    Reading N-Channel Mosfet Junctions (1N65)

    Hi.
    I have a Mosfet in a power adaptor circuit and I want to know what is the Gate, Drain and Source.
    I have a data sheet and it shows which is the gate (#1) and I assume 2 and 3 are Drain and Source.

    But when I read it with a multimeter I read that it's likely not that.
    It seems to show that wire 3 is the gate and the other two are drain and source.
    I want to know because I want to design tests on the mosfet to see if it is broken.


    However, the gate of U1 (the pulse width modulator) is connected to wire 1 indicating it IS the gate of the mosfet.

    Should I assume that I have the wrong data sheet, that not all manufacturers stick to the data sheet wiring, or something else.?

    This mosfet contains a diode, so it seems to you that the pinout is not correct.

      I want to know because I want to design tests on the mosfet to see if it is broken.
      Desolder mosfet from the circuit, clean its legs and test it with "component tester" near by. It is easyest way to test.
      Incircuit you can only check that mosfet isnt shorted... other readings may not be relevant due to rest of connected circuit.

        How do you test MOSFET in laptops ?
        by Jane
        I tried to use this method:

        Testing an N-channel MOSFET:

        Step 1: Discharge the Gate (turn off the MOSFET)
        Place the black probe (COM) on the Source (S) and the red probe on the Drain (D). The multimeter should show no continuity (high resistance or "OL" – open line).
        Then, touch the black probe to the Source (S) and the red probe to the Gate (G). This discharges any stored charge in the Gate, turning the MOSFET off.

        Step 2: Charge the Gate (turn on the MOSFET)
        Now, place the red probe on the Gate (G) and the black probe on the

        MOSFET no voltage at gate Quanta G7HA DAG7HAMB8EO
        by irfan karatela
        I'm working on a HP Pavilion Laptop Model 15-eh1508sa that is missing 19v. I've looked at the schematics and want to know what conditions the ISL9238C checks before it enables the gate for MOSFETs PQ8200 and PQ8201,

        I havent found any shorts on the board.

        I get 19v at +PRWSRC but around 1.7v at the Drain of PQ8201(+vin)

        MOSFET? Is its voltage reading normal?
        by alro7779
        Hello, guys!
        Got this 8-pin MOSFET (I presume) on the motherboard that I'm still trying to repair (HP Stream 11-ah117wm DAY0HGMB6C1 REV:C), close to the DC IN connector, and when I read voltage on Drain (5-8 pins) and Source (1-3 pins), I got the 19.81 VDC of the DC IN on each, but on the Gate (pin 4) it's 25 VDC. Is it normal? Now, I'm not quite sure the component is a MOSFET, but it looks like, and since it has the printed code on it totally unreadable, I can't try to find the datasheet. Can anyone give me a hand on this? Or maybe ff there's some MOSFET tutorial or something that you can...

        ASUS ROG Zephyrus GPU Mosfet repeat failure
        by MicroSMD Lab
        The board number is GU502DU. I repaired this a couple weeks ago and it came back with the same issue, same mosfet failed (PQH9201). I'm hoping that the GPU was spared this time.
        I used the same replacement part (purchased from Mouser) and I'm certain the soldering was done properly since it took just as much effort to remove as before. What could cause this same mosfet to fail? I'm thinking if it was unsuitable then the others would fail too. I looked for similar failures on YTube and the mosfet was replaced with AOE6930 in one instance and AOE6932 in the other but it's possible that the...
