ELM17600GA MOSFET — Specifications & Equivalents
About the ELM17600GA
The ELM17600GA is a complementary N- and P-channel MOSFET with a drain–source voltage (VDS) rating of 20 V, a continuous drain current (ID) of 0.9 A and an on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 0.3 Ω. It can dissipate up to 0.3 W and is rated to a junction temperature of 150 °C. It is supplied in the SC-70-6 package.

Typical applications
With its 20 V drain–source rating the ELM17600GA sits in the very-low-voltage class of switching MOSFETs, typically found in battery protection and power-path switching, point-of-load converters and logic-level load switching in portable devices.
At 0.9 A it is aimed at small-signal and light-load switching rather than power conversion.
Gate drive and switching notes
Keep gate–source voltage within the ±8 V maximum; exceeding it punctures the gate oxide and destroys the device permanently.
Switching behaviour is characterised by a rise time of 4 ns and an output capacitance (Coss) of 17 pF, which together with the gate drive determines switching loss and the practical upper frequency limit.
Choosing a replacement for the ELM17600GA
A drop-in substitute for the ELM17600GA must be the same complementary N- and P-channel type and offer a drain–source rating of at least 20 V, a continuous drain current rating of at least 0.9 A and an on-resistance no higher than 0.3 Ω if efficiency and heat matter.
Mechanically, check the replacement against the SC-70-6 footprint and confirm the pin order — parts sharing a package outline do not always share a pinout.
Where the application switches inductive loads or runs near the voltage limit, keep extra headroom rather than choosing a part that only just meets the original numbers.
Frequently asked questions
What is the ELM17600GA?
The ELM17600GA is a complementary N- and P-channel MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 20 V drain-source and 0.9 A continuous drain current.
What is the maximum voltage of the ELM17600GA?
The ELM17600GA has a maximum drain-source voltage (Vds) of 20 V. Treat this as an absolute maximum and design with margin, especially when switching inductive loads.
How much current can the ELM17600GA handle?
It is rated for 0.9 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 0.3 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.
What is the on-resistance of the ELM17600GA?
On-resistance (Rds(on)) is 0.3 Ω. Multiply by the square of your load current to estimate conduction loss.
What package does the ELM17600GA come in?
It is listed in SC-70-6. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.
What can I use to replace the ELM17600GA?
No verified equivalents are listed yet. Choose a part of the same polarity that meets or exceeds every rating above and shares a compatible package and pinout.
