Target product summary

BSS138L

BSS138L is onsemi's SOT-23-3 N-channel logic-level enhancement mode MOSFET rated 50 V VDS, 200 mA ID, 3.5 Ω Rds(on) at Vgs = 4.5 V, 350 mW Pd. onsemi product page (2025) shows lifecycle status 'Last Shipments' — the onsemi lifecycle glossary defines 'Last Shipments' as a 6-month period of final shipments, after which the part becomes Obsolete. DigiKey lists Part Status as 'Obsolete' for BSS138L. Direct P2P drop-in: Diodes Incorporated BSS138-7-F (SOT-23-3, 50 V, 200 mA, 3.5 Ω Rds(on)) — identical pinout and pin-for-pin spec match.
