Product details
Overview
IRLML2402TRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 20 V, 1.2 A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in Micro3™ (SOT-23) package with 200 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V, 1.5 V gate threshold, and 0.93 A continuous drain current - used for low-side load switching in portable power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the IRLML2402TRPBF datasheet, IRLML2402TRPBF pinout, IRLML2402TRPBF application, or IRLML2402TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level gate drive compatibility, thermal performance in SOT-23 footprint, on-resistance stability across temperature, and body diode recovery behavior in DC-DC synchronous rectification.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar trench-gate technology optimized for low-voltage logic-level operation. It features a 1.5 V typical VGS(th), enabling direct drive from 1.8 V/3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifting, and exhibits RDS(on) of 200 mΩ at 4.5 V and 300 mΩ at 2.5 V.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode with trr < 48 ns and Qrr = 12 nC at IF = 0.93 A, supporting efficient synchronous buck operation. Its thermal resistance RθJA is 200 °C/W (standard PCB layout), limiting continuous power dissipation to ~250 mW at TA = 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; suitable for 12 V rail and USB-powered systems. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 200 mΩ - Enables ≤180 mW conduction loss at 0.93 A; critical for battery runtime in portable devices. |
| ID (continuous) | 1.2 A - Rated drain current with derating above 25 °C; supports typical LED drivers and fan controllers. |
| VGS(th) | 1.5 V (typ), ≤2.5 V (max) - Ensures reliable turn-on with 1.8 V GPIOs; eliminates need for gate driver ICs. |
| QG | 4.2 nC - Low total gate charge enables fast switching with minimal drive strength; reduces gate driver losses. |
| Ciss | 270 pF - Input capacitance impacts gate drive timing and EMI; compatible with standard MCU PWM frequencies up to 1 MHz. |
| TJ max | 150 °C - Junction temperature limit defines safe operating area under pulsed loads and ambient thermal constraints. |
Pinout & Package
IRLML2402TRPBF uses the Micro3™ package (JEDEC TO-236AB / SOT-23), a surface-mount 3-pin plastic case with Gull-wing leads. The package measures 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm and is optimized for high-density PCB layouts with minimal thermal pad area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives logic-level voltage to modulate channel conductivity; requires no external pull-down resistor in most applications. |
| 2 (Drain) | High-side current path | Connected to load supply rail; handles full switched current and must be routed with adequate copper area for thermal relief. |
| 3 (Source) | Reference node / return path | Bonded to internal substrate; forms common reference for gate drive and provides body diode cathode connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced down to 2.5 V VGS, enabling direct interface with 1.8 V/3.3 V MCUs and PMICs. |
| Low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | 200 mΩ ensures sub-200 mW conduction loss at rated current, extending battery life in handheld equipment. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr < 48 ns and Qrr = 12 nC reduce switching losses and voltage spikes in synchronous rectifier topologies. |
| Micro3™ package | SOT-23 footprint with standardized land pattern supports automated assembly and offers 200 °C/W thermal resistance on 1-in² FR4. |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1); suitable for reflow soldering without pre-bake. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2004LK-7 | RDS(on) = 180 mΩ @ 4.5 V; higher QG (6.5 nC); same SOT-23 package. | Better conduction loss but slower switching; less suitable for >500 kHz PWM. | Prefer when efficiency at low frequency dominates over switching speed. |
| SI2302DS-T1-GE3 | VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V; RDS(on) = 230 mΩ @ 4.5 V; slightly higher leakage (IDSS = 1 µA). | Lower threshold improves margin with weak drivers but increases risk of partial turn-on in noisy environments. | Choose where ultra-low drive voltage is mandatory and noise immunity is managed externally. |
Compared with DMN2004LK-7 and SI2302DS-T1-GE3, IRLML2402TRPBF delivers optimal balance of gate drive simplicity, thermal robustness in SOT-23, and body diode performance - making it preferred for space-constrained, battery-sensitive designs requiring predictable turn-on behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRLML2402TRPBF at 70°C ambient?
At TA = 70 °C with standard PCB layout (1 in² copper), the maximum continuous ID is derated to 0.75 A due to thermal limitations. This is calculated using RθJA = 200 °C/W and TJ(max) = 150 °C, resulting in PD = (150 − 70)/200 = 0.4 W, and ID = √(PD/RDS(on)) ≈ √(0.4/0.2) = 1.4 A - but package current rating caps it at 0.75 A per datasheet absolute maximum ratings.
Can IRLML2402TRPBF be used in reverse polarity protection circuits?
No - IRLML2402TRPBF is an N-channel MOSFET intended for low-side switching only. For reverse polarity protection, a P-channel device like IRLML6344 or an N-channel high-side configuration with charge pump is required. Its body diode conducts from source to drain, making it unsuitable for series input protection without external circuitry.
Does this MOSFET require a gate resistor for 3.3 V MCU drive?
A gate resistor is not required for basic on/off operation with a 3.3 V MCU GPIO, as the device turns fully on with VGS ≥ 2.5 V. However, a 10–100 Ω series resistor is recommended to dampen ringing during fast switching and limit peak gate current during PWM transitions above 100 kHz.
Is the Micro3™ package thermally enhanced compared to standard SOT-23?
No - Micro3™ is Infineon's trademarked name for JEDEC-standard SOT-23 (TO-236AB). It has identical thermal characteristics to generic SOT-23: RθJA = 200 °C/W on 1 in² FR4 with no thermal pad. No internal thermal slug or exposed pad is present; thermal performance depends entirely on PCB copper area and layout.
