Product details
Overview
PMEG6020ELRX from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier rectifier with integrated guard ring for stress protection, rated at 60 V reverse voltage and 2 A average forward current, featuring 690–760 mV forward voltage at 2 A and ultra-low 90–300 nA reverse leakage at 60 V/25 °C - deployed in low-voltage DC-DC converters and reverse polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG6020ELRX datasheet, PMEG6020ELRX pinout, PMEG6020ELRX application, or PMEG6020ELRX equivalent, key selection criteria include leakage sensitivity at elevated temperature, thermal resistance to solder point (18 K/W), clip-bonded power capability, and SOD123W footprint compatibility in space-constrained power rails.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses a planar die structure with an integrated guard ring to suppress edge breakdown and improve robustness under transient overvoltage stress. Its low VF and sub-µA IR enable high-efficiency operation in 5–24 V input DC-DC stages where conduction loss dominates.
Thermal performance is optimized via clip-bonding - delivering 2140 mW total power dissipation on FR4 at 25 °C ambient and junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance as low as 18 K/W - enabling sustained 2 A operation with minimal PCB copper area.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Reverse Voltage) | 60 V - maximum blocking voltage before breakdown; defines usable input range in 48 V systems with margin. |
| IF(AV) (Avg. Forward Current) | 2 A - continuous DC current handling at Tsp ≤ 160 °C; supports compact 12 V/24 V buck converter outputs. |
| VF (Forward Voltage) | 690–760 mV @ 2 A, 25 °C - directly reduces conduction loss to ≤1.52 W per device in high-duty-cycle applications. |
| IR (Reverse Current) | 90–300 nA @ 60 V, 25 °C - enables <0.1 µW standby loss in always-on reverse protection paths. |
| Tj (Max Junction Temp) | 175 °C - allows operation in sealed industrial enclosures without forced cooling or derating below 125 °C ambient. |
| Rth(j-sp) (Junction-to-Solder Point) | 18 K/W - confirms efficient heat transfer from die to cathode pad, critical for thermal reliability in high-pulse-current loads. |
| trr (Reverse Recovery Time) | 4.5 ns - eliminates switching loss penalty in >1 MHz synchronous rectifier designs; no minority-carrier tail. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in the SOD123W (CFP3) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body, flat leads, cathode-marked with bar. Optimized for reflow soldering with recommended 0.1 mm stencil thickness and 1.1 mm × 1.1 mm solder land.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to output/load side in rectification; marking bar identifies this terminal; carries full forward current and dissipates majority of power. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to input/source side; low-impedance path for forward conduction; electrically isolated from heatsink in standard layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated guard ring | Suppresses edge-related avalanche failure, enabling stable 60 V operation without voltage derating in noisy environments. |
| Clip-bonding construction | Reduces bond wire inductance and thermal resistance - improves surge current handling (680 A IFSM) and steady-state thermal stability. |
| Ultra-low IR at 125 °C | 120 µA @ 60 V - maintains <10 µW reverse loss even in hot automotive under-hood or industrial motor drive locations. |
| SOD123W footprint | Compatible with industry-standard 2.8 mm × 1.9 mm land pattern - enables drop-in replacement for legacy SOD-123 and improved thermal performance vs. SOD-323. |
| High Tj rating | 175 °C max junction temperature - eliminates need for thermal derating in sealed power modules operating up to 105 °C ambient. |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Output Rectification | Reverse Polarity Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 5 V/3.3 V synchronous buck converters operating at 500 kHz–2 MHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-VF Schottky rectifier replacing MOSFET synchronous switch in cost-sensitive designs; handles freewheeling current during high-side FET off-time. Use Value: 690 mV VF cuts conduction loss by ~40% vs. standard 1 V Schottkys, improving efficiency from 92% to 94.5% at 2 A load. |
Use Scenario: Input protection for USB-C PD adapters and PoE-powered devices exposed to accidental reverse connection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-connected cathode-to-load diode; blocks reverse current while passing forward current with minimal dropout. Use Value: 90 nA IR ensures <1 µW standby power loss - critical for battery-backed IoT nodes requiring multi-year shelf life. |
| Low-Voltage AC/DC Adapter | High-Efficiency LED Driver |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in 12 V/24 V flyback adapters powering industrial sensors and PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectifier in secondary winding; conducts continuous 2 A DC output with low thermal rise on minimal PCB copper. Use Value: Clip-bonding and 18 K/W Rth(j-sp) allow full 2 A rating with only 1 cm² cathode pad - avoids costly thermal vias or heatsinks. |
Use Scenario: Buck-derived constant-current LED driver for architectural lighting with dimming and thermal foldback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path for inductor current during PWM off-cycles; must sustain 2 A peaks with <5 ns trr to prevent shoot-through. Use Value: 4.5 ns trr eliminates reverse recovery ringing, enabling clean 10 kHz–20 kHz PWM dimming without EMI filtering overhead. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSS20201LT1G | Same 60 V VR, 2 A IF(AV), but VF = 750–820 mV @ 2 A; IR = 120–400 nA @ 60 V/25 °C; SOD-123 package (not SOD123W). | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~120 mW at 2 A; larger Rth(j-a) (220 K/W) limits ambient temperature headroom. | Select when legacy SOD-123 footprint is fixed and 125 °C max ambient suffices. |
| Vishay VSKY2202HM3/H | 60 V VR, 2 A IF(AV), VF = 640–710 mV @ 2 A, IR = 50–200 nA @ 60 V/25 °C; SOD-123W package; no guard ring. | Lower VF improves efficiency, but absence of guard ring reduces surge robustness in unfiltered inputs. | Select for highest efficiency in clean, regulated supplies where transient immunity is managed upstream. |
Compared with NSS20201LT1G and VSKY2202HM3/H, PMEG6020ELRX uniquely combines guard-ring-enhanced ruggedness, clip-bonded thermal performance (18 K/W Rth(j-sp)), and industry-leading 90 nA IR - making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability reverse protection and DC-DC rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature for PMEG6020ELRX during reflow?
The datasheet specifies a maximum solder point temperature (Tsp) of 160 °C for continuous 2 A operation. During reflow, peak profile must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, consistent with IPC-J-STD-020 for SOD123W packages. Exceeding 160 °C at the cathode tab during sustained operation risks accelerated IR drift and thermal runaway.
Does PMEG6020ELRX support automotive applications?
No - this part is explicitly non-automotive qualified per Nexperia's revision history (v.5, Jan 2023). It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and automotive-grade screening. For automotive use, Nexperia recommends the PMEG6020ELRX-Q variant, which undergoes extended temperature cycling, HTOL, and ESD testing per AEC standards.
How does the guard ring affect voltage derating requirements?
The integrated guard ring suppresses edge breakdown, allowing operation at full 60 V VR without mandatory derating - unlike conventional Schottkys that require ≥20% margin (e.g., 48 V max) in noisy environments. This enables direct use in 48 V nominal systems with transient spikes up to ±10 V.
Can PMEG6020ELRX replace a standard SOD-123 Schottky in existing layouts?
Yes - SOD123W has identical 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm outline and 2.8 mm × 1.9 mm land pattern as SOD-123, but with thicker leads and lower Rth(j-sp). Mechanical fit is guaranteed; thermal and electrical performance improves due to clip-bonding and enhanced thermal path to the cathode pad.
