7 mOhm Rds(on) at 60 A — conduction loss floor
The AUIRL2203N is an Infineon HEXFET N-channel MOSFET rated for 30 V drain-source with a switching current of 75 A. Its on-resistance is specified at 7 mOhm maximum at 60 A drain current and 10 V gate drive — this is the conduction loss per amp, not a typical value. At 60 A the dissipation is 25.2 W (I²R) before you factor in the positive temperature coefficient of Rds(on). The 180 W rated power gives the thermal budget headroom for a heatsink in a continuous-load design.
Logic-level gate: 60 nC at 4.5 V
The gate charge is 60 nC at 4.5 V, which means a 5 V microcontroller GPIO can drive this FET into the ohmic region without a separate gate driver IC. The threshold voltage is 1 V max at 250 µA — the device is fully enhanced by 3.3 V logic, though Rds(on) is specified at 10 V for the guaranteed minimum. For a 20 kHz PWM load, the gate drive current is 1.2 mA (Qg × fsw), well within the output capability of a standard MCU pin.
175°C junction — under-hood automotive grade
The operating junction temperature range is -55°C to 175°C, which qualifies the AUIRL2203N for engine-bay and transmission-control environments where ambient temps exceed 125°C. The AUTOMOTIVE N-CHANNEL designation in the part title points to AEC-Q101 qualification and the production-part-approval process (PPAP) documentation that Tier-1 automotive buyers require. The through-hole package (TO-220AB style) suits bolted-down heatsink mounting on a power board.
