Automotive qualification and the under-hood decision
For a BOM destined for a 48 V mild-hybrid DC-DC converter or an engine-cooling fan drive, the AEC-Q101 stamp is the baseline — commercial-grade parts do not survive the thermal shock profile.
Gate charge and drive compatibility
With a maximum gate charge of 3.4 nC at 10 V, the STD3N95K5AG presents a light load to the gate driver. The low input capacitance of 105 pF at 100 V drain-source further reduces the switching loss contribution from the Miller plateau.
