Product details
Overview
PMH260UNE from Nexperia is a 20 V, N-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in a leadless DFN0606-3 (SOT8001) package, optimized for low-threshold switching in space-constrained applications. It delivers RDS(on) = 260 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V and ID = 0.7 A, supports 1.2 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and features 1.8 kV HBM ESD protection - deployed as a low-side load switch in portable power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMH260UNE datasheet, PMH260UNE pinout, PMH260UNE application, or PMH260UNE equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-small 0.62 × 0.62 × 0.37 mm footprint, fast switching (tr = 2 ns, tf = 2 ns), low VGS(th) (0.45–0.95 V), thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 287 K/W on FR4, and suitability for high-speed line driving and relay control where board area and gate drive simplicity are critical.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve low RDS(on) and fast dynamic performance with minimal gate charge (QG(tot) = 0.63–0.95 nC). Its sub-threshold conduction is tightly controlled (VGS(th) = 0.7 V typ at 25 °C), enabling reliable turn-on with low-voltage microcontrollers.
The device operates within ±8 V gate-source voltage limits and sustains 20 V drain-source blocking capability. Its source-drain diode exhibits VSD = 0.7–1.2 V at IS = 600 mA, supporting bidirectional current handling in certain switching topologies without external diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum drain-source voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in 3.3 V/5 V logic-driven loads. |
| RDS(on) | 260 mΩ (typ) at VGS = 4.5 V, ID = 0.7 A - Determines conduction loss and junction temperature rise under steady-state load. |
| VGS(th) | 0.45–0.95 V - Enables direct drive from 1.8 V or 2.5 V GPIOs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| QG(tot) | 0.63–0.95 nC - Low gate charge reduces driver power demand and enables >10 MHz switching in optimized layouts. |
| tr/tf | 2 ns / 2 ns - Fast edge rates minimize switching losses and EMI in high-frequency load switching. |
| ESD Rating | 1.8 kV HBM - Provides robustness against handling and board-level electrostatic events without external protection. |
| Ptot | 0.36 W at Tamb = 25 °C on FR4 - Sets practical power limit for thermally unenhanced PCB layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2016LFG-7 | RDS(on) = 175 mΩ @ 4.5 V but larger 1.0 × 1.0 mm DFN package; higher QG = 1.2 nC. | Better conduction loss but less suitable for ultra-dense layouts; requires larger thermal pad. | Choose when lower RDS(on) outweighs size constraints and board area permits 2.5× footprint increase. |
| AO3400 | SO-23 package; RDS(on) = 28 mΩ @ 10 V but VGS(th) = 0.8–1.8 V; no HBM rating specified. | Higher drive voltage requirement; lacks ESD hardening; incompatible with 1.8 V logic without gate boosting. | Select only if 10 V gate drive is available and ESD robustness is not required in final environment. |
Compared with DMN2016LFG-7 and AO3400, PMH260UNE uniquely balances ultra-miniaturization, 1.8 V logic compatibility, and factory-rated ESD protection - making it optimal for space- and voltage-constrained portable electronics where reliability and layout density are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for PMH260UNE at 100 °C ambient?
The maximum continuous drain current is 0.73 A at Tamb = 100 °C with device mounted on an FR4 PCB with single-sided copper and tin-plated mounting pad for drain (1 cm²). This derating reflects thermal limitations imposed by Rth(j-a) = 287 K/W and Ptot = 0.36 W at 25 °C ambient.
Does PMH260UNE require external gate resistors for typical 3.3 V MCU drive?
No external gate resistor is required for basic on/off operation with 3.3 V MCUs due to its low input capacitance (Ciss = 41 pF) and gate threshold centered at 0.7 V. However, a 10–47 Ω series resistor is recommended to dampen ringing during high-speed switching (>1 MHz) or in noisy environments.
Can PMH260UNE be used in a high-side configuration?
PMH260UNE is not suitable for high-side switching without a dedicated gate driver because its maximum VGS rating is ±8 V and it lacks integrated level-shifting. Driving the gate above the source voltage requires a bootstrap or isolated supply - making low-side use the intended and validated configuration per datasheet application guidance.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to solder point (Rth(j-sp)) for PMH260UNE?
Rth(j-sp) is 47–56 K/W when mounted on an FR4 PCB with single-sided copper, tin-plated, and standard footprint. This value enables accurate thermal modeling of localized heating at the solder joint and informs pad design for improved heat extraction in thermally demanding layouts.
