Product details
Overview
2N6661JTXP02 from Vishay Siliconix is a military-qualified N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET with 90 V drain-source rating, 3.6 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 1.6 V gate threshold voltage, 35 pF input capacitance, and TO-205AD (TO-39) metal-can package - used in high-reliability relay drivers and solid-state switching for aerospace power control.
For engineers reviewing the 2N6661JTXP02 datasheet, 2N6661JTXP02 pinout, 2N6661JTXP02 application, or 2N6661JTXP02 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed military screening (JANTX), low-voltage logic-level drive compatibility (TTL/CMOS), thermal resistance of 20 °C/W junction-to-case, and pulsed drain current capability up to 3 A.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single N-channel silicon MOSFET with enhancement-mode gate control, designed for DC and low-frequency switching where reliability under extreme temperature (-55 to +150 °C) and radiation-tolerant environments is required. Its 90 V VDS rating and 0.86 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C support medium-power load switching in constrained thermal envelopes.
The 2N6661JTXP02 features low input capacitance (35 pF typ.) and fast switching (6 ns turn-on), enabling direct interface with TTL/CMOS without buffer stages. Drain is internally connected to the case per TO-205AD mechanical specification, requiring insulated mounting in grounded-case configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 90 V - Maximum blocking voltage between drain and source; defines upper limit for DC supply rail compatibility. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 3.6 Ω - On-resistance determines conduction loss and self-heating at 1 A load; impacts thermal design margin. |
| VGS(th) | 1.6 V (typ.) - Gate threshold enables reliable turn-on from 3.3 V or 5 V logic; supports direct CMOS/TTL drive. |
| Ciss | 35 pF - Low input capacitance reduces gate drive power and speeds switching; minimizes Miller effect in hard-switching. |
| tON | 6 ns - Fast turn-on time enables high-frequency PWM operation up to ~10 MHz in low-duty-cycle applications. |
| PD @ TC = 25 °C | 6.25 W - Power dissipation limit at case temperature 25 °C; requires heatsinking above ~1.5 W sustained load. |
| RthJC | 20 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance defines minimum heatsink requirement for safe 150 °C junction operation. |
Pinout & Package
2N6661JTXP02 is housed in a hermetically sealed TO-205AD (TO-39 tall lid) metal-can package with three leads: Drain (case-connected), Gate, and Source. Mounting requires electrical isolation of the case when drain is not at system ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Top View, Left) | Drain (D) | Connected directly to metal case; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless circuit ground reference matches drain potential. |
| 2 (Top View, Center) | Gate (G) | High-impedance MOSFET control terminal; driven by low-current logic; sensitive to ESD and overvoltage beyond ±20 V. |
| 3 (Top View, Right) | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive; common return path for load current; establishes VGS bias relative to gate. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Military qualification (JANTX) | Screened per MIL-PRF-19500/417; includes burn-in, temperature cycling, and lot acceptance testing for aerospace use. |
| Low VGS(th) (1.6 V typ.) | Enables full enhancement with 3.3 V or 5 V logic outputs - eliminates need for level-shifting or gate driver ICs. |
| Case-connected drain | Reduces package inductance and improves thermal path; mandates insulating hardware in non-ground-referenced drain circuits. |
| Low Ciss (35 pF) | Minimizes gate charge (Qg ≈ 12.5 pC) and drive energy - supports efficient low-power microcontroller-based switching. |
| Fast tON/tOFF (6 ns / 8 ns) | Reduces switching losses in pulse-width modulated loads; suitable for solenoid and relay coil driving with <100 ns total transition. |
Applications
| Aerospace Actuator Control | Solid-State Relay Module |

|
Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling RF power amplifier stages in satellite UHF telemetry transmitters during sleep/wake cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Load switch isolating PA supply rail; controlled by low-power MCU GPIO with minimal quiescent current draw. Use Value: Sub-μA IDSS (<1 μA at 72 V) prevents battery drain during standby; fast 6 ns turn-on enables precise duty-cycled RF bursts. |
Use Scenario: Providing seamless backup power path from main supply to SRAM in radiation-hardened flight computers during brownout events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OR-ing switch selecting between primary and backup 5 V rails; configured with low RDS(on) to minimize voltage drop. Use Value: 3.6 Ω RDS(on) limits voltage drop to <3.6 mV at 1 mA backup current - preserves SRAM data retention voltage margin. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2N6660JTXP02 | Lower VDS (60 V), higher RDS(on) (5.5 Ω), same TO-205AD package and JANTX screening. | Not suitable for 72 V load-dump tolerant designs; limited to ≤60 V rail applications. | Select only if system maximum voltage is ≤60 V and higher on-resistance is acceptable for thermal budget. |
| 2N7000-E3 | Commercial-grade, 60 V VDS, 5.3 Ω RDS(on), TO-92 package, no military screening or case-connected drain. | Lacks environmental ruggedness, thermal performance, and reliability validation for aerospace deployment. | Use only in non-critical, commercial, room-temperature applications where cost and size outweigh reliability requirements. |
Compared with 2N6661JTXP02, the 2N6660JTXP02 offers lower voltage rating but identical form factor and screening, while the 2N7000-E3 sacrifices military qualification, thermal capability, and case bonding for cost and footprint - making neither a drop-in replacement.

FAQ
What is the gate-source voltage rating for the 2N6661JTXP02?
The 2N6661JTXP02 has a maximum gate-source voltage rating of ±20 V. This absolute limit must not be exceeded during operation or handling, as transient overvoltage can cause irreversible gate oxide damage. The typical gate threshold voltage is 1.6 V, allowing reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic signals. Always use series gate resistors and clamping diodes in high-noise environments to protect the 2N6661JTXP02 gate terminal.
Is the drain of the 2N6661JTXP02 electrically connected to the case?
Yes, the drain of the 2N6661JTXP02 is internally bonded to the metal case per TO-205AD mechanical specification. This configuration provides low-inductance, low-thermal-resistance conduction but requires electrical isolation (e.g., shoulder washers, silicone pads) when mounting to a heatsink that is not at drain potential. Failure to isolate may result in short circuits or compromised safety grounding in the 2N6661JTXP02 application.
What does the "JTXP02" suffix indicate in 2N6661JTXP02?
The "JTXP02" suffix identifies this as a JANTX-qualified version with solder pre-coated leads (per DSCC specification). "JTX" denotes JANTX screening level, and "P02" specifies lead finish with 100% tin solder plating - eliminating lead-free assembly concerns and ensuring compatibility with traditional SnPb reflow profiles. This distinguishes the 2N6661JTXP02 from bare-gold ("JTX02") or PIND-tested ("JTXL02") variants.
Can the 2N6661JTXP02 replace a 2N7000 in a high-reliability design?
No, the 2N6661JTXP02 cannot directly replace a 2N7000 in high-reliability designs due to fundamental differences: the 2N6661JTXP02 is JANTX-screened, TO-205AD packaged, drain-case bonded, and rated for -55 to +150 °C operation, whereas the 2N7000 is commercial-grade, TO-92 packaged, and unqualified for aerospace use. While both are N-channel MOSFETs, the 2N6661JTXP02 serves distinct reliability-critical roles where the 2N7000 does not meet specification.
What is the maximum continuous drain current for the 2N6661JTXP02 at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current for the 2N6661JTXP02 is 0.54 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations - at higher case temperatures, power dissipation must be reduced to maintain junction temperature ≤150 °C. The 2N6661JTXP02 delivers 0.86 A only at TC = 25 °C; proper heatsinking is essential to sustain current in real-world 2N6661JTXP02 deployments.
