Product details
Overview
SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 30 V drain-source voltage, 32 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 0.0038 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It operates up to +175 °C junction temperature and is AEC-Q101 qualified for under-hood motor control, DC-DC converter high-side switching, and battery disconnect applications.
For engineers reviewing the SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 datasheet, SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 pinout, SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 application, or SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100% UIS-tested ruggedness, SO-8 package thermal performance (RthJF = 21 °C/W), and guaranteed gate charge (Qg = 72–110 nC) for predictable PWM timing in 12 V/24 V automotive systems.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in high-reliability automotive power stages. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.5–2.5 V) enables robust drive compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers, while the integrated body diode supports synchronous rectification and freewheeling in half-bridge topologies.
The device features 100% Rg testing and is characterized for operation across -55 °C to +175 °C, with RDS(on) normalized to ≤2.0× at 175 °C. Thermal design is supported by validated junction-to-foot resistance (21 °C/W) and safe operating area curves covering single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 180 mJ) and pulsed drain current (IDM = 100 A).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V/24 V automotive battery rails including load dump transients. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.0038 Ω - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 14 A, critical for thermally constrained engine control modules. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 0.0050 Ω - Ensures low on-resistance when driven by standard logic-level controllers without gate boosters. |
| ID Continuous @ TC = 25 °C | 32 A - Supports high-current loads such as radiator fans, fuel pumps, and HVAC actuators. |
| Qg Total Gate Charge | 72–110 nC - Defines precise gate driver sizing requirements for <100 ns switching transitions in DC-DC converters. |
| TJ Operating Range | -55 to +175 °C - Validated for under-hood placement without derating in passenger and commercial vehicles. |
| EAS Single-Pulse Avalanche Energy | 180 mJ - Withstands inductive turn-off stress in motor drives without external snubbers. |
Pinout & Package
SO-8 (MS-012) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. Dimensions: 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm × 1.55 mm (D × E × A). JEDEC-compliant footprint per Application Note 826.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | Internally connected to exposed copper pad - primary heat path to PCB; must be soldered to large copper pour for RthJA = 80 °C/W. |
| 6 | Gate (G) | High-impedance MOSFET control input; requires <4.9 Ω series gate resistor to damp ringing per layout guidelines. |
| S (Source terminals not labeled separately) | Source (S) | Terminals 1–3 are source-connected in parallel - provides low-inductance return path for high di/dt switching currents. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use per stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling - eliminates need for customer requalification. |
| 100% UIS testing | Each unit subjected to unclamped inductive switching stress - ensures consistent avalanche capability across production lots. |
| TrenchFET® architecture | Delivers 25% lower RDS(on) vs. planar MOSFETs at same die size - reduces board area and thermal mass in space-constrained ECUs. |
| Exposed drain thermal pad | Enables direct thermal coupling to PCB ground plane - achieves RthJF = 21 °C/W for reliable 18 A operation at 125 °C case temperature. |
| Low Qgd/Qgs ratio | Qgd = 8 nC, Qgs = 14 nC - minimizes Miller effect, enabling stable hard-switching up to 500 kHz in buck regulators. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N3LLH6 | 30 V, 220 A rated, DFN5x6 package; RDS(on) = 0.0012 Ω @ 10 V but requires gate driver with >2 A peak current. | Targeted at high-current traction inverters; unsuitable for SO-8 footprint constraints. | Select only if board redesign allows larger DFN package and higher gate drive capability. |
| IRF7470PBF | 30 V, SO-8, RDS(on) = 0.0045 Ω @ 10 V; not AEC-Q101 qualified, max TJ = 150 °C, no UIS screening. | Limited to non-safety-critical consumer/industrial applications; lacks automotive reliability validation. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where 175 °C operation and avalanche robustness are not required. |
Compared with STL220N3LLH6 and IRF7470PBF, the SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 uniquely balances SO-8 manufacturability, AEC-Q101 compliance, and 175 °C operation - making it the only drop-in solution for legacy automotive PCBs requiring zero layout change and full qualification traceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 supports 18 A continuous drain current at TC = 125 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the SO-8 package and ensures reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as engine compartments. The SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 maintains RDS(on) ≤ 0.0060 Ω at this condition, limiting conduction loss to ~2 W.
Does SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 require a gate driver IC for automotive microcontroller interfacing?
The SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 has a gate threshold voltage of 1.5–2.5 V and is fully compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic outputs, so a dedicated gate driver IC is not mandatory. However, for PWM frequencies above 100 kHz or high-current switching (>10 A), a low-impedance driver (e.g., TC4427) is recommended to achieve full 72–110 nC gate charge delivery within <50 ns. The SQ4182EY-T1_GE3's low Rg (0.9–4.9 Ω) simplifies drive circuit design.
Is SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 suitable for synchronous rectification in a 48 V automotive DC-DC converter?
No - the SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 is rated for 30 V VDS, making it unsuitable for 48 V bus applications where transient overvoltages exceed its absolute maximum rating. It is designed for 12 V/24 V systems only. For 48 V synchronous rectification, a 60 V or 75 V rated MOSFET such as the SQJQ910EL or SiR626DP would be appropriate. The SQ182EY-T1_GE3 must not be used beyond 30 V to avoid catastrophic failure.
How is the thermal performance of SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 validated for automotive PCB layouts?
Thermal data for the SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 is measured on a standardized 1" × 1" FR4 PCB with 2 oz. copper on both sides and 100% copper coverage under the exposed drain pad. RthJA = 80 °C/W and RthJF = 21 °C/W are confirmed per JEDEC JESD51-2 and JESD51-14. The SQ4182EY-T1_GE3's SO-8 footprint matches Application Note 826 pad recommendations, and thermal simulation files are available from Vishay upon request.
What does "100% Rg and UIS tested" mean for SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 in production?
"100% Rg tested" means every SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 unit undergoes production screening for gate resistance (0.9–4.9 Ω), ensuring consistent switching behavior and EMI performance. "100% UIS tested" confirms each device passes unclamped inductive switching stress at IAS = 60 A and L = 0.1 mH - verifying avalanche ruggedness without reliance on statistical sampling. This dual screening is mandatory for AEC-Q101 compliance and distinguishes the SQ4182EY-T1_GE3 from non-automotive equivalents.
