Product details
Overview
PMEG6020CERX from Nexperia is a 60 V, 2 A planar Schottky barrier rectifier in a CFP3 (SOD123W) surface-mount package, designed for low-voltage, high-efficiency DC-to-DC conversion and reverse polarity protection. It delivers a typical forward voltage of 580 mV at 2 A and 25 °C, exhibits only 4 ns reverse recovery time, and supports up to 50 A non-repetitive peak forward current - enabling compact, thermally efficient power stage designs in space-constrained applications.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG6020CERX datasheet, PMEG6020CERX pinout, PMEG6020CERX application, or PMEG6020CERX equivalent, key selection criteria include its low VF at high IF, ultrafast trr, thermal resistance to solder point (130 K/W), and clip-bond construction enabling stable 2.8 A continuous forward current on standard FR4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a planar metal–semiconductor junction with optimized barrier height and epitaxial layer design to achieve low forward conduction loss while maintaining 60 V reverse blocking capability. Its clip-bond packaging directly connects the die cathode to the exposed copper tab, reducing thermal resistance and improving power cycling reliability.
The device operates without minority-carrier storage, eliminating reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 2.5 nC) and associated switching losses - making it suitable for high-frequency SMPS topologies where di/dt exceeds 200 A/µs and efficiency above 95 % is required at light-to-moderate loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 60 V - defines maximum DC or repetitive peak reverse bias before breakdown; sets usable input range in 48 V systems. |
| Forward Current (IF(AV)) | 2 A - average DC forward current rating at δ = 0.5, 20 kHz square wave, Tsp ≤ 165 °C; enables sustained 2 A output in buck converters. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 580 mV typ. @ 2 A, 25 °C - directly reduces conduction loss; yields ~1.16 W dissipation per diode at full load. |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | 4 ns - enables operation >1 MHz without significant switching loss penalty; eliminates snubber requirements in high-frequency flyback designs. |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-sp)) | 130 K/W - measured from junction to cathode solder point on 1 cm² pad; allows 1.15 W total power dissipation at Tamb = 25 °C. |
| Peak Reverse Current (IR) | 60 µA @ VR = 60 V, 25 °C - ensures minimal leakage in battery backup and OR-ing circuits; rises to 50 mA at 125 °C. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 36 pF @ VR = 10 V, 1 MHz - limits high-frequency displacement current; supports clean turn-off in synchronous rectifier gate-drive paths. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in a CFP3 (SOD123W) plastic SMD package measuring 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm, with an exposed cathode tab for thermal and electrical connection. The marking bar denotes the cathode end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to internal die cathode and exposed copper tab; primary thermal path and negative output node in rectification. |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Top-side metallized terminal; connects to input or switching node; requires controlled trace width for 2 A RMS current handling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | 580 mV typ. @ 2 A - cuts conduction loss by ≥30 % vs. comparable 60 V Si PN diodes, improving light-load efficiency in USB PD adapters. |
| Clip bond construction | Direct die-to-tab interconnect - reduces Rth(j-sp) to 130 K/W and supports 2.8 A continuous IF on standard FR4, enabling smaller heatsinking. |
| Ultrafast reverse recovery | 4 ns trr - eliminates reverse recovery spikes in 500 kHz–1 MHz LLC resonant converters, simplifying EMI filter design. |
| Small flat SMD footprint | SOD123W outline (2.6 × 1.7 mm) - fits high-density layouts in PoL modules and portable charger PCBs without compromising thermal performance. |
Applications
| USB-C Power Delivery Adapter | Industrial 24 V DC Input Module |

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-M3/57T | Same 60 V VR, 2 A IF(AV), but TO-277 package (larger, higher Rth(j-a) = 160 K/W); VF = 620 mV @ 2 A. | Requires larger PCB area and less effective thermal management; better suited for through-hole prototyping than high-density SMT production. | Select when legacy TO-277 footprint compatibility or higher surge robustness (IFS M = 60 A) is prioritized over board space. |
| ON Semiconductor NSR2060HT1G | Identical CFP3 package and 60 V/2 A rating; VF = 550 mV @ 2 A (50 mV lower), but trr = 8 ns and IR = 100 µA @ 60 V. | Offers marginally better conduction loss but slower recovery and higher leakage - may increase EMI in >1 MHz converters. | Prefer for ultra-low-loss 5 V/3.3 V PoL stages where trr < 5 ns is not critical and leakage is mitigated by system-level filtering. |
Compared with VS-2EY60-M3/57T and NSR2060HT1G, PMEG6020CERX delivers the optimal balance of ultrafast recovery (4 ns), industry-leading thermal resistance (130 K/W), and consistent VF across temperature - making it the preferred choice for high-frequency, space-constrained, and thermally demanding DC-DC designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature during reflow for PMEG6020CERX?
The recommended maximum solder point temperature is 165 °C for δ = 0.5 duty cycle and 161 °C for DC operation, per Nexperia's limiting values table. Exceeding these temperatures risks delamination of the clip bond interface and permanent degradation of Rth(j-sp). Reflow profiles must maintain peak temperature ≤260 °C for ≤30 seconds with ramp rates ≤3 °C/s.
Can PMEG6020CERX be used in automotive applications?
No - PMEG6020CERX is not AEC-Q200 qualified and lacks automotive-grade screening, high-temperature life testing, or guaranteed PPAP documentation. While it operates from −40 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, its qualification status restricts use to industrial, consumer, and communications applications unless explicitly validated and approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
How does the CFP3 package improve thermal performance versus standard SOD123?
The CFP3 (SOD123W) package uses a copper clip to directly bond the die cathode to an extended, exposed copper tab - reducing Rth(j-sp) to 130 K/W versus ~220 K/W for standard SOD123. This 41 % improvement allows 1.15 W power dissipation at 25 °C ambient, supporting 2.8 A continuous forward current without external heatsinking on standard FR4 PCBs.
Is PMEG6020CERX suitable for reverse polarity protection in battery-powered devices?
Yes - its 60 V VR rating, low 580 mV VF at 2 A, and 50 A non-repetitive surge capability make it ideal for series reverse polarity protection in Li-ion battery packs and portable medical devices. The 4 ns trr prevents latch-up during rapid polarity reversal, and the 60 µA IR at 60 V ensures negligible standby drain in always-on applications.
