Product details
Overview
BSS84AKW-B115 from Nexperia is a P-channel enhancement-mode Trench MOSFET in SOT323 (SC-70) package, rated for −50 V drain-source voltage, −150 mA continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 4.5 Ω typical RDS(on) at VGS = −10 V - optimized for high-side load switching and relay driving in space-constrained automotive and industrial control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BSS84AKW-B115 datasheet, BSS84AKW-B115 pinout, BSS84AKW-B115 application, or BSS84AKW-B115 equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = −1.6 V typ), AEC-Q101 qualification, ESD robustness (1 kV HBM), and thermal performance on FR4 PCBs with standard footprint.
Technical Context
This discrete MOSFET uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve low RDS(on) and fast switching (td(on) = 13 ns typ, tf = 25 ns typ) while maintaining stable threshold voltage (−1.6 V typ) across temperature. Its P-channel configuration enables high-side switching without level-shifting circuitry.
The device features integrated source-drain diode (VSD = −0.85 V typ at −115 mA), supports peak drain current up to −0.6 A (10 µs pulse), and delivers 260 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient on standard FR4 PCB - with Rth(j-a) = 350–400 K/W under optimized mounting conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −50 V - maximum blocking voltage for high-side loads in 24 V automotive systems |
| ID (continuous) | −150 mA at Tamb = 25 °C - sufficient for driving small relays, LEDs, or logic-level signal paths |
| RDS(on) | 4.5 Ω typ at VGS = −10 V - ensures <150 mW conduction loss at full rated current |
| VGS(th) | −1.6 V typ - enables direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller GPIOs |
| QG(tot) | 0.26 nC typ - supports >1 MHz switching in low-power DC-DC or PWM control stages |
| ESD rating | 1000 V HBM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 system-level robustness requirements |
| Tj range | −55 °C to +150 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q101 |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mounted package: 3-pin, single-ended lead frame, 1.3 mm × 1.8 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, 0.9 mm max height - optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering on dense PCBs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2053LW-7 | −20 V VDS, −2.8 A ID, 0.095 Ω RDS(on), SOT-363 package | Higher current, lower voltage - suited for 5 V logic rails but not 24 V automotive loads | Select when higher current and lower RDS(on) are required at ≤20 V operation; not drop-in due to different voltage rating and package pinout. |
| SI2301DS-T1-BE3 | −20 V VDS, −2.6 A ID, 0.115 Ω RDS(on), SOT-23 package | Higher current, lower voltage, larger SOT-23 footprint - lacks AEC-Q101 qualification | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications needing higher current; avoid where automotive reliability or 50 V blocking is mandatory. |
Compared with DMN2053LW-7 and SI2301DS-T1-BE3, BSS84AKW-B115 uniquely balances −50 V blocking, AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT323 compactness - making it the only option among the three validated for 24 V automotive high-side switching with logic-level drive.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for BSS84AKW-B115 at 100 °C ambient temperature?
The BSS84AKW-B115 supports −95 mA continuous drain current at Tamb = 100 °C, as specified in the Limiting Values table under VGS = −10 V conditions. This derating reflects thermal constraints of the SOT323 package on standard FR4 PCBs and ensures reliable operation in elevated-temperature environments such as engine compartments or enclosed industrial enclosures.
Is BSS84AKW-B115 pin-compatible with the standard BSS84 series?
Yes, BSS84AKW-B115 shares identical SOT323 (SC-70) pinout - Gate (Pin 1), Source (Pin 2), Drain (Pin 3) - with all BSS84 variants including BSS84, BSS84,115, and BSS84AKW. The "B115" suffix denotes a specific manufacturing lot and tape-and-reel packaging variant, not a functional or mechanical deviation.
Does BSS84AKW-B115 include intrinsic ESD protection, and what is its rating?
Yes, BSS84AKW-B115 integrates on-die ESD protection rated at 1000 V HBM (Human Body Model), as confirmed in the Features and Limiting Values sections. This allows direct integration into systems meeting IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 (±4 kV contact) without requiring additional external ESD components in most cases.
What is the typical gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) of BSS84AKW-B115, and how does it vary with temperature?
The BSS84AKW-B115 has a typical VGS(th) of −1.6 V at Tj = 25 °C, with minimum −1.1 V and maximum −2.1 V. As shown in Figure 12, VGS(th) decreases linearly with rising junction temperature - approximately −1.2 V at 150 °C - ensuring predictable turn-on behavior across its full −55 °C to +150 °C operating range.
Can BSS84AKW-B115 be used in high-frequency PWM applications, and what gate charge parameters support this?
Yes, BSS84AKW-B115 is suitable for high-frequency PWM applications up to several MHz due to its low total gate charge of 0.26 nC typ (VDS = −25 V, ID = −200 mA), fast switching times (td(on) = 13 ns, tf = 25 ns), and low input capacitance (Ciss = 24 pF typ). These parameters reduce driver power loss and enable clean edge transitions in DC-DC controllers and LED dimmers.
