Product details
Overview
STL117N4LF7AG from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q101 qualified N-channel Power MOSFET using STripFET™ F7 technology in a PowerFLAT™ 5x6 wettable flank package, delivering 40 V VDS, 2.5 mΩ typ. RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 119 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 38 ns reverse recovery time - optimized for high-efficiency automotive DC-DC converters and motor control inverters.
For engineers reviewing the STL117N4LF7AG datasheet, STL117N4LF7AG pinout, STL117N4LF7AG application, or STL117N4LF7AG equivalent, key selection criteria include its low Crss/Ciss ratio for EMI immunity, high avalanche ruggedness (unclamped inductive switching rated), and wettable flank package for automated optical inspection in automotive PCB assembly.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs an enhanced trench gate structure that reduces both RDS(on) and gate charge (Qg = 27.6 nC typ.), enabling fast switching with low conduction and switching losses. Its Crss/Ciss ratio of ~3.3% (58 pF / 1780 pF) suppresses Miller-induced turn-on during high-dV/dt operation.
The device operates across -55 to 175 °C junction temperature, with Rth(j-case) = 1.6 °C/W and Rth(j-pcb) = 32 °C/W on FR-4 (1 in², 2 oz Cu), supporting thermally demanding under-hood applications where thermal reliability and SOA robustness are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V/24 V automotive battery systems and 48 V mild-hybrid architectures. |
| RDS(on) max | 3.5 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, TC = 25 °C - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 119 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID cont | 119 A at TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current power stages in traction inverters and starter generators. |
| Qg | 27.6 nC typ. - Low gate drive energy enables use with standard gate drivers (e.g., STGAP2SIC) without external boost. |
| tr/tf | 11 ns rise / 18 ns fall - Fast edge rates minimize switching transition losses in >100 kHz PWM applications. |
| Qrr | 36 nC - Low reverse recovery charge reduces diode commutation loss and EMI in synchronous rectification. |
| Tj range | -55 to 175 °C - Qualified for engine bay, transmission, and powertrain control units per AEC-Q101 stress test conditions. |
Pinout & Package
STL117N4LF7AG uses the PowerFLAT™ 5x6 WF type C package - a 5 mm × 6 mm surface-mount, wettable flank, dual-side cooling package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal performance and AOI-compatible solder joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D (Pins 5, 6, 7, 8) | Drain | Internally connected to large copper-exposed bottom pad; primary heat path to PCB; requires full-solder thermal pad for Rth(j-pcb) ≤ 32 °C/W. |
| G (Pin 4) | Gate | Single gate input terminal; low input capacitance (Ciss = 1780 pF) minimizes driver loading and layout sensitivity. |
| S (Pins 1, 2, 3) | Source | Three-source terminals reduce source inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt switching; referenced to PCB ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive powertrain and chassis applications including temperature cycling, HTRB, and UIS testing. |
| Low Crss/Ciss ratio | 3.3% (58 pF / 1780 pF) - Reduces risk of false turn-on during high-speed hard-switching in noisy environments. |
| High avalanche ruggedness | Rated for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) up to 476 A peak - supports fault-tolerant design without external snubbers. |
| Wettable flank package | Side-wettable leads enable automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder fillets - critical for zero-defect automotive manufacturing. |
| Excellent FoM (RDS(on) × Qg) | 96.6 mΩ·nC - Balances conduction and switching losses better than competing 40 V MOSFETs in same package. |
Applications
| Automotive DC-DC Converters | Electric Power Steering (EPS) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 40 V automotive power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon BSC010N04LS6 | RDS(on) = 1.0 mΩ typ. at VGS = 10 V, but Qg = 43 nC - higher switching loss and gate drive demand. | Better for ultra-low-loss fixed-frequency applications; less suitable for high-frequency ZVS or space-constrained layouts due to larger Qg. | Select when lowest possible conduction loss dominates over switching frequency and gate drive capability. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G | RDS(on) = 3.8 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V, Crss = 75 pF - higher Crss/Ciss ratio (4.2%) and no AEC-Q101 documentation in public datasheet. | Limited to non-safety-critical industrial applications; lacks validated automotive qualification evidence. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated and EMI margin is sufficient. |
Compared with BSC010N04LS6 and NTMFS4C09NT1G, STL117N4LF7AG offers the optimal balance of low RDS(on), low Qg, AEC-Q101 compliance, and wettable flank inspection - making it the preferred choice for production automotive inverters and DC-DC converters requiring zero-defect traceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for STL117N4LF7AG?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V, per Table 1 of DS11591 Rev 6. Operation beyond this risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable long-term performance, gate drive should be limited to +12 V to +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to –10 V for active miller clamping, especially in high-noise automotive environments.
Does STL117N4LF7AG support synchronous rectification in buck converters?
Yes - its low RDS(on) (2.5 mΩ typ.), fast reverse recovery (trr = 38 ns), and low Qrr (36 nC) make it suitable as a synchronous rectifier in high-current, high-frequency buck converters. The three-source pins also reduce parasitic inductance during freewheeling, minimizing voltage overshoot.
How does the wettable flank feature impact PCB assembly yield?
The wettable flank design allows automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder fillet formation on all four side terminals, enabling early detection of head-in-pillow, insufficient wetting, or tombstoning defects. This directly improves first-pass yield in automotive SMT lines targeting <10 ppm defect rates.
Can STL117N4LF7AG replace older STripFET™ F4 or F5 MOSFETs in existing designs?
Yes - it is pin-to-pin compatible with other PowerFLAT™ 5x6 devices like STL110N4LF7AG and STL100N4LF7AG. Key improvements include lower RDS(on), reduced Qg, and tighter Crss/Ciss ratio, allowing direct drop-in replacement with measurable efficiency gains and improved thermal margin without layout changes.
