The 55 V drain-to-source rating sets the maximum bus voltage this FET can block; in a 48 V nominal system with transients, you need derating headroom. Gate charge of 150 nC at 10 V tells you the driver must supply that charge per switching cycle — a 1 A gate driver charges the gate in about 150 ns, but the 3700 pF input capacitance also affects switching speed and drive losses.
Lifecycle reality — obsolete and sourcing
For new designs, a pin-compatible replacement should be identified.
