Available in To-92 Package Note: Complete Technical Details can be found at the 2N7000 datasheet given at the end of this page. 2N7000 Equivalent N-Channel MOSFET: BS170, NTE 491, IRF3205, IRF540N, IRF9Z34N, IRFP250N, IRFZ44. Where to use 2N7000: 2N7000 is a small signal N-channel MOSFET. MOSFET’s are power electronic switches just like transistors, but with a higher current and voltage rating. The 2N7000 MOSFET can be used to switch loads which operates on less than 60V (VDS) and 200mA (ID). This mosfet comes in a compact TO-92 package and has a threshold voltage of 3V, hence if you looking for a small mosfet to switch a load then this IC could suit your purpose. How to use 2N7000: A Mosfet has three terminals Drain, source and Gate. Current always flows in through the Drain and flows out through the Source. The Gate pin acts as a switch for turning ON or OFF the mosfet. If the gate is connected to Ground then the mosfet is off that is there will be no connection between Drain and source (Open). If the Gate is provided with its gate source V
