Product details

The STP8N65M5: The 15 nC typical gate charge and 690 pF input capacitance are low enough that a standard gate driver IC can switch it without excessive drive current.

Obsolete — plan your BOM accordingly

STMicroelectronics lists the STP8N65M5 as obsolete. For a new design, you would not qualify this part — the official ST successor (if one exists) is not recorded in the available lifecycle data, so the practical path is to find a functionally equivalent N-channel MOSFET in the same 650 V, 7 A class with a TO-220 package.

Package and thermal — TO-220 through-hole

Housed in a standard TO-220-3 through-hole package, the STP8N65M5 mounts into a PCB or heatsink with a single screw hole. The maximum power dissipation is 70 W at case temperature, so a heatsink is expected for any continuous load above a few amps. The junction temperature rating of 150°C sets the thermal derating limit — keep the case temperature below that margin when sizing the heatsink.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy STP8N65M5?

The STP8N65M5 is obsolete from the factory, so it is sourced through the independent surplus and broker channel.

Is STP8N65M5 obsolete?

Yes, STMicroelectronics has marked the STP8N65M5 as obsolete. No further factory production is planned, so any procurement must go through the independent distribution channel.

What is the replacement for STP8N65M5?

For a functionally equivalent replacement, look for an N-channel MOSFET in the 650 V, 7 A class with a TO-220 package and an Rds(on) near 600 mOhm at 10 V gate drive. The pin-compatible footprint is standard TO-220-3, so many devices from Infineon, onsemi, or ST's own MDmesh series may fit — verify the gate charge and capacitance against your switching frequency before substituting.
