600 V N-channel in TO-220 — MDmesh II generation
The 745 mOhm maximum on-resistance at 3.25 A with 10 V gate drive places it in the mid-Rds(on) tier for this voltage class — a reasonable fit for offline flyback primary switches, PFC boost stages, and auxiliary power supplies where the DC bus sits at 400 V and needs derating headroom. The TO-220-3 through-hole package allows direct heatsink mounting with the tab soldered to a copper island or bolted to a chassis.
Total gate charge is 17.4 nC at 10 V, and input capacitance measures 452 pF at 50 V drain-source. These numbers indicate a moderate switching speed — the gate driver sees a manageable capacitive load, so a standard bootstrap or transformer-coupled gate drive circuit works without special high-current buffers. The 4 V threshold at 250 µA drain current means logic-level drive at 5 V may be marginal; 10 V drive is specified for the rated Rds(on) and is the safe choice for full enhancement.
NRND — plan for a replacement
This is not an immediate EOL, but the part is no longer the recommended choice for new projects. Production continues for existing designs, but future availability will tighten. For new BOMs, evaluate a pin-compatible MDmesh II or MDmesh V alternative in the same TO-220 footprint. The 600 V, 6.5 A, 745 mOhm operating point guides the selection — a lower Rds(on) part at similar voltage and current rating will drop in with a gate drive adjustment.
