The SIHA24N65EF-GE3: Gate charge is 122 nC at 10 V, and input capacitance is 2774 pF at 100 V drain-source — these numbers drive the gate-driver sizing and switching loss. A driver sourcing 1 A can charge the gate in about 122 ns, but the Miller plateau adds to the actual switching time; budget the driver's peak current accordingly.
Package and board-fit: TO-220 Full Pack through-hole
Housed in a TO-220 Full Pack (isolated tab), the part mounts through-hole — no separate insulating washer needed between the tab and the heatsink, which simplifies assembly and improves thermal coupling. The full-pack body is thicker than a standard TO-220; verify the heatsink clip or screw length accommodates the extra height. The wide temp range also means the Rds(on) derating curve matters — at 125°C junction the on-resistance roughly doubles from the 25°C value.
Active lifecycle — sourcing posture
The part is available in tape-and-reel or cut-tape formats for volume or prototype runs.
