Product details
Overview
SQS423ENW-T1_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET rated for -30 V drain-source voltage, 0.021 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, and -16 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It operates up to +175 °C junction temperature and is used in high-reliability load switching for automotive body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SQS423ENW-T1_GE3 datasheet, SQS423ENW-T1_GE3 pinout, SQS423ENW-T1_GE3 application, or SQS423ENW-T1_GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, PowerPAK 1212-8W leadless package thermal performance, -1.5 V to -2.5 V gate threshold, and 100 % Rg and UIS testing for robustness in automotive transients.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses TrenchFET® technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with 17 nC typical total gate charge and 2.4 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance. Its gate threshold voltage range (-1.5 V to -2.5 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard automotive logic-level drive.
The device supports unidirectional load switching in high-side configurations, with a source-drain diode forward voltage of -0.8 V to -1.2 V at -8.8 A and single-pulse avalanche energy rating of 24 mJ - critical for inductive load handling in 12 V vehicle systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SQS423ENW-T1_GE3?
The SQS423ENW-T1_GE3 has a maximum operating junction temperature of +175 °C, validated per AEC-Q101 stress test conditions. This rating enables deployment in under-hood locations such as engine control units and transmission control modules where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C. The device maintains specified RDS(on) and switching parameters across its full -55 °C to +175 °C operating range.
Is SQS423ENW-T1_GE3 qualified to AEC-Q101 standards?
Yes, SQS423ENW-T1_GE3 is fully AEC-Q101 qualified. Vishay Siliconix subjects this part to temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and unclamped inductive switching (UIS) tests per AEC-Q101 Rev. D. Qualification documentation, including test reports and reliability data, is available under document number 75549 on the Vishay website.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SQS423ENW-T1_GE3?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SQS423ENW-T1_GE3 is specified from -1.5 V to -2.5 V at ID = -250 μA. This range ensures consistent turn-on behavior with standard 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs when used with appropriate gate pull-up networks, supporting reliable high-side switching in automotive logic interfaces.
Does SQS423ENW-T1_GE3 have avalanche capability?
Yes, SQS423ENW-T1_GE3 is rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 24 mJ with L = 0.1 mH. This capability allows safe operation during inductive load switching events such as motor stall or solenoid de-energization without requiring external snubber circuits - a key requirement for automotive power distribution systems.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for SQS423ENW-T1_GE3?
The junction-to-case (drain) thermal resistance (RthJC) for SQS423ENW-T1_GE3 is 2.4 °C/W. This low value reflects the PowerPAK 1212-8W package's exposed drain paddle design, which provides a direct thermal path to the PCB copper or external heatsink - essential for maintaining safe junction temperatures in high-current automotive applications.
