Product details
Overview
SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel 60 V MOSFET in SO-8 package, delivering RDS(on) = 0.022 Ω at VGS = 10 V and 0.031 Ω at VGS = 4.5 V, rated for continuous drain current of 12 A at TC = 25 °C and junction temperature up to +175 °C - used in high-reliability DC-DC converters and motor control stages in engine management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 datasheet, SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 pinout, SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 application, or SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, trench-based RDS(on) stability over temperature, SO-8 thermal resistance (RthJA = 85 °C/W), and single-pulse avalanche energy rating of 26 mJ.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Vishay's TrenchFET® process to achieve low on-resistance with tight gate threshold voltage distribution (VGS(th) = 1.5–2.5 V) and robust dynamic performance: Qg = 20–30 nC, Ciss = 1000–1250 pF, and fast switching with td(on) ≤ 11 ns and tf ≤ 14 ns under standard test conditions.
It features 100 % Rg and UIS testing, operates across -55 °C to +175 °C junction range, and supports bidirectional conduction via integrated body diode with VSD = 0.8–1.2 V at IF = 1.7 A and VGS = 0 V - critical for freewheeling paths in automotive H-bridge and synchronous rectifier topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - maximum blocking voltage compatible with 48 V automotive systems and transient clamping up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.022 Ω - enables <1.3 W conduction loss at 6 A, supporting compact thermal design in space-constrained ECUs. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 0.031 Ω - ensures reliable turn-on with 5 V logic-level gate drivers common in ASIL-B microcontrollers. |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25 °C) | 12 A - supports medium-power loads such as fuel pump drivers and HVAC blower stages without external heatsinking. |
| EAS | 26 mJ - provides margin against inductive switching stress in solenoid and relay drive circuits. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - meets under-hood thermal requirements per AEC-Q101, enabling placement near powertrain modules. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Yes - certified for automotive use with full stress testing including HTGB, HTRB, and UIS per Rev. G specification. |
Pinout & Package
SO-8 (MS-012) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal dissipation; dimensions per JEDEC MS-012: 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm × 1.55 mm (D × E × A), 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | Internally connected to exposed copper pad - primary current path and thermal conduction path to PCB ground plane. |
| 5 | Gate (G) | High-impedance control terminal requiring <30 nC total charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD (±20 V rating). |
| 6 | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; tied to system power ground in high-side or low-side configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchFET® construction | Enables lower RDS(on) per die area vs. planar MOSFETs, improving power density in SO-8 footprint. |
| 100 % Rg and UIS tested | Guarantees gate resistance consistency (0.3–2.1 Ω) and single-pulse avalanche ruggedness across all units. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates reliability for automotive applications including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock. |
| Low Qgd/Qgs ratio | Qgd = 4.4 nC / Qgs = 2.9 nC → ~1.52 - reduces Miller effect, enabling stable switching at >100 kHz in SMPS designs. |
| Body diode softness (trr not specified, but VSD = 0.8–1.2 V) | Supports moderate-frequency freewheeling with low reverse recovery loss in non-synchronous buck regulators. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Stage | Automotive DC-DC Converter |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side power switch operating at 300 kHz with 4.5 V gate drive from controller PWM output. Use Value: RDS(on) = 0.031 Ω at 4.5 V minimizes conduction loss while maintaining efficiency >92 % at 5 A load. |
| HVAC Blower Motor Driver | Transmission Control Module (TCM) Solenoid Interface |
Use Scenario: Half-bridge leg driving brushed DC blower motor in cabin climate system. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch in PWM-controlled H-bridge with freewheeling via integrated body diode. Use Value: VSD = 0.8–1.2 V ensures low forward drop during flyback, reducing heat generation during 100 % duty cycle operation. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL10DN6LF5 | Lower RDS(on) = 0.011 Ω @ 10 V but only rated to +150 °C; SO-8 package with different pinout (drain pins 1–4, source 5–6, gate 7). | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; intended for industrial, not automotive, use. | Select only if thermal budget permits higher TJ derating and qualification is not required. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G | RDS(on) = 0.023 Ω @ 10 V, same SO-8 footprint, AEC-Q101 qualified, but higher Qg = 34 nC and no published EAS rating. | Higher gate charge increases driver losses in high-frequency (>200 kHz) applications. | Prefer for cost-sensitive designs where switching frequency is <100 kHz and avalanche margin is secondary. |
Compared with STL10DN6LF5 and NTMFS4C09NT1G, SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 offers superior thermal capability (+175 °C), verified avalanche energy (26 mJ), and tighter VGS(th) distribution - making it optimal for safety-critical under-hood switching where reliability under transient stress is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 supports 6.9 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 must be validated with actual board layout and airflow conditions. Designers should reference the Safe Operating Area (SOA) graph on page 5 of the datasheet to confirm pulse operation margins.
Is SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 suitable for use in high-side switch configurations?
Yes, SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 can be used in high-side configurations when paired with a gate driver capable of providing VGS ≥ 10 V relative to the source node. Its VGS rating of ±20 V and 175 °C junction rating make it viable for 12 V or 48 V battery-referenced high-side switching, though level-shifting gate drive is required to maintain sufficient VGS during load dump events.
Does SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 have a specified reverse recovery time (trr) for its body diode?
No, the SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 datasheet does not specify reverse recovery time (trr). It provides forward voltage (VSD = 0.8–1.2 V at IF = 1.7 A) and pulsed source current (ISM = 48 A), but no trr or Qrr values. For synchronous rectification requiring fast recovery, designers should verify performance empirically or consider dedicated Schottky-assisted solutions.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RthJA) for SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 under standard test conditions?
The SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 85 °C/W when mounted on a 1" square FR4 PCB with 2 oz. copper on both sides. This value assumes no additional heatsinking and is measured per JEDEC JESD51-2. Actual RthJA will improve with larger copper areas, internal layers, or thermal vias - typical design practice reduces it to 40–60 °C/W in production layouts.
How is the AEC-Q101 qualification of SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 documented and verified?
The AEC-Q101 qualification of SQ4850EY-T1_BE3 is documented in Vishay's internal qualification report referenced in datasheet S21-0849-Rev. G and confirmed through third-party lab testing per AEC-Q101-001. Tests include HTGB (1000 hrs at 150 °C), HTRB (1000 hrs at 150 °C, VDS = 60 V), and UIS (23 A single-pulse avalanche). Full reports are available upon request from Vishay Automotive Technical Support.
