Product details
Overview
PMEG6020CER-QX from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier rectifier in CFP3 (SOD123W) package, rated for 60 V reverse voltage and 2 A average forward current, with typical forward voltage of 580 mV at 2 A and 25 °C. It serves as a low-loss unidirectional power switch in automotive-grade DC/DC converters and reverse polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG6020CER-QX datasheet, PMEG6020CER-QX pinout, PMEG6020CER-QX application, or PMEG6020CER-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C max junction temperature, clip-bond thermal performance, and low 30–60 µA reverse leakage at 60 V and 25 °C.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a planar metal–semiconductor junction to achieve fast step recovery (4 ns typical) and negligible minority-carrier storage, enabling high-frequency switching in SMPS topologies. Its low VF and low Qrr (2.5 nC) reduce conduction and switching losses simultaneously.
The device employs a clip-bond construction in the CFP3 package, delivering Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W to the cathode solder point and supporting 2.8 A continuous forward current under optimized PCB layout. Thermal runaway is mitigated via controlled IR vs. VR characteristics across -40 °C to 125 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR | 60 V maximum reverse voltage - sets safe operating limit in 48 V automotive bus and 36 V industrial supply applications |
| IF(AV) | 2 A average forward current - supports sustained 2 A load in DC/DC buck stages with δ = 0.5 duty cycle |
| VF @ 2 A | 580–650 mV at 25 °C - enables <1.3 W conduction loss per diode in high-efficiency 12 V → 5 V conversion |
| IR @ 60 V | 30–60 µA at 25 °C - ensures minimal standby leakage in always-on automotive modules |
| trr | 4 ns step recovery - eliminates switching node ringing in >500 kHz synchronous rectifier designs |
| Rth(j-sp) | 18 K/W - allows direct thermal coupling to large copper pour, critical for 50 A surge handling (IFSM) |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - meets AEC-Q101 transient thermal stress requirements for under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in CFP3 (SOD123W) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body, flat lead profile optimized for automated reflow assembly and thermal pad attachment. Cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Main current exit terminal; connected to thermal pad for heat dissipation and low-inductance return path |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Current entry terminal; routed to switching node or input rail with minimal trace inductance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics per stress test standard, including HTRB, HTGB, and ESD |
| Clip-bond construction | Reduces thermal resistance by 35% vs. wire-bond SOD123, enabling 1.15 W power dissipation on 1 cm² cathode pad |
| Low VF at high Tj | 540–630 mV at 125 °C - maintains efficiency in hot under-hood locations without derating |
| Step-recovery trr | 4 ns typical - eliminates need for snubbers in 1–2 MHz GaN-based converters |
| Reverse breakdown margin | V(BR)R ≥ 60 V at 1 mA - provides 0% tolerance margin over rated VR, ensuring robustness against transients |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial 24 V DC/DC Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Reverse polarity protection on 12 V battery input to BCM microcontroller power rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional blocking element placed in series with input, conducting only during correct polarity connection. Use Value: Prevents damage from accidental battery reversal while adding <1.3 W loss at full 2 A load due to 580 mV VF. |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in isolated flyback converter supplying 5 V/2 A to PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side freewheeling diode synchronized with primary MOSFET switching at 600 kHz. Use Value: 4 ns trr avoids cross-conduction losses; 175 °C Tj rating supports operation inside sealed enclosures up to 85 °C ambient. |
| USB-C Power Delivery Adapter | Smart Lighting Driver |
Use Scenario: Input rectification in compact 65 W USB-PD adapter using active clamp flyback topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-frequency AC-to-DC front-end rectifier operating at 150–300 kHz with tight thermal constraints.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolation diode preventing backfeed from LED string into control IC during PWM off-time. Use Value: 30 µA max IR at 25 °C ensures <1 µW standby loss, preserving energy budget in battery-powered smart fixtures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS2L60Q | Same 60 V/2 A rating but TO-277A package; VF = 620 mV @ 2 A; Rth(j-a) = 70 K/W vs. 130 K/W for PMEG6020CER-QX | Higher thermal resistance limits usable current in space-constrained layouts; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when legacy TO-277 footprint compatibility is required and AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
| ONsemi NSR2060HT1G | CFP3 package, AEC-Q101 qualified, VF = 600 mV @ 2 A, but IR = 100 µA @ 60 V - 3× higher leakage than PMEG6020CER-QX | Higher IR increases standby loss in always-on systems; less suitable for battery-backed modules | Select when slightly lower VF outweighs leakage sensitivity in non-critical automotive subsystems |
Compared with STPS2L60Q and NSR2060HT1G, PMEG6020CER-QX delivers the lowest combination of VF, IR, and Rth(j-sp), making it optimal for thermally dense, AEC-Q101–compliant 2 A rectification where leakage and thermal margin are design-critical.

FAQ
Is PMEG6020CER-QX suitable for synchronous rectification?
No - PMEG6020CER-QX is a passive Schottky rectifier, not a MOSFET-based synchronous rectifier controller or driver. It functions as a unidirectional conduction device only and cannot be actively gated. For synchronous rectification, a dedicated gate driver paired with a low-RDS(on) MOSFET is required.
What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature during reflow?
The absolute maximum solder point temperature is not specified separately, but the device is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds, and the cathode thermal pad must be soldered using the recommended 0.1 mm stencil thickness and 1.2 mm × 1.4 mm land pattern per Figure 16.
Does the marking 'N9' indicate RoHS compliance?
Yes - the 'N9' marking denotes the PMEG6020CER-QX variant compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC regulations. All Nexperia CFP3-packaged AEC-Q101 devices shipped after 2019 carry RoHS-compliant materials by default unless explicitly ordered as non-RoHS.
Can PMEG6020CER-QX replace a standard PN junction rectifier in an existing design?
Yes - it can directly replace PN rectifiers like 1N5819 in most cases, offering lower VF (≈300 mV less), faster trr (ns vs. µs), and no reverse recovery charge. However, verify that reverse leakage (up to 50 mA at 125 °C) remains acceptable in high-temperature bias conditions, as Schottky leakage rises exponentially with temperature.
