Product details
Overview
SQD100N02-3M5L from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 20 V drain-source voltage, 100 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 3.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It operates up to +175 °C junction temperature and is AEC-Q101 qualified, designed for high-current DC-DC converter primary-side switching in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the SQD100N02-3M5L datasheet, SQD100N02-3M5L pinout, SQD100N02-3M5L application, or SQD100N02-3M5L equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 70 nC total gate charge, 100 % UIS tested ruggedness, and TO-252 package suitability for thermally demanding under-hood automotive power stages.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low RDS(on) and fast switching in 20 V automotive systems. Its gate threshold voltage (1.5–2.5 V) enables robust drive compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers, while the 4300 pF input capacitance and 585 pF reverse transfer capacitance support stable PWM operation at frequencies up to 200 kHz.
The device integrates a co-packaged body diode with 0.86 V forward voltage at 50 A and supports synchronous rectification in buck converters. Its 101 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy rating and 100 % Rg testing ensure reliability in inductive load switching and load-dump transient conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS Rating | 20 V - Supports 12 V nominal automotive battery systems with margin for load dump transients. |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 3.5 mΩ - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A, critical for high-efficiency 48 V/12 V DC-DC stages. |
| ID (Cont.) @ 25 °C | 100 A - Sustains peak motor driver or starter solenoid currents without derating on 1"² FR4 PCB. |
| Junction Temp Range | −55 to +175 °C - Qualified for under-hood ECU and transmission control module environments. |
| Qg (Total) | 70 nC - Balances switching speed and gate driver power requirement for 100 kHz PWM operation. |
| RthJC | 1.8 °C/W - Allows direct heatsinking via drain-tab mounting to reduce thermal bottleneck in compact modules. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Meets stress test requirements for automotive electronics per JESD22-A108 and A112. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF100N02L | RDS(on) = 3.2 mΩ @ 10 V, but only rated to +150 °C TJ and not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for industrial motor drives but not under-hood ECUs. | Select IRF100N02L only for non-automotive cost-sensitive designs where 25 °C thermal margin suffices. |
| STL100N02LF7 | Same 20 V/100 A rating and TO-252 package, but RDS(on) = 4.0 mΩ @ 10 V and Qg = 85 nC. | Higher switching loss due to elevated Qg; requires stronger gate driver in high-frequency (>100 kHz) applications. | Choose STL100N02LF7 when AEC-Q101 compliance is secondary and board-level footprint compatibility is mandatory. |
Compared with IRF100N02L and STL100N02LF7, the SQD100N02-3M5L provides superior thermal capability (+175 °C), lower gate charge, and full automotive qualification-making it the preferred choice for safety-critical, high-temperature automotive power switching where long-term reliability is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SQD100N02-3M5L at 125 °C case temperature?
The SQD100N02-3M5L supports 65 A continuous drain current at TC = 125 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-252 package under sustained high-temperature operation, and must be verified against actual PCB layout and heatsinking in the target application.
Is SQD100N02-3M5L suitable for synchronous rectification in a 48 V to 12 V DC-DC converter?
Yes, the SQD100N02-3M5L is well-suited for synchronous rectification due to its low 3.5 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 V, 0.86 V body diode forward voltage at 50 A, and 70 nC total gate charge. Its 175 °C junction rating ensures stability in high-power density converters where thermal headroom is constrained.
Does SQD100N02-3M5L have a guaranteed gate threshold voltage range?
Yes, the SQD100N02-3M5L has a guaranteed VGS(th) range of 1.5 V to 2.5 V at ID = 250 μA, with typical variation of ±0.2 V over the full −55 to +175 °C junction temperature range. This tight distribution ensures predictable turn-on behavior across automotive ambient conditions.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SQD100N02-3M5L on a standard PCB?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) for SQD100N02-3M5L is 50 °C/W when mounted on a 1" square FR4 PCB with 2 oz. copper on both sides. This value assumes no external heatsink; actual performance improves significantly when the drain tab is soldered to a dedicated thermal pad or metal-core substrate.
How is the avalanche ruggedness of SQD100N02-3M5L validated?
The SQD100N02-3M5L undergoes 100 % unclamped inductive switching (UIS) testing per JEDEC standard JESD24-1, with a single-pulse avalanche energy rating of 101 mJ and peak current of 45 A. Each production unit is tested to ensure robustness in inductive load switching applications like solenoid and motor control.
