500 V, 8.5 A N-channel in a TO-220 — what it does
STP11NM50N is an N-channel MOSFET in a through-hole TO-220-3 package. With a total gate charge of 19 nC at 10 V, the gate-drive power requirement stays low — a small driver IC can switch this FET at moderate frequencies without excessive drive losses.
That means STMicroelectronics has ended production and there is no official last-time-buy window still open.
The 470 mOhm Rds(on) at 4.5 A and 10 V is the on-resistance at the specified test conditions.
