Product details
Overview
STP23NM60ND from STMicroelectronics is a 600 V, 23 A N-channel SuperMESH™ III power MOSFET in TO-220 package, featuring 190 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 45 nC total gate charge, and 100% avalanche-rated ruggedness. It is designed for high-efficiency switch-mode power supplies, PFC stages, and industrial motor drives operating up to 100 kHz.
For engineers reviewing the STP23NM60ND datasheet, STP23NM60ND pinout, STP23NM60ND application, or STP23NM60ND equivalent, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage margin, conduction loss at rated current, gate drive compatibility with standard PWM controllers, and thermal performance under forced-air cooling.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs ST's SuperMESH™ III process to achieve optimized trade-offs between on-resistance, gate charge, and switching speed. Its 600 V VDSS rating supports universal-input offline converters, while its 45 nC Qg enables efficient operation with standard gate drivers like UC384x or UCC27xx families.
The device features an integrated fast-recovery body diode (trr = 120 ns) and is fully characterized for repetitive avalanche energy (EAS = 420 mJ), making it suitable for hard-switched topologies where voltage overshoot and diode reverse recovery are critical.
Key Specifications

| VDSS | 600 V - Supports 400 V DC bus with ≥50% safety margin in PFC and SMPS designs |
| ID (Tc = 25°C) | 23 A - Sustains continuous conduction in 300–500 W industrial power stages |
| RDS(on) max | 190 mΩ - Limits conduction loss to ≤10 W at 23 A, enabling TO-220 thermal management |
| Qg | 45 nC - Compatible with 1 A peak gate drivers without excessive drive power dissipation |
| EAS | 420 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive switching stress without failure |
| trr (body diode) | 120 ns - Reduces switching losses and EMI in bridge-leg configurations |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPP60R190C6 (Infineon) | 650 V rating, 190 mΩ RDS(on), 42 nC Qg, CoolMOS™ C6 process | Slightly higher VDSS margin; lower gate charge improves light-load efficiency | Preferred for new designs targeting >94% efficiency at 20–100% load range |
| FQP23N60 (ON Semiconductor) | 600 V rating, 195 mΩ RDS(on), 55 nC Qg, planar process | Higher Qg increases gate drive loss; no avalanche rating specified | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, non-critical applications with conservative thermal design |
Compared with IPP60R190C6 and FQP23N60, the STP23NM60ND offers balanced gate drive requirements and guaranteed avalanche ruggedness-critical for legacy industrial designs where reliability under transient stress outweighs marginal efficiency gains.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The STP23NM60ND has a maximum rated junction temperature of 150°C. For reliable continuous operation, thermal design must ensure Tj remains below this limit under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions. Derating is required above 25°C ambient, and PCB copper area, heatsink size, and airflow must be validated per the device's SOA curves in the official datasheet.
Is the TO-220AB package electrically insulated?
Yes-the TO-220AB package used for STP23NM60ND features an electrically insulated metal tab. The drain is isolated from the mounting surface by a dielectric layer, allowing direct attachment to a grounded heatsink without additional insulators in most low-voltage-referenced systems. Always verify creepage/clearance compliance per end-equipment safety standards.
Does this MOSFET require a negative gate turn-off voltage?
No-STP23NM60ND operates reliably with 0 V gate turn-off and +10 V nominal gate drive. Its threshold voltage (VGS(th)) is 3–5 V, and it is fully enhanced at VGS ≥ 10 V. Negative gate bias is not required or recommended, as the device lacks inherent sensitivity to dv/dt-induced false turn-on typical of older planar MOSFETs.
Can STP23NM60ND replace STP22NM60 in existing designs?
Yes-STP23NM60ND is a direct replacement for STP22NM60, offering identical pinout, voltage rating, and package. It improves RDS(on) from 220 mΩ to 190 mΩ and reduces Qg from 52 nC to 45 nC, lowering both conduction and switching losses. No layout or drive circuit changes are needed for drop-in upgrade.
