STF5N95K5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the STF5N95K5?
  The maximum operating frequency of the STF5N95K5 is 100 kHz, but it can be operated at higher frequencies with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure the STF5N95K5 is properly biased for optimal performance?
  To ensure proper biasing, connect the gate to a voltage source through a resistor, and connect the source to ground through a resistor. The recommended biasing voltage is 10V to 15V.
• What is the maximum power dissipation of the STF5N95K5?
  The maximum power dissipation of the STF5N95K5 is 150W, but it can be increased to 200W with proper heat sinking.
• Can I use the STF5N95K5 in a high-temperature environment?
  Yes, the STF5N95K5 can operate in high-temperature environments up to 150°C, but the maximum junction temperature should not exceed 175°C.
• How do I protect the STF5N95K5 from overvoltage and overcurrent?
  Use a voltage regulator to limit the voltage to the recommended maximum, and add a current-limiting resistor or a fuse to prevent overcurrent.
