52 mOhm Rds(on) — the conduction-loss floor for a 2 A automotive rail
The SOT-23-6 package keeps the footprint small, but the 2 A rating means the PCB copper area under the switch must handle the dissipation: at 2 A the I²R loss is 208 mW, which in still air at 105°C ambient pushes the junction temperature near the 150°C limit unless the pad is tied to a ground plane.
SOT-23-6 — what the reflow tech needs to know
The SOT-23-6 package is a standard small-outline transistor footprint with a 0.95 mm pitch and 1.9 mm body width. It places cleanly on a two-layer board with no via-in-pad requirement. The MSL rating for this package family is typically Level 1 (260°C reflow, unlimited floor life), so no pre-bake is needed before the reflow oven — it survives the profile without popcorning.
