At full rated current, expect roughly I²R loss of 34² × 0.088 ≈ 102 W — that number lands squarely inside the 250 W maximum power dissipation, but only with a heatsink that keeps the case temperature under control. Input capacitance of 2500 pF at 100 V drain-source is typical for this die size. It influences the gate-drive power requirement and the turn-on delay — factor it into the driver's peak current and the gate-loop inductance budget.
The wide range also gives headroom for transient overloads without immediate derating.
The exposed metal tab is the drain — ensure electrical isolation from the heatsink unless the system topology allows a shared drain potential. The TO-220 form factor is a mature, widely socketed footprint for single-ended power stages.
