600 V / 10 A — the power-stage fit
Its 600 V drain-to-source breakdown voltage and 10 A continuous drain current rating make it suitable for offline power supplies, AC-DC converters, and motor drive circuits where the bus voltage can reach several hundred volts.
Switching losses — gate charge and capacitance budget
With a typical gate charge of 30.5 nC at 10 V and input capacitance of 960 pF at 50 V drain bias, this MOSFET demands a moderate gate drive. The 30.5 nC charge means a 1 A gate driver can switch it in about 30 ns, keeping crossover losses manageable in the 50-100 kHz range.
TO-220 — the through-hole workhorse
The metal tab provides a low thermal resistance path to a heatsink — essential for dissipating the 90 W maximum. The through-hole leads are easy to hand-solder or rework, but the package is larger than surface-mount alternatives like D2PAK, so board space is a consideration.
There is no direct pin-compatible replacement listed in the official documentation, so a redesign with a current-generation MDmesh™ or similar 600 V MOSFET may be the practical path for new designs.
