Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2N7002P,235 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Drain-to-source voltage rating (Vdss) must equal or exceed 60V
• Continuous drain current (Id) must meet or exceed 360mA at 25°C
• On-state resistance (Rds On) must not exceed 1.6 Ohm at specified conditions
• Gate threshold voltage (Vgs(th)) must be compatible with 2.4V maximum
• Power dissipation capability must support 350mW minimum

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package type must be TO-236AB, SC-59, or SOT-23-3 (physically equivalent)
• Mounting type must be surface mount
• Pin configuration must match TO-236-3 standard

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1 or better
• REACH unaffected status

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: Parametric Equivalents (identical electrical specifications from the same manufacturer) and Similar Alternatives (functionally compatible parts from different manufacturers with comparable or superior electrical characteristics).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Parametric Equivalent (Direct Replacement):

The 2N7002P,215 from Nexperia USA Inc. provides identical electrical specifications to the 2N7002P,235, including 60V Vdss, 360mA continuous drain current, and 1.6 Ohm Rds On. Both devices are housed in TO-236AB packages and maintain RoHS3 compliance. The primary difference is AEC-Q100 qualification for the 2N7002P,215 versus AEC-Q101 for the main part. Both are classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating similar end-of-life status. This part is suitable for direct substitution in existing designs where inventory of the 2N7002P,235 is depleted.

Active Alternatives for New Designs:

The 2N7002K from Good-Ark Semiconductor and 2N7002K_R1_00001 from Panjit International Inc. are active products with superior electrical performance. Both deliver 300mA continuous drain current (below the 360mA specification) but offer significantly lower on-state resistance (0.3 Ohm and 3.0 Ohm respectively at 10V). The 2N7002K provides extended operating temperature range to 175°C and higher power dissipation capability (430mW). These alternatives are suitable for new design implementations where the reduced current rating is acceptable and improved thermal performance is beneficial.

Limited Current Application:

The 2N7002 TR13 PBFREE from Central Semiconductor Corp is an active product with identical 60V Vdss rating but reduced continuous drain current of 115mA and significantly higher on-state resistance of 7.5 Ohm. This part is suitable only for applications where drain current requirements do not exceed 115mA. Extended operating temperature range to -65°C provides advantage in extreme cold environments.

Compliance Considerations:

All listed substitutes maintain RoHS3 compliance, MSL-1 rating, and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility with the original 2N7002P,235. Automotive-grade applications requiring AEC-Q101 qualification should prioritize the 2N7002P,215 or evaluate alternative qualified sources.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2N7002P,215 be used as a direct replacement for the 2N7002P,235?

A: Yes. The 2N7002P,215 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications: 60V Vdss, 360mA continuous drain current, 1.6 Ohm Rds On, and 350mW power dissipation. Both use TO-236AB packaging and are pin-compatible. The primary difference is AEC-Q100 versus AEC-Q101 qualification. Verify qualification requirements for your application before substitution.

Q: Why does the 2N7002K show lower drain current (300mA) than the main part (360mA)?

A: The 2N7002K is rated for 300mA continuous drain current at 25°C, which is below the 360mA specification of the 2N7002P,235. This part is suitable only for applications where actual drain current does not exceed 300mA. The 2N7002K offers superior on-state resistance (0.3 Ohm) and higher power dissipation capability (430mW), making it advantageous for low-resistance switching applications within its current rating.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same package?

A: The 2N7002P,215 is available in TO-236AB packaging, identical to the main part. The 2N7002K, 2N7002K_R1_00001, and 2N7002 TR13 PBFREE are available in SOT-23 packaging. While TO-236AB and SOT-23 are physically equivalent three-pin surface mount packages with identical pin configurations, verify PCB footprint compatibility before substitution.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for new design implementations?

A: The 2N7002K from Good-Ark Semiconductor is recommended for new designs. It is an active product with superior electrical performance, including lower on-state resistance (0.3 Ohm) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C). The 2N7002K_R1_00001 from Panjit International Inc. is also active and suitable for new designs. Both parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL-1 rating. Verify that the 300mA continuous drain current rating meets application requirements.

Q: What is the significance of "Not For New Designs" status?

A: "Not For New Designs" indicates the part has reached end-of-life and is no longer recommended for new product development. Existing inventory may be available for legacy product support and maintenance. For new designs, select from active alternatives such as the 2N7002K or 2N7002K_R1_00001.

Q: Are there temperature range differences between substitutes?

A: Yes. The main part and 2N7002P,215 operate from -55°C to 150°C. The 2N7002 TR13 PBFREE extends to -65°C minimum, suitable for extreme cold environments. The 2N7002K extends to 175°C maximum, providing advantage in high-temperature applications. The 2N7002K_R1_00001 maintains -55°C to 150°C range. Select based on specific thermal requirements.

Q: Do all substitutes meet automotive qualification standards?

A: The 2N7002P,235 carries AEC-Q101 qualification, and the 2N7002P,215 carries AEC-Q100 qualification. The 2N7002K, 2N7002K_R1_00001, and 2N7002 TR13 PBFREE do not list automotive qualification in the provided specifications. For automotive applications requiring AEC qualification, the 2N7002P,215 is the appropriate substitute.

Q: What is the difference between Rds On specifications at different current and voltage levels?

A: On-state resistance varies with gate-source voltage (Vgs) and drain current (Id). The 2N7002P,235 specifies 1.6 Ohm at 500mA drain current and 10V gate voltage. The 2N7002K specifies 0.3 Ohm at 500mA and 4.5V, and 600mOhm at 300mA and 4.5V. Lower Rds On values indicate reduced power dissipation during conduction. Compare specifications at the actual operating conditions of your application.

Q: Is moisture sensitivity level (MSL) the same across all parts?

A: Yes. All listed parts, including the main part and all substitutes, carry MSL-1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity concerns. Standard handling and storage procedures apply without special moisture control requirements.
