Product details

60 V, 20 A N-channel MOSFET in a TO-220 package

Input capacitance is 400 pF at 25 V drain-to-source, a moderate figure that does not demand an aggressive gate driver.

Power dissipation and thermal considerations

Maximum power dissipation is 60 W at the case, which requires a heatsink for continuous operation above a few watts. The junction-to-case thermal path is the limiting factor; in practice, derate the current based on the expected case temperature and the Rds(on) thermal coefficient.

Frequently asked questions

What is a suitable replacement for STP20NF06?

No official successor is listed by STMicroelectronics. For a pin-compatible alternative, look for a TO-220 N-channel MOSFET with a 60 V drain-to-source voltage, 20 A continuous drain current, and 70 mOhm or lower Rds(on) at 10 V gate drive. Parts like the STP20NF06FP or other STripFET™ II variants may be considered, but verify the gate threshold, package, and thermal ratings against your specific application.

Is STP20NF06 RoHS compliant?

The evidence does not explicitly state RoHS compliance. The part is listed as a standard MOSFET in a through-hole package; many STMicroelectronics parts of this era are RoHS-compliant, but confirm with the supplier at quote time.
