Its 600 V drain-source rating (Vdss) covers the 400 V DC bus in power-factor-correction stages and flyback converters, with margin for transient spikes. Gate charge is 8 nC at 10 V, a low figure that keeps switching losses modest in hard-switched topologies running at 100 kHz or higher. Input capacitance is 232 pF at 100 V drain bias, which simplifies the drive circuit — a standard gate-driver IC can push the gate without a pre-driver stage.
Package and temperature grade — through-hole, wide range
Housed in a TO-220-3 through-hole package, the STP6N60M2 suits designs where the heatsink mounts to the board or chassis — the metal tab is the drain.
