Product details

Overview

2N7002CK,215 from Nexperia is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT-23 package, rated for 60 V V_DS, 300 mA I_D (continuous), and 1.5 Ω R_DS(on) at V_GS = 10 V. It serves as a low-side load switch in portable power management circuits, e.g., LED backlight control and USB port power gating.

For engineers reviewing the 2N7002CK,215 datasheet, 2N7002CK,215 pinout, 2N7002CK,215 application, or 2N7002CK,215 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage stability across temperature, gate charge for fast switching in battery-powered systems, and SOA compliance under pulsed load conditions.

Technical Context

This MOSFET uses planar silicon technology with optimized channel doping to achieve a typical V_GS(th) of 1.6 V and guaranteed maximum of 2.5 V at I_D = 250 µA. Its body diode exhibits reverse recovery time t_rr ≤ 40 ns and Q_rr ≤ 10 nC, supporting efficient flyback energy handling in DC-DC converters.

The device is characterized over -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability. Thermal resistance R_θJA is 350 K/W in standard FR-4 PCB layout with minimal copper pour.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DS	60 V - supports 24 V industrial bus and 48 V PoE applications without derating
I_D (continuous)	300 mA - sufficient for driving small solenoids, logic-level indicators, and sensor bias networks
R_DS(on) @ V_GS=10 V	1.5 Ω - enables <100 mW conduction loss at 250 mA, critical for thermal budget in sealed enclosures
V_GS(th)	1.6 V (typ), 2.5 V (max) - ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs
Q_g	0.9 nC - allows sub-µs switching with low gate drive current, reducing MCU GPIO stress
P_D @ T_A=25°C	350 mW - defines maximum steady-state power dissipation on standard 2-layer PCB

Pinout & Package

2 (Drain)	Switched high-side return path	Connected to load supply rail; handles full load current and transient voltage spikes
3 (Source)	Power reference node	Tied to system ground; forms common return for gate drive and load current

Key Features

Feature	Design Value

Low gate charge	0.9 nC total gate charge minimizes switching losses and EMI in high-frequency PWM circuits
Fast switching	Turn-on delay t_d(on) = 3.5 ns, rise time t_r = 7 ns - suitable for >1 MHz DC-DC control loops
AEC-Q101 qualified	Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics per stress test requirements

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
DMN2004K-7	R_DS(on) = 1.8 Ω @ V_GS = 4.5 V; higher gate charge (1.2 nC)	Optimized for 1.8 V logic interfaces; less margin at 3.3 V drive	Prefer when interfacing directly with low-voltage FPGAs or ASICs
BSS138DW-7-F	Dual N-channel, 50 V rating, R_DS(on) = 3.5 Ω @ V_GS = 10 V	Offers dual configuration for complementary switching; higher on-resistance	Select when space-constrained layouts require two matched switches in one footprint

Compared with DMN2004K-7 and BSS138DW-7-F, the 2N7002CK,215 delivers lower conduction loss at 3.3 V drive and superior thermal performance in single-switch configurations, making it optimal for discrete load switching where board area and efficiency are prioritized over integration density.

FAQ

What is the maximum safe operating temperature for 2N7002CK,215?

The 2N7002CK,215 has a maximum junction temperature (T_j) of +150 °C and is rated for continuous operation up to +85 °C ambient on standard FR-4 PCB with 1 cm² copper pour. Derating begins above 25 °C ambient at 1.15 mW/°C, based on R_θJA = 350 K/W.

Can 2N7002CK,215 be used in linear (analog) mode?

No - the 2N7002CK,215 is not characterized or guaranteed for linear operation. Its Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve is specified only for pulsed switching conditions (t_p ≤ 10 ms). Continuous analog bias risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of R_DS(on).

Is the body diode suitable for reverse polarity protection?

Yes - the intrinsic body diode supports reverse polarity protection in low-power circuits. With V_F ≈ 1.1 V at 100 mA and t_rr ≤ 40 ns, it provides fast clamping but must be paired with series fuse or current-limiting resistor to avoid destructive forward conduction during fault events.

Does 2N7002CK,215 require a gate resistor in typical switching applications?

A gate resistor is recommended between 10 Ω and 100 Ω to dampen ringing caused by PCB trace inductance and gate capacitance interaction. While not mandatory for basic on/off control, it improves EMI performance and reduces overshoot on 3.3 V GPIO lines driving capacitive loads >200 pF.
