ELM18810BA MOSFET — Specifications & Equivalents
About the ELM18810BA
The ELM18810BA is an N-channel MOSFET with a drain–source voltage (VDS) rating of 20 V, a continuous drain current (ID) of 7 A and an on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 0.02 Ω. It can dissipate up to 1.5 W and is rated to a junction temperature of 150 °C. It is supplied in the TSSOP-8 package.

Typical applications
With its 20 V drain–source rating the ELM18810BA 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.
The low 0.02 Ω on-resistance keeps conduction loss down, which suits synchronous rectification and continuous high-current paths.
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 12.7 ns and an output capacitance (Coss) of 187 pF, which together with the gate drive determines switching loss and the practical upper frequency limit.
Choosing a replacement for the ELM18810BA
A drop-in substitute for the ELM18810BA must be the same N-channel type and offer a drain–source rating of at least 20 V, a continuous drain current rating of at least 7 A and an on-resistance no higher than 0.02 Ω if efficiency and heat matter.
Mechanically, check the replacement against the TSSOP-8 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 ELM18810BA?
The ELM18810BA is an N-channel MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 20 V drain-source and 7 A continuous drain current.
What is the maximum voltage of the ELM18810BA?
The ELM18810BA 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 ELM18810BA handle?
It is rated for 7 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 1.5 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.
What is the on-resistance of the ELM18810BA?
On-resistance (Rds(on)) is 0.02 Ω. Multiply by the square of your load current to estimate conduction loss.
What package does the ELM18810BA come in?
It is listed in TSSOP-8. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.
What can I use to replace the ELM18810BA?
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.
