Overview
The STF24NM60N is a revolutionary N-channel Power MOSFET developed by STMicroelectronics using the second generation of MDmesh™ II technology. This device combines a vertical structure with the company’s strip layout, resulting in one of the world’s lowest on-resistance and gate charge. This makes it highly suitable for the most demanding high-efficiency converters.
The STF24NM60N is housed in various packages, including TO-220FP, I²PAK, TO-220, and TO-247, offering flexibility in design and application. It is 100% avalanche tested and features low input capacitance, low gate charge, and low gate input resistance, making it ideal for high-performance switching applications.
