This power MOSFET is designed using the
company’s consolidated strip layout-based MESH
OVERLAY™ process. This technology matches
and improves the performances compared with
standard parts from various sources.

In order to meet environmental requirements, ST offers these devices in ECOPACK®
packages. These packages have a Lead-free second level interconnect . The category of
second level interconnect is marked on the package and on the inner box label, in
compliance with JEDEC Standard JESD97. The maximum ratings related to soldering
conditions are also marked on the inner box label. ECOPACK is an ST trademark.
ECOPACK specifications are available at: www.st.com
