Product details
Overview
2SJ279S-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon P-channel MOSFET designed for high-speed power switching in DC-DC converters, motor drivers, and load-switching circuits. It features –60 V VDSS, 0.23 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = –4 V, –5 A continuous ID, avalanche energy rating of 2.1 mJ, and DPAK(S) surface-mount package.
For engineers reviewing the 2SJ279S-E datasheet, 2SJ279S-E pinout, 2SJ279S-E application, or 2SJ279S-E equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage gate drive capability (–4 V), guaranteed avalanche ruggedness, fast switching (td(off) = 125 ns), and thermal performance under pulsed load conditions.
Technical Context
This P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET operates with negative gate-to-source voltage control and integrates an intrinsic body diode rated for –5 A forward current and 140 ns reverse recovery time. Its gate threshold voltage range of –1.0 V to –2.25 V enables reliable turn-on with logic-level compatible drivers.
The device uses a planar vertical DMOS structure optimized for low RDS(on) and high repetitive avalanche endurance. Thermal derating follows a normalized transient impedance curve with θch–c = 6.25 °C/W at DC, supporting stable operation up to Tch = 150 °C.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ROHM RQ3E060AT | RDS(on) = 0.19 Ω @ –4.5 V; higher Ciss (900 pF); no avalanche rating specified | Better conduction loss at higher gate voltage; lacks avalanche stress validation for unclamped inductive loads | Select if gate drive is –4.5 V or higher and avalanche immunity is not required |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09N | RDS(on) = 0.22 Ω @ –4.5 V; SO-8FL package; 100% UIS tested but no published EAR value | Smaller footprint; lower thermal mass limits peak pulse handling vs. DPAK(S) tab | Select for space-constrained boards where 2.1 mJ avalanche margin is secondary to size |
Compared with ROHM RQ3E060AT and ON Semi NTMFS4C09N, the 2SJ279S-E offers uniquely validated avalanche energy (2.1 mJ), DPAK(S) thermal performance, and –4 V drive compatibility - making it preferred for ruggedized 24–48 V industrial power stages where reliability under fault conditions is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-to-source voltage rating for the 2SJ279S-E?
The 2SJ279S-E has a ±20 V VGSS absolute maximum rating. This means the gate can tolerate up to +20 V or –20 V relative to the source without damage. In normal operation, gate drive should remain within –20 V to 0 V for P-channel enhancement mode behavior. Exceeding this rating risks permanent gate oxide breakdown.
Does the 2SJ279S-E have a specified avalanche current rating?
Yes, the 2SJ279S-E specifies IAP = –5 A as the maximum repetitive avalanche current under test conditions (Tch = 25 °C, Rg ≥ 50 Ω). This rating supports design of unclamped inductive switching circuits where energy must be safely absorbed within the MOSFET's silicon.
Can the 2SJ279S-E be used in a high-side switch configuration with 12 V supply?
Yes, the 2SJ279S-E is well-suited for high-side switching with a 12 V rail. Its VGS(th) range (–1.0 V to –2.25 V) ensures full enhancement when the source is at 12 V and the gate is pulled to ground, resulting in VGS ≈ –12 V - well above the turn-on threshold and within safe VGS limits.
What is the thermal resistance from channel to case for the 2SJ279S-E?
The 2SJ279S-E has a channel-to-case thermal resistance (θch–c) of 6.25 °C/W under DC conditions at Tc = 25 °C. This value assumes proper soldering of the exposed drain tab to a minimum 100 mm² copper pour, and is critical for calculating junction temperature rise in thermally constrained layouts.
Is the body diode of the 2SJ279S-E suitable for synchronous rectification?
No - the 2SJ279S-E body diode is not optimized for synchronous rectification. With VDF = –1.2 V at –5 A and trr = 140 ns, it exhibits relatively high forward voltage and moderate recovery speed. For synchronous rectification, a dedicated low-VF, fast-recovery Schottky or optimized trench MOSFET is recommended instead of relying on the intrinsic body diode.
