600 V, 10 A, 450 mΩ — the switching MOSFET for offline power
The STP11NM60ND: Through-hole TO-220-3 package suits point-to-point wiring or heatsink mounting on a chassis tab.
The 450 mΩ Rds(on) at 10 V gate drive sets the conduction loss at full load: at 5 A, expect about 11.25 W dissipation in the channel alone. That number drives the heatsink selection — the 90 W package limit at case temperature is generous, but junction-to-case thermal resistance means a real heatsink is needed above a few watts. At higher frequencies, the gate drive current budget should be checked against the driver's peak source/sink capability.
The FDmesh™ II family has been a stable ST portfolio for years, and the base product number STP11 suggests a long production tail.
