The 2N7000 and BS170 are N-channel, enhancement-mode MOSFETs used for low-power switching applications. The two are nearly identical except that the leads are arranged differently and the current ratings are somewhat different; they are typically listed together on the same datasheet, along with other variants 2N7002, VQ1000J, and VQ1000P.
The 2N7000 is a widely available and popular part, often recommended as useful and common components to have around for hobbyist use.
The 2N7002 is a slightly higher resistance, lower current variant, in a TO-236 package. Packaged in a TO92 enclosure, the 2N7000 is a 60 V devices, capable of switching 200 mA (2N7000) with a maximum on-resistance of 5 Ω at 10 V Vgs. The 2N7000 has been referred to as a "FETlington" and as an "absolutely ideal hacker part."
A typical use of these transistors is as a switch for moderate voltages and currents, including as drivers for small lamps, motors, and relays. In switching circuits, these FETs can be used much like bipolar junction transistors, but have some advantages:
- low threshold voltage means no gate bias required
- high input impedance of the insulated gate means almost no gate current is required
- consequently no current-limiting resistor is required in the gate input
The main disadvantages of these FETs over bipolar transistors in switching are the following:
- susceptibility to cumulative damage from static discharge prior to installation
- circuits with external gate exposure require a protection gate resistor or other static discharge protection
- Non-zero ohmic response when driven to saturation, as compared to a constant junction voltage drop in a bipolar junction transistor
The circuit symbol for the 2N7000 generally does not show the internal diode formed by the substrate connection source to drain.
