Additional Details:

The SST175 typically operates with a drain-source voltage (VDS) range of up to 25V and a gate-source voltage (VGS) range of up to -25V. Its maximum drain current (ID) is typically around 30mA. The device is commonly available in TO-92 packaging. The key parameters to consider when designing with the SST175 are its gate-source cutoff voltage (VGS(off)), transconductance (gm), and drain current at zero gate voltage (IDSS). These parameters vary between individual devices, so it is important to consult the manufacturer's datasheet for specific values and design considerations.
