At lower gate voltages the on-resistance rises significantly — the 5 V threshold maximum means you need the full 10 V drive to guarantee the rated Rds(on). Input capacitance of 866 pF at 100 V Vds confirms the switching node capacitance is manageable for a standard gate-driver IC.
For a BOM planner, this removes the risk of a sudden obsolescence-driven redesign during the product's expected production run.
Package and thermal handling — TO-220-3
The TO-220-3 through-hole package is a standard vertical-mount power package. Maximum power dissipation is 170 W at case temperature, which assumes a proper heatsink with thermal interface material. For a rework or repair scenario, the through-hole leads are straightforward to solder and desolder with a standard iron or hot-air station.
