00 — Overview

What the BSS84 does

The BSS84 is a P-channel enhancement mode MOSFET designed for high-efficiency power management and general-purpose interfacing. It features a low on-resistance of 10 Ω, a drain-source breakdown voltage of -50 V, and a continuous drain current of -130 mA. The device operates across a junction temperature range of -55 to +150 °C with a total power dissipation of 300 mW. It offers fast switching speed and low input capacitance, making it suitable for analog switches and power management functions. This component is available in SOT23 packages with lead-free plating and is fully RoHS compliant.
