|---|---|---|---|---|
| FFF Compatibility | Matches the SOT-23 package and pinout exactly (Pin 1: Gate, Pin 2: Source, Pin 3: Drain) with no layout changes needed.Identical SOT-23-3 package dimensions and mounting style.Matches all key electrical parameters including 50V breakdown voltage, 220mA drain current, and 3.5 Ohm RDS(on) at 10V. | Uses the standard SOT-23-3 footprint and identical pin assignment (G-S-D).Standard SOT-23 package with identical mechanical dimensions.The continuous drain current is slightly lower at 200mA compared to the original 220mA. | ||
 AI Summary | BSS138 by onsemi: N-Channel 50 V 220mA (Tj) 430mW Surface Mount SOT-23. | The onsemi BSS138 is the most prominent industry-standard equivalent, serving as a true drop-in replacement with identical electrical characteristics, physical dimensions, and pinout assignments.
| Diodes Inc.'s BSS138-7-F is an excellent drop-in option that mirrors almost all characteristics, though it has a slightly lower continuous current rating of 200mA instead of 220mA.

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.
All your BOM, at once
Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.
Hear about problems before they hit production
Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.
Qualified replacements in minutes, not days
Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The onsemi BSS138 is active and in production. The parts listed here are qualified equivalents if you need a second source or better availability.
The closest qualified second sources for the onsemi BSS138 are the BSS138 (onsemi) and the BSS138-7-F (Diodes Incorporated), out of 5 matched alternatives in total. Each is compared against the original on fit, form and function in the table above.
Partly. Some alternatives to the BSS138 are full fit-, form- and function-compatible drop-ins, while others match on function but differ in package or a key parameter. Check the fit/form/function notes in the table and the datasheet for your application before swapping.
