STP12NM50N Description

The STP12NM50N from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 500V MOSFET belonging to the MDmesh™ II series, designed for high-efficiency power switching applications. With a continuous drain current (Id) of 11A (at 25°C case temperature) and a low on-resistance (Rds(on)) of 380mΩ at 10V gate drive, this device ensures minimal conduction losses. Its 500V drain-source voltage (Vdss) rating makes it suitable for high-voltage circuits, while the ±25V gate-source voltage (Vgs) tolerance provides robust gate control flexibility.

STP12NM50N Features

• High Voltage & Current Handling: 500V Vdss and 11A Id (Tc) for demanding power applications.
• Low Rds(on): 380mΩ @ 10V Vgs, reducing power dissipation and improving efficiency.
• Advanced MDmesh™ II Technology: Optimized for fast switching, low gate charge (Qg = 30nC @ 10V), and reduced switching losses.
• Robust Thermal Performance: 100W max power dissipation (Tc) ensures reliability under high loads.
• Wide Gate Drive Range: Supports up to ±25V Vgs, enhancing design flexibility.
• Industry-Standard TO-220AB Package: Easy to mount and integrate into through-hole designs.
