Product details
Overview
PMEG2005ET-QR from Nexperia is a 20 V, 0.5 A automotive-qualified Schottky barrier rectifier in SOT23 package, featuring 355–390 mV forward voltage at 500 mA, integrated guard ring for stress protection, and optimized for low-voltage DC/DC conversion and reverse polarity protection in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG2005ET-QR datasheet, PMEG2005ET-QR pinout, PMEG2005ET-QR application, or PMEG2005ET-QR equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low VF at rated current, AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT23 thermal performance under 420 mW dissipation, and n.c. terminal configuration for layout flexibility.
Technical Context
This MEGA Schottky rectifier uses planar silicon construction with an integrated guard ring to suppress edge breakdown and improve surge robustness. Its low VF stems from optimized metal-semiconductor interface and thin epitaxial layer design, enabling high efficiency in 3.3 V and 5 V rail generation.
It operates within −65 °C to 150 °C junction temperature range and supports pulsed forward currents up to 10 A (8 ms), making it suitable for transient-tolerant automotive power rails. Reverse leakage remains ≤200 µA at 20 V and 25 °C, critical for battery-sensitive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 355–390 mV at 500 mA; enables <150 mW conduction loss in 3.3 V buck converters |
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 20 V max; supports 12 V automotive battery systems with margin for load dump transients |
| Forward Current (IF) | 0.5 A continuous; sufficient for auxiliary rail regulation in body control modules |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤200 µA at 20 V, 25 °C; minimizes standby power drain in always-on circuits |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 66–80 pF at 1 V; ensures minimal switching node ringing in high-frequency SMPS |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | −65 to +150 °C; meets under-hood thermal requirements without derating |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes; validated for automotive discrete semiconductor stress testing per AEC standard |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in a standard SOT23 plastic surface-mount package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm, 1.9 mm pin pitch), with exposed cathode pad for enhanced thermal conduction on FR4 PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Input terminal for forward conduction; connects to input rail or switch node |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally unconnected; allows routing clearance or grounding for EMI reduction |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Output terminal; tied to output rail or ground return path; thermally coupled to PCB pad |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low forward voltage | 355–390 mV @ 500 mA reduces conduction loss by >40% vs. standard Schottkys |
| Integrated guard ring | Suppresses edge avalanche and improves reliability under repetitive surge stress |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD tests |
| SOT23 thermal design | 420 mW total power dissipation with 1 cm² cathode copper pad; supports compact layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSR0520HT1G | 20 V, 0.5 A; VF = 370–450 mV @ 500 mA; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Rated for industrial/commercial use only; not validated for automotive temperature cycling or HTRB | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and higher VF tolerance is acceptable |
| Vishay SS22 | 20 V, 2 A; VF = 450–550 mV @ 2 A; SOD-123 package; larger footprint and thermal mass | Higher current rating but 2× VF and 3× package area; unsuitable for space-constrained automotive modules | Choose only if system requires >0.5 A continuous current and board area permits SOD-123 |
Compared with NSR0520HT1G and SS22, PMEG2005ET-QR delivers the lowest VF in its class with automotive-grade reliability and minimal footprint-critical for ECU miniaturization and thermal management in confined enclosures.

FAQ
Is PMEG2005ET-QR pin-compatible with standard SOT23 diodes?
Yes, PMEG2005ET-QR uses standard SOT23 pinout: Pin 1 = Anode, Pin 2 = n.c., Pin 3 = Cathode. The n.c. terminal is internally unconnected and may be left floating, grounded, or used for thermal relief-no electrical conflict arises with legacy SOT23 diode footprints.
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for optimal thermal performance?
With a 1 cm² cathode-side copper pad on FR4 (single-sided, tin-plated), PMEG2005ET-QR achieves 300 K/W Rth(j-a), enabling full 0.5 A operation at 70 °C ambient. Larger pads yield diminishing returns; minimum recommended is 0.5 cm² for 420 mW dissipation at 25 °C ambient.
Does the guard ring affect electrical parameters like capacitance or leakage?
No-the guard ring is a passive structural feature that does not alter Cd or IR values. It resides outside the active junction region and serves solely to redistribute electric field at the silicon edge, improving surge withstand without impacting forward or reverse characteristics.
Can PMEG2005ET-QR be used in synchronous rectification topologies?
No-it is a passive Schottky rectifier, not a MOSFET-based synchronous rectifier controller or driver. Its role is limited to uncontrolled unidirectional conduction; synchronous designs require gate-driven N-channel FETs with timing control circuitry external to this device.
