Product details
Overview
DMTH4004SK3Q-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101 qualified N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO252 (DPAK) package, rated for 40V VDSS, 3.2mΩ RDS(ON) @ 10V, and 100A continuous drain current at TC = +25°C. It delivers robust unclamped inductive switching (EAS = 160mJ), operates up to +175°C junction temperature, and is designed for automotive engine management and DC/DC converter power stages.
For engineers reviewing the DMTH4004SK3Q-13 datasheet, DMTH4004SK3Q-13 pinout, DMTH4004SK3Q-13 application, or DMTH4004SK3Q-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low Qg (68.6nC), high-temperature reliability, AEC-Q101 qualification, and thermal resistance (RθJC = 0.8°C/W) for thermally constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses a trench-gate silicon process optimized for low RDS(ON) and fast switching in high-current automotive power rails. Its gate threshold voltage (2–4V) enables compatibility with standard 3.3V/5V logic-level drivers while maintaining noise immunity under transient conditions.
The device integrates a co-packaged body diode with tRR = 52.4ns and QRR = 78.2nC, supporting synchronous rectification and hard-switched topologies. Its 100% UIS-tested ruggedness ensures survivability in load-dump and inductive kickback events common in 12V/24V vehicle systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40V - Supports nominal 12V/24V automotive battery rails with margin for load dump transients. |
| RDS(ON) max | 3.2mΩ @ VGS = 10V - Enables <1.5W conduction loss at 90A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| Qg typ | 68.6nC - Low gate charge minimizes driver power and enables efficient 100kHz+ switching in DC/DC converters. |
| TJ max | +175°C - Qualified for under-hood environments without derating in engine control units. |
| EAS | 160mJ @ IAS = 40A - Confirmed energy rating for reliable operation during unclamped inductive turn-off. |
| RθJC | 0.8°C/W - Enables direct thermal coupling to copper pour or heatsink for high-power density designs. |
| ID cont | 100A @ TC = +25°C - Package-limited current supports high-current motor drivers and starter solenoid interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO252 (DPAK), surface-mount, exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. Molded green compound, RoHS-compliant, halogen- and antimony-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D (Drain) | Main power output terminal / exposed pad | Electrically and thermally connected to PCB copper pour; carries full load current and dissipates heat directly to board. |
| G (Gate) | Control input | Receives PWM signal; requires low-impedance drive path due to 68.6nC total gate charge. |
| S (Source) | Power return / reference node | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; must be routed with minimal inductance to avoid shoot-through risk. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40V, 2.2mΩ @ 10V, Qg = 92nC, TO263 package | Higher RDS(ON) but larger package; better thermal mass for sustained 100A loads | Select when board layout allows TO263 and higher thermal inertia is preferred over ultra-low Qg. |
| IXTP100N04T4 | 40V, 3.5mΩ @ 10V, Qg = 52nC, TO220 package | Lower Qg but through-hole mounting; no exposed drain pad for PCB thermal conduction | Select for legacy through-hole assembly or where mechanical heatsinking is mandatory and surface-mount thermal design is impractical. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and IXTP100N04T4, DMTH4004SK3Q-13 offers the best balance of low Qg, surface-mount thermal performance, and AEC-Q101 compliance in a compact DPAK footprint-critical for modern automotive ECUs where board area and thermal management are tightly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for DMTH4004SK3Q-13?
The DMTH4004SK3Q-13 is rated for 100A continuous drain current at case temperature TC = +25°C, limited by package thermal capability. At TC = +100°C, it maintains 100A due to its low RDS(ON) temperature coefficient and robust thermal design. Derating applies above +100°C per the normalized RDS(ON) vs. temperature curve in Figure 6.
Is DMTH4004SK3Q-13 suitable for synchronous rectification in 48V automotive systems?
Yes-its 40V VDSS, low QRR = 78.2nC, and fast tRR = 52.4ns make it suitable for synchronous rectification in 48V-to-12V or 48V-to-5V buck converters. The body diode's soft recovery characteristic minimizes voltage overshoot and EMI when used with complementary high-side switching.
Does DMTH4004SK3Q-13 require a gate resistor for automotive PWM applications?
A gate resistor is recommended to control dV/dt and prevent oscillation, especially in high-noise engine bay environments. Typical values range from 2.2Ω to 10Ω depending on switching frequency and driver strength. The device's RG = 0.77Ω internal gate resistance supports fast turn-on while remaining stable with moderate external series resistance.
How does the exposed drain pad affect PCB layout for DMTH4004SK3Q-13?
The exposed drain pad must be soldered to a minimum 25mm × 25mm 2oz copper thermal pad on the PCB to achieve the specified RθJA = 38°C/W and RθJC = 0.8°C/W. Thermal vias (≥8×0.3mm diameter) should connect the pad to inner-layer ground planes to maximize heat spreading and reduce junction temperature rise under 100A load.
