Product details
Overview
SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 30 V drain-source voltage, 100 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and RDS(on) of 3.2 mΩ at VGS = 10 V. It features AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and TO-252 (DPAK) package with drain-connected tab-designed for high-current DC-DC converters and motor control in engine management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3 datasheet, SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3 pinout, SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3 application, or SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.2 mΩ on-resistance at 10 V gate drive, 100 % Rg and UIS testing, thermal performance under 125 °C case conditions, and compliance with automotive reliability standards.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low RDS(on) and high current density in a surface-mount TO-252 package. Its gate threshold voltage (1.5–2.5 V) enables compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level drivers, while the 77 nC total gate charge supports efficient switching in high-frequency synchronous buck stages.
The device integrates a robust body diode with 0.85–1.2 V forward voltage at 40 A and supports unclamped inductive switching up to 180 mJ avalanche energy. Thermal resistance from junction-to-case is 1.1 °C/W, enabling high-power operation when mounted on thermally optimized PCBs per Vishay's recommended DPAK pad layout.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N3LLH6 | 30 V, 220 A, RDS(on) = 1.7 mΩ @ 10 V, TO-263 package, AEC-Q101 qualified | Higher current rating and lower RDS(on), but larger footprint and higher gate charge (120 nC) | Select when board space allows larger package and system requires >150 A capability with lower conduction loss |
| IRF100N03LPM | 30 V, 100 A, RDS(on) = 3.3 mΩ @ 10 V, TO-252, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification; lower cost but unsuitable for safety-critical ECU use | Select for non-automotive industrial or consumer applications where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with STL220N3LLH6 and IRF100N03LPM, the SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3 offers optimal balance of automotive qualification, thermal performance (1.1 °C/W RthJC), and compact TO-252 footprint-making it preferred for space-constrained, high-reliability 100 A power stages where qualification and thermal efficiency are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3 supports 89 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 elevated ambient conditions and must be validated against actual PCB layout and airflow in the target application.
Is SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3 suitable for logic-level gate drive applications?
Yes, the SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3 has a gate threshold voltage range of 1.5–2.5 V and delivers RDS(on) = 3.9 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, making it compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller outputs without requiring level-shifting circuitry-ideal for direct-drive automotive MCU interfaces.
Does SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3 include avalanche energy rating information?
Yes, the SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3 is rated for 180 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) with L = 0.1 mH, verified per JEDEC JESD24-1. This specification ensures robustness against inductive switching stress in motor control and relay-driving applications without external protection components.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3 under standard PCB mounting?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RthJA) for SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3 is 50 °C/W when mounted on a 1" square FR-4 PCB with 2 oz. copper on both sides. This value assumes no external heatsink and serves as a baseline for thermal design; actual performance improves significantly with enhanced copper area or thermal vias.
How is the drain terminal connected in the TO-252 package of SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3?
In the SQD100N03-3M2L_GE3, the drain is internally connected to the exposed metal tab of the TO-252 package. This tab must be soldered directly to a large PCB copper pour to serve dual functions: conducting high current and dissipating heat-no separate heatsink is required if thermal design guidelines are followed.
