30 V N-channel in a SOT-223 — the load-switch workhorse
The STN4NF03L: It comes in a SOT-223 surface-mount package — the same footprint as a medium-power bipolar transistor, so it swaps into existing board layouts without a respin.
The minimum recommended drive voltage is 5 V.
The 3.3 W power dissipation at case temperature is the thermal budget — in a SOT-223 without a copper pour, you'll derate that to about 1.5 W in still air at 70°C ambient.
