Sourcing is limited to the independent distribution channel — inventory that was produced before the EOL date and held in surplus stock.
600 V, 13.5 A, 500 mOhm — the switching MOSFET that defined a slot
These parameters position it for 400-500 W offline flyback converters, PFC stages, and mid-power DC-DC converters where a through-hole TO-220 package is acceptable. The maximum power dissipation is 160 W at case temperature, though practical dissipation depends heavily on heatsinking and airflow.
TO-220 package — mounting and thermal interface
The mounting type is through hole, intended for PCB mounting with the tab either soldered to a copper pad or bolted to an external heatsink.
