Additional Details

The TSM2N60CP is typically available in through-hole packages such as TO-220 or TO-220F, which allow for effective heat dissipation. It is designed to operate over a wide temperature range. The maximum drain current is dependent on the package and thermal conditions, typically in the range of a few amperes. The gate-source voltage is typically rated at +/- 30V. This MOSFET is a suitable choice for applications where both high voltage and high efficiency are critical design considerations. It is often used in hard-switching topologies due to its robust avalanche capability.
