Understand the difference.
Compare the meaning, drawing context and source references of two entries. A similar graphic or shared abbreviation does not establish equivalence.
P-MOS
SymbolsP-channel enhancement MOSFET
An insulated-gate transistor using a P-channel and the corresponding gate-to-source drive polarity.

- Application

- Reference family
- Manufacturer
A distinction that matters
P-channel gate drive is referenced to its own source; a flipped N-channel symbol is not an equivalent part.
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.
