The STP4NB100 is a 1000 V N-channel PowerMESH MOSFET from STMicroelectronics in a through-hole TO-220-3 package. Its 1000 V drain-source voltage rating targets offline flyback converters, power-factor-correction stages, and high-voltage DC-DC supplies where the primary-side switch sees rectified mains.
Gate drive and switching considerations
For a 100 kHz flyback, that is about 45 mW — manageable with a standard gate-drive IC.
STMicroelectronics lists the STP4NB100 as Obsolete. For production or repair programs that require this exact part, the supply channel is independent distribution — last-time-buy inventory and surplus stock. If a form-fit-function replacement is acceptable, a parametric search for 1000 V N-channel MOSFETs in TO-220 with similar Rds(on) and gate charge will identify candidates — but no pin-compatible drop-in is documented here.
