BSS138

onsemi

BSS138 is an onsemi N-channel logic-level small-signal MOSFET in SOT-23 — VDS 50 V, continuous drain current 0.2 A, logic-level gate drive. The logic-level threshold is the selection point: it switches fully from 3.3 V or 5 V MCU outputs with no gate driver — the classic MOSFET for I2C/SPI level shifting and small load switching. Selection advice: this is the default N-channel for bidirectional level shifters (the BSS138-plus-two-resistors circuit); check the ~3.5 Ω RDS(on) against your load current — at 200 mA it drops 0.7 V, so for higher currents step up to a larger MOSFET. onsemi lists the BSS138 as Active (BSS138LT1G). Evidence: distributor data confirms onsemi BSS138LT1G, 50 V, 0.2 A, SOT-23. Match the full BSS138 code.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

BSS138 selection guidance

BSS138 is a N-channel logic-level MOSFET from onsemi, orderable in the SOT-23 package. The ordering code fixes the exact configuration you receive — package, grade and packing — so procurement starts with matching this code character-for-character against your BOM, not just the base series name.

When you request a quote, include the full ordering code, the target packing format (reel, tube, tray or cut tape), your quantity and any date-code or lot requirements. We reconfirm manufacturer, suffix, package, date code and traceability against the actual offered lot before any commercial quote is issued, and every RFQ gets a reply within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

BSS138 FAQ

What do the suffixes in BSS138 mean?

Every suffix in a manufacturer ordering code identifies one exact orderable device — package, temperature grade, packing format or a revision. BSS138 names the SOT-23 configuration; a code that differs by even one suffix character may be a different device. Always quote the complete code exactly as it appears on your BOM.

What is the difference between package and packing for BSS138?

The package (SOT-23) is the physical form of the device itself. Packing describes how the devices are delivered — reel, tube, tray or cut tape. The same ordering code can ship in different packing formats depending on the lot, so confirm the required packing format when you submit your RFQ.

Can you provide traceability documents for BSS138?

Traceability evidence — lot and date-code information, labels and photos — is confirmed per lot at quotation time, because it depends on the actual lot offered. Tell us which documents your receiving inspection requires when you submit the RFQ, and we will confirm what can be provided for the offered lot.

How do I request a quotation for BSS138?

Add BSS138 to your RFQ with the complete ordering code, the manufacturer (onsemi), your quantity, the target packing format and any date-code requirements. We reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.
