Product Description: BSS138 SOT23 50V 350mA MOSFET
The BSS138 is a high-performance N-Channel MOSFET designed for use in low-voltage switching and signal amplification applications. Packaged in the compact and space-efficient SOT-23 form factor, the BSS138 is ideally suited for low-power circuits, logic-level switching, and small signal amplification. With a drain-source voltage (V_DS) rating of 50V and a continuous drain current (I_D) of up to 350mA, this MOSFET is perfect for small-scale power control and electronic projects requiring efficient switching and low conduction losses.
The BSS138 features a low gate threshold voltage (V_GS(th)), typically around 1.3V, which allows it to switch on with a lower voltage, making it ideal for logic-level switching in 5V or 3.3V circuits. The low R_DS(on) ensures minimal power dissipation during operation, making the BSS138 a highly efficient component for battery-powered systems, power management, and digital logic circuits.
Additionally, the BSS138 is RoHS compliant, meaning it adheres to environmental standards by being free from hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium.
Key Features:
