Product details
Overview
PMEG4030ETRX from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier rectifier with integrated guard ring for stress protection, designed for high-temperature operation up to 175 °C junction temperature. It delivers 3 A average forward current at 40 V reverse voltage, with low 460–540 mV forward voltage at 3 A and 25 °C, enabling high-efficiency low-voltage DC-to-DC conversion in space-constrained SMD applications.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG4030ETRX datasheet, PMEG4030ETRX pinout, PMEG4030ETRX application, or PMEG4030ETRX equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal performance on FR4 vs ceramic PCBs, reverse leakage stability across −40 °C to 125 °C, and clip-bond packaging benefits for power density and solder-joint reliability in SMPS and reverse polarity protection circuits.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode employs a planar silicon die with integrated guard ring to suppress edge breakdown and improve robustness under transient stress. Its clip-bond construction enhances thermal conduction from junction to cathode tab, reducing Rth(j-sp) to 18 K/W when mounted on an FR4 board with 1 cm² cathode pad.
The device operates with zero minority-carrier storage, delivering ultrafast switching (no reverse recovery charge) and low noise in high-frequency SMPS topologies. Its capacitance ranges from 250 pF at 1 V to 95 pF at 10 V reverse bias, supporting stable operation in buck converter freewheeling paths.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-blocking diode placed between connector and LDO input; conducts only during correct polarity insertion. Use Value: 25 µA max IR at 12 V ensures <1 µW standby dissipation; 175 °C Tj rating supports enclosure temperatures up to 85 °C ambient. |
| High-Efficiency AC-DC Adapter Output Rectification | Low-Power IoT Sensor Node Power Path |

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-3EYH04-M3 | Same 40 V VR, 3 A IF(AV), but VF = 520–600 mV @ 3 A; TO-277 package (larger, 4.5 mm × 2.6 mm) | Higher VF increases conduction loss in high-duty-cycle DC-DC; larger footprint limits layout flexibility | Select when legacy TO-277 mounting is required or when slightly higher VF is acceptable for cost-sensitive designs |
| ON Semiconductor NSR30C40NXT5G | 40 V VR, 3 A IF(AV), VF = 450–530 mV @ 3 A; same SOD123W package; lower IR (10 µA @ 40 V) | Better leakage performance suits battery-critical reverse protection; identical thermal profile | Prefer for ultra-low-power systems where sub-10 µA leakage is mandatory; otherwise functionally interchangeable |
Compared with VS-3EYH04-M3, PMEG4030ETRX offers lower VF and smaller footprint; versus NSR30C40NXT5G, it trades 15 µA higher IR for broader thermal derating margin above 125 °C and proven guard-ring reliability in surge-prone industrial inputs.

FAQ
Is PMEG4030ETRX qualified for automotive applications?
No. Per Nexperia's revision history, PMEG4030ETRX is explicitly non-automotive qualified and lacks AEC-Q101 certification. It is rated for industrial and consumer use only. Automotive alternatives-such as the PMEG4030ETRX-Q variant-are separately qualified and must be selected for vehicle applications.
What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature during reflow?
The datasheet specifies a maximum solder point temperature (Tsp) of 165 °C for sustained average forward current operation. During reflow, peak profile temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤10 seconds per JEDEC J-STD-020, consistent with SOD123W package specifications.
How does the guard ring affect surge withstand capability?
The integrated guard ring reduces electric field crowding at the die periphery, raising the device's non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) to 50 A (8.3 ms half-sine). This improves immunity to line transients and inrush events in SMPS input stages without external TVS clamping.
Can PMEG4030ETRX replace older PMEG4010 series diodes?
No direct replacement: PMEG4010 has 1 A IF(AV) and different thermal characteristics. PMEG4030ETRX supports 3× higher current and superior thermal resistance, but requires updated layout for higher current traces and thermal pads. Electrical substitution without thermal redesign risks premature failure.
