Product details
Overview
2N6660JTX02 from Vishay Siliconix is a military-qualified N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET with 60 V drain-source rating, 1.3 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 1.7 V gate threshold voltage, 35 pF input capacitance, and TO-205AD (TO-39) metal-can package - used in high-reliability logic-level switching for relays, solenoids, and solid-state relays.
For engineers reviewing the 2N6660JTX02 datasheet, 2N6660JTX02 pinout, 2N6660JTX02 application, or 2N6660JTX02 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed military-grade reliability, low-voltage TTL/CMOS drive compatibility, fast 8 ns turn-on time, and junction temperature range from –55 °C to +150 °C.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single N-channel power switch with drain connected to case (electrically tied to Pin 1), requiring heatsinking via the metal can. Its low 1.7 V VGS(th) enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic without level-shifting, while its 35 pF Ciss and 8 ns tON support high-speed digital control in pulse-driven loads.
The 2N6660JTX02 is characterized across –55 °C to +125 °C for VGS(th) (0.3–2.5 V), RDS(on) (1.3–5.6 Ω), and IDSS (1–100 μA), with thermal resistance RthJC = 20 °C/W confirming efficient heat transfer from junction to case under continuous operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - maximum blocking voltage before avalanche breakdown; suitable for 48 V system interfaces. |
| RDS(on) | 1.3 Ω at VGS = 10 V - ensures <1.3 V conduction drop at 1 A load current, minimizing power loss. |
| VGS(th) | 1.7 V typical - guarantees reliable turn-on with standard TTL/CMOS outputs (≥2.4 V high). |
| Ciss | 35 pF - low gate input capacitance reduces driver power demand and speeds up switching transitions. |
| tON | 8 ns - fast turn-on supports high-frequency PWM control in relay/solenoid drivers. |
| ID (continuous) | 0.99 A at TC = 25 °C - defines maximum steady-state current with case heatsink at ambient reference. |
| TJ range | –55 °C to +150 °C - validated for extended temperature operation in aerospace and defense systems. |
Pinout & Package
2N6660JTX02 uses the TO-205AD (TO-39) metal-can package with three leads arranged in top-view clockwise order: Drain (Pin 1), Gate (Pin 2), Source (Pin 3). The drain is electrically connected to the case and must be isolated from mounting hardware unless referenced to system ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Drain) | Main current output terminal | Electrically bonded to metal case; requires insulating washer if mounted to grounded heatsink. |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate; driven directly by TTL/CMOS logic; 35 pF Ciss limits required drive strength. |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Current return path | Reference node for gate drive; connects to system ground or load return in low-side switch configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Military qualification (JANTX) | Qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/512, including screening, burn-in, and lot traceability for Hi-Rel programs. |
| Low VGS(th) | 1.7 V typical enables robust turn-on with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families without external level shifters. |
| Drain-to-case connection | Pin 1 and metal can are electrically common - simplifies thermal management but mandates electrical isolation planning. |
| Fast switching | 8 ns tON and 8.5 ns tOFF support >10 MHz digital control in pulse-width modulated loads. |
| Low leakage | IDSS ≤ 1 μA at 48 V and 25 °C - critical for battery-operated systems requiring ultra-low standby current. |
Applications
| Aerospace Actuator Control | Hi-Rel Battery Management |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving solenoid valves and position actuators in satellite attitude control systems where radiation tolerance and long-term reliability are mandatory. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side N-channel switch controlling 24–48 V DC solenoid coils with TTL-compatible enable signals. Use Value: Guaranteed 1.3 Ω RDS(on) at 10 V gate drive ensures <1.3 W conduction loss at 1 A, reducing thermal stress in sealed enclosures. | Use Scenario: Isolating backup battery banks in avionics power distribution units during main bus faults. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Solid-state relay replacement for fail-safe battery disconnect with microsecond response. Use Value: 8 ns turn-on time enables rapid fault isolation before overcurrent damage occurs in 28 V aircraft systems. |
| TTL-Driven Solid-State Relay | Industrial Logic-Level Interface |
Use Scenario: Replacing electromechanical relays in programmable logic controller (PLC) output modules operating from 5 V logic rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-pole, low-side switch interfacing 5 V CMOS outputs to 24 V DC loads (lamps, indicators, small motors). Use Value: 1.7 V VGS(th) ensures full enhancement with 2.4 V logic-high, eliminating need for gate driver ICs. | Use Scenario: Level-shifting interface between FPGA I/O banks (3.3 V) and legacy 5 V peripheral subsystems in test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional signal conditioning element enabling safe voltage translation without active logic. Use Value: Low 35 pF Ciss prevents signal distortion at >10 MHz data rates while maintaining sub-10 ns propagation delay. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2N6661JTX02 | Higher VDS = 100 V; RDS(on) = 2.5 Ω at VGS = 10 V; same TO-205AD package and JANTX screening. | Used where higher voltage margin is required (e.g., 72 V transient protection), but with ~90 % higher conduction loss at 1 A. | Select when system transients exceed 60 V but logic-level drive and military qualification remain essential. |
| DMN66D0LW-7 | Surface-mount SOT-23 package; RDS(on) = 1.2 Ω at VGS = 4.5 V; no military qualification; max VDS = 60 V. | Targeted at commercial high-volume PCBs where space and cost outweigh environmental ruggedness requirements. | Choose for compact consumer or industrial designs needing logic-level performance without Hi-Rel certification. |
Compared with 2N6660JTX02, 2N6661JTX02 trades lower on-resistance for higher voltage capability, while DMN66D0LW-7 offers comparable RDS(on) in a smaller footprint but lacks military screening, thermal robustness, and through-hole mechanical stability.

FAQ
What is the gate-source threshold voltage specification for the 2N6660JTX02?
The 2N6660JTX02 has a gate-source threshold voltage VGS(th) of 0.8 V minimum, 1.7 V typical, and 2.0 V maximum at ID = 1 mA and VDS = VGS. At elevated temperature (125 °C), VGS(th) drops to 0.3 V minimum, ensuring consistent turn-on behavior across its full operating range. This low threshold enables direct drive from standard TTL and CMOS logic families without external level shifting.
Is the 2N6660JTX02 pin-compatible with other TO-205AD MOSFETs like the 2N6661JTX02?
Yes, the 2N6660JTX02 shares identical TO-205AD (TO-39) mechanical dimensions and pinout (Drain–Gate–Source, clockwise top view) with the 2N6661JTX02 and other variants in the 2N666x family. However, electrical parameters differ - notably VDS (60 V vs. 100 V) and RDS(on) - so substitution requires verification of voltage and conduction loss requirements in the target circuit.
Does the 2N6660JTX02 have drain connected to the case, and how does that affect mounting?
Yes, the drain of the 2N6660JTX02 is electrically connected to the metal case (Pin 1). When mounted to a heatsink, an insulating washer and shoulder washer must be used unless the heatsink is intentionally tied to the drain potential. Failure to isolate may cause short circuits in low-side switch configurations where source is grounded.
What is the maximum continuous drain current for the 2N6660JTX02 at 100 °C case temperature?
The 2N6660JTX02 supports a continuous drain current of 0.62 A at TC = 100 °C, derated from 0.99 A at TC = 25 °C. This reflects thermal limitations of the TO-205AD package, with RthJC = 20 °C/W. Designers must ensure adequate heatsinking to maintain case temperature within limits for sustained operation.
How does the 2N6660JTX02 perform in battery-operated systems with low standby current requirements?
The 2N6660JTX02 exhibits ultra-low off-state leakage: IDSS ≤ 1 μA at VDS = 48 V and 25 °C, rising to ≤100 μA at 125 °C. This makes it suitable for battery-backed systems where quiescent current must remain below microampere levels during sleep modes, such as in remote telemetry or emergency power controllers using the 2N6660JTX02 as a load switch.
