600 V, 11 A N-channel — MDmesh™ II for hard-switching converters
The STMicroelectronics STP13NM60N is a 600 V, 11 A N-channel power MOSFET built on the MDmesh™ II technology platform. It is designed for high-voltage switching applications such as power-factor-correction (PFC) boost stages, offline flyback and forward converters, and motor-drive inverters where low conduction and switching losses matter.
That translates to roughly 11 W conduction loss at full rated current — within the 90 W package dissipation limit but requiring a decent heatsink or forced airflow for continuous operation. The 30 nC total gate charge is modest for a 600 V device, so the gate-drive power penalty stays low even at 100 kHz switching.
The TO-220 package with through-hole mounting simplifies heatsink attachment and field replacement in chassis-mount assemblies.
Lifecycle — still an active production part
For new designs it remains a valid choice, and for existing BOM lines there is no urgency to qualify a substitute. The MDmesh™ II family has broad distribution coverage, so replenishment through independent channels is straightforward.
