Product details
Overview
BSS84AKW-BX 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. It serves as a high-side load switch or relay driver in space-constrained automotive and industrial control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BSS84AKW-BX datasheet, BSS84AKW-BX pinout, BSS84AKW-BX application, or BSS84AKW-BX equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal derating curves, gate charge characteristics, and real-world switching behavior under logic-level drive conditions.
Technical Context
This device uses Trench MOSFET technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = −1.1 to −2.1 V). Its ESD rating of 1 kV HBM supports robust handling in automated assembly lines.
The SOT323 package enables compact PCB layouts while maintaining thermal resistance of 350–400 K/W (junction-to-ambient, with 1 cm² drain pad), and its −55 to +150 °C operating junction temperature range supports automotive under-hood deployment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | −50 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche conduction; suitable for 36 V automotive systems with margin. |
| ID (continuous) | −150 mA at Tamb = 25 °C - Continuous load current capability without forced cooling. |
| RDS(on) | 4.5 Ω typ @ VGS = −10 V, ID = −100 mA - Enables <150 mW conduction loss at rated current. |
| VGS(th) | −1.6 V typ - Ensures reliable turn-on with 2.5 V or 3.3 V logic outputs. |
| QG(tot) | 0.26 nC typ - Supports >1 MHz switching in low-power DC-DC or signal routing applications. |
| td(off) | 48 ns typ - Critical for minimizing dead-time losses in synchronous high-side configurations. |
| ESD Rating | 1000 V HBM - Eliminates need for external ESD protection in board-level handling and test. |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mounted package with 3 leads; 1.35 mm × 1.75 mm footprint, 0.95 mm height, and gull-wing lead form for reflow compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | G (Gate) | Control terminal; requires ≤2.1 V negative bias relative to source to fully enhance; low input capacitance (24 pF) minimizes drive power. |
| 2 | S (Source) | Reference node for gate drive; connected to system ground or positive rail depending on high/low-side configuration. |
| 3 | D (Drain) | Load connection point; thermally coupled to PCB copper via exposed pad area in layout; handles −50 V reverse blocking. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) down to −1.1 V ensures full enhancement with 2.5 V microcontroller I/O, eliminating level-shifter need. |
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Reduces RDS(on) by 35% vs planar P-channel equivalents at same die size, improving power density. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and body electronics per stress-test requirements. |
| Fast switching performance | 48 ns turn-off delay + 25 ns fall time enables clean edge transitions in 5–10 MHz digital load switching. |
| Integrated ESD protection | 1 kV HBM rating allows direct placement on PCBs without discrete TVS diodes in non-safety-critical paths. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMG2305UVT-7 | RDS(on) = 42 mΩ @ −4.5 V (lower), but larger SOT-23 package and higher QG (1.2 nC). | Better for high-current (>500 mA), lower-frequency (<100 kHz) loads where thermal mass matters more than speed. | Select when prioritizing conduction efficiency over board area and switching loss. |
| SI2301DDS-T1-BE3 | RDS(on) = 115 mΩ @ −2.5 V, 1.3× larger RDS(on) at same VGS, but identical SOT-23 footprint and AEC-Q101 qualified. | Preferred for cost-sensitive automotive modules where 150 mA rating suffices and layout reuse is critical. | Choose if existing SOT-23 land pattern must be retained and 4.5 Ω RDS(on) margin is acceptable. |
Compared with DMG2305UVT-7 and SI2301DDS-T1-BE3, BSS84AKW-BX uniquely balances ultra-small SOT323 size, 1 kV ESD robustness, and sub-5 Ω RDS(on) at logic-level drive-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability, medium-speed switching where thermal budget is limited to ~260 mW.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for BSS84AKW-BX?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150 °C, and the device is rated for continuous operation from −55 °C to +150 °C ambient. Derating begins at Tamb > 25 °C per Figure 2 in the datasheet: at 100 °C ambient, continuous ID drops to −95 mA due to thermal resistance limitations of the SOT323 package.
Can BSS84AKW-BX be used with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs?
Yes-its gate threshold voltage ranges from −1.1 V to −2.1 V, and it achieves full enhancement at VGS = −3.3 V. At −3.3 V, RDS(on) is typically 5.7 Ω (vs 4.5 Ω at −10 V), yielding acceptable conduction loss for ≤100 mA loads in most 3.3 V systems.
Does BSS84AKW-BX include an integrated body diode?
Yes-it features a built-in source-drain diode with VSD = −0.48 V typ at IS = −115 mA and Tj = 25 °C. This diode enables freewheeling in inductive load switching but is not rated for reverse recovery in high-frequency PWM applications.
How does AEC-Q101 qualification impact BSS84AKW-BX's use in non-automotive designs?
AEC-Q101 qualification subjects the device to accelerated stress tests (HTGB, TC, UHAST, etc.), resulting in proven reliability beyond standard industrial requirements. Designers in medical, aerospace, or industrial equipment benefit from its extended lifetime prediction, tighter parameter distributions, and reduced infant mortality-even outside automotive contexts.
