The 950 V Vdss is the standout spec — it gives you nearly 200 V of headroom above a typical 800 V bus, which matters in offline converters where ringing on the drain can exceed the nominal rail. The 9 A continuous current is rated at case temperature 25°C; you'll need to derate based on your actual case temperature and the 25 W power dissipation limit. Gate charge is 13 nC at 10 V, which is modest — a small driver or even a logic-level gate drive IC can switch it without excessive drive losses. Input capacitance is 450 pF at 100 V, so the switching speed is manageable for frequencies up to around 100 kHz in hard-switched topologies.
Package and mounting: TO-220FP
That saves assembly time and reduces thermal resistance slightly compared to adding an insulator. The through-hole leads suit boards where vibration or thermal cycling is a concern. Maximum junction temperature is 150°C, and the operating temperature range covers -55°C to 150°C, so it handles industrial and outdoor environments without issue.
