The BSS138, manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, is an N-Channel Enhancement Mode MOSFET designed for high-efficiency power management applications. This component features a low on-resistance (RDS(ON)) of 3.5Ω at VGS = 10V and a drain-source voltage (BVDSS) of 50V, making it ideal for system/load switching applications. Key benefits include a low gate threshold voltage, low input capacitance, and fast switching speed, ensuring superior performance in various electronic circuits. The BSS138 is available in a SOT23 package and is fully RoHS compliant, halogen and antimony-free, and classified as a "Green" device, suitable for environmentally conscious designs. Additionally, an automotive-compliant version (BSS138Q) is available for applications requiring stringent change control and high reliability, adhering to AEC-Q100/101/200 standards.
