Product details
Overview
PMEG4010CEGW-QJ from Nexperia is a 40 V, 1 A planar Schottky barrier rectifier in SOD123 package, featuring typ. 490 mV forward voltage, 6 µA reverse leakage at 40 V, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reverse polarity protection and DC-DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG4010CEGW-QJ datasheet, PMEG4010CEGW-QJ pinout, PMEG4010CEGW-QJ application, or PMEG4010CEGW-QJ equivalent, this diode delivers verified low-VF performance, thermal robustness on FR4 PCBs, and stress-protected operation via integrated guard ring - critical for high-reliability 12 V/24 V automotive power rails.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a planar die structure with an integrated guard ring to suppress edge breakdown under transient overvoltage and thermal stress. Its low 490 mV VF at 1 A enables >95% efficiency in low-voltage synchronous rectification stages.
Rated for Tj = 150 °C and qualified per AEC-Q101, it sustains repetitive 7 A IFRM and non-repetitive 9 A IFSM pulses while maintaining Rth(j-sp) = 21 K/W to cathode solder point - enabling compact layout in space-constrained automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 40 V - supports 12 V/24 V automotive systems with margin against load dump transients. |
| Forward Current (IF) | 1 A continuous - sufficient for auxiliary power rails, sensor supplies, and LED drivers. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 490 mV typ. at 1 A - reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. standard silicon diodes in same footprint. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 6 µA typ. at 40 V - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed circuits. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 69 pF typ. at 1 V - enables fast switching with low EMI in 1–2 MHz DC-DC converters. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - ensures reliability in under-hood environments without derating at 85 °C ambient. |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 21 K/W - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper, simplifying thermal design in dense layouts. |
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 | Cathode (K) | Connected to output/load side; marking bar identifies this terminal - critical for correct polarity in reverse protection. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to input/source side; serves as current entry point during forward conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated guard ring | Prevents premature edge breakdown under mechanical stress or voltage transients - essential for AEC-Q101 compliance. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock - no additional qualification needed for Tier-1 designs. |
| Low thermal resistance to solder point | Rth(j-sp) = 21 K/W enables efficient heat transfer directly to PCB copper - eliminates need for thermal vias in many applications. |
| Small SOD123 footprint | 2.675 mm × 1.6 mm area fits tight spaces in ADAS camera modules and body control units without sacrificing current rating. |
Applications
| Automotive Reverse Polarity Protection | Low-Voltage DC-DC Converter Output Rectification |

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 NSS40100U1T6G | Same 40 V/1 A rating but VF = 520 mV typ. at 1 A; Rth(j-a) = 320 K/W (vs. 305 K/W). | Larger thermal footprint required for equivalent power dissipation; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and thermal performance. |
| Vishay SS14HM3/84A | 40 V/1 A, VF = 500 mV typ., but IR = 10 µA at 40 V and no guard ring; Rth(j-sp) not specified. | Higher leakage increases standby loss; lacks edge protection for harsh transients. | Acceptable for consumer-grade DC-DC where AEC-Q101 and low-IR are not mandatory. |
Compared with NSS40100U1T6G and SS14HM3/84A, PMEG4010CEGW-QJ provides the lowest combination of forward voltage, reverse leakage, and thermally optimized packaging - making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial applications demanding both efficiency and long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for PMEG4010CEGW-QJ?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C, validated per AEC-Q101 test conditions. Operation up to this limit is supported with proper PCB thermal design - including ≥1 cm² cathode copper pad - and ambient temperatures ≤85 °C.
Is PMEG4010CEGW-QJ suitable for synchronous rectification?
No - it is a passive Schottky rectifier, not a synchronous MOSFET driver or controlled switch. It functions as a unidirectional freewheeling or output rectifier in non-synchronous buck or flyback topologies.
Does the SOD123 package include thermal pad exposure?
No - the SOD123 package has no exposed thermal pad. Thermal performance relies on solder connection of the cathode (Pin 1) to a dedicated copper area; Rth(j-sp) = 21 K/W assumes standard footprint with tin-plated copper.
How does the guard ring improve reliability in automotive use?
The integrated guard ring suppresses electric field concentration at the die edge, preventing premature avalanche breakdown during load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) or jump-start transients - a key requirement for AEC-Q101 qualification.
