BSS138AKAR Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BSS138AKAR is a single N-Channel enhancement-mode MOSFET manufactured by Nexperia using Trench MOSFET technology. It is designed for low-power switching applications and is housed in a compact SOT23 (TO-236AB) surface-mount plastic package. The device is rated for a maximum drain-source voltage of 60V and a maximum drain current of 200mA at VGS=10V and Tamb=25°C. It features a low maximum drain-source on-state resistance of 4.5Ω at ID=100mA and VGS=10V, and a low gate threshold voltage of 1.5V at ID=250mA, enabling efficient low-voltage switching.

 

This MOSFET offers very fast switching performance and includes ESD protection, making it suitable for high-speed line drivers and relay driver circuits. It is also qualified to AEC-Q101, indicating suitability for automotive applications. The device operates over a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and can dissipate up to 300mW at an ambient temperature of 25°C, or 1.06W at a case temperature of 25°C.

 

The BSS138AKAR is supplied in a SOT23 package with a body size of 2.9mm x 1.3mm x 1mm and a 1.9mm terminal pitch, suitable for automated surface-mount assembly. The gate-source voltage rating is ±20V, and the device has a low input capacitance of 47pF at VDS=30V, contributing to its fast switching characteristics. Typical applications include low-side load switches, switching circuits, and high-speed line drivers.
