Product details
Overview
2SK1958-T1-A from Renesas Electronics is an N-channel vertical MOSFET designed for high-speed switching in low-voltage portable electronics. It features 1.5 V gate drive capability, 16 V drain-source voltage rating, ≤50 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 1.5 V/ID = 1 mA, 150 mW power dissipation, and TO-236 (SC-59) package. It serves as a compact load switch in headphone stereo and video camera power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 2SK1958-T1-A datasheet, 2SK1958-T1-A pinout, 2SK1958-T1-A application, or 2SK1958-T1-A equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low gate threshold (VGS(off) = 0.5–1.1 V), sub-100 ns switching times (td(on)/tf ≤ 110 ns), and omission of external bias resistors due to high input impedance.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-controlled, enhancement-mode N-channel MOSFET with integrated gate protection diode and body diode. Its low 1.5 V gate threshold enables direct interface with 1.8 V and 3.3 V logic outputs without level shifting.
It delivers 20 mS forward transfer admittance at VDS = 3 V/ID = 10 mA and exhibits gate leakage < ±3.0 µA at ±7.0 V, supporting stable DC biasing in battery-powered systems where quiescent current must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 16 V - Maximum blocking voltage for use in 3.3 V or 5 V rail switching without derating. |
| VGS(off) | 0.5–1.1 V - Ensures reliable turn-on from 1.5 V logic; eliminates need for gate pull-up resistors. |
| RDS(on) @ 1.5 V | 20–50 Ω - Supports ≤1 mA load switching with <75 mV drop; suitable for signal-level or bias control. |
| |yfs| | 20 mS - High transconductance enables fast, low-distortion switching in audio path applications. |
| td(on)/tf | 15/110 ns - Enables >5 MHz switching in pulsed LED or sensor bias control without slew-induced delay. |
| Ciss | 10 pF - Low input capacitance minimizes drive power and prevents logic output loading in portable ICs. |
| PT | 150 mW - Thermal design fits 1.25 × 2.1 mm SC-59 footprint with no heatsink in ambient ≤75 °C. |
Pinout & Package
2SK1958-T1-A uses the TO-236 (SC-59) surface-mount package: 3-pin, single-row, gull-wing leads, 1.25 mm × 2.1 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch. Marking: G21.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S (Source) | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Connected to system ground or common reference; defines VGS measurement point. |
| D (Drain) | Switched output terminal | Carries load current; connected to positive rail or signal path being controlled. |
| G (Gate) | Control input | High-impedance voltage-driven node; requires no series resistor for logic-level drive. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.5 V gate threshold | Enables direct drive from 1.8 V microcontroller GPIO without level shifter or charge pump. |
| No gate bias resistor required | Reduces BOM count by one passive per channel; improves PCB density in multi-channel audio modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-threshold MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2SK3541-TL-E | VGS(off) = 0.4–0.9 V; RDS(on) = 15–35 Ω @ 1.5 V; same SC-59 package | Lower RDS(on) enables higher load current (≤2 mA), but tighter VGS(off) tolerance increases risk of partial turn-on in noisy environments | Select when driving 1.5–2 mA loads with strict voltage margin; verify noise immunity in final layout. |
| RSQ015N03TR | VGS(th) = 0.6–1.2 V; RDS(on) = 12 Ω @ 2.5 V; SOT-323 package (smaller footprint) | Higher gate threshold improves noise rejection but requires ≥2.5 V drive; smaller package limits thermal mass for pulsed operation | Choose for space-constrained designs with ≥2.5 V logic; confirm thermal performance under 100 ms pulse duty. |
Compared with 2SK1958-T1-A, 2SK3541-TL-E offers lower on-resistance for marginally higher current loads, while RSQ015N03TR provides superior board area efficiency at the cost of reduced gate drive flexibility and thermal robustness in intermittent duty.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the 2SK1958-T1-A?
The 2SK1958-T1-A has a DC drain current rating of ±0.1 A at TA = 25 °C. This limit decreases with rising ambient temperature due to its 150 mW total power dissipation ceiling and thermal resistance characteristics. For sustained operation above 25 °C, derating curves in the official Renesas datasheet must be applied. The 2SK1958-T1-A is not intended for high-current switching but optimized for precision low-current control in portable systems.
Does the 2SK1958-T1-A include built-in ESD protection?
Yes, the 2SK1958-T1-A integrates a gate protection diode as shown in its equivalent circuit diagram. This internal structure provides basic ESD robustness compliant with standard handling requirements for consumer-grade discrete MOSFETs. However, it does not replace system-level ESD protection in high-risk environments. The 2SK1958-T1-A's ±7.0 V gate-source voltage rating reflects this protection level, and gate leakage remains ≤±3.0 µA under those conditions.
Can the 2SK1958-T1-A be used with 1.8 V logic without additional components?
Yes, the 2SK1958-T1-A is explicitly specified to operate with a 1.5 V gate drive, making it fully compatible with 1.8 V logic outputs. Its VGS(off) range of 0.5–1.1 V ensures strong enhancement-mode behavior, and its high input impedance eliminates the need for gate pull-up or series resistors. This capability is confirmed in the original Renesas datasheet and directly enables simplified interfacing in 1.8 V portable systems such as headphone stereos.
What is the typical RDS(on) of the 2SK1958-T1-A at VGS = 2.5 V and ID = 10 mA?
The typical RDS(on) of the 2SK1958-T1-A under those conditions is 10 Ω, with a guaranteed maximum of 15 Ω per the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and reflects the device's ability to maintain low conduction loss when driven with common 2.5 V logic levels. The 2SK1958-T1-A's RDS(on) improves further at higher VGS, reaching 5–12 Ω at 4.0 V, confirming its suitability for multi-rail voltage environments.
Is the 2SK1958-T1-A RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the 2SK1958-T1-A complies with the EU RoHS Directive and is halogen-free. Renesas Electronics confirms environmental compliance for this part in accordance with applicable regulations, including restrictions on lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE. Full material declarations and compliance documentation are available through Renesas' official product page and authorized distributor portals for the 2SK1958-T1-A.
