Product details
Overview
2N7002-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT-23 package, rated for 60 V VDS, 115 mA continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 7.5 Ω rDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It serves as a low-voltage logic-level switch in battery-powered load control, LED drivers, and signal routing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 2N7002-E3 datasheet, 2N7002-E3 pinout, 2N7002-E3 application, or 2N7002-E3 equivalent, this discrete MOSFET offers verified TTL/CMOS-compatible gate drive, fast 7 ns turn-on/turn-off times, and low 22 pF input capacitance-critical for high-speed digital switching and space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 2N7002-E3 employs a planar vertical DMOS structure optimized for low-threshold operation (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.5 V) and stable rDS(on) over temperature. Its gate oxide is designed for robust 20 V continuous VGS rating and <100 nA gate leakage at 20 V.
Dynamic performance is characterized by Ciss = 22 pF, Coss = 11 pF, and Crss = 2 pF at VDS = 25 V, enabling efficient switching in low-power DC-DC bias networks and level-shifting interfaces without external gate buffers.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDS Max | 60 V - supports rail-to-rail switching up to 48 V systems with margin |
| rDS(on) Max | 7.5 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - ensures ≤0.8 mW conduction loss at 100 mA load |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.5 V - enables direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V logic without level shifters |
| ID Continuous | 115 mA @ TA = 25 °C - suitable for driving LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs |
| Ciss | 22 pF - minimizes gate drive power and speeds up edge transitions |
| tON/tOFF | 7 ns each @ VDD = 15 V, RL = 25 Ω - supports >50 MHz digital switching |
Pinout & Package

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2004K-7 | rDS(on) = 3.5 Ω @ VGS = 4.5 V; higher ID = 290 mA; same SOT-23 package | Better for 200+ mA loads; requires tighter layout due to higher peak current | Select when lower conduction loss at 3.3 V drive is critical and board space allows same footprint |
| BSS138-7-F | rDS(on) = 3.5 Ω @ VGS = 10 V; VGS(th) = 0.8–1.5 V; Ciss = 25 pF | Lower threshold improves 1.8 V compatibility but slightly slower switching | Prefer for mixed-voltage systems where 1.8 V logic must directly control the FET |
Compared with DMN2004K-7 and BSS138-7-F, the 2N7002-E3 delivers balanced trade-offs: moderate rDS(on) and proven reliability in cost-sensitive consumer and industrial controls, while maintaining full compatibility with legacy 5 V and 3.3 V logic families without redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the 2N7002-E3?
The 2N7002-E3 is rated for 115 mA continuous drain current at ambient temperature (TA = 25 °C). At elevated ambient temperatures, derating applies: it delivers 73 mA at TA = 100 °C. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area for heat dissipation and accounts for its 625 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in free-air conditions. The 2N7002-E3 datasheet specifies these values under standard test conditions per JEDEC guidelines.
Does the 2N7002-E3 support direct drive from 3.3 V microcontrollers?
Yes, the 2N7002-E3 supports direct drive from 3.3 V microcontrollers. Its gate threshold voltage VGS(th) ranges from 1.0 V to 2.5 V, and it achieves full enhancement with rDS(on) ≤ 7.5 Ω at VGS = 4.5 V. At 3.3 V, typical rDS(on) remains below 13.5 Ω, enabling reliable switching of loads up to ~50 mA. The 2N7002-E3 has been widely deployed in 3.3 V I/O interface designs without external level shifters.
What is the package type and lead finish of the 2N7002-E3?
The 2N7002-E3 uses the SOT-23 (TO-236) surface-mount package with three terminals: Drain (pin 3), Gate (pin 2), and Source (pin 1). It features matte tin (Sn) lead finish compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1. The 2N7002-E3 is qualified for standard reflow soldering profiles including peak temperatures up to 260 °C.
How does the 2N7002-E3 compare to the 2N7000 in terms of performance and use cases?
The 2N7002-E3 and 2N7000 share identical electrical specifications except for packaging: the 2N7002-E3 is in SOT-23, while the 2N7000 is in TO-92. Both have 60 V VDS, 1–2.5 V VGS(th), and similar rDS(on). The 2N7002-E3 offers superior thermal performance in compact layouts and is preferred for automated assembly. The 2N7002-E3 replaces the 2N7000 in modern PCB designs where space and manufacturability are constraints.
Is the 2N7002-E3 suitable for switching inductive loads like relays or solenoids?
Yes, the 2N7002-E3 is suitable for switching inductive loads such as relays or solenoids rated ≤100 mA and ≤12 V. Its 60 V VDS rating provides ample margin against flyback voltage spikes, and its 0.5 A pulsed drain current (IDM) accommodates relay coil inrush. For sustained reliability, a flyback diode across the load is recommended. The 2N7002-E3 has been validated in thousands of relay driver circuits across industrial control panels.
