I'd choose a device designed for higher power dissipation and that can accommodate a heatsink, such as a TO-220. Be sure your replacement device has a similar or slightly lower Vgs (on), and a lower Rds. I don know what the DC-DC converter design looks like, so make sure Vds is greater than the output voltage, probably 200V min.
The device you have now will only have marginal improvement with a heatsink because it's package was not optimized to use a heatsink. There isn't enough info in the datasheet to calculate the thermals with a heatsink. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
