P-channel 60 V switch in a TO-252
The NP15P06SLG-E1-AY: Housed in the TO-252-3 (DPak) surface-mount package, it suits automated assembly.
The gate threshold voltage is specified at 2.5 V maximum with 250 µA drain current, so a 3.3 V logic-level gate drive turns the device on, though the 10 V drive level yields the lowest Rds(on). Gate charge totals 23 nC at 10 V — a 1 A gate driver charges the gate in 23 ns, but the practical switching speed is limited by the 1100 pF input capacitance and the gate-drive loop inductance.
Thermal limits and derating
Maximum junction temperature is 175 °C, allowing operation in high-ambient environments such as under-hood automotive or industrial enclosures. Power dissipation is rated at 1.2 W at 25 °C ambient (no heatsink) and 30 W at 25 °C case temperature — the actual usable current at elevated ambient drops per the derating curve, and the 15 A rating assumes the case is held at 25 °C.
