Gate drive and switching parasitics
Input capacitance Ciss measures 450 pF at 50 V drain-source. The ±30 V maximum gate-source rating provides margin against gate-drive overshoot.
Thermal budget in a TO-220
Maximum power dissipation is 70 W at case temperature Tc=25 °C, derated to zero at 150 °C junction limit. The TO-220 package with a tab soldered to a heatsink or clamped to a chassis can handle the thermal load of a 60 W flyback stage — the junction-to-case thermal path is the limiting factor, not the silicon.
For BOM lines that still call out this order code, the supply path is through independent distribution and surplus inventory.
