Product details
Overview
PMEG4005EGW-QX from Nexperia is a 40 V, 0.5 A planar MEGA Schottky barrier rectifier in SOD123 package, featuring low forward voltage (420 mV typ. at 500 mA), low reverse leakage (30 µA typ. at 40 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use - deployed in reverse polarity protection and DC-DC converter output stages.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG4005EGW-QX datasheet, PMEG4005EGW-QX pinout, PMEG4005EGW-QX application, or PMEG4005EGW-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include VF/IR trade-off at 25–125 °C, thermal resistance to solder point (190 K/W), and SOD123 footprint compatibility with high-density automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a planar die structure with integrated guard ring for enhanced ESD and surge robustness. Its low VF stems from optimized metal-semiconductor interface and thin epitaxial layer, enabling high efficiency in low-voltage (<12 V) power rails.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-solder-point resistance (190 K/W on FR4 with cathode pad), and it sustains repetitive peak forward current up to 7 A (tp ≤ 1 ms) - critical for handling transient loads in automotive infotainment and body control modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 420 mV typ. at 500 mA - reduces conduction loss by ~35% vs. standard Schottkys in 5 V/3.3 V rail rectification. |
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 40 V - supports 24 V automotive systems with 100% margin over nominal bus voltage. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 30 µA typ. at 40 V - minimizes standby power loss in always-on vehicle modules. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - enables operation in under-hood environments without derating at 85 °C ambient. |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 190 K/W - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour for passive cooling in space-constrained modules. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 43 pF typ. at 1 V - limits switching noise and EMI in high-frequency (>500 kHz) buck converters. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in SOD123 surface-mount plastic package (2.675 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm), with cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to load ground or return path; marking bar identifies this terminal - critical for correct polarity in reverse protection circuits. |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to input supply rail; carries full forward current during conduction - routed to minimize loop inductance in SMPS outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive temperature cycling (-40 °C to +125 °C), humidity, and mechanical shock - eliminates requalification effort for Tier 1 BOMs. |
| Guard ring integration | Prevents edge breakdown under high dv/dt or ESD stress - improves reliability in noisy 12 V battery line applications. |
| Low VF / low IR balance | 420 mV VF and 30 µA IR at 25 °C enable <10 mW static loss at 500 mA - extends battery life in telematics modules. |
| SOD123 footprint | Standardized 2.675 mm × 1.6 mm land pattern compatible with IPC-7351B - simplifies layout reuse across Nexperia's MEGA Schottky family. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-40CPH005-M3/45 | TO-277 package (larger, 4.5 mm × 3.5 mm); VF = 450 mV @ 500 mA; IR = 100 µA @ 40 V | Higher thermal mass but less suitable for dense automotive PCBs; higher IR increases standby loss | Preferred where board-level heat sinking is available and footprint size is not constrained |
| ON Semiconductor NSR0540HT1G | SOD-123 package; VF = 450 mV @ 500 mA; IR = 50 µA @ 40 V; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification; higher IR degrades battery runtime in always-on nodes | Acceptable for industrial or consumer designs where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with VS-40CPH005-M3/45 and NSR0540HT1G, PMEG4005EGW-QX delivers the lowest combined VF/IR at 25–125 °C in AEC-Q101-compliant SOD123, making it optimal for space- and efficiency-critical automotive power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for PMEG4005EGW-QX?
The absolute maximum average forward current is 0.5 A at Tsp ≤ 55 °C on FR4 PCB with standard footprint. At higher ambient temperatures, derating applies: 0.35 A at 100 °C ambient per Figure 3 in the datasheet, based on thermal resistance and junction temperature limit of 150 °C.
Does PMEG4005EGW-QX support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - the SOD123 package is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020D. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds, with ramp-up rate ≤ 3 °C/s. Recommended footprint matches Figure 8 in the datasheet (2.36 mm × 1.11 mm cathode pad).
How does the guard ring improve reliability in automotive applications?
The integrated guard ring suppresses electric field crowding at the die edge, raising the reverse breakdown voltage margin and improving immunity to ESD (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4) and load dump transients. This prevents premature failure in 12 V battery line interfaces exposed to alternator spikes.
Is the marking code 'G4' sufficient for full traceability?
Yes - 'G4' is the unique marking code for PMEG4005EGW-QX per Table 4. Combined with date code and reel label, it enables full lot traceability to wafer fab and assembly site. Nexperia provides traceability reports upon request for automotive PPAP submissions.
