Does Fairchild make this MOSFET?

Question

While browsing the Chinese site  I saw MOSFET  FQPF20N60 offered by a number of sellers. It has the Fairchild  logo on it but I can't find any information about it at the  Fairchild site or at any of the datasheet sites I use. Neither  Digikey nor Mouser nor Farnell/element14 has it either.  Low-quality semiconductors with popular type numbers printed on  them or counterfeits of big names are nothing new. But this may  be the first time I've seen a type number that immediately points  to a well-known manufacturer while a genuine product of that  number does not exist at all. (No, I'm not thinking of buying  these transistors).

It is on their site  but I don't know if it is EOL or what...  You can evidently buy some from here...  boB

Ooops ! My search slipped a couple of digites in the process.

It was made by Fairchild anyway. Doesn't look active anymore. There are better parts around now if the 20N60 is the TO220 part that I saw.

The numbers and the logo on the transistor made me assume that it's made by Fairchild. Even when I couldn't find information about it on the Fairchild site, I thought it might be because they'd discontinued it. After all, some manufacturers have this strange practice of hiding discontinued products in hard-to-find archives. But when I failed to find it at any of the third-party datasheet sites - some of whom seem to have datasheets of practically any device ever made - I began to wonder if this was not just a counterfeit but a complete fake.

Maybe they fat fingered their marking of fake parts? there is a fairchild  FQPF20N06 (N06 not N60), which is real.

I kmow about the N06 but it's a 60V device instead of 600V an N60  is implied to be. Maybe you're right about the fat finger.
