Is this Mosfet good for my peripherals?
« on: January 21, 2019, 05:11:32 am »
Mosfets are confusing to me, but after doing extensive research, I found this one: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/diodes-incorporated/DMN3404L-7/DMN3404LDICT-ND/2052805

However, I am still unsure if it fits my application or is the best one for me. I should note, I am trying to go with a SOT-23 package. Here it is: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/diodes-incorporated/DMN3404L-7/DMN3404LDICT-ND/2052805

One person pointed out to me that 28mOhm at 10V gate for this Mosfet could mean that it will get too hot. Except, I have no idea how to calculate or figure out if this will be an issue for my case? I plan to use this on solenoids, LED ring and to turn on 5V vibrating motor for my OpenPNP build. Here are the specs:

Solenoid #1: 5V 1.1A
Solenoid #2: 5V 0.22A
LED ring (plan to use 6 of these) : https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/luminus-devices-inc/MP-3030-210H-40-95/1214-1604-2-ND/9593577
Vibrating motor: Not sure yet, but probably a 3V one like here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Best-Price-10x-4x8mm-DC-1-5-3V-Micro-Cell-Phone-Coreless-Vibration-Motor-Vibrator-For/32694004681.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4d65RqfR

Will this Mosfet work for these peripherals/loads? If not, please provide a detailed explanation why so I can learn.

So based on that calculation, I should be ok using this Mosfet without issues?

How do you plan to drive the gate?  Vgs is EVERYTHING.  Until this number is nailed down, everything else is a guess.

At 3V on the gate, the device is only good for 2Amps - Maximum Rating, Page 2 - so somewhere less than that.
Look at Page 2 of the datasheet and pay attention to Note 7 for vias at the mounting pads.  2 Oz copper, etc.

blueskull beat me to it, but it is worth repeating:

Include protection diodes.

May I recommend to get some different fet's (and BJT's) in TO092 housing from Ali / Ebay / China?

These fit easily in a breadboard and are also handy for prototyping. Always handy to have some lying around.
I find it hard to imagine that price can be an arguing point for 80ct for a bag of 20.

Also:
I agree with BlueSkull & Kasper.
Remember a story about an EE practicum where the Students were given MOSfet's in TO220 for experiments.
Lot's of them got damaged untill they decided to solder (SMD) TVS diodes directly to the legs of the MOSfets before giving them to the students.
