Product details
Overview
PMEG3010EXE-QX from Nexperia is a 30 V, 1 A automotive-qualified Schottky barrier rectifier in CFP3-HP (SOD123HP) package, designed for low-voltage DC/DC conversion and reverse polarity protection. It delivers 405 mV typical forward voltage at 1 A and 25 °C, 15 µA max reverse leakage at 30 V and 25 °C, and supports 50 A non-repetitive surge current - enabling high-efficiency power path management in space-constrained automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG3010EXE-QX datasheet, PMEG3010EXE-QX pinout, PMEG3010EXE-QX application, or PMEG3010EXE-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, clip-bond thermal performance (Rth(j-sp) = 6 K/W), 175 °C junction rating, and SOD123HP footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This planar Schottky diode uses metal–semiconductor junction technology to achieve fast switching (trr ≤ 7 ns) and near-zero reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 2.5 nC), eliminating switching losses in high-frequency SMPS topologies. Its low VF and low IR are maintained across -40 °C to 125 °C operating range, supporting stable operation in engine bay and ADAS modules.
The CFP3-HP package integrates an exposed cathode heatsink tab directly bonded to the die, delivering 1.3 W total power dissipation on 1 cm² copper pad and reducing thermal resistance to solder point by 80% versus standard SOD123. This architecture enables sustained 1 A average current at 100 °C ambient without derating.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS1L30Q | Same 30 V/1 A rating but TO-277A package; Rth(j-a) = 120 K/W vs. 115 K/W for PMEG3010EXE-QX | Larger footprint (4.5 × 3.5 mm); less suitable for ultra-thin camera modules | Prefer when higher single-pulse surge margin (60 A) is required over thermal density |
| ONsemi NSR1030HT1G | Lower VF (360 mV typ), but only AEC-Q100 qualified; no 175 °C Tj rating | Not rated for under-hood use above 150 °C ambient | Acceptable for cabin-mounted infotainment, not for engine control units |
Compared with STPS1L30Q and NSR1030HT1G, PMEG3010EXE-QX uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C Tj, and SOD123HP's 2.8 mm × 1.8 mm footprint - making it the only option for thermally constrained, high-reliability automotive power rails.

FAQ
Is PMEG3010EXE-QX pin-compatible with standard SOD123 Schottky diodes?
Yes - it uses the industry-standard SOD123HP (CFP3-HP) footprint with identical 2.80 mm × 1.80 mm outline and 2.05 mm anode-to-cathode centerline spacing. The exposed cathode tab aligns with IPC-7351B SOD123HP land patterns, enabling drop-in replacement without PCB redesign.
What is the maximum continuous forward current at 100 °C ambient temperature?
At 100 °C ambient with 1 cm² cathode copper pad, PMEG3010EXE-QX supports 1.0 A average forward current (δ = 0.5, 20 kHz square wave) per Figure 9. Derating begins above 100 °C ambient, reaching 0.75 A at 125 °C ambient.
Does PMEG3010EXE-QX require a heatsink for 1 A operation?
No external heatsink is required. With a 1 cm² copper pad under the cathode tab, its Rth(j-sp) = 6 K/W and Rth(sp-a) ≈ 109 K/W enable 1 A continuous operation at ≤100 °C ambient. Thermal simulation shows 112 °C junction temperature at 1 A/100 °C ambient - within the 175 °C limit.
How does the clip-bond construction improve reliability versus wire-bonded Schottky diodes?
Clip bonding replaces aluminum wires with a copper strap directly connecting die to leadframe, increasing current capacity by 40%, reducing thermal resistance by 35%, and eliminating wirebond fatigue failure modes. This extends lifetime in vibration-prone automotive environments and improves surge robustness during load dump events.
