600 V N-channel MOSFET for high-voltage switching
The TO-220 Full Pack (TO-220FP) package has an isolated tab, which simplifies heatsink mounting without an insulating pad but limits power dissipation to 40 W at case temperature — about half what a standard TO-220 with exposed tab can handle.
STMicroelectronics lists the STF25NM60N as obsolete.
Gate charge and switching considerations
The input capacitance measures 2400 pF at 50 V drain-source. A gate driver capable of sourcing and sinking a few hundred milliamps will switch the STF25NM60N cleanly in a hard-switched converter running at 50–100 kHz. The 4 V gate threshold at 250 µA means the device is fully enhanced with a standard 10 V gate drive; logic-level drive at 5 V is not recommended because the Rds(on) will be significantly higher than the 160 mOhm spec.
