The STMicroelectronics STFI26N60M2 is a 600 V, 20 A N-channel power MOSFET from the MDmesh™ series, built on a planar technology that balances on-resistance and switching losses for hard-switching topologies.
Obsolete — sourcing reality and the replacement question
The STFI26N60M2 is listed as obsolete. That means STMicroelectronics has stopped production, and the only channel to source this part is the surplus / independent distribution market — new-old-stock or pulled inventory.
The TO-262-3 Full Pack (I2PAKFP, also called TO-281) is a through-hole package with a fully molded isolation layer — the metal tab is not electrically live, so no mica washer or sil-pad is needed when bolting to a heatsink. That saves a step in assembly and reduces thermal interface resistance, but the full-pack construction also limits power dissipation to 30 W at case temperature (Tc).
