Product details

Overview

VN0606L-G-P003 from Supertex Inc. is an N-channel enhancement-mode vertical DMOS FET in TO-92 package, rated for 60V drain-source breakdown voltage, 3.0Ω max R_DS(ON) at V_GS = 10V/ID = 1.0A, and 1.5A continuous on-state current-used in low-power relay drivers, solenoid controls, and discrete switching stages of DC-DC converters.

For engineers reviewing the VN0606L-G-P003 datasheet, VN0606L-G-P003 pinout, VN0606L-G-P003 application, or VN0606L-G-P003 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.8–2.0V gate threshold, integral source-drain diode, ±30V gate rating, low 50pF input capacitance, and thermal stability up to +150°C ambient.

Technical Context

This device employs a silicon-gate vertical DMOS structure delivering bipolar-level power handling with MOS advantages: high input impedance (>10¹² Ω), positive temperature coefficient for inherent current sharing, and immunity to thermal runaway and secondary breakdown. Its 170 mmho forward transconductance enables robust small-signal gain in amplifier configurations.

Designed for discrete switching and linear operation, the VN0606L-G-P003 supports fast transitions (10ns turn-on/off delay) due to low C_ISS (50pF) and C_RSS (5.0pF), while the integrated body diode (V_SD = 0.85V @ 470mA) eliminates external freewheeling diodes in inductive load circuits.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
BVDSS	60V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche conduction; defines safe operating range in 24–48V systems.
RDS(ON) max	3.0Ω @ VGS=10V, ID=1.0A - Determines I²R conduction loss; enables ≤330mA continuous current at 25°C case temp.
VGS(th)	0.8–2.0V - Low-threshold gate drive compatible with 3.3V/5V logic without level-shifting.
CISS	50pF - Low input capacitance reduces gate drive power and speeds switching in PWM applications.
θJA	132°C/W - Thermal resistance indicates need for heatsinking or derating above 25°C ambient for sustained >330mA loads.
VSD	0.85V @ ISD=470mA - Forward drop of internal body diode supports flyback energy recirculation in relay/solenoid drivers.

Pinout & Package

Supplied in JEDEC-standard 3-lead TO-92 package (outline L), with lead spacing compliant to Supertex Doc.# DSPD-3TO92N3 (Version E041009). Seating plane defined per JEDEC MO-036.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (Left, when flat side faces viewer)	Gate	High-impedance control terminal; requires <100nA leakage current and 0.8–2.0V threshold for turn-on.
2 (Center)	Source	Reference node for gate drive and current return path; tied to system ground in low-side switch configuration.
3 (Right)	Drain	Power output terminal; handles up to 1.5A pulsed current and 60V blocking; connects to inductive load or supply rail.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel enhancement-mode vertical DMOS FET applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STP16NF06L	TO-220 package, 60V BVDSS, 0.12Ω RDS(ON), 16A ID; higher current, larger footprint.	Targeted at higher-power motor drives and inverters-not suitable for space-constrained TO-92 layouts.	Select only if board redesign permits TO-220 mounting and >10A peak current is required.
ZVN3306F	TO-92 package, 60V BVDSS, 3.5Ω RDS(ON), 0.5A ID; lower current rating, same pinout.	Acceptable for <300mA loads where VN0606L-G-P003's 1.5A capability is over-specified.	Use when lower cost and reduced thermal stress are priorities, but verify 0.5A limit against load requirements.

Compared with STP16NF06L and ZVN3306F, the VN0606L-G-P003 uniquely balances TO-92 form factor, 1.5A capability, and 0.8–2.0V gate threshold-making it optimal for compact, medium-current discrete switching where layout space and 3.3V/5V logic compatibility are critical.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for VN0606L-G-P003 at 25°C?

The VN0606L-G-P003 supports 330mA continuous drain current (ID) at TC = 25°C, limited by its 1.0W power dissipation rating and 132°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. At higher temperatures or with heatsinking, derating applies per the thermal characteristics table in DSFP-VN0606.

Does VN0606L-G-P003 have a built-in body diode, and what is its forward voltage?

Yes, the VN0606L-G-P003 includes an integral source-drain diode with a typical forward voltage drop (VSD) of 0.85V at 470mA source-drain current. This diode is intrinsic to the vertical DMOS structure and enables flyback current recirculation in inductive load applications without external components.

Can VN0606L-G-P003 be driven directly from a 3.3V microcontroller GPIO pin?

Yes, the VN0606L-G-P003 can be driven directly from a 3.3V GPIO because its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 0.8V to 2.0V, ensuring full enhancement well within 3.3V logic levels. No gate driver IC is needed for moderate-speed switching below 100kHz.

What is the gate-to-source voltage rating for VN0606L-G-P003, and why does it matter?

The VN0606L-G-P003 has a ±30V gate-to-source voltage rating (VGS), meaning the gate must never be driven more than 30V above or below the source. Exceeding this risks oxide breakdown and permanent gate damage-especially critical during hot-plug or inductive transient events where VGS spikes may occur.

Is VN0606L-G-P003 RoHS-compliant, and what does the "-G" suffix indicate?

Yes, the "-G" suffix in VN0606L-G-P003 explicitly denotes a lead (Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant package. All units shipped under this part number meet EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, including restrictions on cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE.
