The STF7N52DK3 is an N-channel MOSFET in a TO-220-3 Full Pack package.
Obsolete — planning the BOM transition
ST has marked the STF7N52DK3 obsolete. For a board in production, the BOM line needs a pin-compatible swap or a redesign around a current-production part. The TO-220FP footprint is common, so a drop-in from another vendor is possible if the gate charge and Rds(on) align.
Gate charge and switching — what the 33 nC buys you
Total gate charge is 33 nC at 10 V. Input capacitance is 870 pF at 50 V drain-source.
Where the 525 V rating lands it
The 525 V Vdss suits offline applications. The 6 A continuous rating at 25 °C case derates with temperature.
