BSS138LT3G

onsemi · MOSFETs · SOT-23

BSS138LT3G from onsemi, in a SOT-23. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 GATE input Gate of the N-channel MOSFET, with continuous gate-to-source voltage limited to ±20 Vdc and threshold VGS(th) specified at 0.85 to 1.5 Vdc.
2 SOURCE passive Source of the N-channel MOSFET, the reference terminal for the gate-to-source voltage rating of ±20 Vdc.
3 DRAIN passive Drain of the N-channel MOSFET, rated for 50 Vdc drain-to-source voltage, 200 mA continuous drain current at TA = 25°C, and 800 mA pulsed drain current (tp ≤ 10 s).
