Product details
Overview
SQD25N06-22L_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 60 V drain-source voltage, 25 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 0.022 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It operates up to +175 °C junction temperature and is housed in a TO-252 (DPAK) package with drain-connected tab, targeting high-reliability motor control and DC-DC converter stages in under-hood automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the SQD25N06-22L_GE3 datasheet, SQD25N06-22L_GE3 pinout, SQD25N06-22L_GE3 application, or SQD25N06-22L_GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low RDS(on) at 4.5 V (0.033 Ω), 100% Rg and UIS tested performance, and thermal resistance of 2.4 °C/W (junction-to-case), critical for thermally constrained engine-control modules.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Vishay's TrenchFET® process to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with Qg = 33 nC (typ.) and tf = 6–9 ns. Its gate threshold voltage (1.5–2.5 V) enables robust 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level drive compatibility while maintaining tight VGS(th) distribution across temperature.
The device integrates a co-packaged body diode with VSD = 0.9–1.5 V at IF = 25 A and supports repetitive avalanche energy (EAS = 28 mJ), making it suitable for inductive load switching where freewheeling and transient clamping are required without external diodes.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N6LF8AG | Lower RDS(on) (0.018 Ω @ 10 V), higher Qg (42 nC), same TO-252 package, AEC-Q101 qualified | Better conduction loss but slower switching; suited for lower-frequency, high-current applications like seat heaters | Select STL220N6LF8AG when minimizing steady-state loss outweighs switching speed requirements |
| IRFZ44NPBF | Non-automotive grade, RDS(on) = 0.028 Ω @ 10 V, no AEC-Q101, higher RthJA (62 °C/W), TO-220 package | Lacks automotive reliability validation and thermal performance; limited to non-safety-critical cabin modules | Use IRFZ44NPBF only for prototyping or cost-sensitive non-automotive industrial controls |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SQD25N06-22L_GE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The SQD25N06-22L_GE3 supports 20 A continuous drain current at TC = 125 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-252 package and ensures safe operation in high-ambient environments such as engine compartments. The SQD25N06-22L_GE3 maintains stable RDS(on) up to 175 °C junction temperature, enabling reliable use in thermally aggressive automotive locations.
Is SQD25N06-22L_GE3 suitable for 4.5 V gate drive applications?
Yes, the SQD25N06-22L_GE3 is fully characterized at VGS = 4.5 V, delivering RDS(on) = 0.033 Ω (max) at ID = 20 A and 25 °C. Its gate threshold voltage range (1.5–2.5 V) ensures strong enhancement with standard 5 V logic or automotive PMIC outputs. The SQD25N06-22L_GE3 thus supports direct microcontroller interfacing without external level shifters in many automotive subsystems.
Does SQD25N06-22L_GE3 have an integrated body diode, and what is its forward voltage?
Yes, the SQD25N06-22L_GE3 includes a monolithic body diode optimized for freewheeling in inductive switching applications. At IF = 25 A and VGS = 0 V, the source-drain forward voltage (VSD) is 0.9 V (typ.) and 1.5 V (max) at 25 °C. This low VSD minimizes conduction loss during PWM off-time and supports efficient operation in synchronous rectifier and H-bridge configurations.
What thermal resistance values are specified for SQD25N06-22L_GE3?
The SQD25N06-22L_GE3 specifies RthJC = 2.4 °C/W (junction-to-case, drain tab) and RthJA = 50 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, 1"² FR4 PCB). These values enable accurate thermal modeling: with 25 A current and 0.022 Ω RDS(on), power dissipation is ~13.75 W, resulting in ~33 °C rise above case temperature. The SQD25N06-22L_GE3's low RthJC makes it ideal for direct heatsink mounting in space-constrained modules.
How is SQD25N06-22L_GE3 qualified for automotive use?
The SQD25N06-22L_GE3 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and temperature cycling. It also undergoes 100 % Rg and unclamped inductive switching (UIS) screening. These qualifications confirm its suitability for automotive powertrain, chassis, and safety-critical systems. The SQD25N06-22L_GE3 is rated for −55 to +175 °C operating junction temperature, meeting stringent under-hood environmental requirements.
