The STW10N95K5 is a 950 V, 8 A N-channel MOSFET from ST's SuperMESH5™ series, housed in a TO-247-3 through-hole package. The 950 V drain-source rating gives 50 % headroom above a 600 VDC bus, enough to ride through 800 V surge events without avalanche stress.
Switching losses and gate drive budget
Gate charge is 22 nC at 10 V drive. Input capacitance is 630 pF at 100 V drain-source. Rds(on) is 800 mOhm maximum at 4 A, 10 V. At 25 °C junction that is 3.2 W conduction loss at 4 A — the TO-247 copper tab can sink that with a modest clip-on heatsink. Above 100 °C junction the on-resistance roughly doubles, so budget the thermal path for 6–7 W at full load.
