600 V, 34 A N-channel in a TO-220FP — what the bench tells you
The STFH40N60M2 is an STMicroelectronics N-channel power MOSFET from the MDmesh™ M2 series, built for high-voltage switching in a through-hole TO-220-3 Full Pack package.
88 mΩ Rds(on) — where the heat goes
In a TO-220FP (full-pack, isolated tab), the 40 W maximum power dissipation (Tc) means the plastic case limits heat extraction compared to a standard TO-220 with a metal tab. For a 34 A continuous rating, expect significant derating above 25°C case temperature — the junction-to-case thermal path is the constraint.
