Nexperia USA Inc. PMEG060T060CLPEZ

Overview

PMEG060T060CLPEZ from Nexperia is a dual common-cathode Trench Schottky barrier rectifier optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion and reverse polarity protection. It delivers 3 A average forward current per diode at 60 V reverse voltage, with 550 mV typical forward voltage at 3 A/25 °C and only 0.3 µA typical reverse leakage at 60 V/25 °C - enabling low-loss operation in compact power supplies.

For engineers reviewing the PMEG060T060CLPEZ datasheet, PMEG060T060CLPEZ pinout, PMEG060T060CLPEZ application, or PMEG060T060CLPEZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low leakage, thermally enhanced CFP15B (SOT1289B) package with 7 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance, and dual-diode common-cathode configuration for space-constrained dual-rail or redundancy designs.

Technical Context

This device implements Trench Schottky technology to achieve both low VF and exceptionally low IR - critical for maintaining efficiency in low-voltage, high-current paths where reverse leakage directly impacts standby power. Its dual-diode structure shares a single cathode terminal, reducing PCB routing complexity versus discrete solutions.

The CFP15B package uses clip-bond construction and a 1 cm² cathode mounting pad to deliver 2.15 W total power dissipation and 70 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance - enabling sustained 3 A operation under ambient temperatures up to 100 °C when properly mounted on FR4 with thermal relief.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode at 100 °C ambient temperature?

At Tamb = 100 °C with a 1 cm² cathode mounting pad on FR4, the device supports 3 A average forward current per diode under δ = 0.5 square-wave conditions (f = 20 kHz), as confirmed in Figure 9 of the datasheet. Derating is not required below this condition due to the 70 K/W Rth(j-sp) and 175 °C max junction temperature rating.

Does PMEG060T060CLPEZ support reflow soldering, and what stencil thickness is recommended?

Yes - it is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020. The recommended stencil thickness is 0.125 mm, with a solder paste aperture matching the 1.00 mm × 0.80 mm anode pads and 3.80 mm × 1.80 mm cathode tab, as specified in Figure 19 of the datasheet. This ensures optimal solder volume for thermal and mechanical reliability.

How does the common-cathode configuration affect thermal performance compared to two discrete diodes?

The shared cathode terminal enables direct thermal coupling between both diodes via the internal metal clip and external PCB copper pour. This results in balanced junction temperatures and 2.15 W total power dissipation - 15% higher than two separate SOT-23 Schottkys - because heat spreads across a unified thermal path rather than being isolated per device.

Is PMEG060T060CLPEZ suitable for automotive applications?

No - this part is not AEC-Q200 qualified and lacks automotive-specific testing or qualification. Nexperia explicitly states in Section 15 that non-automotive qualified products are unsuitable for safety-critical or automotive use.
