Nexperia USA Inc. PMEG6002EB-QX

Overview

PMEG6002EB-QX from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier rectifier with integrated guard ring for stress protection, rated at 60 V reverse voltage and 0.2 A forward current, featuring a typical forward voltage of 540 mV at 200 mA - optimized for low-loss rectification in space-constrained automotive power rails.

For engineers reviewing the PMEG6002EB-QX datasheet, PMEG6002EB-QX pinout, PMEG6002EB-QX application, or PMEG6002EB-QX equivalent, this device serves as a qualified AEC-Q101 discrete solution where ultra-low VF, SOD523 footprint, and thermal robustness (Rth(j-sp) = 75 K/W) are critical for DC-DC efficiency and reverse polarity protection.

Technical Context

This Schottky diode uses a planar silicon structure with an integrated guard ring to suppress edge breakdown under high-voltage transients, enabling stable operation up to 60 V VR while maintaining low leakage (≤100 µA at 60 V, 25 °C). Its junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 75 K/W supports reliable power dissipation on FR4 PCBs with standard SOD523 footprints.

The device operates across −40 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, with forward voltage tightly distributed (540–600 mV at 200 mA), and exhibits low capacitance (14–20 pF at 1 V, 1 MHz), making it suitable for high-frequency switching nodes in compact automotive converters.

FAQ

Is PMEG6002EB-QX suitable for 48 V automotive systems?

Yes. With a 60 V reverse voltage rating and AEC-Q101 qualification, it supports 48 V nominal systems including load-dump transients up to ±60 V. Its guard ring design and 150 °C max junction temperature ensure robustness in under-hood environments without derating.

What is the thermal performance on standard FR4?

When mounted on single-sided FR4 with tin-plated copper and standard SOD523 footprint, its junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance is 75 K/W. This allows 0.2 A continuous operation with <20 °C junction rise above ambient, eliminating need for thermal vias in most applications.

Does the marking "B2" correspond to PMEG6002EB-QX?

Yes. Per Nexperia's marking table, "B2" is the official top-side laser marking for PMEG6002EB-QX in SOD523 package. The bar on the package body aligns with Pin 1 (cathode), confirming polarity orientation during automated placement.

Can PMEG6002EB-QX replace standard silicon diodes in existing designs?

Yes - with verification of voltage margin and layout adaptation. Its 60 V VR exceeds common 1N400x ratings, and 540 mV VF at 200 mA reduces conduction loss by ~45% versus 1N4148. However, reverse leakage is higher, so verify standby current impact in always-on circuits.
