Gate charge of 94 nC at 10 V means a moderate driver load; a standard 1 A gate driver will switch it in the tens of nanoseconds range.
TO-220FP — isolated tab saves assembly steps
The fully encapsulated TO-220FP package (ST's code for TO-220 Full Pack) has the metal tab completely covered in moulding compound. No insulating pad or shoulder washer is needed when mounting to a heatsink — the package itself provides isolation. The 40 W dissipation rating reflects that; expect a higher junction-to-case thermal rise than a non-isolated TO-220 at the same power level.
