| Market Reality | These two SOT-23 MOSFETs are the level shifters and small switches of modern boards: the standard parts behind I2C bus translation, 3.3V-to-5V interfacing, small load switching and a hundred interfaces that needed something better than a resistor. The pair reads as one drawer and is not one part: the classic 2N7002 is the 60V general switcher whose threshold spec assumed a real gate drive, while the BSS138 is the low-threshold original marketed precisely for 1.8V and 3.3V logic. The variants blur the line constantly - the 2N7002K generation moved thresholds down toward BSS138 territory, and the BSS138K moved voltage up toward 60V - which is exactly why the substitution discipline here is reading the threshold margin and the on-resistance at the actual gate voltage, not the family glance. | - |
