Product details

Overview

SQP100N04-3M6_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 40 V drain-source voltage, 100 A continuous drain current at 25 °C, and 0.0036 Ω R_DS(on) at V_GS = 10 V. It operates up to +175 °C junction temperature and is housed in a TO-220AB package with low thermal resistance (R_thJC = 1.25 °C/W), targeting high-current DC motor control and 12 V/24 V automotive power switching.

For engineers reviewing the SQP100N04-3M6_GE3 datasheet, SQP100N04-3M6_GE3 pinout, SQP100N04-3M6_GE3 application, or SQP100N04-3M6_GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 100 % R_g and UIS tested reliability, 175 °C operation, and validated performance under pulsed avalanche stress (E_AS = 180 mJ).

Technical Context

This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in high-current automotive loads. Its gate threshold voltage (V_GS(th)) is tightly specified at 2.5–3.5 V, enabling robust drive compatibility with standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level controllers when used with appropriate gate drivers.

The device features integrated source-drain diode with V_SD = 0.9–1.5 V at I_F = 70 A and supports repetitive unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with guaranteed testing. Thermal design is enabled by its low R_thJC and defined R_thJA = 40 °C/W on 1"² FR-4 PCB - critical for engine bay and transmission control modules.

FAQ

What is the gate threshold voltage range for SQP100N04-3M6_GE3?

The gate threshold voltage (V_GS(th)) for SQP100N04-3M6_GE3 is specified as 2.5 V minimum, 3.0 V typical, and 3.5 V maximum at I_D = 250 μA. This tight range ensures consistent turn-on behavior across temperature and process variation, supporting reliable interfacing with both 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller outputs when paired with appropriate gate drivers.

Is SQP100N04-3M6_GE3 suitable for use in high-temperature under-hood applications?

Yes, SQP100N04-3M6_GE3 is rated for junction temperatures from −55 °C to +175 °C and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive use. Its R_DS(on) remains stable up to 175 °C (max 0.0072 Ω), and thermal resistance R_thJC = 1.25 °C/W enables effective heatsinking - making it suitable for engine control, transmission, and turbocharger-mounted modules.

Does SQP100N04-3M6_GE3 have avalanche capability, and is it production-tested?

Yes, SQP100N04-3M6_GE3 is rated for 60 A single-pulse avalanche current (I_AS) and 180 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (E_AS). Crucially, it undergoes 100 % unclamped inductive switching (UIS) testing during production - a key reliability screen for automotive inductive load switching applications like fuel injectors and solenoids.
