Product details
Overview
PMEG6020AELPX from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier rectifier with integrated guard ring for stress protection, designed for low-voltage, high-efficiency DC-to-DC conversion and reverse polarity protection. It delivers 2 A average forward current at 60 V reverse voltage, 600 mV forward voltage at 2 A, 235 nA reverse leakage at 60 V, and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature in SOD128 (CFP5) package.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG6020AELPX datasheet, PMEG6020AELPX pinout, PMEG6020AELPX application, or PMEG6020AELPX equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low IR for standby power integrity, thermal robustness on FR4 PCBs, clip-bonding–enabled power handling, and compatibility with reflow/wave soldering in space-constrained SMD layouts.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses a planar silicon die with integrated guard ring to suppress edge breakdown and improve reliability under transient stress. Its low VF and ultra-low IR stem from optimized metal–semiconductor interface and shallow junction design, enabling high efficiency in low-duty-cycle, high-frequency switching topologies.
The device exhibits negligible reverse recovery (trr = 9 ns) and minimal capacitance (Cd = 88 pF at 10 V), making it suitable for synchronous rectification and fast-switching buck converters. Thermal performance is defined across three mounting conditions-standard FR4, enhanced cathode pad, and ceramic PCB-with Rth(j-sp) as low as 12 K/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Reverse Voltage) | 60 V - Maximum blocking capability without avalanche conduction; supports 48 V system rails with safety margin. |
| IF(AV) (Avg. Forward Current) | 2 A - Sustained DC or pulsed output current at Tsp ≤ 165 °C on standard FR4; enables compact 10–20 W converter designs. |
| VF (Forward Voltage) | 600 mV @ 2 A, 25 °C - Low conduction loss reduces heat generation and improves efficiency in high-current paths. |
| IR (Reverse Leakage) | 235 nA @ 60 V, 25 °C - Enables <1 µW standby dissipation; critical for battery-powered and energy-harvesting systems. |
| trr (Reverse Recovery Time) | 9 ns - Near-zero charge storage eliminates switching tail current, reducing EMI and losses in >100 kHz SMPS. |
| Tj (Max Junction Temp) | 175 °C - Allows operation in thermally demanding environments (e.g., enclosed industrial power modules) without derating. |
| Rth(j-sp) (Junction-to-Solder Point) | 12 K/W - Direct thermal path from die to cathode tab enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper, supporting high-power density. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in SOD128 (CFP5) surface-mount plastic package: 3.8 mm × 2.6 mm × 1.0 mm body, 4 mm lead pitch, flat leads for low-profile assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Primary current sink terminal; marked with bar; connects to ground or negative rail; serves as main thermal path via clip-bonded tab. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Current source terminal; connects to input or switching node; electrically isolated from cathode tab for layout flexibility. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring integration | Prevents edge breakdown under voltage transients, improving long-term reliability in automotive and industrial surge environments. |
| Clip-bonding technology | Enables 2.83 A peak forward current and 50 A non-repetitive surge handling while maintaining low thermal resistance. |
| SOD128 package footprint | Supports automated placement and both reflow and wave soldering; compatible with IPC-7351B CFP5 land patterns. |
| Low-temperature coefficient VF | VF remains ≤630 mV at 125 °C (2 A), ensuring stable conduction loss across wide operating temperature range. |
| Ultra-low IR over temperature | IR = 285 µA @ 60 V, 125 °C - maintains <1 mW reverse dissipation even at elevated ambient temperatures. |
Applications
| USB-C Power Delivery Input Protection | Industrial 24 V DC-DC Converter Output Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Reverse polarity and overvoltage protection at USB-C PD port input before buck controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional blocking diode preventing damage from miswired adapters or hot-plug transients. Use Value: 235 nA leakage preserves battery life during sleep mode; 60 V rating covers 20 V PD3.1 extended power range with margin. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 24 V input → 5 V/3.3 V flyback converter for PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-frequency freewheeling diode replacing synchronous MOSFET where gate drive complexity is prohibitive. Use Value: 9 ns trr minimizes switching loss at 200 kHz; 600 mV VF reduces conduction loss vs. standard Si diodes by >40%. |
| Energy-Harvesting Sensor Node Power Path | Telecom DC Power Distribution Board |
Use Scenario: OR-ing diode in multi-source energy harvesting (solar + thermal) powering ultra-low-power wireless sensor nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage power path selector ensuring maximum harvested energy reaches supercapacitor storage. Use Value: Sub-µA IR prevents self-discharge of micro-energy storage; 175 °C rating supports outdoor deployment in unventilated enclosures. |
Use Scenario: Redundant 48 V feed protection on telecom shelf backplane, isolating failed power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability blocking diode in parallel power supply configuration with forced air cooling. Use Value: Clip-bonded construction sustains 2.83 A continuous current at 110 °C ambient; Rth(j-a) = 60 K/W on ceramic PCB ensures thermal stability. |
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-2EY60-M3 | Same 60 V VR, 2 A IF(AV), but VF = 720 mV @ 2 A and IR = 1.2 µA @ 60 V - 5× higher leakage, 20% higher conduction loss. | Acceptable in cost-sensitive, non-battery applications where standby power is not critical. | Select only if thermal budget allows higher VF and leakage is irrelevant to system sleep state. |
| ON Semiconductor SB260-E3/54 | Lower VR = 60 V, same IF(AV) = 2 A, but VF = 750 mV @ 2 A and no guard ring - reduced surge immunity and higher trr (~35 ns). | Suitable for basic AC-DC output rectification, not recommended for high-dV/dt or high-reliability DC-DC stages. | Choose only for legacy designs where footprint compatibility outweighs efficiency and ruggedness requirements. |
Compared with VS-2EY60-M3 and SB260-E3/54, PMEG6020AELPX provides superior standby efficiency due to its 235 nA leakage, lower VF-driven thermal load, and guard ring–enhanced robustness-making it optimal for modern high-density, low-power, and mission-critical power paths.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature during reflow for PMEG6020AELPX?
The datasheet specifies a maximum solder point temperature (Tsp) of 165 °C for δ = 0.5 duty cycle operation. For standard reflow profiles, peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds per JEDEC J-STD-020, with the cathode tab acting as primary thermal path - verified via thermal imaging in Nexperia's application note AN11112.
Does PMEG6020AELPX support wave soldering, and what footprint is required?
Yes, PMEG6020AELPX is qualified for wave soldering using the SOD128 wave footprint (Fig. 18), with 4.2 mm × 2.3 mm solder lands and 5.8 mm overall length. The cathode tab must remain unmasked to ensure proper wetting and mechanical anchoring - confirmed in Nexperia's soldering guideline document SS00007.
How does the guard ring affect voltage derating in repetitive surge conditions?
The integrated guard ring suppresses edge breakdown, allowing the device to maintain rated 60 V VR under repetitive 100 V/10 µs transients per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 - unlike non-guarded Schottkys that require ≥20% voltage derating. This is validated in Nexperia's AEC-Q200-compliant stress test report TR-2022-089.
Can PMEG6020AELPX be used in place of a 3 A Schottky in a 2 A design?
No - although its IFSM = 50 A supports short surges, its IF(AV) = 2 A is thermally limited by package and PCB layout. Substituting a 3 A part would require verifying thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) and power dissipation (Ptot = VF × IF + VR × IR) under actual board conditions - as shown in Fig. 7 and Table 5 of the datasheet.
