Product details
Overview
PMEG6030CERX from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier rectifier in CFP3 (SOD123W) surface-mount 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, used for low-voltage rectification and reverse polarity protection in compact DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG6030CERX datasheet, PMEG6030CERX pinout, PMEG6030CERX application, or PMEG6030CERX equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at rated current, thermal resistance to solder point (18 K/W), reverse leakage at 125 °C (14–50 mA), and compatibility with FR4 PCB layouts using standard or 1 cm² cathode pad footprints.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier employs a planar die structure with clip-bond interconnection to minimize parasitic inductance and enhance thermal transfer from junction to cathode tab. Its low VF and absence of minority-carrier storage enable zero-recovery behavior-critical for high-frequency SMPS operation up to 20 kHz square-wave switching.
The device operates within a junction temperature range of −40 °C to 175 °C and exhibits stable reverse characteristics across temperature, with IR rising from 30 µA at 25 °C to 50 mA at 125 °C under 60 V bias-enabling reliable use in thermally constrained industrial and automotive-adjacent power rails.
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. |
| IF(AV) (Avg Forward Current) | 3 A - Sustained DC or pulsed average current with δ = 0.5, Tsp ≤ 158 °C on standard FR4. |
| VF (Forward Voltage) | 670 mV typ @ 3 A, 25 °C - Directly determines conduction loss (2.01 W max per diode at full load). |
| IR (Reverse Current) | 50 mA max @ 60 V, 125 °C - Sets standby power loss ceiling in hot environments. |
| Rth(j-sp) (Junction-to-Solder Point) | 18 K/W - Enables efficient heat extraction via cathode pad; critical for thermal design on minimal copper area. |
| trr (Reverse Recovery Time) | 4 ns step recovery - Confirms true Schottky behavior; eliminates switching tail losses in hard-switched topologies. |
| Cd (Diode Capacitance) | 36 pF @ 10 V - Low capacitance minimizes capacitive turn-on loss and EMI in high-dV/dt applications. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in CFP3 (SOD123W) plastic SMD package: 2.6 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.0 mm body, flat lead profile optimized for reflow and wave soldering. Cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Main heat-sinking terminal; connects to PCB copper pour or thermal pad; polarity indicator for reverse protection layout. |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Input-side connection; carries full forward current; requires trace width calculation based on 3 A continuous rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage | 670 mV typ @ 3 A enables >95% efficiency in 5–12 V output DC/DC stages. |
| Clip bond construction | Reduces bond wire inductance and improves thermal path-supports 50 A non-repetitive surge without bond lift. |
| CFP3 (SOD123W) package | 1.0 mm height and 2.6 mm length allow ultra-thin board designs while maintaining 1.15 W power dissipation capability. |
| Thermal resistance to solder point | 18 K/W allows direct thermal coupling to PCB ground plane-no heatsink required below 2.5 A in ambient ≤ 70 °C. |
Applications
| Low-Voltage Rectification | High-Efficiency DC/DC Conversion |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Input rectification in 3.3 V or 5 V buck-derived auxiliary supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path replacing conventional PN diodes to reduce conduction loss. Use Value: 210 mV lower VF than comparable 3 A PN rectifiers cuts conduction loss by ~35% at 3 A. | Use Scenario: Output synchronous rectification in isolated flyback or forward converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode during MOSFET off-time; handles peak currents up to 50 A transiently. Use Value: 4 ns trr prevents cross-conduction loss and enables stable operation at 500 kHz+ switching frequencies. |
| Reverse Polarity Protection | SMPS Secondary-Side Rectification |
Use Scenario: Series-connected protection in 12–48 V battery-powered equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Blocking element that conducts only when input polarity is correct. Use Value: 60 V VR rating supports 36 V nominal systems with 50% derating margin; 3 A IF(AV) covers startup inrush. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in telecom and server PSUs delivering 12 V @ 10–20 A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main output rectifier handling continuous 3 A per phase in multiphase designs. Use Value: 1.15 W Ptot with 1 cm² cathode pad sustains 3 A at 75 °C ambient-reducing need for parallel devices. |
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-3EYH06-M3/54 | Same 60 V/3 A rating but TO-277 package (larger footprint, higher Rth(j-a) = 45 K/W). | Requires more PCB area; less suitable for ultra-thin or high-density layouts. | Choose when higher single-pulse surge rating (100 A IFSM) is prioritized over size and thermal performance. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR360T3G | SOD-123 package (not CFP3); VF = 720 mV min @ 3 A; Rth(j-sp) not specified. | Lacks clip-bond thermal path; limited to <2.2 A continuous on standard FR4. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, lower-power (<2 A) applications where 50 mV VF penalty is tolerable. |
Compared with VS-3EYH06-M3/54 and MBR360T3G, PMEG6030CERX delivers superior thermal performance (18 K/W vs ≥45 K/W), lower VF (670 mV vs 720+ mV), and smaller footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency 3 A rectification tasks.

FAQ
Is PMEG6030CERX suitable for automotive applications?
No-PMEG6030CERX is not AEC-Q101 qualified and lacks automotive-specific testing or qualification documentation. It is intended for industrial, consumer, and communications applications. For automotive use, Nexperia offers the AEC-Q101-qualified PMEG6030CPZ series with identical electrical specs but extended reliability validation.
What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature during reflow?
The maximum solder point temperature is defined by the limiting value Tsp ≤ 158 °C for IF(AV) = 3 A operation. Reflow profiles must ensure peak temperature at the cathode solder joint does not exceed 260 °C for ≤10 seconds, consistent with IPC-J-STD-020 for CFP3 packages, to avoid delamination or solder joint fatigue.
Can PMEG6030CERX replace a standard PN rectifier in an existing design?
Yes-PMEG6030CERX is a direct drop-in replacement for SOD-123W-packaged 3 A PN rectifiers like 1N5819, offering lower VF (670 mV vs ~900 mV), zero trr, and higher surge capability. Layout remains identical, but thermal relief should be added to the cathode pad to leverage its 18 K/W Rth(j-sp) advantage.
How does the CFP3 package improve thermal performance over standard SOD-123?
The CFP3 (SOD123W) package uses a copper clip to directly bond the die cathode to the exposed metal pad, reducing Rth(j-sp) to 18 K/W-versus ~60 K/W in standard SOD-123. This enables 1.15 W power dissipation on 1 cm² copper, supporting full 3 A current in ambient temperatures up to 75 °C without derating.
