Small-signal P-Channel load switch for 3.3 V and 5 V rails
The Infineon BSS223PWH6327XTSA1 is a P-Channel enhancement-mode MOSFET from the OptiMOS series, rated for 20 V drain-source and 390 mA continuous drain current. Packaged in a SOT-323 (PG-SOT323) surface-mount case, it is designed for low-voltage load switching, battery protection, and power-rail isolation in space-constrained designs. The 1.2 Ohm maximum on-resistance at 4.5 V gate drive keeps conduction loss manageable for loads up to a few hundred milliamps. Operating junction temperature spans -55°C to 150°C, suiting it for industrial and automotive environments where ambient heat or nearby power stages raise the board temperature.
Gate drive and switching behaviour
Gate threshold voltage maxes at 1.2 V at 1.5 µA drain current. Recommended drive voltage range is 2.5 V to 4.5 V for minimum on-resistance.
Package and footprint
The SOT-323 (PG-SOT323) package is a surface-mount case. Power dissipation is limited to 250 mW at ambient temperature.
