BS170FTC

Single FETs, MOSFETs Overview

The BS170FTC is an N-channel enhancement-mode vertical DMOS FET manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It is housed in a SOT-23 surface-mount package and rated for a drain-source breakdown voltage (VDS) of 60 V. The device features a maximum on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 5 Ω at a gate-source voltage (VGS) of 10 V and a drain current (ID) of 150 µA. It supports continuous drain currents up to 500 mA and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single FETs, MOSFETs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TC' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications and binning requirements. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance standards required for your assembly process. Cross-reference the Mouser part number 621-BS170FTC with the original Diodes Incorporated documentation to validate all electrical parameters before finalizing procurement decisions.

Single FETs, MOSFETs Selection Notes

Select this component when a small-form-factor N-channel MOSFET is required for low-current switching tasks. The 60 V rating provides adequate headroom for standard 5 V and 12 V logic systems. Consider the 5 Ω RDS(on) characteristic for efficiency calculations in battery-operated applications where leakage and conduction losses are critical factors.

Single FETs, MOSFETs Part Context

This part belongs to the BS170 family of N-channel MOSFETs produced by Diodes Incorporated. The series includes variants such as the through-hole TO-92 BS170 and other surface-mount options. These components are widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control panels due to their reliability and cost-effectiveness in basic transistor switching roles.

Single FETs, MOSFETs Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the BS170F and BS170G from Diodes Incorporated, which share similar electrical characteristics but may differ in packaging or specific parameter tolerances. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance when substituting.
