Josh,

Be careful about the package type.  I started the 40N60 craze (as far
as i can tell), and i used the SOT-227 (mini block) package.  The
40N60 still exists in TO-247 package.  I can not vouch for their
robustness in DRSSTC use, as i havent tried them.  With some care, im
sure they will work, but you probably cant punish them as much as the
mini-block type.

Be sure to get the ones with an internal diode, it saves a lot of
design work on the bridge.

Steve
