Product details
Overview
SCT020W120G3-4AG from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q101 qualified silicon carbide power MOSFET designed for high-voltage, high-efficiency traction and charging systems. It delivers 1200 V drain-source voltage, 18.5 mΩ typical RDS(on) at 18 VGS and 50 A, 100 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and operates up to TJ = 200 °C - enabling compact, thermally robust EV inverter and OBC designs.
For engineers reviewing the SCT020W120G3-4AG datasheet, SCT020W120G3-4AG pinout, SCT020W120G3-4AG application, or SCT020W120G3-4AG equivalent, key selection criteria include its low-temperature-stable RDS(on), 3465 pF Ciss, 121 nC total gate charge, fast 21 ns td(on)/47 ns td(off), and integrated source-sensing capability for precision gate drive control.
Technical Context
This SiC MOSFET employs ST's third-generation trench-gate technology optimized for automotive-grade reliability and high-frequency switching. Its intrinsic body diode exhibits 22.6 ns reverse recovery time and 206 nC Qrr under 1000 A/μs di/dt, enabling hard-switched operation without external anti-parallel diodes in many topologies.
The HiP247-4 package integrates a dedicated driver source (pin 3) separate from power source (pin 2), enabling Kelvin-source gate drive to eliminate source inductance effects on switching dynamics and improve EMI performance in >100 kHz applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 1200 V - supports 800 V DC bus systems with 50% voltage margin for transient overvoltage in EV traction inverters. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 18.5 mΩ at VGS = 18 V, ID = 50 A, TJ = 25 °C - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 50 A, critical for thermal management in sealed OBC modules. |
| ID cont. | 100 A at TC = 25 °C - rated for peak-phase currents in 150 kW+ main inverters with forced-air cooling. |
| Qg | 121 nC - defines gate driver power requirement; compatible with standard 2–4 A peak gate drivers at 100 kHz switching. |
| tr/tf | 9 ns / 22 ns - enables <500 ns total switching transition, reducing overlap losses in ZVS/ZCS soft-switching converters. |
| TJ max | 200 °C - allows derating-free operation at 175 °C case temperature in under-hood environments per AEC-Q101 stress testing. |
| Ciss | 3465 pF - determines Miller effect sensitivity; low Crss/Ciss ratio (0.39%) improves noise immunity during high-dV/dt commutation. |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in the HiP247-4 surface-mount-compatible through-hole package with isolated tab (Drain), featuring four terminals: Drain (pins 1 & TAB), Gate (pin 4), Driver Source (pin 3), and Power Source (pin 2). The dual-source configuration eliminates PCB trace inductance impact on gate loop stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 & Tab | Drain | Main high-side power terminal; electrically connected to metal tab for direct heatsink mounting and lowest possible RthJC (0.32 °C/W). |
| Pin 2 | Power Source | Carries full load current to source node; used for power return path and thermal sensing in closed-loop systems. |
| Pin 3 | Driver Source | Kelvin connection for gate driver feedback; isolates gate loop from high di/dt source transients, ensuring accurate VGS control. |
| Pin 4 | Gate | Control input for MOSFET channel; requires low-inductance routing to pin 3 to maintain <10 ns propagation delay fidelity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive powertrain use including temperature cycling, HTRB, and UIS stress - required for ISO 26262 ASIL-B system integration. |

| Robust intrinsic body diode | 22.6 ns trr, 15.4 A IRRM, and 206 nC Qrr - supports bidirectional energy transfer in interleaved DC/DC without external SiC diodes. |
| High-temperature operation | Guaranteed RDS(on) stability up to TJ = 200 °C - eliminates need for aggressive derating in confined OBC enclosures with ambient >105 °C. |
| Low capacitance profile | Ciss/Coss/Crss = 3465/140/13.5 pF - reduces capacitive turn-on losses and improves EMI filter sizing predictability in 100–300 kHz range. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage SiC MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3M0065120K (Wolfspeed) | 1200 V, 65 mΩ, 32 A - higher RDS(on), no Kelvin source, TO-247-4L package | Limited to <60 kW inverters; requires external diode for bidirectional operation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and thermal density requirements. |
| IXFH100N120X2 (IXYS) | 1200 V, 20 mΩ, 100 A - similar RDS(on), but only rated to TJ = 175 °C and not AEC-Q101 qualified | Restricted to industrial UPS or solar inverters; not approved for automotive safety-critical systems | Select for non-automotive 800 V systems where AEC-Q101 compliance is not mandated. |
Compared with C3M0065120K and IXFH100N120X2, SCT020W120G3-4AG uniquely combines automotive qualification, Kelvin-source layout, and 200 °C junction rating - enabling single-device solutions in space-constrained, thermally aggressive EV power stages where reliability and efficiency are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What gate drive voltage is recommended for optimal RDS(on) and reliability?
ST specifies VGS = 15–18 V for nominal operation and -5 V for turn-off. At VGS = 18 V, RDS(on) reaches 18.5 mΩ (typ.), while maintaining safe margin below the 22 V absolute maximum. Using 15 V ensures robustness against overshoot in noisy automotive environments without sacrificing more than 0.5 mΩ RDS(on).
Does the device require an external freewheeling diode in hard-switched topologies?
No - the intrinsic body diode is fully characterized with trr = 22.6 ns, Qrr = 206 nC, and IRRM = 15.4 A at TJ = 25 °C. It supports unidirectional and bidirectional energy flow in LLC, phase-shifted full-bridge, and totem-pole PFC without external diodes, verified per Figure 16–17 in DS14433 Rev 2.
How does the HiP247-4 package differ from standard TO-247-4L in thermal performance?
HiP247-4 features a thicker copper leadframe and optimized internal bond wire geometry, achieving RthJC = 0.32 °C/W - 12% lower than typical TO-247-4L (0.36 °C/W). This directly enables 81 A continuous current at TC = 100 °C, versus ~72 A for comparable TO-247-4L devices under identical cooling conditions.
Is the device compliant with RoHS and REACH environmental standards?
Yes - SCT020W120G3-4AG is manufactured in ST's ECOPACK2-compliant facilities and meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Full material declarations and compliance certificates are available via ST's Quality Portal using order code SCT020W120G3-4AG.
