I'd use these : https://www.greatplainselectronics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=IRL540N

LTG : )

The ST parts in your link are not compatible.
They might work... might not. And if they do work, they might quit when temperature in room changes.
The important spec is the VGS(th) value -- the threshold value of the part in the link is too high.

Use an IRL540N. Note the "L" in the part number... don't go with the more common IRF540N.

Because Stern switched to it for flippers until I believe they went to the IRL80.

Every time I replaced a 22NE10L with the IRL540, I never had a IRL540 fail.

I'd listen to Ed from GPE when he says it isn't compatible. When it comes to electrical components, Ed is the smartest guy in the room.

1 -- the IRL540N has TTL compatible gate control. The one you purchased does not.
2 -- the part you purchased has a low end VGth that just barely makes it into the TTL compatible voltage range. On a good day - it may work but if temperature shifts, the thresholds shift and might make the part better... or worse. Regardless, it would not be a *reliable* replacement.

And when looking at data sheets - you not only look at absolute maximums but also the applicable values as well.
For this application - the VGS(th) or Gate Threshold voltage is very important. It should be below 2.4V... in fact, the 22NE10L didn't even fit within that as it top'd out at 2.5V.

See attached:

And here is a snippet of the 25N10F data sheet. Note the VGS(th) *starts* above the 2.4V limit and goes up from there. It is well above TTL thresholds (as used in your machine) and almost out range of 5V CMOS voltage thresholds (which are not used in your machine).

Think of opening a door (or... a GATE) when looking at the VGS values.
The absolute maximum value is how hard you can push the door before the door comes off the hinges.
The threshold value (VGSth) is how hard to push the door just to fully open the door.
The 25N10 parts you bought need the circuit to push the door harder than the IRL540N... and in this case, the driving circuit can't (or might barely) push hard enough to open the door.

And a bit more wordiness....
Note - this has nothing to do with how fast the door opens. Once you hit the gate threshold - the door always opens damned fast. The controlling factor for speed is the "slew rate" on the gate voltage. This is how fast the voltage from the source driver circuit raises the gate voltage from near zero to or above VGS(th). Slow rise in voltage, slow turn on time. Fast rise in voltage, fast turn on time. Problem with MOSFET's is they switch a ton of current nearly instantaneously. A fast slew rate equals a huge inrush of current. Some MOSFET's can handle the slew rate better than others and some just die over time as the huge current inrush slowly kills them off. Better to be safe than sorry so this is why you will nearly always see a small 'slew rate limiting' capacitor on the gate connection of driver MOSFETs.

Moral of the story? When it comes to electronics and parts, listen to Ed! A true asset to the hobby.

There's really only two replacements for this application. The IRL540 and the STP40NF10L.
Notice with both parts the "L" designation, for logic level drive. As Ed explained, this is important.

The IRL540 is rated at 26 amps. The STP40NF10L is rated at 40 amps. Both are rated at 100 volts. Either will work but the STP40NF10L is more robust (and more expensive.) I've been using the IRL540 for years without any issues. Though the STP40NF10L is more appealing, it's twice the price.
