STP20N60M2-EP N-Channel MOSFET 600V 13A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The STP20N60M2-EP is an N-Channel MOSFET manufactured by STMicroelectronics, rated for 600V drain-to-source voltage with 13A continuous drain current at 25°C. This device is housed in a TO-220-3 through-hole package and is part of the MDmesh™ M2-EP series. The component is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when alternative N-Channel MOSFETs share compatible electrical and mechanical parameters within the allowed operating ranges for this product category. Substitutes must maintain the same package type (TO-220-3), mounting configuration (through-hole), and support the same gate drive voltage (10V) to ensure direct replacement capability in existing circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the STP20N60M2-EP are identified based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• FET Type: N-Channel
• Technology: MOSFET (Metal Oxide)
• Package / Case: TO-220-3
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Drive Voltage: 10V

Electrical Operating Range Parameters:

• Drain to Source Voltage (Vdss): Equal to or greater than 600V
• Current - Continuous Drain (Id) @ 25°C: Equal to or greater than 13A
• Power Dissipation (Max): Sufficient thermal capability for application requirements

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Product Status: Active

The two substitute parts identified (IPP80R280P7XKSA1 and SPP15N60C3XKSA1) meet all mandatory compatibility parameters and exceed the electrical performance specifications of the main part. Both substitutes are manufactured by Infineon Technologies, are ROHS3 compliant, and maintain active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

IPP80R280P7XKSA1 (Infineon CoolMOS™ Series)

This substitute provides higher voltage rating (800V vs. 600V) and higher continuous drain current (17A vs. 13A). The device maintains the same 10V drive voltage and TO-220-3 package configuration. Power dissipation is rated at 101W, which is lower than the main part. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage headroom or increased current capacity while maintaining the same package footprint and gate drive requirements. ROHS3 compliance and active product status confirm ongoing availability and regulatory alignment.

SPP15N60C3XKSA1 (Infineon CoolMOS™ Series)

This substitute provides voltage rating of 650V (50V higher than the main part) and continuous drain current of 15A (2A higher than the main part). Power dissipation is rated at 156W, exceeding the main part's 110W rating. The device maintains the same 10V drive voltage and TO-220-3 package configuration. This substitute offers improved thermal performance and is suitable for applications with higher power dissipation requirements. ROHS3 compliance and active product status confirm ongoing availability and regulatory alignment.

Both substitutes are electrically and mechanically compatible with the STP20N60M2-EP and support direct replacement in TO-220-3 through-hole circuit board layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IPP80R280P7XKSA1 or SPP15N60C3XKSA1 be used as direct replacements for STP20N60M2-EP?

A: Both substitutes are compatible for direct replacement in TO-220-3 through-hole applications. All three devices share the same package type, mounting configuration, and 10V gate drive voltage. The substitutes exceed the electrical specifications of the main part, providing higher voltage and current ratings.

Q: What is the primary difference between the two substitute parts?

A: IPP80R280P7XKSA1 offers the highest voltage rating (800V) with 17A current capacity and lower power dissipation (101W). SPP15N60C3XKSA1 provides 650V voltage rating with 15A current capacity and higher power dissipation (156W). Selection depends on application voltage requirements and thermal management needs.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. STP20N60M2-EP, IPP80R280P7XKSA1, and SPP15N60C3XKSA1 are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Do the substitute parts require different PCB layout considerations?

A: No. All three devices use the TO-220-3 package with identical pin configuration and through-hole mounting. PCB layouts designed for STP20N60M2-EP are directly compatible with both substitute parts without modification.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) for each part?

A: STP20N60M2-EP and SPP15N60C3XKSA1 both have MSL 1 (Unlimited). IPP80R280P7XKSA1 has MSL Not Applicable. All three parts support standard handling and storage conditions without special moisture control requirements.

Q: Are these parts currently in active production?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain active product status with STMicroelectronics and Infineon Technologies, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain stability.
