Cheaper alternative to IRLML2060

Oct 23, 2024 Last reply: 1 year ago 17 Replies

I've been looking for some time for a jelly bean MOSFET with these specs: Id(max) ~1A Vds >/= 30V Rds(on) <1 ohm Qg <1nC Ciss <100pF



A big brother to the 2N7000/7002. The IRLML2060 seems to fit the bill nicely but I'm having trouble finding it here in India. A bit pricey for a jelly bean part anyway.



Any suggestions?



Parallel a few 2n7002 ?

But seriously, there should be literally thousands of parts fitting your wants, I have found Diodes inc, Infineon, AO, Nxperia, Rohm, all have nearly identical offerings in that space. It depends so much on your favourite local distributor - do LCSC serve India?

For example BSS806 (only a 20v part so not in your spec) is as cheap as

2N7002 from some places but ten times more from others etc.

AO3400 family are cheap but miss your gate charge spec

I have AO3400 & 3401, about US$0.03 from AliExpress before India blocked the site. But these are 4-5A devices with correspondingly higher Qg and Ciss.

I need to switch about 1 amp at up to 80 volts into a resistive load, preferably logic level gate, and board area is critical. A dpak is kinda big. I wish some SOT23 could do it

I don't understand why anyone would bother to make a mosfet for 3 cents, or a diode for 1 cent, or a resistor for a tenth of a cent.

AOSS62934 - SOT-23, 100V, 2A, 0.12 ohm, 250pF, 1.8nC(4.5V). Not specifically logic level though.

My bad the PMV is 10V gate, the DMN is 5V

That's cool. I do have a 5 volt supply, and could add a sort of cap-diode thing to cheat up to 6 volts gate drive, but it looks pretty good at 5.

Thanks

The DMN is nice. Good for 10 amps with 5 volts on the gate.

7 cents by the reel!

Can you receive FedEx or USPS or UPS shipments? I could send you parts now and then.

& Vishay ?

Did you measure them? I got one batch that measured 647pF and 0.97 Vt. Later another one measured Vt = 0.87, C = 413pF. They had higher Rdson, so not really AO3400, but were closer to your spec than real AO3400. Of course, trouble with AliExpress is that you do not know what you will get, especially concerning mosfets (sellers routinly sell much smaller mosfets marked as bigger ones).

Those look like normal volume prices for comodity parts. There are computer boards with few big chips and hundreds of small parts in

20-40$ range. How much small parts can cost if board maker and middle mans make a profit?

My guys spent a day packing parts on both sides

so I'll probably have lots of room, so I can use a gigantic DPAK fet.

This layout is the "template" for a product line of PoE instruments. All the boards will have this foundation, which we call Alice. Then specific products will fill the right side with Bob parts. Alice only takes 1/3 of the board, so I probably don't need to fight for every hundredth of a square inch.

Maybe you have not thought of this, but you could go to LCSC and buy a device from China a a fraction of the cost of western suppliers

Because they sell, in other words market forces.
