Product details
Overview
SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel TrenchFET® Gen IV power MOSFET with 40 V VDS, 1.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 372 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It operates up to +175 °C junction temperature and is housed in a thermally enhanced PowerPAK® 8 × 8LR package for high-current motor control and DC-DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 datasheet, SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 pinout, SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 application, or SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, ultra-low RDS(on), 0.38 °C/W RthJC, and suitability for high-efficiency 48 V automotive subsystems requiring robust pulsed current handling (IDM = 670 A).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in high-power automotive applications. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 68–102 nC) and low Crss (131–184 pF) support efficient hard-switching operation in synchronous buck converters and motor drivers.
The device integrates a robust body diode with trr = 47–94 ns and Qrr = 47–94 nC, enabling reliable freewheeling in inductive loads. Thermal design is facilitated by the exposed-drain PowerPAK® 8 × 8LR footprint and validated 1" FR4 PCB thermal resistance of RthJA = 44 °C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 48 V nominal battery systems with transient margin |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 1.5 mΩ - Enables ≤ 1.5 W conduction loss at 100 A, critical for thermal management in compact modules |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25 °C) | 372 A - Supports high-current traction inverters and starter-generator interfaces without parallel devices |
| EAS | 105 mJ - Withstands single-pulse avalanche energy during load dump or inductive turn-off events |
| RthJC | 0.38 °C/W - Allows direct heatsink mounting for >300 W power dissipation with minimal ΔT |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Meets under-hood automotive temperature requirements per AEC-Q101 stress testing |
| Qg | 68–102 nC - Balances switching speed and gate drive loss in 100–200 kHz DC-DC stages |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerPAK® 8 × 8LR - Thermally optimized leadless package with exposed drain paddle on bottom side; 1.6 mm profile enables space-constrained placement in engine control units and ADAS power stages.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Pin 4) | Gate | Control terminal; requires ≤2.4 Ω gate resistance to limit ringing and ensure stable 10 V turn-on within 26 ns td(on) |
| S (Pins 1, 2, 3) | Source | Common return path for channel current; three parallel pins reduce source inductance and improve di/dt immunity |
| D (Pins 5–8) | Drain | High-current output node; four pins plus exposed copper paddle handle 372 A with <0.4 °C/W thermal path to heatsink |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 40 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL1404ZPBF | RDS(on) = 3.8 mΩ (higher), RthJC = 0.55 °C/W, TO-220AB package | Larger footprint, lower current density, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Acceptable for non-automotive 48 V industrial supplies where thermal margin exists |
| STL220N4F7AG | RDS(on) = 1.45 mΩ, PowerFLAT™ 8 × 8, AEC-Q101 qualified, but Qg = 125 nC (higher) | Higher gate drive loss limits efficiency in >100 kHz converters | Better for lower-frequency motor drives where switching loss is secondary to conduction loss |
Compared with IRL1404ZPBF and STL220N4F7AG, the SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 offers the lowest RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit (2.25 mΩ·nC), enabling highest efficiency in high-frequency, high-current automotive power stages where both conduction and switching losses must be minimized simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 supports 214 A continuous drain current at TC = 125 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the PowerPAK® 8 × 8LR package and ensures safe operation under sustained high-temperature conditions typical in engine bay environments. The SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 maintains this rating while retaining full AEC-Q101 compliance.
Does SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 have an integrated Schottky diode or only a parasitic body diode?
The SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 features only the intrinsic silicon body diode - not an integrated Schottky diode. Its body diode characteristics are fully specified: VSD = 0.8–1.1 V at 50 A, trr = 47–94 ns, and Qrr = 47–94 nC. These parameters are validated for freewheeling in motor drives and synchronous rectification, and the device is not rated for Schottky-like forward voltage or reverse recovery performance.
Is SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles?
Yes, SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow with a peak temperature of 260 °C, per the manufacturer's soldering recommendations. The device uses lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free terminations, and the PowerPAK® 8 × 8LR package is designed to withstand JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) handling. Refer to Vishay document 73257 for the full profile.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3, and how does it affect 5 V logic-level drive?
The SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 has a VGS(th) range of 2.0–3.5 V at ID = 250 μA, meaning it will begin conducting at 5 V gate drive but requires ≥10 V for full enhancement and minimum RDS(on). At 5 V, RDS(on) rises significantly above 1.5 mΩ and is not guaranteed - thus the SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 is not recommended for true 5 V logic-level operation without gate boosting.
How is the thermal performance of SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 validated - is RthJC measured or simulated?
The RthJC value of 0.38 °C/W for SQJQ148ER-T1_GE3 is a measured parameter per JEDEC JESD51-14, using a calibrated cold plate setup with thermocouple attachment to the drain paddle. It is not a simulation-only value. This measurement is confirmed across multiple production lots and forms the basis for thermal design guidance in Vishay's application notes and land pattern documentation (doc# 63166).
