Product details
Overview
VN10LPSTOB from Diodes Incorporated is a 60V N-channel enhancement-mode vertical DMOSFET in E-Line (TO-92 compatible) package, rated for 270mA continuous drain current, 5Ω RDS(ON) at VGS = 10V, and 625mW power dissipation-used in low-power load switching, LED bias control, and automotive body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the VN10LPSTOB datasheet, VN10LPSTOB pinout, VN10LPSTOB application, or VN10LPSTOB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60V BVDSS rating, 2.5V maximum gate threshold voltage, TO-92-compatible leaded package, thermal resistance of 200°C/W (junction-to-ambient), and qualification to JEDEC high-reliability standards.
Technical Context
This discrete MOSFET operates as a single N-channel enhancement-mode switch with vertical DMOS structure, enabling fast switching (tON/tOFF ≤ 10ns) and low conduction loss. Its gate threshold voltage range (0.8–2.5V) supports direct drive from 3.3V/5V logic without level shifting.
Thermal design relies on its 71°C/W junction-to-leads resistance and 200°C/W junction-to-ambient rating under standard FR4 mounting. The device is not AEC-Q qualified but meets JEDEC high-reliability requirements for industrial use.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| BVDSS | 60V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche breakdown |
| RDS(ON) | 5.0Ω @ VGS=10V - On-resistance determines I²R conduction loss in switching applications |
| ID (Continuous) | 270mA - Max steady-state current without exceeding thermal limits on PCB |
| PD | 625mW - Power dissipation limit at TA=25°C with minimum pad layout |
| VGS(TH) | 0.8–2.5V - Gate voltage range where device transitions from off to on state |
| Ciss | 60pF - Input capacitance affecting gate drive strength and switching speed |
| RθJA | 200°C/W - Thermal resistance defining junction temperature rise per watt dissipated |
Pinout & Package

Applications
| LED Bias Control | Low-Power Load Switching |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Constant-current biasing of indicator LEDs in automotive instrument clusters and industrial HMI panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: N-channel MOSFET used as low-side switch to sink LED current with minimal voltage drop. Use Value: 5Ω RDS(ON) ensures <1.35V drop at 270mA, preserving headroom for LED forward voltage and supply regulation. | Use Scenario: Enabling/disabling peripheral sensors or communication modules in battery-powered IoT nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete power switch controlling VCC rail to subsystems during sleep/wake cycles. Use Value: 270mA rating and 2.5V VGS(TH) support clean turn-on from 3.3V GPIO without external driver circuitry. |
| Automotive Body Electronics | Industrial Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Driving small solenoids or relays in door lock actuators and mirror position controls. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-voltage N-channel switch interfacing with LIN bus transceivers and microcontroller outputs. Use Value: 60V BVDSS withstands load-dump transients up to 60V, meeting ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a immunity requirements. | Use Scenario: Isolating analog sensor outputs (e.g., thermistors, RTDs) from shared reference rails in multi-channel DAQ systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Analog switch element providing galvanic separation between signal paths. Use Value: Low Ciss (60pF) and Crss (5pF) minimize capacitive coupling and signal distortion during switching. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel low-power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZVN2106A | RDS(ON) = 6Ω @ VGS=10V; ID = 300mA; TO-92 package | Higher RDS(ON) increases conduction loss; slightly higher current rating | Preferred when marginally higher ID is needed and 1Ω higher RDS(ON) is acceptable |
| BS170 | RDS(ON) = 5Ω @ VGS=10V; BVDSS = 60V; ID = 500mA; TO-92 | Higher ID rating but unqualified for high-reliability applications per JEDEC | Acceptable for non-critical commercial designs where JEDEC qualification is not required |
Compared with ZVN2106A and BS170, VN10LPSTOB offers tighter VGS(TH) control (0.8–2.5V vs. wider ranges), JEDEC high-reliability qualification, and lower Ciss-making it preferable for noise-sensitive, logic-level-driven, and long-lifecycle industrial applications.

FAQ
Is VN10LPSTOB AEC-Q101 qualified?
No. VN10LPSTOB is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It is qualified to JEDEC high-reliability standards referenced in AEC-Q documents, but lacks formal PPAP capability, automotive change control, and IATF 16949 manufacturing certification. For automotive-grade equivalents, refer to Diodes' Q-suffix parts such as VN10LPQ.
What is the maximum operating temperature for VN10LPSTOB?
The VN10LPSTOB has an operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. At ambient temperatures above 25°C, derating applies: maximum continuous drain current decreases linearly beyond 25°C based on its 200°C/W RθJA and 625mW PD rating.
Can VN10LPSTOB be driven directly by a 3.3V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes. With a maximum gate threshold voltage of 2.5V and typical VGS(TH) of 1.5V, VN10LPSTOB fully enhances at 3.3V, delivering near-minimum RDS(ON). No gate driver is required for 270mA loads, though layout must minimize gate loop inductance for clean switching.
Why is VN10LPSTOB marked "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS"?
Diodes Incorporated issued this notice due to planned obsolescence or replacement by newer-generation devices with improved RDS(ON), thermal performance, or packaging. Existing designs may continue using VN10LPSTOB, but new designs should evaluate alternatives like VN10LPQ or ZVN2106A for long-term supply assurance.
