Product details
Overview
SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel 60 V TrenchFET® power MOSFET in SO-8 package, with RDS(on) = 0.022 Ω at VGS = 10 V, 12 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood motor control and DC-DC converter high-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 datasheet, SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 pinout, SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 application, or SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, SO-8 terminal mapping, and validated automotive alternatives aligned to ISO/TS 16949 design requirements.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in 12 V/24 V automotive systems. It features 100 % Rg and UIS testing, guaranteed junction temperature operation up to +175 °C, and body diode recovery time (trr) of 20–40 ns at 100 A/μs di/dt.
The device supports gate drive compatibility with standard 4.5 V logic-level controllers and exhibits normalized RDS(on) drift of <1.3× from −55 °C to +175 °C. Its SO-8 footprint enables dual-source PCB layout with industry-standard thermal pad grounding for junction-to-foot RthJF = 22 °C/W.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 60 V automotive MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N6F7AG | RDS(on) = 0.0018 Ω @ 10 V (lower), but SO-8 package lacks exposed drain pad; RthJA = 50 °C/W vs. 85 °C/W for SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3. | Better conduction efficiency in low-heat-sink designs; less suitable for high-power density layouts requiring thermal pad soldering. | Select when ultra-low RDS(on) dominates over thermal management flexibility. |
| IRF7470PBF | Same SO-8 package and 60 V rating, but RDS(on) = 0.032 Ω @ 10 V and not AEC-Q101 qualified; TJ max = +175 °C not validated. | Limited to non-safety-critical industrial or consumer applications; requires additional qualification effort for automotive use. | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive prototypes where AEC-Q101 compliance is not mandated. |
Compared with STL220N6F7AG and IRF7470PBF, SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 uniquely balances AEC-Q101 validation, SO-8 thermal pad integration, and 22.3 nC gate charge-making it optimal for production-grade automotive power stages where reliability, thermal margin, and drive simplicity are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 supports 6.9 A continuous drain current at TC = 125 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the SO-8 package under sustained high-temperature operation, and must be applied in thermal simulations for under-hood ECU designs where ambient exceeds 85 °C.
Is SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 suitable for high-frequency PWM applications above 200 kHz?
Yes, SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 supports PWM frequencies up to 500 kHz due to its low total gate charge (22.3 nC typical) and fast switching times (tr = 4–14 ns, tf = 11–14 ns). However, gate driver selection must account for Qgd/Qgs ratio (5.1 nC / 4.1 nC) to avoid Miller-induced shoot-through in half-bridge configurations.
Does SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 include integrated ESD protection on the gate terminal?
No, SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 does not integrate ESD protection circuitry. Its gate-source leakage (IGSS) is specified at ±100 nA at ±20 V, and gate oxide robustness relies on external TVS or RC snubbers per Vishay Application Note AN826. AEC-Q101 qualification includes HBM testing to ≥2 kV, but system-level ESD design remains the responsibility of the end-user.
Can SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 replace older Vishay SQ4850EY in existing designs?
Yes, SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 is a drop-in replacement for SQ4850EY with identical SO-8 pinout, electrical specifications, and thermal characteristics. The "C" suffix denotes updated wafer fabrication and enhanced UIS robustness, while "GE3" indicates lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free construction compliant with RoHS and ELV directives-no PCB or firmware changes are required.
What is the safe operating area (SOA) limitation for SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 in linear mode operation?
In linear (ohmic) mode, SQ4850CEY-T1_GE3 is limited by its maximum power dissipation of 6.8 W at TC = 25 °C and RDS(on)-dependent thermal runaway. The published SOA curve shows DC operation bounded by RDS(on) at VDS < 10 V and by package thermal limit at higher VDS. For sustained linear use, derate power by 50 % above 85 °C case temperature to prevent thermal instability.
