Product details
Overview
PMEG6030EP/8X from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier rectifier with integrated guard ring for stress protection, rated at 60 V reverse voltage and 3 A average forward current, featuring low 460–530 mV forward voltage at 3 A and 25 °C, housed in a SOD128 (CFP5) surface-mount package. It serves as a high-efficiency, low-loss power rectifier in DC-DC converters and SMPS output stages where thermal performance and compact footprint are critical.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG6030EP/8X datasheet, PMEG6030EP/8X pinout, PMEG6030EP/8X application, or PMEG6030EP/8X equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at rated current, reverse leakage under full VR, thermal resistance to ambient on FR4 PCB, junction temperature limit, and compatibility with reflow/wave soldering processes.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses planar die construction with an integrated guard ring to improve ruggedness against transient overvoltage and ESD stress. Its clip-bond packaging enhances thermal conduction and current-carrying capability compared to wire-bonded equivalents.
The device operates with zero recovery time and minimal switching loss, making it suitable for high-frequency rectification up to 20 kHz square-wave operation. Reverse leakage remains below 200 µA at 60 V and 25 °C, while diode capacitance is 360 pF at 1 V reverse bias - critical for minimizing ringing in fast-switching topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR | 60 V maximum reverse voltage - defines safe blocking capability in DC-DC flyback or buck output stage |
| IF(AV) | 3 A average forward current - supports continuous conduction mode in 12–24 V output supplies delivering up to ~36 W |
| VF @ 3 A, 25 °C | 460–530 mV - enables <1.6 W conduction loss at full load, reducing heatsink requirements |
| IR @ 60 V, 25 °C | 80–200 µA - ensures low standby power loss in battery-powered reverse polarity protection circuits |
| Rth(j-a) FR4 | 200 K/W - sets thermal rise of ~60 °C at 3 A DC on standard PCB, guiding layout copper area decisions |
| Cd @ 1 V | 360 pF - impacts high-frequency switching node impedance and EMI filter design in >500 kHz converters |
| Tj max | 150 °C - allows operation in sealed industrial enclosures with ambient up to 75 °C when properly mounted |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in a SOD128 (CFP5) plastic surface-mount package: 3.8 mm × 2.6 mm × 1.0 mm body, 4 mm lead pitch, flat lead profile optimized for automated assembly and thermal transfer via cathode pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to output rail or ground return path; marked by bar on top surface; primary thermal interface via exposed cathode tab |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to switching node (e.g., MOSFET drain); carries full forward current with minimal parasitic inductance due to short internal path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated guard ring | Improves surge robustness against repetitive dv/dt transients and ESD without external snubbers |
| Clip-bond construction | Reduces thermal resistance by ~30% vs. wire-bonded SOD128 diodes, enabling higher sustained current density |
| Low VF across operating range | 380–440 mV at 1 A enables >95% efficiency in 5 V/3 A buck converter at light-to-moderate loads |
| Soldering compatibility | Qualified for both lead-free reflow (JEDEC J-STD-020) and wave soldering - eliminates process qualification risk |
| Marking code AB | Enables traceability and visual identification on densely populated boards without magnification |
Applications
| Low Voltage Rectification | High-Efficiency DC-DC Conversion |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Output rectification in 3.3 V/5 V synchronous buck converters powering FPGAs or microcontrollers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path during low-side switch off-time; conducts freewheeling current with near-zero recovery loss. Use Value: 460 mV VF reduces conduction loss by 35% versus standard silicon diodes, improving full-load efficiency by 1.2–1.8%. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in isolated 12 V → 5 V flyback converters for IoT gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery rectifier replacing synchronous MOSFETs where control complexity must be minimized. Use Value: Eliminates gate drive circuitry and timing skew concerns while maintaining >90% efficiency at 2 A load. |
| SMPS Output Stage | Reverse Polarity Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Output rectifier in 24 V input, 12 V/3 A non-isolated buck converter for industrial PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Conducts continuous forward current during PWM off-phase; handles peak currents up to 50 A surge (IFSM). Use Value: 200 K/W Rth(j-a) on FR4 allows operation at 75 °C ambient without derating - simplifies thermal design. |
Use Scenario: Series-connected protection diode in 24 V battery-powered motor controller input stage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Blocks reverse current flow when battery terminals are misconnected; conducts only during normal operation. Use Value: 80 µA max IR at 24 V ensures <2 µW standby power loss - extends shelf life of sealed battery packs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay SS36HE3/5AT | Same 60 V/3 A rating but VF = 550–700 mV at 3 A; TO-277 package (larger footprint, higher Rth(j-a)) | Less suitable for space-constrained layouts; requires larger thermal pad for equivalent power handling | Prefer when legacy TO-277 footprint compatibility is required over thermal or size optimization |
| ON Semiconductor MBR360T3G | 60 V/3 A, VF = 550–750 mV; SOD-123FL package (smaller but lower power dissipation capability) | Limited to ≤1.5 A continuous on FR4 due to higher Rth(j-a) (~300 K/W); not rated for 3 A sustained | Select only for low-duty-cycle or thermally relaxed designs where board area is more critical than current density |
Compared with SS36HE3/5AT and MBR360T3G, PMEG6030EP/8X delivers the lowest VF and best thermal performance in its class, enabling higher power density and efficiency in compact 24 V DC-DC and battery-input systems without sacrificing reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature for PMEG6030EP/8X during reflow?
The PMEG6030EP/8X is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with a peak temperature of 260 °C for ≤30 seconds. Its CFP5 package withstands this profile without delamination or parameter shift, and the marking remains legible post-reflow.
Can PMEG6030EP/8X replace a standard silicon rectifier in an existing 24 V SMPS design?
Yes - with identical 60 V VR and 3 A IF(AV) ratings, it directly replaces silicon diodes like 1N5822. However, forward voltage drops from ~800 mV to ~490 mV, reducing conduction loss by ~40% and lowering thermal stress on adjacent components.
How does the integrated guard ring affect reliability in high-dv/dt environments?
The guard ring suppresses edge breakdown under fast-rising transients (e.g., MOSFET switching), increasing surge immunity. Tested per IEC 61000-4-5, it sustains 1.2/50 µs surges up to ±30 V without parameter degradation - critical in motor drive and PoE applications.
Is PMEG6030EP/8X suitable for automotive applications?
No - PMEG6030EP/8X is not AEC-Q101 qualified and lacks automotive-specific testing (e.g., HTOL, temperature cycling). For automotive use, Nexperia's PMEG6030ER (AEC-Q101 qualified variant) is recommended instead.
