Product details
Overview
BSS123L7874XT from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode logic-level SIPMOS small-signal MOSFET with VDS = 100 V, RDS(on) ≤ 6 Ω at VGS = 10 V, ID = 0.17 A, and gate threshold voltage VGS(th) = 0.8–2.0 V; used in low-power load switching and level-shifted gate drive circuits for microcontroller outputs.
For engineers reviewing the BSS123L7874XT datasheet, BSS123L7874XT pinout, BSS123L7874XT application, or BSS123L7874XT equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) ≤ 2.0 V), 100 V blocking capability, SOT-23 thermal resistance (RthJA ≤ 350 K/W), and integrated body diode forward voltage (VSD = 0.85–1.3 V).
Technical Context
This discrete N-channel MOSFET operates in enhancement mode with a logic-compatible gate threshold, enabling direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers without external level-shifting. Its SIPMOS process delivers stable RDS(on) over temperature and low gate charge (Ciss = 65–85 pF, Crss = 4–6 pF) for fast switching in low-duty-cycle applications.
The device integrates a monolithic body diode rated for 0.17 A continuous forward current (IS) and 0.68 A pulsed (ISM), with VSD = 0.85 V typical at IF = 0.34 A and Tj = 25 °C - suitable for freewheeling in inductive loads like relays and solenoids.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V - supports off-state blocking in 24 V industrial control and 48 V telecom power rails |
| RDS(on) | ≤ 6 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 0.17 A - ensures < 170 mW conduction loss at max DC current |
| VGS(th) | 0.8–2.0 V - guarantees turn-on with standard 3.3 V GPIOs, no external bias needed |
| ID (continuous) | 0.17 A @ TA = 28 °C - defines safe steady-state load current in SOT-23 package |
| Ciss | 65–85 pF @ VDS = 25 V - determines gate drive strength requirement for < 10 ns switching |
| VSD | 0.85–1.3 V @ IF = 0.34 A - sets freewheeling voltage drop and associated power dissipation |
| td(on) | 5–8 ns @ VDD = 30 V, RGS = 50 Ω - enables high-frequency PWM control up to ~20 MHz |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) 3-pin plastic surface-mount package with gull-wing leads; compact footprint (2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm), JEDEC-compliant, rated for -55 °C to +150 °C junction operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (G) | Gate | Logic-level input controlling channel conduction; requires ≤ 2.0 V to initiate turn-on |
| Pin 2 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return path; tied to ground or low-side reference |
| Pin 3 (D) | Drain | High-side load connection point; withstands 100 V transient spikes in relay/solenoid drive |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) ≤ 2.0 V enables direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V MCUs without level shifters |
| Low RDS(on) drift vs. temperature | RDS(on) increases only ~15% from 25 °C to 125 °C - improves thermal stability in sealed enclosures |
| Integrated body diode | Rated IS = 0.17 A, VSD = 0.85 V typ - eliminates need for external flyback diode in relay drivers |
| ESD robustness | HBM Class 1 (≥ 2 kV) - survives handling and board assembly without special precautions |
Applications
| Relay Driver Circuit | Microcontroller GPIO Expander |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 24 V DC coil relays in PLC I/O modules where space and component count are constrained. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch controlling relay coil current; turns on/off within 10 ns to support fast polling cycles.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2004LK-7 | RDS(on) = 3.5 Ω @ VGS = 4.5 V (vs. 6 Ω for BSS123); higher Ciss = 100 pF | Better conduction efficiency below 100 mA but slower switching due to higher capacitance | Prefer for low-loss linear regulation; avoid if >5 MHz PWM is required |
| 2N7002K-T1-E3 | VDS = 60 V (vs. 100 V); RDS(on) = 3 Ω @ VGS = 10 V; lower cost | Not suitable for 48 V or 24 V systems with surge transients exceeding 60 V | Select only for 5–12 V logic-controlled loads with strict cost targets |
Compared with DMN2004LK-7 and 2N7002K-T1-E3, BSS123L7874XT uniquely balances 100 V rating, logic-level gate, and SOT-23 thermal performance - making it optimal for industrial 24/48 V load switching where voltage margin and MCU compatibility are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for BSS123L7874XT at 70 °C ambient?
At TA = 70 °C, the maximum continuous drain current is derated to approximately 0.11 A, based on the published ID vs. TA curve (Data Sheet 5) and Ptot = 0.36 W at 25 °C with RthJA ≤ 350 K/W. This reflects thermal limits of the SOT-23 package under natural convection.
Does BSS123L7874XT have avalanche rating?
No, the datasheets do not specify single-pulse or repetitive avalanche energy (EAS) ratings. The device is characterized for safe operating area (SOA) under resistive and inductive loads but is not qualified for unclamped inductive switching without external protection.
Can BSS123L7874XT be used in linear (ohmic) mode for analog current regulation?
Yes - its RDS(on) is specified down to VGS = 4.5 V and exhibits monotonic transfer characteristics (Data Sheet 6). For stable linear operation, maintain VDS < 10 V and Tj < 125 °C to avoid thermal runaway, with gate drive precision better than ±0.1 V.
Is the marking 'SAs' on the top of the SOT-23 package the full device code?
Yes - 'SAs' is the official top-side laser marking for BSS123, per Infineon's ordering code documentation (Data Sheet 1). It corresponds to the full type designation BSS123 and is used for traceability and visual identification on assembled PCBs.
