Product details
Overview
IRLML6402GTRPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a P-Channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in Micro3™ (SOT-23) package, designed for low-voltage load switching and battery protection circuits. It features -20 V VDS, 0.065 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -4.5 V, -3.7 A continuous drain current at 25°C, <1.1 mm profile, and lead-free/halogen-free construction - enabling space-constrained portable electronics power management.
For engineers reviewing the IRLML6402GTRPBF datasheet, IRLML6402GTRPBF pinout, IRLML6402GTRPBF application, or IRLML6402GTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include verified P-channel low-side switching capability, thermal performance in SOT-23 footprint, body diode conduction behavior, and gate drive compatibility with 2.5–4.5 V logic-level controllers.
Technical Context
This device operates as a normally-off P-channel switch with gate threshold voltage of -0.40 to -1.2 V, supporting direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers. Its fast switching (td(on) = 350 ns, tf = 381 ns) and low gate charge (Qg = 8.0–12 nC) reduce switching losses in high-frequency DC-DC and load-switching topologies.
The integrated body diode exhibits VSD = -1.2 V at -1.0 A and reverse recovery time trr = 29–43 ns, making it suitable for synchronous rectification and bidirectional current paths where controlled reverse conduction is required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -20 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage for 3.3 V/5 V system rail protection |
| RDS(on) | 0.065 Ω @ VGS = -4.5 V - Enables <100 mW conduction loss at 3.7 A, critical for thermally constrained PCBs |
| ID (25°C) | -3.7 A - Continuous drain current rating at ambient temperature, defining max load-handling capacity |
| PD (25°C) | 1.3 W - Power dissipation limit in still air, directly tied to thermal resistance (RθJA = 75°C/W) |
| Qg | 8.0–12 nC - Total gate charge determining drive strength requirement and switching speed scalability |
| tf | 381 ns - Fall time defining minimum achievable PWM period and EMI control in load-switching applications |
| VGS(th) | -0.40 to -1.2 V - Gate threshold range ensuring reliable turn-on with standard logic-level outputs |
Pinout & Package
IRLML6402GTRPBF uses the Micro3™ package - a thermally enhanced variant of SOT-23 (JEDEC TO-236AB) with exposed drain pad for improved heat transfer. Package dimensions: 2.9 × 1.6 × 1.1 mm (L × W × H), footprint-compatible with standard SOT-23 land patterns but optimized for lower RθJA.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Source) | Current return path for P-channel conduction | Connected to system ground or higher-potential rail depending on low-side vs. high-side configuration |
| 2 (Gate) | Control terminal for channel formation | Requires negative VGS relative to source; compatible with 3.3 V GPIO when source is at VIN |
| 3 (Drain) | Main current-carrying terminal (connected to exposed pad) | Exposed copper pad serves as primary thermal path and must be soldered to PCB copper pour for rated power handling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 0.065 Ω at -4.5 V enables efficient 3.7 A switching without heatsink in portable designs |
| Micro3™ package | SOT-23 footprint with thermal pad delivers best-in-class RθJA = 75°C/W for its size |
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced down to -2.5 V VGS, eliminating need for level-shifting in 3.3 V systems |
| Fast body diode | trr = 29–43 ns and Qrr = 11–17 nC support moderate-frequency freewheeling in buck converters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2020LFG-7 | RDS(on) = 0.052 Ω @ -4.5 V; slightly lower threshold (-0.35 V typ); same SOT-23-3 package | Better conduction efficiency at high current; tighter VGS(th) distribution improves batch consistency | Select when minimizing I²R loss at >3 A is prioritized over gate drive margin |
| SI2301BDS-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 0.115 Ω @ -4.5 V; higher RDS(on) but wider VGS(th) range (-0.4 to -1.5 V); same footprint | Higher on-resistance increases conduction loss but offers greater noise immunity in noisy environments | Select when robustness against gate voltage transients outweighs efficiency requirements |
Compared with DMN2020LFG-7 and SI2301BDS-T1-GE3, IRLML6402GTRPBF delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), predictable logic-level turn-on, and proven thermal performance in thin-profile portable assemblies - making it preferred for space- and thermal-limited battery management.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for IRLML6402GTRPBF?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, with continuous operation recommended up to +125°C. Derating begins at 25°C ambient at 0.01 W/°C, and thermal design must account for RθJA = 75°C/W with proper PCB copper area under the exposed drain pad.
Can IRLML6402GTRPBF be used in high-side switching configurations?
Yes - as a P-channel device, it supports high-side switching when the source is connected to the positive rail and gate is driven below source potential. However, full enhancement requires gate voltage ≤ (VIN – 2.5 V), so level-shifting may be needed for 5 V rails with 3.3 V controllers.
Does IRLML6402GTRPBF have avalanche rating, and what is its single-pulse energy capability?
Yes - it is rated for repetitive avalanche with EAS = 11 mJ (tested at IAS = -3.7 A, L = 1.65 mH, starting TJ = 25°C). This supports robustness against inductive switching transients in relay drivers and motor control interfaces.
Is the body diode suitable for continuous reverse conduction in synchronous rectification?
The body diode has VSD = -1.2 V at -1.0 A and trr = 29–43 ns, making it usable for low-duty-cycle freewheeling. For sustained reverse current, external Schottky diode parallel placement is recommended to avoid excessive forward drop and heating.
