Product details
Overview
PMEG3020BEP from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier rectifier with integrated guard ring for stress protection, designed for low-voltage, high-efficiency DC-to-DC conversion and reverse polarity protection. It delivers 2 A average forward current at ≤30 V reverse voltage, with typical forward voltage of 400 mV at 2 A and 25 °C, housed in a compact SOD128 (CFP5) surface-mount package.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG3020BEP datasheet, PMEG3020BEP pinout, PMEG3020BEP application, or PMEG3020BEP equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF performance under 2 A load, thermal resistance to solder point (12 K/W), reverse leakage <100 µA at 30 V, and compatibility with reflow/wave soldering on FR4 or ceramic PCBs.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode employs clip-bond technology to enhance power capability and thermal performance, enabling stable operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. Its guard ring structure improves robustness against electrical overstress and transient voltage spikes during system startup or fault conditions.
The device exhibits low capacitance (340 pF at 1 V, 1 MHz) and tightly controlled reverse leakage (35–100 µA at VR = 30 V), making it suitable for high-frequency switching topologies where capacitive losses and standby power must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF(AV) | 2 A average forward current - supports continuous 2 A DC or pulsed loads with δ = 0.5 at Tsp ≤ 140 °C |
| VR | 30 V reverse voltage - rated for use in 24 V nominal systems with margin for transients |
| VF @ 2 A | 400–450 mV - reduces conduction loss by ~40% vs. standard silicon diodes in low-VF SMPS designs |
| IR @ 30 V | 35–100 µA - enables low standby power in battery-powered reverse-polarity protection circuits |
| Rth(j-sp) | 12 K/W - low thermal resistance to cathode solder point enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper pour |
| Cd @ 1 V | 340 pF - limits high-frequency displacement current and EMI in fast-switching converters |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in a SOD128 (CFP5) plastic surface-mount package: 3.8 mm × 2.6 mm × 1.0 mm body, 4 mm pitch, flat lead profile optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance on FR4 or Al₂O₃ substrates.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Main current exit terminal; marked with bar; connects to output rail or ground return path in reverse polarity protection |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Main current entry terminal; connects to input supply or switch node in freewheeling/rectification paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated guard ring | Improves ruggedness against EOS and dv/dt-induced turn-on in high-speed switching nodes |
| Clip-bond construction | Enables higher current density and lower thermal resistance vs. wire-bonded equivalents |
| SOD128 footprint | Standardized 2-terminal layout compatible with IPC-7351B reflow land patterns (4.4 mm × 2.5 mm) |
| Wave & reflow compatible | Rated for both Pb-free reflow (JEDEC J-STD-020) and wave soldering per Fig. 15–16 footprints |
Applications
| Low Voltage Rectification | High-Efficiency DC-DC Conversion |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Output rectification in 3.3 V or 5 V synchronous buck converters where minimal forward drop is critical. IC Role / Device Role: Freewheeling diode replacing MOSFET body diode in asynchronous designs or supplementing synchronous rectifiers during dead-time. Use Value: 400 mV VF at 2 A reduces conduction loss by >0.8 W vs. 1.2 V Si diode, directly improving efficiency at light-to-moderate loads. |
Use Scenario: Input-side reverse polarity protection in 12 V/24 V industrial power modules. IC Role / Device Role: Series-connected anode-to-input, cathode-to-system-rail, blocking reverse connection while passing forward current. Use Value: Low IR (<100 µA) ensures <2.5 µW standby dissipation at 24 V, preserving battery life in always-on equipment. |
| Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) | Low Power Consumption Applications |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated flyback or forward converters delivering ≤2 A at ≤12 V. IC Role / Device Role: Primary unidirectional current path in transformer secondary winding, handling high-frequency AC-to-DC conversion. Use Value: 340 pF capacitance at 1 V minimizes switching loss and ringing during turn-off, easing EMI filter design. |
Use Scenario: Reverse battery protection in portable medical sensors or IoT edge nodes powered by coin cells or Li-ion packs. IC Role / Device Role: Cathode grounded, anode connected to battery terminal - blocks reverse current while adding <0.45 V dropout in forward path. Use Value: 150 °C max junction temperature rating allows operation in sealed enclosures without active cooling. |
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 NSS20201MR6T1G | Same SOD128 package; VF = 420 mV @ 2 A; IR = 120 µA @ 30 V; Rth(j-a) = 190 K/W (FR4) | Higher IR increases standby loss in battery-critical apps; lower thermal performance limits sustained 2 A operation on standard FR4 | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs leakage or thermal requirements; verify board layout derating. |
| Vishay SS22 | SMB package (larger); VF = 500 mV @ 2 A; VR = 20 V; IF(AV) = 2 A; no guard ring | Not suitable for 24 V systems due to 20 V VR rating; lacks stress protection for industrial transients | Use only in ≤15 V systems with benign environments; avoid where surge immunity or space constraints matter. |
Compared with NSS20201MR6T1G and SS22, PMEG3020BEP offers superior leakage control (35 µA min), lower VF (400 mV typ), and integrated guard ring - making it optimal for compact, high-reliability 24 V DC-DC and reverse-protection designs where thermal headroom and transient robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature for PMEG3020BEP during reflow?
The device is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C. The datasheet specifies that average forward current derating begins above Tsp = 140 °C, so sustained operation beyond that requires thermal modeling of the cathode pad and PCB copper area to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C.
Can PMEG3020BEP be used in automotive applications?
No - PMEG3020BEP is not AEC-Q200 qualified and is explicitly designated as non-automotive in Nexperia's legal disclaimers. It lacks automotive-grade screening, extended temperature validation, and failure mode documentation required for vehicle subsystems. Use only in industrial, computing, or consumer applications.
How does the guard ring affect reliability in high-dv/dt environments?
The integrated guard ring suppresses edge breakdown and prevents premature avalanche at the silicon periphery, increasing the device's ability to withstand repetitive voltage transients up to 30 V without degradation. This is confirmed by Nexperia's stress testing in IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) and ISO 7637-2 pulse scenarios per application note AN11120.
Is the SOD128 footprint compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI)?
Yes - the SOD128 package has a flat, coplanar lead profile with clearly defined cathode marking (bar) and symmetrical geometry, meeting IPC-A-610 Class 2/3 AOI detectability requirements. The 4.4 mm × 2.5 mm reflow land pattern in Figure 15 provides sufficient contrast and solder paste definition for reliable machine vision detection.
