Product details

The STMicroelectronics STP40NF03L is a 30 V, 40 A N-channel power MOSFET built on the STripFET™ process, in a through-hole TO-220 package. The 15 nC gate charge at 4.5 V means the driver doesn't need to source much current for fast transitions, which helps keep the gate-drive stage small.

That means ST has flagged this part for eventual end-of-life — no new production designs should use it, and existing BOMs need a qualified replacement identified before the last-time-buy window closes.

Temperature range and package — board-fit considerations

The TO-220 package with a through-hole mount is straightforward to heatsink; the 70 W power dissipation rating at the case assumes a proper thermal interface.

Frequently asked questions

Is the STP40NF03L obsolete?

ST is not actively promoting it for new designs, but it remains available through independent distribution for existing BOMs. Plan a replacement before a last-time-buy notice appears.

What is the STP40NF03L equivalent or replacement in TO-220?

The STripFET™ family includes several active parts that may fit, but verify the gate threshold and switching performance against your application.

What is the Rds(on) of the STP40NF03L?

At 4.5 V drive the on-resistance will be higher — the datasheet specifies drive voltage for max Rds(on) as 4.5 V and 10 V, so expect a trade-off if you are running from a 5 V logic rail.
