Full-pack TO-220FP — isolated tab, no washer needed
The TO-220FP full-pack package (supplier device code TO-220FP) has an isolated back tab, so the heatsink interface does not require an insulating pad or mica washer. This simplifies mechanical assembly and reduces thermal resistance between the junction and the heatsink, but the package limits maximum power dissipation to 30 W at case temperature — about half what a standard TO-220 with a conductive tab can handle.
STMicroelectronics lists the STF30N65M5 as Obsolete. For new designs, a pin-compatible alternative from the same MDmesh V family should be evaluated — the 650 V, 22 A, TO-220FP footprint is common across several ST part numbers.
