Product details
Overview
STI360N4F6 from STMicroelectronics is an automotive-grade N-channel Power MOSFET using STripFET™ F6 trench gate technology, rated for 40 V VDS, 1.46 mΩ typ. RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 60 A, 120 A continuous drain current, and qualified to AEC-Q101. It operates in I²PAK (TO-262) package and targets high-current DC-DC converters and motor control stages in engine management systems.
For engineers reviewing the STI360N4F6 datasheet, STI360N4F6 pinout, STI360N4F6 application, or STI360N4F6 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low 0.5 °C/W Rthj-case, 304 nC total gate charge, 44 ns reverse recovery time, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood switching use.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a refined trench-gate STripFET™ F6 structure to minimize conduction loss while maintaining robust avalanche capability (unclamped inductive switching tested per Figure 16). Its 1.46 mΩ typ. RDS(on) enables high-efficiency 12 V/24 V automotive power stages with minimal thermal derating up to TC = 100 °C.
The device delivers fast switching performance: 64 ns turn-on delay, 182 ns rise time, and 47 nC Qrr with 2.1 A IRRM, supporting hard-switched topologies up to ~100 kHz. Gate drive compatibility is ensured by VGS(th) of 3–4.5 V and ±20 V VGS rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V/24 V automotive battery rail applications. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 1.46 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 60 A - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 120 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID cont. | 120 A at TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current load switching without parallel devices in compact layouts. |
| Qg | 304 nC - Determines gate driver current demand; requires ≥60 mA average drive for 100 kHz switching. |
| Rthj-case max | 0.5 °C/W - Allows direct mounting to chassis or heatsink for >250 W power dissipation at ΔT = 125 °C. |
| trr | 44 ns - Limits switching losses during freewheeling in synchronous rectification and H-bridge motor drives. |
Pinout & Package
STI360N4F6 is housed in the I²PAK (TO-262) package: 3-pin, insulated tab, through-hole mount, with drain connected to the exposed metal tab for thermal and electrical connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Source) | Source terminal | Low-side reference node; connects to ground or low-side switch node in half-bridge configurations. |
| 2 (Gate) | Control input | High-impedance MOSFET gate requiring <100 nA leakage; driven by logic-level or dedicated gate driver. |
| 3 (Drain / Tab) | Power output / heat path | Electrically and thermally connected to internal drain; must be isolated from PCB ground unless system design permits. |
Key Features

|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood operation across −40 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range. |
| Very low RDS(on) | 1.46 mΩ typ. reduces I²R losses by >35% vs prior-generation F5 MOSFETs at same die size. |
| High avalanche ruggedness | Rated for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with guaranteed energy absorption per JEDEC JESD24-11. |
| Low gate charge | 304 nC Qg enables efficient 100 kHz+ PWM operation with standard 1-A gate drivers. |
| Low VSD | 1.3 V forward voltage at ISD = 120 A supports efficient body-diode conduction during dead-time intervals. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF3205PbF | RDS(on) = 8.0 mΩ (higher), Qg = 71 nC (lower), not AEC-Q101 qualified | Suitable only for non-automotive industrial or consumer applications | Select only if AEC-Q101 compliance is unnecessary and thermal margin allows higher RDS(on). |
| STL360N4F6 | Same STripFET™ F6 die but in PowerFLAT™ 5x6 package; RDS(on) = 1.55 mΩ, surface-mount only | Requires PCB redesign for SMT assembly; no through-hole option | Choose for space-constrained, high-density automotive PCBs where reflow compatibility is mandatory. |
Compared with IRF3205PbF and STL360N4F6, STI360N4F6 uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, through-hole I²PAK packaging, and industry-leading 1.46 mΩ RDS(on), making it optimal for production automotive power stages requiring field-proven reliability and serviceable assembly.

FAQ
Is STI360N4F6 pin-compatible with STP360N4F6?
No. STI360N4F6 uses the I²PAK (TO-262) package with 3 pins in linear order (Source–Gate–Drain/Tab), while STP360N4F6 uses TO-220 with identical pinout but different mechanical footprint and thermal interface. PCB layout and heatsink mounting differ significantly.
What is the maximum safe operating area (SOA) at TC = 100 °C?
Per Figure 2 in the datasheet, the SOA at TC = 100 °C supports 120 A continuous current up to VDS = 10 V, and 40 A up to VDS = 40 V in single-pulse mode. Derating is required beyond these boundaries to avoid thermal runaway.
Does STI360N4F6 require a gate resistor for automotive EMI compliance?
Yes. A 4.7 Ω gate resistor is specified in the switching test circuit (Figure 13) to limit di/dt and suppress ringing. For CAN-bus adjacent systems, a 10–22 Ω resistor combined with ferrite bead filtering is recommended to meet CISPR 25 Class 5 radiated emissions limits.
Can STI360N4F6 replace older STB360N4F6 in existing designs?
Yes, with verification. STI360N4F6 shares identical electrical specs and I²PAK package with STB360N4F6 but features improved RDS(on) (1.46 mΩ vs 1.65 mΩ) and tighter Qg distribution. Layout and thermal interface remain compatible; no PCB change is needed.
