Nexperia USA Inc. 2N7002CKVL

Overview

2N7002CKVL from Nexperia is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT-23 package, rated for 60 V V_DSS, 300 mA I_D, and 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 2N7002CKVL datasheet, 2N7002CKVL pinout, 2N7002CKVL application, or 2N7002CKVL equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage stability across temperature, guaranteed R_DS(on) at 4.5 V drive, and SOT-23 thermal resistance under pulsed load conditions.

Technical Context

This MOSFET uses planar TrenchMOS technology with a gate oxide thickness optimized for 1.8 V logic-level compatibility while maintaining 60 V breakdown margin. Its body diode exhibits 1.25 V forward voltage at 100 mA, enabling bidirectional current handling in level-shifting interfaces.

The device is characterized over –55 °C to 150 °C junction temperature range, with guaranteed turn-on delay time of 12 ns and rise time of 15 ns at V_GS = 10 V, R_G = 10 Ω, and C_load = 100 pF.

FAQ

What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for 2N7002CKVL?

The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C per the Nexperia datasheet. Derating begins at 25 °C ambient, with continuous power dissipation limited to 350 mW at T_A = 25 °C and reduced linearly to zero at T_A = 150 °C using R_θJA = 375 K/W. PCB copper area directly impacts actual thermal performance.

Does 2N7002CKVL require a gate resistor in typical switching applications?

A gate resistor is recommended between driver and gate pin to dampen ringing caused by trace inductance and MOSFET input capacitance. For 3.3 V MCU GPIO driving at ≤100 kHz, a 10–47 Ω resistor balances switching speed and EMI suppression. No resistor is needed for static on/off control.

Can 2N7002CKVL be used in reverse-biased configurations?

Yes-the intrinsic body diode conducts from source to drain when V_SD > 1.25 V. This enables reverse-polarity protection and flyback energy recirculation in inductive loads. However, the diode is not rated for continuous forward conduction beyond 100 mA due to thermal limitations in SOT-23.

Is 2N7002CKVL compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?

Yes-2N7002CKVL meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, with lead-free matte tin termination and halogen-free molding compound. Certificate of Compliance is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics.
