Product details
Overview
SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TSOP-6 package, rated for -30 V VDS, 7.5 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and RDS(on) = 0.043 Ω at VGS = -10 V. It operates up to +175 °C junction temperature and is AEC-Q101 qualified for under-hood power control applications including load switching and reverse polarity protection.
For engineers reviewing the SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 datasheet, SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 pinout, SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 application, or SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, TSOP-6 terminal mapping, and validated alternatives for automotive power design validation and BOM optimization.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses Vishay's TrenchFET® technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with controlled gate charge (Qg = 15.4 nC typ. at VGS = -10 V). Its -2.0 V typical gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) enables reliable turn-on from standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level controllers in high-side configurations.
The device integrates a robust body diode with VSD = -0.8 V typ. at IF = -1.7 A and supports single-pulse avalanche energy of 11 mJ. Thermal resistance from junction-to-foot is 36 °C/W, enabling direct heat transfer to PCB copper planes in space-constrained automotive modules.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9530NPBF | TO-220 package, higher RDS(on) (0.3 Ω @ -10 V), no AEC-Q101 qualification | Industrial/non-automotive use only; unsuitable for under-hood deployment | Select only for cost-sensitive prototyping where automotive qualification is not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 supports -4.3 A continuous drain current at TC = 125 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TSOP-6 package under sustained high-temperature operation, and must be applied in thermal simulations for engine bay applications. The SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 maintains full functionality across its -55 °C to +175 °C junction range.
Is SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 suitable for high-side switching with 3.3 V logic-level gate drive?
The SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 has a typical VGS(th) of -2.0 V and RDS(on) = 0.070 Ω at VGS = -4.5 V, making it compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers when driven through an inverting level shifter or dedicated gate driver IC. Direct 3.3 V drive yields partial enhancement; full performance requires ≥ -4.5 V gate bias. The SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 datasheet confirms operation down to -4.5 V gate drive in its specifications table.
Does SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 include integrated ESD protection on the gate terminal?
The SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 does not specify integrated gate ESD protection in its datasheet; however, it undergoes 100 % Rg testing and is rated for ±20 V gate-source voltage, indicating robustness against transient overstress. External gate resistors (≥10 Ω) and TVS diodes are recommended for systems exposed to ISO 10605 or IEC 61000-4-2 events. The SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 gate oxide is qualified per AEC-Q101 stress conditions, but no explicit ESD rating (e.g., HBM) is published.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RthJA) for SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 on a standard PCB?
The SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 110 °C/W when mounted on a 1" × 1" FR-4 PCB with 2 oz copper on both sides, as defined in its Thermal Resistance Ratings table. This value assumes no additional heatsinking and is used for worst-case steady-state thermal analysis. For improved thermal performance, the exposed drain pad must be soldered to a large copper pour, as confirmed in the SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 package drawing documentation.
Can SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 replace N-channel MOSFETs in high-side configurations without additional circuitry?
No - the SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 is a P-channel MOSFET and can operate directly as a high-side switch with referenced gate drive, unlike N-channel devices which require bootstrap or isolated gate drivers. Its -30 V VDS rating and -7.5 A current capability make it a native high-side solution for 12 V automotive rails. Replacing an N-channel high-side switch with SQ3481EV-T1_GE3 eliminates gate drive complexity while maintaining identical functionality and layout compatibility in TSOP-6 footprints.
