The STP130N8F7: It dissipates up to 205 W (Tc). The 4.5 V gate-drive threshold means a 5 V logic-level signal can turn it on hard, though the 10 V drive spec delivers the lowest Rds(on). Packaged in a TO-220-3 through-hole case, it bolts to a heatsink for thermal management in high-current switching applications like DC-DC converters, motor drives, and power supplies.
Obsolete — sourcing reality and the replacement question

Through-hole package — thermal and assembly notes
The TO-220-3 package (supplier device package TO-220) is a through-hole, three-lead form factor with a metal tab for heatsink mounting. The 205 W dissipation rating assumes proper heatsinking — without it, the junction temperature limits the usable continuous current well below the 80 A headline figure. For the rework bench, the through-hole leads are straightforward to solder and desolder; the metal tab is electrically common with the drain, so an insulating pad and thermal grease are needed if the heatsink is grounded.
