7 mOhm at 10 V — the conduction loss floor
That on-resistance sets the conduction loss in a 12 V or 24 V power path — at 40 A the dissipation is 11.2 W, well within the 115 W package limit when the TO-220 tab is properly heatsunk.
Gate charge and switching speed
Total gate charge is 25 nC at 10 V, which keeps the gate-drive energy per cycle low enough that a standard driver IC can switch this FET at tens of kilohertz without a heatsink on the driver. Input capacitance is 1800 pF at 20 V Vds — the Miller plateau is short, so the switching losses stay modest in hard-switched topologies like synchronous buck converters or motor H-bridges.
Current rating and thermal headroom
Continuous drain current is rated 53 A at 25 °C ambient (Ta) and 100 A at 25 °C case (Tc). The 100 A figure assumes the case is held at 25 °C — in practice the tab must be bolted to a heatsink with thermal compound.
It is ROHS3 compliant.
