Product details
Overview
PMEG6030CER-QX from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier rectifier in CFP3 (SOD123W) package, rated for 60 V reverse voltage and 3 A average forward current, with typical forward voltage of 670 mV at 3 A and 25 °C junction temperature. It serves as a low-loss unidirectional power switch in automotive-grade DC/DC converters and reverse polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG6030CER-QX datasheet, PMEG6030CER-QX pinout, PMEG6030CER-QX application, or PMEG6030CER-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, clip-bond thermal performance, low VF at high IF, and SOD123W footprint compatibility with high-density automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses a planar metal–semiconductor junction to achieve fast recovery (trr ≤ 6 ns), negligible minority-carrier storage, and low reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 2.5 nC). Its thermal design relies on direct cathode tab soldering to maximize heat transfer, with Rth(j-sp) = 18 K/W when mounted on a 1 cm² copper pad.
The device operates across -40 °C to +175 °C junction temperature, maintains stable VF down to -40 °C (650–740 mV @ 3 A), and exhibits low capacitance (36 pF @ 10 V) suitable for high-frequency switching topologies. Reverse leakage remains under 50 mA at 125 °C and full 60 V bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR | 60 V maximum reverse voltage - supports 48 V automotive systems with 25 % safety margin |
| IF(AV) | 3 A average forward current - enables compact 15–25 W DC/DC stages without forced cooling |
| VF @ 3 A | 670–760 mV at 25 °C - reduces conduction loss by ≥30 % vs. standard silicon rectifiers |
| IR @ 125 °C | 14–50 mA at 60 V - limits standby power loss in always-on vehicle modules |
| Rth(j-sp) | 18 K/W - allows >1.15 W continuous dissipation with minimal thermal derating on standard FR4 |
| trr | ≤6 ns ramp recovery - eliminates switching node ringing in >500 kHz SMPS designs |
| Qrr | 2.5 nC - minimizes turn-off losses and EMI in synchronous rectifier flyback and buck converters |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in CFP3 (SOD123W) surface-mount plastic package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body, flat leads, cathode-marked bar, optimized for reflow soldering with 1.1 mm × 1.4 mm cathode pad per Nexperia footprint recommendation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Main heat path: soldered tab conducts >90 % of thermal load; polarity indicator via marking bar |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Low-inductance input terminal; connects to switched node or battery positive in reverse protection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Clip-bond construction | Enables 4.2 A peak forward current and 50 A non-repetitive surge handling without bond wire failure |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood use including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD robustness |
| Low VF temperature coefficient | VF drops only ~0.2 mV/°C from −40 °C to 125 °C - stabilizes efficiency across ambient extremes |
| SOD123W footprint | Compatible with industry-standard 0805-class pick-and-place and AOI inspection workflows |
| Step- and ramp-mode trr | 4 ns (step) / 6 ns (ramp) - ensures clean commutation in both hard- and soft-switched topologies |

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-3EY60-M3/54 | Same 60 V/3 A rating but TO-277 package (larger, leaded); VF = 720 mV min @ 3 A | Requires through-hole or modified SMT stencil; higher Rth(j-a) limits power density | Prefer when legacy board reuse or manual repair is required |
| ON Semiconductor NSR3060HT1G | CFP3 package, VF = 650 mV typ @ 3 A, but AEC-Q101 not explicitly stated; IR = 45 µA @ 125 °C | Lacks formal automotive qualification documentation; may require additional reliability validation | Consider for cost-sensitive non-safety-critical consumer or industrial DC/DC |
Compared with VS-3EY60-M3/54 and NSR3060HT1G, PMEG6030CER-QX delivers superior thermal performance (18 K/W j-sp), guaranteed AEC-Q101 compliance, and tighter VF distribution-making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, thermally demanding automotive power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature during reflow for PMEG6030CER-QX?
The device is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles with peak temperature up to 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, per J-STD-020. The cathode solder pad must be designed per Nexperia's recommended 1.1 mm × 1.4 mm footprint to ensure mechanical integrity and thermal performance under repeated thermal cycling.
Does PMEG6030CER-QX support bidirectional current flow in reverse polarity protection?
No-it conducts only from anode to cathode. In reverse polarity protection, it is placed in series with the positive rail so that reversed input voltage reverse-biases the diode, blocking current. For true bidirectional protection, two PMEG6030CER-QX devices must be used in series-opposed configuration.
How does the clip-bond construction improve reliability over wire-bonded Schottky diodes?
Clip bonding replaces aluminum wires with a copper strap directly connecting the die to the cathode leadframe, reducing parasitic inductance by >50 %, eliminating wire bond lift-off failure modes, and improving thermal resistance by 30–40 % compared to equivalent wire-bond SOD123W devices.
Can PMEG6030CER-QX replace a 40 V Schottky diode in a 24 V system?
Yes-its 60 V VR rating provides 150 % voltage margin over 24 V nominal systems, accommodating load dump transients up to 35 V and ensuring long-term reliability. However, its VF is optimized for 3 A operation; at lower currents (<0.5 A), a lower-VF 40 V part may yield marginally better efficiency.
