Product details
Overview
SQP120N06-06_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 60 V drain-source voltage, 119 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 0.006 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It operates up to +175 °C junction temperature and is AEC-Q101 qualified for under-hood motor control and DC-DC converter applications.
For engineers reviewing the SQP120N06-06_GE3 datasheet, SQP120N06-06_GE3 pinout, SQP120N06-06_GE3 application, or SQP120N06-06_GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) at high temperature, 100 % UIS testing, TO-220AB package thermal performance, and gate charge profile for high-frequency switching in 12 V/48 V automotive systems.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low on-resistance and high current density in a standard through-hole TO-220AB package. Its 0.88 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance enables high-power operation with minimal heatsink requirements when mounted on PCBs or bolted to chassis.
The device features fully characterized dynamic parameters including 96.5 nC typical total gate charge, 27.2 nC gate-drain charge, and sub-24 ns turn-on delay - optimized for synchronous rectification and high-side switching in automotive DC-DC converters and motor drivers.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N6F7AG | RDS(on) = 0.0042 Ω @ 10 V (lower), but only rated to 150 °C TJ and not AEC-Q101 qualified | Requires additional qualification for automotive use; better suited for industrial UPS or solar inverters | Select STL220N6F7AG only if AEC-Q101 is not required and lower RDS(on) justifies extra validation effort |
| IRFB4115PBF | RDS(on) = 0.0055 Ω @ 10 V, 175 °C rating, but lacks 100 % UIS and AEC-Q101 documentation | Used in legacy automotive designs but lacks current-generation stress test traceability | Choose IRFB4115PBF only for cost-sensitive non-safety-critical replacements where UIS margin is verified externally |
Compared with STL220N6F7AG and IRFB4115PBF, SQP120N06-06_GE3 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 100 % UIS testing, and documented 175 °C operation - eliminating design-in risk for new automotive power modules without compromising thermal or conduction performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SQP120N06-06_GE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The SQP120N06-06_GE3 supports 68 A continuous drain current at TC = 125 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-220AB package and ensures safe operation in high-ambient environments such as engine compartments. The device maintains 0.0104 Ω RDS(on) at this condition, enabling predictable power loss calculation.
Is SQP120N06-06_GE3 pin-compatible with other TO-220AB N-channel MOSFETs?
SQP120N06-06_GE3 uses standard TO-220AB pinout (Drain–Gate–Source, left-to-right with tab facing outward), matching industry layout conventions. However, pin compatibility alone does not guarantee functional equivalence - RDS(on), gate charge, and thermal behavior must be verified against target circuit requirements before substitution.
Does SQP120N06-06_GE3 include integrated ESD protection on the gate terminal?
SQP120N06-06_GE3 specifies ±20 V maximum gate-source voltage and ±100 nA gate leakage at ±20 V, indicating robust gate oxide integrity. While not labeled "ESD-protected" in the datasheet, its 100 % Rg and UIS testing imply gate structure hardened against transient overstress - external TVS remains recommended for system-level ESD immunity per ISO 10605.
What is the typical total gate charge (Qg) value for SQP120N06-06_GE3 and how does it impact gate driver selection?
The SQP120N06-06_GE3 has a typical total gate charge of 96.5 nC at VGS = 10 V, VDS = 30 V, and ID = 75 A. This value determines peak gate current requirements: for 20 ns rise time, a driver must source ~4.8 A peak. Gate drivers like the UCC27531 or IRS2007 are commonly paired to meet this demand while managing Qgd-induced Miller effects.
Can SQP120N06-06_GE3 be used in synchronous rectification configurations?
Yes, SQP120N06-06_GE3 is suitable for synchronous rectification due to its low RDS(on) (0.006 Ω), fast switching (td(on) = 16 ns typ.), and low reverse recovery charge in its body diode. Its 0.9–1.5 V VSD at 75 A supports efficient freewheeling, and the 175 °C rating ensures stability in high-duty-cycle SMPS designs.
