Product details
Overview
PMEG4005ET-QR from Nexperia is a 40 V, 0.5 A automotive-qualified Schottky barrier rectifier in SOT23 package, featuring very low forward voltage (420–470 mV at 500 mA), integrated guard ring for stress protection, and optimized for low-loss DC-to-DC conversion in space-constrained automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG4005ET-QR datasheet, PMEG4005ET-QR pinout, PMEG4005ET-QR application, or PMEG4005ET-QR equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage at rated current, reverse leakage at 40 V, thermal resistance under PCB mounting conditions, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
This MEGA Schottky rectifier uses planar silicon construction with an integrated guard ring to enhance ruggedness against transient overvoltage and electrostatic stress. Its low VF stems from optimized metal-semiconductor junction design and thin epitaxial layer, enabling high efficiency in low-voltage (<5 V) output stages.
It operates with zero recovery time and negligible switching loss, making it suitable for high-frequency synchronous rectification and reverse polarity protection where fast turn-off and minimal conduction loss are critical. Thermal performance is defined for two PCB mounting configurations: standard footprint (Rth(j-a) = 440 K/W) and enhanced cathode pad (300 K/W).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 420–470 mV at 500 mA pulsed - enables <150 mW conduction loss in 3.3 V/5 V rail protection |
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 40 V maximum - supports 24 V automotive systems with 100 % margin over nominal bus |
| Forward Current (IF) | 0.5 A continuous - sustains steady-state load in USB-C PD auxiliary power paths |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤100 µA at 40 V, 25 °C - ensures minimal standby drain in always-on modules |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 43–50 pF at 1 V - limits high-frequency noise coupling in SMPS feedback loops |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - allows operation in engine control unit (ECU) ambient up to 125 °C |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 300 K/W with 1 cm² cathode pad - defines heatsinking requirement for 420 mW Ptot |
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 device features three terminals with Pin 2 internally unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Input terminal for forward conduction; connects to higher-potential rail in reverse polarity protection |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | No internal bond; must remain floating - not usable as thermal pad or shield |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Output terminal; ties to system ground or lower-potential node; primary thermal path via soldered pad |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard Ring Integration | Enhances ESD robustness (HBM >8 kV) and transient overvoltage tolerance without external clamping |
| AEC-Q101 Qualification | Validated for automotive use per stress test requirements including temperature cycling, HTRB, and UHAST |
| Low-Voltage Forward Drop | Sub-470 mV VF at full rated current reduces power loss by ≥35 % vs. standard Schottky diodes in 3.3 V rails |
| Small-Signal Switching Speed | Zero reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0) eliminates switching spikes in 1–3 MHz DC/DC converters |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | USB-C Power Delivery Auxiliary Rail |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Reverse polarity protection on 12 V input to microcontroller power supply in door module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional blocking diode preventing damage during battery jump-start misconnection. Use Value: 420 mV VF limits voltage drop to <0.5 % of rail, preserving brown-out margin for 3.3 V LDO input. | Use Scenario: OR-ing diode in dual-input (adapter + battery) 5 V auxiliary power path for USB-C port controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-loss conduction path enabling seamless source switchover without voltage glitch. Use Value: 100 µA max IR at 40 V prevents battery self-discharge during adapter-only operation. |

Use Scenario: Input rectification for energy-harvesting boost converter powering wireless sensor transceiver. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency AC-to-DC interface for piezoelectric or solar mini-harvester output. Use Value: 43 pF Cd minimizes capacitive loading on high-impedance harvester source, preserving open-circuit voltage. | Use Scenario: Synchronous rectifier replacement in 1.2 V/1 A buck converter for BLE SoC core supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode operating at 2 MHz switching frequency with zero recovery loss. Use Value: 300 K/W Rth(j-a) with enhanced pad enables stable 1 A operation without heatsink in 25 mm² PCB area. |
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 NSS40501MT1G | Same SOT23-3 package, 40 V/0.5 A rating, but VF = 490 mV min at 500 mA - 70 mV higher typical drop | Higher conduction loss reduces efficiency in thermally constrained 3.3 V rails | Select when legacy ON BOM alignment outweighs 3–5 % efficiency penalty |
| Vishay SS14-E3/57T | SMA package (larger), 40 V/1 A rating, VF = 500 mV typ - double current but 30 % larger footprint and no AEC-Q101 | Not suitable for space-limited automotive PCBs; lacks automotive qualification | Prefer for industrial non-automotive designs requiring higher surge current (IFSM = 30 A) |
Compared with NSS40501MT1G and SS14-E3/57T, PMEG4005ET-QR delivers the lowest forward voltage in SOT23 while maintaining AEC-Q101 compliance - critical for minimizing heat generation and maximizing reliability in compact automotive power nodes.

FAQ
Is PMEG4005ET-QR pin-compatible with standard SOT23 Schottky diodes?
Yes - it uses the industry-standard SOT23-3 footprint with anode (Pin 1), n.c. (Pin 2), and cathode (Pin 3). Pin 2 is unconnected and must remain unbonded; layout must follow Nexperia's recommended 1 cm² cathode copper pad for thermal performance.
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous 0.5 A operation?
At 0.5 A continuous current, the junction temperature must stay ≤150 °C. With Rth(j-a) = 300 K/W (enhanced pad), maximum ambient is 125 °C. At Rth(j-a) = 440 K/W (standard pad), ambient must be ≤108 °C to maintain Tj margin.
Does PMEG4005ET-QR support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - it is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020D. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds. Figure 5 in the datasheet specifies the exact solder land pattern (0.6 mm × 0.7 mm pads, 1.9 mm pitch) required for reliable joint formation.
How does the guard ring improve reliability in automotive environments?
The integrated guard ring mitigates edge breakdown under high dv/dt transients and suppresses leakage current growth during temperature/humidity stress. It enables pass-fail compliance with AEC-Q101 tests including 1000-hour HTRB at 125 °C and 8 kV HBM ESD - essential for under-hood ECU longevity.
