As the subject suggests, how easy is it to replace a p-channel mosfet
with a n-channel moset?

P-channels are very hard to find, and i cant get a replacement for one
that burnt out on a car stereo. Lots of n-channels around though. is it
easy just to plonk them in, and use a bit of trickery to make them go?

Maybe in reverse or something.. i guess theres certain procedures laid
out for this now. I dont wanna rip the whole circuit to bits, but the
stero (cd/mp3 player) is worth repairing if its gonna work.

It was a D15P05 that burnt out.
15A, 50V, 0.150 Ohm, P-Channel Power MOSFET.

Closest i could find to buy locally was a 2sj16012, half the power, and
bloody expsensive.


You'd have to redesign the whole circuit, they use a more expensive P
channel part for a reason, an N channel is not suitable.
