Hi guys.
Can I use Exicon 10P20/10N20 instead of 10P16/10N16? These are in a TO-3 package. Yesterday, a customer brought me a REL Strata ii sub-bass with 2 blown power transistors.
Looking at the datasheet, 10P20/10N20 are rated for 200V while 10P16/10N16 are for 160V. All other parameters are the same.

Yes is the simple answer.
There are also the 'double die' versions (the 20N and P type) which have 16A rather than 8 A ratings. These are effectively two devices in parallel in the same package. For 99% of applications there would be no issue changing to those if you wanted. The gate/source capacitance of these is double the standard version and that is the loading the driver stage sees. In practice that is never an issue though.
