Product details
Overview
PMEG60T50ELPX from Nexperia is a 60 V, 5 A Trench Schottky barrier rectifier in CFP5 (SOD128) package, designed for low-leakage, high-efficiency power conversion. It delivers 620–690 mV forward voltage at 5 A and 25 °C, <1.8 µA reverse leakage at 60 V/25 °C, and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature-enabling use in compact DC-DC converters and freewheeling paths where thermal headroom and reverse loss minimization are critical.
For engineers reviewing the PMEG60T50ELPX datasheet, PMEG60T50ELPX pinout, PMEG60T50ELPX application, or PMEG60T50ELPX equivalent, key selection criteria include its trench-based low-leakage architecture, clip-bonded thermal performance (Rth(j-sp) = 12 K/W), SOD128 footprint compatibility, and verified operation under 20 kHz square-wave switching with δ = 0.5 duty cycle.
Technical Context
This device implements Nexperia's Trench MEGA Schottky technology to suppress reverse leakage while maintaining low VF-critical for high-frequency, low-duty-cycle topologies. Its clip-bonded construction directly connects the die to the cathode tab, enabling 1.2 W total power dissipation on a 1 cm² copper pad and supporting 50 A non-repetitive surge current.
The diode exhibits step- and ramp-type reverse recovery times of 16 ns (IF = 0.5 A, IR = 0.5 A), with no minority-carrier storage-eliminating tail current and reducing EMI in SMPS flyback and synchronous rectification circuits. Diode capacitance drops from 560 pF at 1 V to 170 pF at 10 V reverse bias, supporting stable high-speed switching behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 60 V maximum - defines safe blocking capability in 48 V bus and PoE applications without derating. |
| Average Forward Current (IF(AV)) | 5 A at δ = 0.5, 20 kHz, Tsp ≤ 135 °C - supports continuous conduction mode in mid-power DC-DC stages. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 620–690 mV at 5 A, 25 °C - reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. planar Schottkys, improving efficiency above 90% in 12 V → 5 V converters. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.3–1.8 µA at 60 V, 25 °C - enables ultra-low standby power in battery-backed systems and energy-harvesting interfaces. |
| Junction-to-Solder-Point Rth | 12 K/W - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper, enabling >3 W effective dissipation with optimized layout. |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | 16 ns - eliminates switching node ringing in 500 kHz–1 MHz buck converters, simplifying EMI filter design. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 170 pF at VR = 10 V - limits displacement current during fast dV/dt transitions, preserving gate drive integrity in synchronous FETs. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in CFP5 (SOD128): 3.8 mm × 2.6 mm × 1.0 mm body, 4 mm lead pitch, flat lead surface-mount plastic package with exposed cathode thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Main current return path and primary thermal interface-requires ≥1 cm² soldered copper area for rated power handling. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Input-side terminal; carries full forward current with minimal parasitic inductance due to short internal bond path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench MEGA Schottky structure | Reduces reverse leakage by 5× vs. conventional Schottkys at 60 V, enabling <1 µA standby current in always-on rails. |
| Clip-bonded die attachment | Lowers thermal resistance to 12 K/W (junction-to-solder point), permitting 1.2 W dissipation on standard FR4 without heatsink. |
| SOD128 footprint compatibility | Enables drop-in replacement for legacy 5 A Schottkys (e.g., PMEG3050CPA) without PCB redesign or stencil changes. |
| Reflow- and wave-solderable | Qualified per J-STD-020 and J-STD-006 - supports high-volume manufacturing with standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C). |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments (e.g., automotive under-hood auxiliary supplies) with margin. |
Applications
| Server VRM Output Rectification | USB-C PD Adapter Secondary Side |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: High-current, high-frequency synchronous rectification in 48 V → 12 V server VRMs operating at 500 kHz–1 MHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode replacing MOSFET body diode to eliminate reverse recovery loss and reduce gate drive complexity. Use Value: 620 mV VF at 5 A cuts conduction loss by 0.8 W vs. Si diode alternative, lowering local hotspot temperature by >15 °C at full load. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side output rectification in 100 W USB-C PD adapters with GaN primary-side switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-loss, zero-recovery clamp diode in active-clamp flyback or LLC resonant converter outputs. Use Value: 16 ns trr prevents shoot-through in synchronous rectifier control timing, enabling reliable 30 ns dead-time margins. |
| Industrial PLC Power Input Protection | Energy-Harvesting Sensor Node Supply |
|
Use Scenario: Reverse polarity protection at 24 V DC input of programmable logic controllers exposed to field wiring errors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-blocking Schottky placed before bulk capacitor to prevent damage from accidental negative connection. Use Value: 0.3 µA max IR at 24 V ensures <1 µW leakage-preserving backup supercapacitor charge for >72 hours during main power outage. |
Use Scenario: Ultra-low-quiescent rectification of AC output from piezoelectric or RF energy harvesters (<100 µW average power). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-wave bridge leg component converting microamp-level AC into usable DC for nanopower MCUs (e.g., MSP430FRxx). Use Value: Sub-400 mV VF at 100 µA enables start-up at <300 mV input amplitude-extending operational range below competing diodes by 2×. |
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-50SQ060 | Planar Schottky, 60 V/5 A, VF = 720 mV @ 5 A, IR = 10 µA @ 60 V, TO-277 package | Higher thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) ≈ 50 K/W), requires larger PCB copper; not suitable for space-constrained SOD128 layouts | Select when legacy TO-277 mounting is required and leakage tolerance >5 µA is acceptable. |
| ON Semiconductor NSR50P60 | Trench Schottky, 60 V/5 A, VF = 640 mV @ 5 A, IR = 0.5 µA @ 60 V, same CFP5 package | Identical footprint and pinout; slightly higher VF but tighter IR distribution (0.2–0.5 µA vs. 0.3–1.8 µA) | Prefer for designs requiring guaranteed <0.5 µA leakage across full temp range, accepting +20 mV VF penalty. |
Compared with VS-50SQ060 and NSR50P60, PMEG60T50ELPX offers the lowest leakage spread (0.3–1.8 µA) and best thermal performance (12 K/W Rth(j-sp)), making it optimal for thermally constrained, ultra-low-power applications where worst-case IR must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature for PMEG60T50ELPX during reflow?
The device is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow per J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260 °C for ≤30 seconds. The absolute maximum solder point temperature is 260 °C; exceeding this risks delamination or bond wire failure. Thermal resistance data assumes Tsp ≤ 135 °C during steady-state operation.
Can PMEG60T50ELPX replace PMEG3050CPA in existing designs?
Yes-both use identical CFP5 (SOD128) package, pinout, and thermal pad layout. PMEG60T50ELPX offers higher VR (60 V vs. 30 V) and lower IR (≤1.8 µA vs. ≤5 µA), making it a direct upgrade for 24–48 V systems. No PCB or stencil changes are needed, though layout review for voltage clearance is recommended.
How does the 16 ns reverse recovery time impact EMI in high-frequency converters?
The 16 ns trr reflects near-instantaneous carrier sweep-out-no minority-carrier tail current exists. This eliminates high-frequency ringing during turn-off, reducing common-mode noise by up to 10 dB in 1 MHz buck converters and relaxing Y-capacitor requirements in Class B EMI compliance testing.
Is PMEG60T50ELPX automotive-qualified?
No-this part is non-automotive qualified per Nexperia's revision history (v.3, April 2023). It lacks AEC-Q101 stress testing and automotive-specific reliability reporting. For automotive applications, Nexperia recommends the -Q qualified variant PMEG60T50ELPX-Q, which shares electrical specs but adds extended temperature validation and PPAP documentation.
