P-channel load switch in a SOT-23
The Infineon BSS314PEH6327XTSA1 is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET from the OptiMOS series, rated for 30 V drain-source and 1.5 A continuous drain current in a SOT-23-3 package. It is designed for low-side load switching, battery protection, and power management in space-constrained boards — think portable devices, IoT nodes, or automotive body modules where you need to disconnect a load without a negative supply rail.
Package and mounting
SOT-23-3 (PG-SOT23) is a standard three-lead surface-mount package. The small footprint saves board space but limits thermal dissipation — the 500 mW rating assumes minimal copper on the PCB. For higher continuous current, use wider traces and a ground plane under the drain pad to pull heat away.
Lifecycle and compliance
ROHS3 compliant, so it passes the latest EU restriction directives. The OptiMOS series is a mature Infineon platform with broad distribution support.
