Product details
Overview
SSM3K37CT,L3F from Toshiba is a silicon N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in CST3 (SOT-323) package, designed for low-voltage, high-speed switching and analog switch applications. It delivers RDS(ON) = 5.60 Ω max at VGS = 1.5 V, supports 20 V VDSS, and operates with ±10 V gate drive capability - enabling use in battery-powered logic-level interface circuits and signal routing in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SSM3K37CT,L3F datasheet, SSM3K37CT,L3F pinout, SSM3K37CT,L3F application, or SSM3K37CT,L3F equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 1.5 V gate threshold compatibility, sub-6 Ω on-resistance at ultra-low gate voltage, thermal performance on FR4 boards, and validated switching speed (ton = 18 ns, toff = 36 ns) under 2.5 V drive conditions.
Technical Context
This discrete MOSFET uses planar silicon process technology to achieve stable Vth = 0.35–1.0 V and low input capacitance (Ciss = 12 pF), supporting fast digital switching while minimizing gate drive power. Its channel temperature rating of 150°C and derated power dissipation (100 mW on FR4) reflect design intent for thermally constrained PCB layouts.
The device features source-connected substrate and standard three-terminal configuration (Gate–Source–Drain), with bottom-side electrodes and top-side polarity marking. Electrical behavior is characterized under pulse test conditions (duty ≤ 1%) to ensure accurate RDS(ON) and |Yfs| values across ambient temperatures from −55°C to 150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 20 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; suitable for 3.3 V and 5 V rail switching without avalanche stress. |
| RDS(ON) @ VGS = 1.5 V | 5.60 Ω max - Enables reliable 1.5 V logic-level turn-on in space-constrained battery management and USB port protection. |
| ID (DC) | 200 mA - Continuous current handling capacity; sufficient for LED drivers, sensor biasing, and load switching in wearables. |
| ton/toff | 18 ns / 36 ns - Fast switching times support >10 MHz digital signal routing and PWM control in compact DC-DC feedback paths. |
| Ciss | 12 pF - Low input capacitance reduces gate drive energy and improves noise immunity in high-density mixed-signal PCBs. |
| Vth | 0.35–1.0 V - Guaranteed gate threshold range ensures robust turn-on margin even with aging or temperature drift in consumer IC interfaces. |
| PD (FR4) | 100 mW - Power limit defined on 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.0 mm FR4 board with 100 mm² copper pad; guides thermal layout decisions. |
Pinout & Package
SSM3K37CT,L3F is housed in the CST3 (JEITA package code 2-1J1B) surface-mount package - identical to SOT-323 - with dimensions 2.0 × 1.25 × 0.9 mm and typical weight of 0.75 mg. Electrodes are located on the bottom side; top-side marking includes polarity indicator and "SU" identifier.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Accepts logic-level voltage (≥1.5 V) to fully enhance channel; requires ESD-safe handling due to ±1 μA IGSS leakage spec. |
| 2 (Source) | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Internally tied to substrate; must be connected to lowest potential in switching node to maintain safe VGS limits. |
| 3 (Drain) | Current output terminal | Carries switched load current up to 200 mA DC; exposed drain pad on bottom enables thermal conduction to PCB copper. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.5 V gate drive compatibility | Guaranteed RDS(ON) ≤ 5.60 Ω at VGS = 1.5 V enables direct interfacing with Li-ion battery voltages and low-power MCU GPIOs. |
| Low gate charge & capacitance | Ciss = 12 pF and Crss = 4.1 pF minimize switching losses and reduce EMI in high-frequency analog switch applications. |
| Thermally optimized CST3 package | Bottom-side drain pad and thin profile (0.9 mm height) allow efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, supporting 100 mW operation on standard FR4. |
| Wide operating temperature range | Specified from −55°C to +150°C channel temperature ensures reliability in automotive cabin modules and industrial sensors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN1021UCB-7 | RDS(ON) = 4.5 Ω max @ VGS = 1.5 V; higher Ciss = 20 pF; same CST3 package. | Better on-resistance but slower switching (toff = 55 ns); less suitable for >5 MHz signal routing. | Prefer when lowest conduction loss dominates over switching speed - e.g., always-on bias networks. |
| AO3414 | RDS(ON) = 5.8 Ω max @ VGS = 1.5 V; lower VDSS = 16 V; SOT-23 package (larger footprint). | Not recommended for 20 V systems; requires PCB redesign due to different land pattern and thermal pad layout. | Select only if legacy SOT-23 footprint reuse is mandatory and 16 V rating suffices for target voltage rails. |
Compared with DMN1021UCB-7 and AO3414, the SSM3K37CT,L3F offers optimal balance of 1.5 V drive capability, 20 V rating, and 18 ns turn-on time in the smallest standardized footprint - making it preferred for new designs prioritizing board area, battery voltage compatibility, and signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SSM3K37CT,L3F at 25°C ambient?
The SSM3K37CT,L3F has a DC drain current rating of 200 mA at Ta = 25°C when mounted on a standard FR4 board (10 mm × 10 mm × 1.0 mm, 100 mm² Cu pad). This value assumes no additional heatsinking and accounts for the device's 100 mW power dissipation limit and thermal resistance characteristics. Exceeding this current may cause junction temperature to exceed 150°C, risking reliability degradation.
Does SSM3K37CT,L3F support true 1.5 V logic-level gate drive?
Yes, the SSM3K37CT,L3F is explicitly characterized for operation at VGS = 1.5 V, with RDS(ON) guaranteed ≤ 5.60 Ω under that condition. Its Vth range (0.35–1.0 V) provides sufficient margin above 1.5 V to ensure full enhancement, making the SSM3K37CT,L3F suitable for direct drive from single-cell Li-ion batteries or low-voltage MCUs without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the thermal resistance from channel to ambient for SSM3K37CT,L3F?
Toshiba does not specify Rth(ch-a) directly for the SSM3K37CT,L3F, but provides PD = 100 mW under defined FR4 board conditions (10 mm × 10 mm × 1.0 mm, 100 mm² Cu pad). From this, effective Rth(ch-a) is approximately 150°C/W - derived from ΔT = (Tch − Ta) = Rth × PD, assuming Tch = 150°C and Ta = 25°C. Actual thermal performance depends on PCB copper area and layer stackup.
Can SSM3K37CT,L3F be used in analog switch configurations?
Yes, the SSM3K37CT,L3F is qualified for analog switch applications per Toshiba's official documentation. Its low RDS(ON) variation across VDS (≤2.20 Ω at VGS = 4.5 V), low Crss = 4.1 pF, and symmetrical on-resistance behavior support bidirectional signal routing in audio paths, sensor multiplexing, and data line isolation - provided VDS remains within the 20 V rating and body diode conduction is managed.
Is SSM3K37CT,L3F RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the SSM3K37CT,L3F is RoHS compliant and lead-free, consistent with Toshiba's environmental policy and JEDEC standards for surface-mount discrete devices. The L3F suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging with Pb-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound. Full compliance documentation, including substance declarations and test reports, is available through Toshiba's official product portal.
