Gate charge is 83 nC at 10 V, so the driver needs to source and sink that charge for each switching cycle — budget gate drive current accordingly for the target frequency.
TO-220 — field-swappable with a heatsink
The TO-220-3 through-hole package is a standard for power devices. It mounts into a PCB or onto a heatsink with a single screw. The tab is the drain, so insulating hardware is needed if the heatsink is grounded. Maximum power dissipation is 140 W at case temperature — that figure assumes an infinite heatsink, so real-world dissipation depends on the thermal interface and airflow.
Temperature range and handling
The gate-source voltage is limited to ±20 V absolute maximum.
