Through-hole power MOSFET for field and bench
The STP160N3LL: The TO-220-3 through-hole package means you can swap it on site with a screwdriver and a socket — no hot-air station, no lab bench.
What the gate charge and capacitance mean for your driver
Gate charge is 42 nC max at 4.5 V, and input capacitance is 3500 pF at 25 V drain. A 4.5 V logic-level gate drive is enough to turn it on hard — the Rds(on) is specified at both 4.5 V and 10 V. The ±20 V gate-source max gives headroom if your gate drive rings on the turn-on edge.
Maximum power dissipation is 136 W at case temperature.
It is ROHS3 compliant. The base product number is STP160, which covers the TO-220 variant; surface-mount siblings in the same STripFET H6 family share the same die but different packages.
