600 V, 20 A — the conduction-loss ceiling for a high-voltage SMPS
The 163 mOhm maximum on-resistance at 10 A gate drive sets the conduction loss floor for a 600 V-class device in a TO-220 through-hole package.
STMicroelectronics lists the STP27N60M2-EP as Obsolete.
The TO-220-3 through-hole package with a metal tab requires a heatsink for continuous operation above a few watts — the 170 W maximum power dissipation assumes the case is held at 25 °C.
