissipation is 45 W at the case, but the TO-220FP's fully molded package has higher thermal resistance than a standard TO-220 with a metal tab — expect to derate the dissipation significantly if you cannot bolt the device to a large heatsink. In practice, the junction-to-case thermal path through the epoxy limits current handling in continuous conduction.
