Product details
Overview
SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel TrenchFET® Gen IV power MOSFET with 60 V VDS, 12 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 VGS, and 75 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, designed for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and motor control in under-hood automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 datasheet, SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 pinout, SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 application, or SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 equivalent, this device delivers AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C junction temperature capability, and low gate charge (38 nC typical) for fast switching in space-constrained power stages.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-based silicon structure optimized for low conduction loss and robust avalanche performance, with 48 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy and 100% UIS testing. Its thermal design targets high-power density mounting on FR4 PCBs with 1"² copper area.
The device operates with gate threshold voltage of 1.5–2.5 V and exhibits stable RDS(on) up to 175 °C (0.033 Ω max at 10 VGS, 15 A, TJ = 175 °C), enabling reliable operation in engine compartment environments without derating penalties typical of lower-temperature-rated MOSFETs.
Key Specifications

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 | Higher RDS(on) (1.8 mΩ min at 10 VGS, but 2.2 mΩ typical); larger PowerFLAT 5x6 package; no AEC-Q101 documentation in public datasheet. | Targeted at industrial motor drives; lacks documented automotive qualification and 175 °C operation. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs AEC-Q101 compliance and thermal margin requirements. |
| IRF100N04S4-1P | Lower voltage rating (40 V); TO-252 package; RDS(on) = 1.4 mΩ at 10 VGS; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Suitable only for 12/24 V non-critical systems; unsuitable for 48 V or under-hood thermal environments. | Choose only for legacy 12 V chassis applications where 60 V rating and 175 °C operation are unnecessary. |
Compared with STL220N6F7AG and IRF100N04S4-1P, SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 provides verified AEC-Q101 compliance, superior thermal capability (175 °C vs. 150 °C), and lower gate charge-making it the only option qualified for next-generation 48 V mild hybrid power distribution modules requiring zero derating at peak ambient temperature.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 supports 43 A continuous drain current at TC = 125 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derated value reflects thermal limits of the PowerPAK SO-8L package under real-world PCB thermal conditions and ensures long-term reliability in high-ambient automotive environments.
Does SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 have integrated ESD protection on the gate terminal?
SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 does not include on-die ESD protection structures. However, it undergoes 100% Rg testing per AEC-Q101, verifying gate oxide integrity against human-body-model (HBM) and charged-device-model (CDM) events during manufacturing. External gate protection remains recommended in high-noise automotive harness environments.
Can SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 be used in synchronous rectification topologies?
Yes, SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 is suitable for synchronous rectification due to its low RDS(on) (12 mΩ at 10 VGS) and fast body diode recovery (trr = 21–42 ns). Its low Qrr (18–36 nC) and soft recovery characteristics reduce switching loss and EMI in forward and LLC converters.
What is the gate-source voltage limit for SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3, and is negative VGS allowed?
The SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 has a gate-source voltage limit of ±20 V, meaning –20 V to +20 V is permissible. Negative VGS is allowed and commonly used during active gate control to ensure rapid turn-off and prevent spurious turn-on in high-dV/dt environments such as motor drives.
Is the exposed drain paddle on SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 electrically connected to any pin?
Yes, the exposed drain paddle on SQJ164ELP-T1_GE3 is internally connected to Pin 6 (Drain) and must be soldered to a PCB copper pour designated as the main power ground or high-current return path. It is not isolated and serves as both the primary thermal and electrical drain connection.
