Product details
Overview
SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 30 V drain-source voltage, 8 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 0.024 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It operates up to +175 °C junction temperature and is AEC-Q101 qualified for under-hood power switching in engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 datasheet, SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 pinout, SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 application, or SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175 °C rated junction temperature, 100 % Rg and UIS tested reliability, SOT-23 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts, and verified performance under pulsed avalanche stress (EAS = 12 mJ).
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses Vishay's TrenchFET® process to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching dynamics. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 7.95–14.5 nC) and low Crss (40–50 pF) support efficient PWM operation in DC-DC converters and load switches, while the integrated body diode (VSD = 0.8–1.2 V at 3.5 A) enables synchronous rectification and freewheeling functions.
The device is characterized across -55 °C to +175 °C and features guaranteed RDS(on) stability up to 175 °C (0.042 Ω max at VGS = 10 V, ID = 12 A), validated thermal resistance (RthJA = 166 °C/W on 1"² FR4 PCB), and robust avalanche capability (IAS = 15.5 A, EAS = 12 mJ) per single-pulse test conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 24 V automotive systems and 12 V battery rails. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.024 Ω - Enables <192 mW conduction loss at 8 A, reducing thermal load in compact SOT-23 packages. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 0.032 Ω - Ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level gate drivers without external level shifting. |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25 °C) | 8 A - Supports high-current loads such as fuel injectors, solenoids, and LED matrix drivers in automotive modules. |
| EAS | 12 mJ - Withstands inductive energy spikes during switch-off in relay or motor drive circuits without failure. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Certified for under-hood environments including engine control units and transmission control modules. |
| Qg | 7.95–14.5 nC - Low total gate charge enables fast switching with minimal driver power consumption. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) package: 3-pin surface-mount, 2.80 × 2.10 × 1.12 mm body, lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gate (G) | Control terminal accepting 0–20 V gate-source voltage; requires ≤27 Ω gate resistance to limit ringing and ensure stable turn-on/turn-off timing. |
| 2 | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return path; tied to system ground or low-side shunt in high-side configurations. |
| 3 | Drain (D) | High-current output terminal connected to load; thermally coupled to PCB copper via exposed drain pad for enhanced heat dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD, enabling deployment in safety-critical ECUs without additional qualification effort. |
| 100 % Rg and UIS testing | Each unit undergoes production screening for gate resistance consistency and unclamped inductive switching robustness-critical for field reliability in noisy automotive environments. |
| TrenchFET® technology | Delivers lower RDS(on) per die area than planar MOSFETs, allowing higher current density in SOT-23 without derating beyond datasheet limits. |
| 175 °C junction rating | Enables operation in high-ambient zones (e.g., near exhaust manifolds or power inverters) where standard 150 °C parts would require thermal derating or heatsinking. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN3028LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 0.028 Ω @ 10 V, SOT-23-3, AEC-Q101 qualified, but rated only to 150 °C TJ. | Limited to cabin-mounted modules; not suitable for under-hood placement above 150 °C ambient. | Select when thermal budget permits lower junction temperature operation and cost sensitivity outweighs 175 °C requirement. |
| AO3400A | RDS(on) = 0.028 Ω @ 10 V, SOT-23-3, industrial grade only (not AEC-Q101 qualified), no UIS or Rg screening. | Not approved for automotive safety-critical systems; requires full qualification by end customer. | Use only in non-automotive or prototype applications where AEC-Q101 compliance is not mandated. |
Compared with DMN3028LSD-13 and AO3400A, SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 uniquely combines 175 °C operation, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 100 % UIS/Rg testing-making it the only drop-in solution for high-temperature automotive power switching without design revalidation.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-source voltage rating for SQ2348ES-T1_BE3?
The SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 has a maximum gate-source voltage (VGS) rating of ±20 V. Exceeding this limit risks permanent gate oxide damage. For robust operation, gate drive circuits should be clamped to ≤±15 V with transient suppression, especially in automotive environments subject to load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses. This specification is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of Vishay document 63706.
Is SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 suitable for high-frequency PWM applications like LED dimming?
Yes, SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 supports high-frequency PWM applications such as LED headlamp dimming due to its fast switching characteristics: td(on) = 4.5–7 ns, tr = 8–12 ns, td(off) = 21–32 ns, and tf = 6–9 ns. Its low Crss (40–50 pF) and Qgd (1.3 nC) minimize Miller effect, enabling clean transitions at >10 kHz. These values are measured per JEDEC-standard conditions in the datasheet.
Does SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 have an integrated body diode, and what is its forward voltage?
Yes, SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 includes an integrated source-drain body diode with a forward voltage (VSD) of 0.8–1.2 V at IF = 3.5 A and VGS = 0 V. This diode supports freewheeling in inductive loads and reverse-current conduction in start-stop battery management. The parameter is specified in the "Source-Drain Diode Ratings" section of document 63706.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 on a standard PCB?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) for SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 is 166 °C/W when mounted on a 1" square FR4 PCB (2 oz copper, double-sided). This value assumes standard SOT-23 land pattern per Vishay application note AN826 and is critical for calculating safe operating area and derating curves at elevated ambient temperatures.
How is SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 marked on the package, and what does the marking indicate?
SQ2348ES-T1_BE3 is marked with the code "8Vxxx" on the top surface of the SOT-23 package, where "xxx" denotes date code and lot traceability information. This marking aligns with Vishay's standard SOT-23 labeling per document 71196 and confirms authenticity and revision status (Rev. C, Nov 2021). The "8V" prefix identifies the SQ2348ES family within Vishay's automotive MOSFET series.
