P1402CDG MOSFET — Specifications & Equivalents
About the P1402CDG
The P1402CDG is an N-channel MOSFET with a drain–source voltage (VDS) rating of 20 V, a continuous drain current (ID) of 45 A and an on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 0.012 Ω. It can dissipate up to 48 W and is rated to a junction temperature of 175 °C. It is supplied in the TO252 package.

Typical applications
With its 20 V drain–source rating the P1402CDG 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 0.012 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 ±12 V maximum; exceeding it punctures the gate oxide and destroys the device permanently.
Switching behaviour is characterised by a rise time of 83 ns and an output capacitance (Coss) of 364 pF, which together with the gate drive determines switching loss and the practical upper frequency limit.
Choosing a replacement for the P1402CDG
A drop-in substitute for the P1402CDG 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 45 A and an on-resistance no higher than 0.012 Ω if efficiency and heat matter.
Mechanically, check the replacement against the TO252 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 P1402CDG?
The P1402CDG is an N-channel MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). It is rated for 20 V drain-source and 45 A continuous drain current.
What is the maximum voltage of the P1402CDG?
The P1402CDG 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 P1402CDG handle?
It is rated for 45 A of continuous drain current, with power dissipation limited to 48 W. Real-world capability depends on your heatsinking and ambient temperature.
What is the on-resistance of the P1402CDG?
On-resistance (Rds(on)) is 0.012 Ω. Multiply by the square of your load current to estimate conduction loss.
What package does the P1402CDG come in?
It is listed in TO252. Verify the pinout of the specific variant, as one outline can carry different pin assignments.
What can I use to replace the P1402CDG?
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.
