Understand the difference.
Compare the meaning, drawing context and source references of two entries. A similar graphic or shared abbreviation does not establish equivalence.
BODY-D
SymbolsMOSFET body diode
The intrinsic diode associated with a MOSFET's semiconductor structure, often shown within the device reference.
- Drawing use
- Schematic
- Application
- Electronic components
- Reference family
- Manufacturer
A distinction that matters
The body diode is internal to the MOSFET; its presence does not establish that an external freewheeling diode is unnecessary.
N-MOS
SymbolsN-channel enhancement MOSFET
An insulated-gate transistor whose N-channel conduction is enabled by the documented gate-to-source drive.
- Drawing use
- Schematic
- Application
- Electronic components
- Reference family
- Manufacturer
A distinction that matters
Enhancement mode differs from depletion mode; a MOSFET gate must not be treated as a bipolar base-current input.
