2x 2N7000 - N-Channel MOSFETtransistor - 200mA 60 Vdc

A MOSFET (type N) transistor with 200mA current

This transistor is the equivalet of the NPN transistor but with a MOSFET N Channel. It has a RDS(on) (Drain-Source) around 1.5 Ohms and can drive a current relatively big for its size without an excessive power dissipation (heat).

The other point interesting with the transistor is the Vgs(th) switching voltage (Gate Threasold Voltage) around 2.1 Volts (it depends on the temperature and the building batch), so the transistor could be used with 5V and 3.3V, the switching voltage of the transistor seems to stay under 2.5V (as mentionned in the datasheet). 

The Channel-N / Type-N are very useful and widely used... exactly like the NPN transistor. The N Channel MOSFET are more common than their P channel equivalent (a P channel is like a PNP transistor).

This product is not a power transistor like our STP16NF06 oe l'IRF540 ... some of the most popular Power MOSFET in the Maker's world.
The 2N700 transistor will be more suited to amplify a digital signal, drive a relay, drive LEDs or any commutation application.

We can also suggest the usage of 100 KOhms resistors (as suggested in our tutorial)
