Product details
Overview
BSS126SK-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an N-channel depletion-mode MOSFET in SOT23 package, rated for 600V drain-source breakdown voltage, 700Ω maximum RDS(ON) at VGS = 0V, and 7mA minimum IDSS. It operates as a normally-on high-voltage level shifter or small-signal switch in DC-DC converters and backlighting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BSS126SK-7 datasheet, BSS126SK-7 pinout, BSS126SK-7 application, or BSS126SK-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include depletion-mode operation, 600V blocking capability, low gate charge (2nC), ESD protection, and SOT23 thermal performance under pulsed and steady-state conditions.
Technical Context
This device uses planar silicon technology to achieve stable depletion-mode behavior with a gate threshold voltage of −2.7V to −1.4V and intrinsic body diode conduction. Its 600V VDSS and 0.09A pulsed drain current support high-side switching in flyback and resonant topologies.
The MOSFET exhibits low input capacitance (30.9pF) and reverse transfer capacitance (0.8pF), enabling fast turn-on (5.2ns delay) and controlled switching transitions. Thermal resistance of 124.7°C/W (FR-4 PCB) ensures reliable operation up to +150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 600V - supports primary-side switching in offline AC/DC converters without external clamping |
| RDS(ON) @ VGS = 0V | 700Ω max - defines on-resistance in depletion mode for biasing and level-shift applications |
| IDSS | 7mA min @ VGS = 0V, VDS = 25V - sets baseline current for gate-controlled current source behavior |
| Qg | 2nC - enables low-power gate driving with minimal switching loss in low-duty-cycle control |
| VGS(TH) | −2.2V typ @ VDS = 3V, ID = 8µA - determines gate voltage required to fully pinch-off channel |
| tF | 873ns - fall time under 300V VDD, 0.01A load, and 6Ω gate resistor; critical for EMI control |
| RθJA | 124.7°C/W - thermal limit for single-sided FR-4 layout; constrains continuous power to ~1W at +25°C ambient |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 - surface-mount plastic case, 0.008g weight, UL 94V-0 rated molding compound, matte tin annealed terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Source) | Current return path for depletion-mode conduction | Connected to ground or low-side reference; body diode anode for reverse recovery analysis |
| 2 (Gate) | Control electrode for channel depletion | Negative VGS reduces ID; zero bias sustains 7mA; ±20V absolute max rating |
| 3 (Drain) | High-voltage output terminal | Handles 600V blocking; connects to transformer primary or LED string anode in boost configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Depletion-mode operation | Enables "always-on" startup behavior without external bias; simplifies gate drive in level-shift circuits |
| ESD protection | HBM >2kV - prevents gate oxide damage during board handling and reflow assembly |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Fully compliant with EU Directive 2015/863/EU; <900ppm Br+Cl, <1000ppm Sb - meets automotive green material specs |
| Low Ciss/Crss ratio | 30.9pF / 0.8pF - improves Miller immunity and reduces gate oscillation risk in high-dV/dt environments |
| 150°C max junction temperature | Supports operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial lighting systems without derating |
Applications
| Motor Control | Backlighting |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Low-power stepper motor phase enable/disable in HVAC actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side depletion-mode switch controlling 24V coil current with no gate bias supply. Use Value: Eliminates need for charge pump or isolated gate driver; leverages IDSS = 7mA to sustain hold current during microcontroller sleep. |
Use Scenario: CCFL or LED string anode switching in industrial panel displays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-turn-off high-voltage switch in boost converter secondary side. Use Value: 873ns fall time and 600V rating allow direct interface with 400V bus without snubber network. |
| DC-DC Converters | Power Management Functions |
Use Scenario: Auxiliary bias winding regulation in offline flyback PSUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Depletion-mode sense FET providing self-bias to optocoupler feedback circuit. Use Value: Zero-VGS conduction delivers stable 7mA reference current across line and load variations. |
Use Scenario: Standby power sequencer in multi-rail embedded systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Normally-on switch enabling 3.3V rail before main controller boots. Use Value: −2.2V VGS(TH) allows clean turn-off using standard GPIO; avoids external pull-down resistors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar depletion-mode MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2004LK-7 | 40V VDSS, 2.5Ω RDS(ON), enhancement-mode - requires active gate drive | Not suitable for 600V or zero-bias applications; limited to low-voltage logic-level switching | Select only if system uses dedicated gate bias and operates below 40V; not a functional replacement |
| IXTP01N60P | 600V VDSS, 100Ω RDS(ON), enhancement-mode - needs −10V gate drive for full turn-off | Higher conduction loss and complex gate control; lacks depletion-mode simplicity for bias networks | Prefer when higher ID (>100mA) is needed; avoid where zero-VGS operation is mandatory |
Compared with DMN2004LK-7 and IXTP01N60P, BSS126SK-7 uniquely provides verified 600V depletion-mode operation with 7mA IDSS and 700Ω RDS(ON), enabling self-biased, gateless switching in space-constrained high-voltage signal paths.

FAQ
Is BSS126SK-7 a depletion-mode or enhancement-mode MOSFET?
BSS126SK-7 is a confirmed N-channel depletion-mode MOSFET. It conducts 7mA minimum drain current at VGS = 0V and requires negative gate voltage (down to −2.7V) to fully pinch off the channel. This behavior is explicitly defined in its Electrical Characteristics table and Transfer Characteristic curves (Figure 2).
What is the maximum continuous drain current at +70°C ambient?
At TA = +70°C, the continuous drain current is 24mA (Note 5) or 28mA (Note 6), depending on PCB layout. Note 6 specifies 1" × 1" FR-4 with 2 oz. copper, yielding 28mA - a value validated by thermal resistance (RθJA = 95.5°C/W) and 1.3W power dissipation rating.
Can BSS126SK-7 replace a JFET in high-voltage bias circuits?
Yes - BSS126SK-7 is functionally compatible with high-voltage N-channel JFETs (e.g., 2N5457) in bias networks due to matching depletion-mode operation, 600V VDSS, and sub-mA IDSS. Its lower Ciss (30.9pF vs. typical 50pF JFETs) and integrated ESD protection provide improved high-frequency stability and robustness.
Does BSS126SK-7 have a body diode, and what is its forward voltage?
Yes - it integrates a parasitic source-drain body diode. At IS = 16mA and VGS = −5V, the forward voltage is 0.7V (typical), rising to 1.3V (max) per the Electrical Characteristics table. This diode enables freewheeling in inductive loads but must be evaluated for reverse recovery (tRR = 164ns) in switching applications.
