Product details
Overview
PMEG2010ET,215 from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier rectifier with integrated guard ring for stress protection, rated at 20 V reverse voltage and 1 A forward current, featuring a typical forward voltage of 420 mV at 1 A (25 °C), housed in an SOT23 surface-mount package. It serves as a low-loss unidirectional power switch in compact DC/DC converters and reverse polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG2010ET,215 datasheet, PMEG2010ET,215 pinout, PMEG2010ET,215 application, or PMEG2010ET,215 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low VF performance at low currents (150 mV at 1 mA), tight thermal resistance to solder point (300 K/W), and validated suitability for space-constrained 5 V/3.3 V rail protection and synchronous rectification assist.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses a planar silicon structure with an integrated guard ring to suppress edge breakdown under transient stress, enabling reliable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. Its low capacitance (66–80 pF at 1 V) and fast recovery support high-frequency switching in buck converters.
The device exhibits strong temperature dependence in forward voltage-dropping to ~355 mV at 500 mA and 125 °C-while reverse leakage remains tightly bounded (≤40 µA at 10 V, 25 °C), making it suitable for battery-powered systems where standby loss matters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 20 V - Maximum blocking capability without breakdown; defines usable input range in 12 V systems. |
| Forward Current (IF) | 1 A continuous - Sustained conduction rating at ≤55 °C solder point temperature. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 420 mV typ. @ 1 A - Enables <100 mW conduction loss at full load, critical for >90% efficiency in low-voltage DC/DC. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 40 µA max. @ 20 V - Limits standby power loss in always-on circuits like USB-C port protection. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 66–80 pF @ 1 V - Supports clean switching edges up to ~10 MHz; minimizes ringing in high-dV/dt environments. |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 300 K/W - Enables 1 A operation with <30 °C rise above PCB solder point on standard FR4 layout. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - Allows operation in sealed enclosures or near heat sources without derating below 1 A. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in a standard SOT23 plastic surface-mount package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm pin pitch), the PMEG2010ET,215 features three terminals with Pin 2 internally disconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Input terminal for forward conduction; connects to higher-potential side in rectification or polarity protection. |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | No internal bond; must remain floating-no routing or grounding required. |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Output/return terminal; ties to ground or lower-potential rail; primary thermal path to PCB via cathode pad. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard Ring Integration | Suppresses edge avalanche, enabling stable 20 V VR rating without field plate or trench structures. |
| Ultra-Low VF at Low IF | 150 mV typ. @ 1 mA - Reduces quiescent loss in always-on bias networks and sensor supply rails. |
| SOT23 Footprint Compatibility | Standard 1.9 mm pitch, 3-terminal outline - Drop-in replaceable with PMEG2010AE, PMEG3010CE, and similar SOT23 Schottkys. |
| Thermal Performance | Rth(j-sp) = 300 K/W - Delivers 1 A current handling with minimal copper area; supports dense 2-layer PCB layouts. |
Applications
| USB Power Delivery Protection | Point-of-Load DC/DC Output Rectification |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Preventing reverse current flow from downstream PD controller ICs into upstream Type-C source ports during hot-plug events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional blocking diode placed between VBUS and PD controller's VCONN/VDD pins. Use Value: 420 mV VF ensures <0.5 W loss at 1 A fault current, avoiding thermal shutdown while maintaining 5 V compliance. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 5 V → 3.3 V synchronous buck converters operating at 500 kHz–1 MHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode assisting high-side MOSFET during dead time; complements synchronous rectifier control. Use Value: 80 pF capacitance limits switching node ringing; 1 A rating handles peak inductor current without saturation. |
| Industrial Sensor Node Power Rail | Reverse Polarity Input Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Isolating backup coin-cell supply from main Li-ion rail in wireless sensor nodes with dual-power architecture. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OR-ing diode enabling seamless switchover between primary and backup supplies. Use Value: 150 mV VF at 1 mA keeps self-discharge below 1 µA, extending 10-year shelf life of CR2032-backed memory. |
Use Scenario: Protecting 3.3 V microcontroller inputs against accidental −12 V connection in field-serviceable industrial I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-blocking diode on power input line; conducts only when polarity is correct. Use Value: 20 V VR withstands transients up to ±15 V; 9 A non-repetitive surge rating absorbs ESD and cable-drop energy. |
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 NSS10200LT1G | 20 V VR, 1 A IF, VF = 470 mV typ. @ 1 A; Rth(j-a) = 400 K/W (vs. 300 K/W for PMEG2010ET,215) | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~50 mW at 1 A; less effective thermal coupling to PCB. | Prefer when legacy ON Semi BOM alignment is required; verify thermal margin in high-density layouts. |
| Vishay SS12 | 20 V VR, 1 A IF, VF = 500 mV typ. @ 1 A; SOD-123 package (larger footprint, no n.c. pin) | Larger 3.7 mm × 1.6 mm body requires PCB redesign; lacks guard ring-lower surge robustness. | Select only if SOD-123 is mandated by mechanical constraints; avoid in high-transient environments. |
Compared with NSS10200LT1G and SS12, PMEG2010ET,215 delivers superior thermal performance and lower conduction loss in SOT23-constrained designs, while its guard ring enhances reliability in automotive-adjacent industrial applications despite non-automotive qualification.

FAQ
Is PMEG2010ET,215 qualified for automotive applications?
No. Per Nexperia's revision history (v.6, October 2024), PMEG2010ET,215 is explicitly designated as non-automotive qualified. It lacks AEC-Q101 stress testing and automotive-grade process controls. For automotive use, Nexperia recommends the PMEG2010ET-Q variant, which carries full AEC-Q101 qualification and extended temperature validation.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature profile for PMEG2010ET,215?
The device complies with JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow requirements for moisture sensitivity level 1. Peak reflow temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, with ramp-up rate ≤3 °C/s and ramp-down rate ≤6 °C/s. Wave soldering is supported per Figure 7 footprint, with preheat ≤150 °C and contact time ≤5 s at 260 °C.
Can Pin 2 be used as a heatsink or grounded for thermal improvement?
No. Pin 2 is internally not connected (n.c.), with no die attachment or metallization. Connecting it to ground or copper pour provides no thermal or electrical benefit and risks solder bridging or unintended shorts. Thermal performance relies solely on the cathode (Pin 3) pad, which must be routed to ≥1 cm² of copper per datasheet condition [2].
How does reverse leakage change at elevated ambient temperatures?
Reverse leakage rises exponentially with temperature: at 25 °C, IR is ≤40 µA @ 20 V; at 85 °C, it reaches ~120 µA; at 125 °C, it exceeds 300 µA. This behavior is confirmed in Figure 2 of the datasheet. Designers must verify total system standby current budget accounts for this increase in high-temperature deployments.
