Gate charge and switching — the 20 nC number matters for the driver budget
The 800 pF input capacitance at Vds = 100 V confirms the Miller plateau is manageable for a 600 V device in a hard-switched topology.
Package and mounting — TO-220 through-hole, no MSL concern
The through-hole lead form allows manual or wave soldering without moisture sensitivity level (MSL) classification — no bake-out required before assembly. The tab is the drain; the source and gate pins follow the standard TO-220 pinout.
ST lists the STP18N60DM2 as Active (current production). ROHS3 compliant — no exemption expiry concern for lead-free assembly.
