Product details
Overview
SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SOT-23 package, rated for -60 V drain-source voltage, 0.170 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, and -2.8 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It serves as a high-side load switch in 12 V/24 V automotive power distribution systems requiring AEC-Q101 qualification and 175 °C junction operation.
For engineers reviewing the SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 datasheet, SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 pinout, SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 application, or SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, SOT-23 terminal mapping, and validated alternatives for automotive body control modules, LED lighting drivers, and reverse-polarity protection circuits.
Technical Context
This device employs Vishay's TrenchFET® process to achieve low gate charge (10–15 nC) and fast switching (td(on) = 9–12 ns, tf = 4–6 ns), enabling efficient PWM control in space-constrained automotive modules. Its -1.5 V to -2.5 V gate threshold voltage ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level gate drivers.
The integrated body diode exhibits 23–46 ns reverse recovery time and 25–50 nC Qrr, supporting synchronous rectification and flyback energy recirculation in DC-DC converters. Thermal resistance of 75 °C/W (junction-to-foot) enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper planes for sustained 0.67 W dissipation at 125 °C case temperature.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN2053LFG-7 | Lower VDS (-20 V), higher ID (-4.2 A), smaller 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm DFN package; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Suitable only for non-automotive 3.3 V logic-controlled loads; cannot replace SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 in ISO 16750-compliant designs. | Select when board space is critical and automotive qualification is not required. |
| AO3401 | Same SOT-23 package, -30 V VDS, 0.085 Ω RDS(on) @ -4.5 V, but only industrial-grade (not AEC-Q101 qualified). | Lacks high-temperature validation beyond 150 °C; unsuitable for under-hood deployment or extended life testing. | Use for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where 175 °C operation and automotive stress screening are unnecessary. |
Compared with DMN2053LFG-7 and AO3401, SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 uniquely combines -60 V rating, AEC-Q101 qualification, and 175 °C operation-making it the only viable option for high-reliability automotive power switching where voltage margin, thermal endurance, and qualification compliance are jointly mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 supports -1.6 A continuous drain current at TC = 125 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the SOT-23 package under high ambient conditions; actual usable current depends on PCB copper area and airflow. The SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 maintains safe operation within its SOA curve up to this limit without requiring forced cooling.
Is SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 compatible with standard SOT-23 footprints used for other P-channel MOSFETs?
Yes, SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 uses the industry-standard SOT-23 (TO-236) package with 0.95 mm lead pitch and defined mechanical dimensions per Vishay document 71196. Its pinout (G-S-D) matches JEDEC MO-178AB, ensuring compatibility with existing SOT-23 land patterns designed for 3-terminal P-MOSFETs like AO3401 or Si2301. No PCB redesign is needed for drop-in replacement within same voltage/current class.
Does SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 require a gate driver IC for MCU-level control?
No, SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 features a gate threshold voltage of -1.5 V to -2.5 V, allowing direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIO pins without external level shifting. Its 10–15 nC total gate charge enables clean switching with ≤ 10 Ω series gate resistor; however, a small RC snubber may be added for EMI suppression in noisy automotive environments. The SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 is optimized for logic-level compatibility.
How does the body diode performance of SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 impact its use in flyback or buck converter topologies?
The SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 body diode has a forward voltage of -0.8 to -1.2 V at -1.5 A and reverse recovery time of 23–46 ns, making it suitable for synchronous rectification in low-power DC-DC converters. Its Qrr of 25–50 nC reduces switching loss compared to standard Schottky diodes in 100–500 kHz applications. In flyback configurations, the SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 body diode safely handles leakage inductance energy without oscillation due to controlled soft recovery characteristics.
What is the significance of the "T1_GE3" suffix in SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3?
The "T1_GE3" suffix denotes Vishay's tape-and-reel packaging variant: "T1" indicates 3000-unit reel quantity, and "GE3" specifies lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free construction compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL1. This suffix confirms the SQ2361CEES-T1_GE3 meets automotive environmental standards and is suitable for high-volume SMT assembly without post-process cleaning or special handling.
