Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices

Parameter 2N7002K-T1-E3 2N7002,215 Why it matters
Drain-Source Voltage (Vds) 60 V 60 V Sets the maximum voltage the device can block; identical ratings mean both can be used in the same voltage domain.
Continuous Drain Current (Id) 300 mA 300 mA Defines the maximum continuous current the MOSFET can carry; matching values indicate equivalent current-handling capability.
Drain-Source On-Resistance (Rds(on)) 1.2 Ω @ Vgs=10V, Id=0.5A 1.2 Ω @ Vgs=10V, Id=0.5A Determines conduction losses; identical Rds(on) means similar efficiency and thermal behavior in switching applications.
Gate Threshold Voltage (Vgs(th)) 1.0 V to 2.5 V 1.0 V to 2.5 V Affects the logic level at which the device turns on; matching ranges ensure compatibility with the same gate drive circuitry.
Gate-Source Voltage (Vgs max) ±20 V ±20 V Specifies the maximum safe gate drive voltage; identical limits mean the same driver protection is sufficient.
Power Dissipation (Pd) 350 mW 350 mW Indicates the maximum power the package can dissipate; equal ratings imply comparable thermal design requirements.
Input Capacitance (Ciss) 50 pF 50 pF Influences switching speed and gate drive requirements; matching capacitance supports similar dynamic performance.
Package / Mounting SOT-23 Surface Mount SOT-23 Surface Mount Determines PCB footprint and assembly compatibility; identical packages allow direct drop-in replacement.

Frequently asked questions

What are the main differences between the 2N7002K-T1-E3 and the 2N7002,215?

The 2N7002K-T1-E3 is a Vishay Siliconix N-channel MOSFET supplied in a TO-236 (SOT-23) package and is RoHS-compliant with a lead-free (matte tin) finish, while the 2N7002,215 is a Nexperia (formerly NXP) N-channel MOSFET in a TO-236AB (SOT-23) package. Both are 60 V, 300 mA small-signal MOSFETs, but they differ in manufacturer, package suffix, and specific electrical limits such as RDS(on) and gate threshold voltage.

Are the 2N7002K-T1-E3 and 2N7002,215 pin-compatible?

Yes. Both devices use the standard SOT-23 (TO-236) 3-pin package with the same pinout: pin 1 = gate, pin 2 = source, pin 3 = drain. This allows them to share the same PCB footprint, but electrical differences must still be verified before substitution.

What is the drain-source voltage (VDS) rating for each part?

Both the 2N7002K-T1-E3 and the 2N7002,215 have a maximum drain-source voltage (VDS) rating of 60 V, as specified in their respective manufacturer datasheets.

What is the continuous drain current (ID) rating for these MOSFETs?

Both the 2N7002K-T1-E3 and the 2N7002,215 are rated for a continuous drain current (ID) of 300 mA at 25 °C ambient temperature, per their manufacturer datasheets.

How do the RDS(on) values compare between the 2N7002K-T1-E3 and 2N7002,215?

The 2N7002K-T1-E3 specifies RDS(on) of 1.2 Ω typical and 2 Ω maximum at VGS = 10 V, while the 2N7002,215 specifies RDS(on) of 1.6 Ω typical and 2.5 Ω maximum at VGS = 10 V. The 2N7002K-T1-E3 therefore offers slightly lower on-resistance under the same test conditions.

What are the gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) specifications for these parts?

The 2N7002K-T1-E3 has a gate threshold voltage range of 1.0 V to 2.5 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 µA. The 2N7002,215 has a gate threshold voltage range of 1.0 V to 2.5 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 µA. Both parts share the same threshold window per their datasheets.

Can the 2N7002K-T1-E3 and 2N7002,215 be used interchangeably in a design?

They can be considered functionally similar because both are 60 V, 300 mA N-channel MOSFETs in the SOT-23 package with the same pinout. However, because RDS(on) and other parameters differ slightly, a direct substitution should only be made after confirming that the target circuit tolerates the differences in on-resistance, gate charge, and thermal behavior against the manufacturer datasheets.

What are the package and mounting styles for these two MOSFETs?

Both the 2N7002K-T1-E3 and the 2N7002,215 are supplied in surface-mount SOT-23 (TO-236) packages. The 2N7002K-T1-E3 uses the TO-236 designation from Vishay, while the 2N7002,215 uses the TO-236AB designation from Nexperia; both are equivalent JEDEC SOT-23 outlines.

Do these MOSFETs differ in RoHS or lead-free status?

The 2N7002K-T1-E3 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with a matte tin terminal finish as stated by Vishay. The 2N7002,215 is also RoHS-compliant and lead-free per Nexperia. Both meet current environmental compliance requirements, but designers should confirm the specific finish and compliance documentation from the manufacturer for their application.
