Product details
Overview
2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ from Renesas Electronics is a P-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET designed for low-voltage switching applications including solenoid, motor, and lamp drivers. It features RDS(on) = 0.08 Ω (typ.) at VGS = −10 V, ID = −2.0 A; VDSS = −30 V; ID(DC) = −4.0 A; and built-in gate-source protection diode.
For engineers reviewing the 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ datasheet, 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ pinout, 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ application, or 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed low RDS(on) at −4 V gate drive, TO-252 package thermal performance, and suitability for 24 V DC load switching in industrial control modules.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single N-channel depletion-mode MOSFET - wait, correction: it is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET with negative threshold voltage (VGS(th) ≈ −1.0 to −2.5 V), requiring negative gate bias relative to source for conduction. Its low Ciss of 800 pF (typ.) supports fast switching in PWM-driven loads up to ~100 kHz.
The integrated gate-source Zener diode clamps transient overvoltage during inductive turn-off, eliminating need for external TVS in many solenoid driver designs. Thermal resistance RθJC is 0.75°C/W (typ.), enabling 20 W dissipation at case temperature ≤25°C per absolute maximum rating PT1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | −30 V - supports reliable operation in 24 V nominal systems with surge margin up to ±30 V transients |
| RDS(on) (VGS = −10 V) | 0.08 Ω (typ.) - enables <160 mW conduction loss at −2 A DC load current |
| RDS(on) (VGS = −4 V) | 0.15 Ω (typ.) - ensures usable on-resistance with logic-level gate drive from microcontrollers |
| Ciss | 800 pF (typ.) - allows efficient 100 kHz PWM switching with moderate gate driver strength |
| ID(DC) | −4.0 A - rated continuous drain current suitable for driving 24 V/30 W lamps or small DC motors |
| Package | TO-252 (MP-3Z) - surface-mount package with exposed drain fin for enhanced PCB heat spreading |
Pinout & Package
2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ uses the TO-252 (MP-3Z) package with three main terminals and an integral drain-fin thermal pad. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain, Pin 3 = Source, Pin 4 = Drain Fin (electrically connected to Pin 2). The drain fin must be soldered to a large copper pour for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control input | Receives negative gate voltage relative to source to turn on; protected by internal Zener diode |
| 2 (Drain) | High-side load connection | Connected to positive supply rail; carries full load current when device is off |
| 3 (Source) | Reference node | Connected to system ground or low-side return; defines gate drive reference point |
| 4 (Drain Fin) | Thermal & electrical extension | Electrically tied to drain; requires direct PCB copper connection for effective heat transfer |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) at −4 V | Enables direct interface with 5 V or 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting circuitry |
| Built-in G-S Zener diode | Eliminates need for external gate protection in inductive load switching (e.g., relay coils) |
| TO-252 thermal design | Allows 20 W power dissipation with proper PCB copper area - 2× higher than TO-92 equivalents |
| Fast switching capability | 800 pF Ciss supports clean 100 kHz PWM edges with <100 ns rise/fall times using 1 Ω gate resistor |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-polarity protected OR-ing switch preventing backfeed between parallel supplies. Use Value: Inherent body diode orientation blocks reverse current; low RDS(on) reduces voltage drop vs. Schottky diodes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9530NPbF | VDSS = −100 V, RDS(on) = 0.3 Ω @ −10 V - higher voltage rating but 3.75× higher on-resistance | Suitable for 48 V systems; less efficient in 24 V solenoid drivers due to higher conduction loss | Select only if −100 V blocking is required; otherwise 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ offers superior efficiency at 24 V |
| Si2301DDS-T1-GE3 | SO-23 package, RDS(on) = 0.135 Ω @ −4.5 V - smaller footprint but lower power handling (1.4 W TA) | Applicable for space-constrained PCBs with <1 A loads; not suitable for 4 A continuous solenoid use | Choose for compact low-current designs; 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ remains preferred for >2 A industrial loads |
Compared with IRF9530NPbF and Si2301DDS-T1-GE3, the 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), TO-252 thermal capability, and −4 V gate compatibility for 24 V industrial switching - offering 60% lower conduction loss than IRF9530NPbF and 14× higher power dissipation than Si2301DDS-T1-GE3.

FAQ
What is the gate threshold voltage range for the 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ?
The 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ has a typical gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of −1.0 V to −2.5 V at ID = −1 mA. This confirms its enhancement-mode P-channel behavior: conduction begins when VGS falls below this negative threshold. Full enhancement occurs at VGS ≤ −4 V, where RDS(on) reaches 0.15 Ω (typ.). Designers must ensure gate drive sinks below −2.5 V to guarantee turn-on across temperature and process variation. The 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ data sheet specifies this parameter under Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics sections.
Does the 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ require an external gate resistor?
Yes, a gate resistor is recommended for the 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ to control switching speed and suppress ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance (Miller effect). A 10 Ω to 100 Ω resistor is typical for 10–100 kHz PWM applications. While the device includes a built-in gate-source Zener diode, it does not eliminate need for controlled gate drive impedance. Excessive dV/dt can cause false turn-on; insufficient damping leads to oscillation. The 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ's Ciss of 800 pF interacts directly with gate resistance to set rise/fall time - critical for EMI and shoot-through prevention in bridge circuits.
Can the 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ be used in linear (analog) regulation mode?
No, the 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ is not characterized or rated for linear-mode operation. Its Safe Operating Area (SOA) is specified only for pulsed and DC switching conditions - not for extended time in the ohmic or saturation region. Continuous linear operation risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) and inadequate SOA derating at elevated temperatures. The 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ datasheet provides no linear-region SOA curves or thermal impedance data for analog use. For linear regulation, purpose-built LDOs or bipolar pass transistors are appropriate alternatives.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance for the 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ?
The 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ has a maximum channel temperature (Tch) of 150°C and a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 0.75°C/W. With a TO-252 package mounted on ≥10 cm² 2-oz copper, total RθJA is approximately 50°C/W - enabling 1.0 W dissipation at ambient 25°C. Derating is required above 25°C ambient per the datasheet's "Total Power Dissipation (TA = 25°C)" limit of 1.0 W. The 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ must be thermally anchored to PCB copper; floating mounting violates absolute maximum ratings.
Is the 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ is RoHS compliant and lead-free. Per Renesas documentation and packaging markings (E1 suffix), it conforms to EU Directive 2011/65/EU and subsequent amendments. The "-E1" in the part number denotes lead-free plating and RoHS-compliant packaging. No exemptions apply. Renesas confirms compliance across all manufacturing lots post-2006, aligning with the January 2007 datasheet revision. The 2SJ325-Z-E1-AZ meets JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 marking requirements for lead-free terminations.
