Additional Details

The 2SJ186 typically comes in a TO-220 package. Its key electrical characteristics include a drain-source voltage (VDS) of -160V, a drain current (ID) of -7A, and a drain-source on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 0.8 ohms (typical). The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) is typically around -4V. It is designed to operate within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Proper heatsinking is crucial when operating the MOSFET at higher power levels to prevent overheating and ensure its longevity.
