EMB12P03V MOSFET — Specifications & Equivalents
About the EMB12P03V
The EMB12P03V is a P-channel MOSFET with a drain–source voltage (VDS) rating of 30 V, a continuous drain current (ID) of 21 A and an on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 0.012 Ω. It can dissipate up to 2.5 W and is rated to a junction temperature of 150 °C. It is supplied in the EDFN3X3 package.

Typical applications
With its 30 V drain–source rating the EMB12P03V sits in the low-voltage class of switching MOSFETs, typically found in 12 V and 24 V automotive and industrial rails, synchronous buck converters, load switching and reverse-polarity protection and H-bridges for small motors.
The low 0.012 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 ±20 V maximum; exceeding it punctures the gate oxide and destroys the device permanently.
Switching behaviour is characterised by a rise time of 12 ns and an output capacitance (Coss) of 385 pF, which together with the gate drive determines switching loss and the practical upper frequency limit.
Choosing a replacement for the EMB12P03V
A drop-in substitute for the EMB12P03V must be the same P-channel type and offer a drain–source rating of at least 30 V, a continuous drain current rating of at least 21 A and an on-resistance no higher than 0.012 Ω if efficiency and heat matter.
Mechanically, check the replacement against the EDFN3X3 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 EMB12P03V?
The EMB12P03V is a P-channel MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 30 V drain-source and 21 A continuous drain current.
What is the maximum voltage of the EMB12P03V?
The EMB12P03V has a maximum drain-source voltage (Vds) of 30 V. Treat this as an absolute maximum and design with margin, especially when switching inductive loads.
How much current can the EMB12P03V handle?
It is rated for 21 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 2.5 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.
What is the on-resistance of the EMB12P03V?
On-resistance (Rds(on)) is 0.012 Ω. Multiply by the square of your load current to estimate conduction loss.
What package does the EMB12P03V come in?
It is listed in EDFN3X3. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.
What can I use to replace the EMB12P03V?
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.
