600 V, 17 A N-channel — MDmesh II in a TO-220
The STP24NM60N: The TO-220-3 through-hole package suits offline power supplies, PFC stages, motor drives, and lighting ballasts.
At 17 A the Rds(on) will be higher (the curve is not flat), so budget derating for the actual operating current. Gate charge is 46 nC at 10 V — modest enough that a standard half-bridge driver can switch it without excessive cross-conduction loss.
The 125 W power dissipation at case temperature gives a rough thermal budget — with a TO-220 bolted to a heatsink, you can push continuous power before junction hits 125°C in a 50°C ambient.
Active lifecycle — still a current production part
For a field-service kit, this is a part you can stock with confidence — it will be around for the next few years.
