Product details
Overview
SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 60 V drain-source voltage, 2.3 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature. It features RDS(on) of 0.150 Ω at VGS = 10 V and 0.164 Ω at VGS = 4.5 V, and is housed in a compact SOT-23 (TO-236) package. It serves as a high-reliability load switch in automotive body electronics and low-power DC-DC converter synchronous rectification.
For engineers reviewing the SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 datasheet, SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 pinout, SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 application, or SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 100 % Rg and UIS testing, thermal performance up to +175 °C, and verified gate charge (Qg = 3.6–5.3 nC) for fast switching in space-constrained automotive modules.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low RDS(on) and robust avalanche energy handling (EAS = 2.5 mJ). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.5–2.5 V) enables reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level drivers, while its 100 % UIS-tested construction ensures survivability under inductive switching stress common in automotive solenoid and motor control circuits.
The device integrates a low-forward-voltage body diode (VSD = 0.82–1.2 V at IF = 1.6 A) with reverse recovery time (trr = 13–26 ns) suitable for freewheeling in buck converters and LED drivers. Thermal resistance values-RthJA = 120 °C/W (PCB mount) and RthJF = 80 °C/W-support stable operation in thermally dense automotive PCB layouts without forced cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 42 V automotive systems and 24 V industrial rails. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.150 Ω - Enables ≤0.8 W conduction loss at 2.3 A, reducing thermal load in sealed modules. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 0.164 Ω - Ensures usable on-resistance with 5 V microcontroller GPIOs, eliminating level-shifter need. |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25 °C) | 2.3 A - Supports medium-current loads such as HVAC actuators, mirror controls, and sensor biasing. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Meets under-hood temperature requirements per AEC-Q101, enabling placement near engines or power stages. |
| Qg | 3.6–5.3 nC - Low gate charge allows <10 ns turn-on delay and <13 ns rise time with 1 Ω driver, minimizing switching losses. |
| EAS | 2.5 mJ - Rated single-pulse avalanche energy supports robustness against inductive kickback in relay and solenoid drive. |
Pinout & Package
SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 is packaged in SOT-23 (TO-236), a surface-mount, 3-lead plastic package with 1" × 1" FR-4 PCB thermal reference. Dimensions: 2.80–3.04 mm length, 2.10–2.64 mm width, 0.89–1.12 mm height. Drain is internally connected to the exposed pad (foot) for enhanced thermal conduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal accepting logic-level input; requires ≤±20 V rating and exhibits Rg = 2.9–9 Ω for predictable drive timing. |
| 2 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return path; tied to system ground or low-side switch common point. |
| 3 (D) | Drain | High-side output terminal; electrically and thermally connected to the exposed drain foot for PCB heat sinking. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per JESD47, ensuring reliability in harsh environments. |
| 100 % Rg and UIS tested | Every unit screened for gate resistance consistency and unclamped inductive switching survival-critical for safety-critical load switching. |
| TrenchFET® architecture | Delivers lower RDS(on) per die area than planar MOSFETs, enabling smaller footprint without sacrificing current capability. |
| Body diode trr = 13–26 ns | Fast reverse recovery minimizes shoot-through risk and power loss during synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters. |
| Drain-foot thermal path | RthJF = 80 °C/W provides direct thermal conduction from junction to PCB copper, improving power density over RthJA-only designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2053UW-7 | RDS(on) = 0.125 Ω @ 10 V, but only rated to 150 °C TJ and not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial/commercial 24 V systems where extended temperature is not required. | Select DMN2053UW-7 only if AEC-Q101 compliance is unnecessary and lower RDS(on) justifies trade-off in temperature margin. |
| IPD20N04S5L33ATMA1 | 40 V VDS, 20 A ID, TO-252 package; higher current but lower voltage rating and larger footprint. | Designed for higher-power 12 V automotive loads (e.g., radiator fans), incompatible with 60 V transient tolerance needs. | Choose IPD20N04S5L33ATMA1 only when >2.3 A current and PCB space allow TO-252; not a drop-in replacement for SQ2308FES-T1_GE3. |
Compared with DMN2053UW-7 and IPD20N04S5L33ATMA1, SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, 60 V rating, SOT-23 compactness, and 175 °C operation-making it the only option among the three qualified for under-hood 24 V/42 V switching where space and temperature are constrained.

FAQ
Is SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 is fully AEC-Q101 qualified per the Vishay datasheet (S22-1022-Rev. A). It has undergone stress testing including temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and unclamped inductive switching (UIS), confirming suitability for automotive applications such as body electronics and engine management systems.
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current for SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 is 1.3 A at TC = 125 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the SOT-23 package and must be applied in thermal design calculations for sustained operation in hot environments.
Does SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 have a specified gate charge value, and why does it matter?
Yes, SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 has a total gate charge (Qg) of 3.6–5.3 nC at VGS = 10 V. This parameter directly determines switching speed and driver power requirements: lower Qg enables faster turn-on/turn-off with minimal gate driver effort, reducing switching losses in high-frequency DC-DC converters and PWM-controlled loads.
Can SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 be used as a synchronous rectifier in a 500 kHz buck converter?
Yes, SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 is suitable as a synchronous rectifier in 500 kHz buck converters. Its low Qg (3.6–5.3 nC), fast turn-on delay (≤6 ns), rise time (≤13 ns), and body diode trr (13–26 ns) support efficient operation at this frequency. The 0.164 Ω RDS(on) at 4.5 V also ensures compatibility with typical controller gate-drive voltages.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RthJA) for SQ2308FES-T1_GE3, and how is it measured?
SQ2308FES-T1_GE3 has RthJA = 120 °C/W when mounted on a 1" × 1" FR-4 PCB with 2 oz. copper on both sides. This value is measured under standardized JEDEC conditions and serves as a baseline for thermal modeling; actual performance depends on PCB layout, copper area, and airflow, so designers should verify with thermal simulation or testing.
