Typical applications
With its 68 V drain–source rating the STP80NF70 sits in the mid-range class of switching MOSFETs, typically found in 24 V and 48 V industrial and battery systems, motor drives and H-bridges and load and hot-swap switching.
The 98 A current rating puts it in high-current territory, where conduction loss (I² × RDS(on)) and thermal design usually matter more than switching loss. Budget for adequate copper area and a heatsink.
The low 0.0098 Ω on-resistance keeps conduction loss down, which suits synchronous rectification and continuous high-current paths.
Gate drive and switching notes
Keep gate–source voltage within the ±20 V maximum; exceeding it punctures the gate oxide and destroys the device permanently.
Switching behaviour is characterised by a rise time of 60 ns and an output capacitance (Coss) of 550 pF, which together with the gate drive determines switching loss and the practical upper frequency limit.
Choosing a replacement for the STP80NF70
A drop-in substitute for the STP80NF70 must be the same N-channel type and offer a drain–source rating of at least 68 V, a continuous drain current rating of at least 98 A and an on-resistance no higher than 0.0098 Ω if efficiency and heat matter.
Mechanically, check the replacement against the TO220 footprint and confirm the pin order — parts sharing a package outline do not always share a pinout.
Where the application switches inductive loads or runs near the voltage limit, keep extra headroom rather than choosing a part that only just meets the original numbers.
Frequently asked questions
What is the STP80NF70?
The STP80NF70 is an N-channel MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 68 V drain-source and 98 A continuous drain current.
What is the maximum voltage of the STP80NF70?
The STP80NF70 has a maximum drain-source voltage (Vds) of 68 V. Treat this as an absolute maximum and design with margin, especially when switching inductive loads.
How much current can the STP80NF70 handle?
It is rated for 98 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 190 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.
What is the on-resistance of the STP80NF70?
On-resistance (Rds(on)) is 0.0098 Ω. Multiply by the square of your load current to estimate conduction loss.
What package does the STP80NF70 come in?
It is listed in TO220. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.
What can I use to replace the STP80NF70?
No verified equivalents are listed yet. Choose a part of the same polarity that meets or exceeds every rating above and shares a compatible package and pinout.
