Check low-side switching

Required

Use a 1 kΩ load and a 5 V current-limited supply. With a common ground, drive the gate first to 0 V and then to 10 V.

Bench checks

  • At 0 V gate drive, the drain should be near 5 V. At 10 V the drain should fall close to ground.
  • This is a function check at roughly 5 mA. Check the exact device limits before choosing a logic-level gate drive or a higher load.

Models and documents

The reported K72 K 4 has three leads (1+2). That fits the documented single MOSFETs in SOT-23, SOT-323 or SOT-523 and rules out the six-lead 2N7002DW for this specimen. Measure the moulded body, excluding leads: roughly 2.9 mm for SOT-23, 2.0 mm for SOT-323 and 1.6 mm for SOT-523. Diodes documents K72 plus a separate two-character date code; the format alone does not identify the manufacturer.
