Product details
Overview
PMEG3020EPA from Nexperia is a 30 V, 2 A planar Schottky barrier rectifier in an ultra-thin DFN2020-3 (SOT1061) leadless package, featuring dual anode terminals (A1, A2), a cathode pad for thermal and electrical conduction, low forward voltage (410–470 mV at 2 A), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability. It serves as a low-loss freewheeling or reverse polarity protection diode in space-constrained DC/DC converters and battery charging circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG3020EPA datasheet, PMEG3020EPA pinout, PMEG3020EPA application, or PMEG3020EPA equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at 2 A, thermal resistance to solder point (12 K/W), dual-anode current sharing capability, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive power rail protection.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a planar die structure with integrated guard ring for enhanced ESD and surge robustness. Its dual-anode configuration enables parallel current handling without external bus bars, while the exposed cathode pad provides direct thermal path to PCB copper.
The device operates with zero reverse recovery time (trr < 47 ns), eliminating switching losses in high-frequency SMPS topologies. Its low VF and low IR (435 µA typical at 30 V) support high-efficiency operation across ambient temperatures from −40 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VF @ 2 A | 410–470 mV - Enables ≥95% efficiency in 3.3 V/5 V buck converters at full load |
| VR | 30 V - Supports 24 V automotive rail protection and 12 V industrial DC/DC inputs |
| IF(AV) | 2 A continuous - Sustains full-rated current on FR4 PCB with 1 cm² cathode pad |
| Rth(j-sp) | 12 K/W - Allows junction temperature rise of only 24 °C above solder point at 2 A |
| trr | < 47 ns - Eliminates reverse recovery loss in 500 kHz–1 MHz switching applications |
| IR @ 30 V | 435–2500 µA - Low leakage preserves battery standby life in portable equipment |
| Package | DFN2020-3 (SOT1061), 2.0 × 2.0 × 0.65 mm - Fits 0805 footprint area with superior thermal performance |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in a thermally enhanced, ultra-thin DFN2020-3 (SOT1061) leadless plastic package with exposed cathode pad for optimized heat dissipation and low-inductance mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A1 (Anode 1) | Primary anode terminal; must be connected in parallel with Pin 2 for rated 2 A current sharing |
| 2 | A2 (Anode 2) | Secondary anode terminal; electrically identical to Pin 1; both pins share forward current |
| 3 | K (Cathode) | Exposed metal pad - serves as main thermal path and low-impedance return node; requires full-solder coverage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-anode layout | Enables 2 A total average current with balanced thermal distribution across two discrete anode connections |
| Exposed cathode pad | Reduces Rth(j-sp) to 12 K/W - delivers 3× lower thermal resistance than standard SOD-123 packages |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood applications including engine control modules and body electronics |
| Guard ring integration | Improves ruggedness against transient overvoltage and ESD events per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV air) |
| Reflow-only assembly | Optimized for Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C); not suitable for wave or hand soldering |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | USB-C Power Delivery Adapter |

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 NSR3020HT1G | Same 30 V/2 A rating but VF = 450–520 mV; no AEC-Q101 qualification; SOD-123FL package | Lacks automotive qualification and thermal performance (Rth(j-a) ≈ 150 K/W vs. 70 K/W) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal or automotive compliance requirements |
| Vishay VSS8020M | 30 V/2 A, VF = 420–480 mV, AEC-Q101 qualified, but DFN2020-6 (6-pin) with separate cathode pad | Higher pin count increases layout complexity; same thermal performance but larger footprint | Prefer when board-level ESD immunity >15 kV required beyond guard ring capability |
Compared with NSR3020HT1G and VSS8020M, PMEG3020EPA uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, lowest VF (410 mV typ), and minimal 2.0 × 2.0 mm footprint - making it optimal for automotive and portable power where space, efficiency, and reliability are co-constrained.

FAQ
Is PMEG3020EPA suitable for reflow soldering only?
Yes - Nexperia specifies reflow soldering as the sole recommended process. The DFN2020-3 package is not qualified for wave or hand soldering due to thermal stress risks on the die attach and bond wires. Peak profile must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, with ramp rates per J-STD-020.
How should the cathode pad (Pin 3) be laid out on PCB?
The exposed cathode pad requires full-solder coverage over its entire 1.05 × 1.05 mm area, with thermal vias (≥4 × 0.3 mm) connecting to inner ground or power planes. Per Figure 15, the recommended solder stencil aperture is 1.2 × 1.2 mm with 0.15 mm thickness to ensure void-free wetting and mechanical integrity.
Can Pins 1 and 2 be used independently?
No - Pins 1 (A1) and 2 (A2) are internally connected anodes and must be routed in parallel. Using only one anode violates the 2 A rating and causes uneven current distribution, leading to localized overheating and premature failure. Both pins must carry equal current per design intent.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature during pulse operation?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C, but for reliable long-term operation, Tj should be limited to ≤135 °C under square-wave pulses (δ = 0.5, f = 20 kHz). At Tsp = 140 °C, the device sustains 2 A average current - confirming safe operation when mounted on ceramic Al₂O₃ PCB per datasheet condition [1].
