Product details
Overview
PNE20020EPX from Nexperia is a hyperfast recovery rectifier diode optimized for high-frequency switching in power conversion circuits, featuring 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 2 A average forward current, ≤25 ns reverse recovery time, and planar Pt-doped die technology in a CFP5 (SOD128) SMD package. It serves as a freewheeling or polarity protection diode in DC-DC converters, auxiliary power supplies, and industrial motor drive snubbers.
For engineers reviewing the PNE20020EPX datasheet, PNE20020EPX pinout, PNE20020EPX application, or PNE20020EPX equivalent, key selection criteria include trr ≤25 ns at 25 °C, VF = 735–825 mV at IF = 2 A / 125 °C, IR ≤20 µA at VR = 200 V / 125 °C, and thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) = 10 K/W with cathode tab soldering.
Technical Context
This device uses planar silicon die with platinum doping for precise lifetime control, enabling hyperfast recovery without soft-recovery trade-offs. Its clip-bond construction lowers parasitic inductance and improves thermal transfer from junction to solder point.
The CFP5 package integrates a flat lead cathode tab for low-inductance mounting and direct thermal conduction to PCB copper, supporting both reflow and wave soldering per JEDEC standards. Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance is specified at 10 K/W under defined 1 cm² cathode pad conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the diode blocks reliably in continuous operation. |
| IF(AV) | 2 A - Average forward current capability at δ = 0.5, 20 kHz square wave, with solder point temperature ≤157 °C. |
| trr | 10–25 ns - Measured reverse recovery time under step-recovery conditions (IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1 A), critical for minimizing switching losses in SMPS. |
| VF @ 2 A / 125 °C | 735–825 mV - Forward voltage drop defining conduction loss at elevated junction temperature in high-ambient environments. |
| IR @ 200 V / 125 °C | 1–20 µA - Reverse leakage current determining standby power loss and thermal runaway risk in series-connected or high-temp applications. |
| Cd @ 4 V | 20 pF - Junction capacitance affecting high-frequency impedance and EMI generation during turn-off transitions. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 10 K/W - Thermal resistance from junction to cathode solder point, enabling accurate thermal design when mounted on 1 cm² copper pad. |
Pinout & Package
The PNE20020EPX is housed in a CFP5 (SOD128) surface-mount plastic package measuring 3.8 mm × 2.6 mm × 1.0 mm, with a flat cathode lead for low-inductance PCB mounting and enhanced thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Main current exit terminal; large-area metal tab provides primary thermal path to PCB and low-inductance return path. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Current entry terminal; smaller lead optimized for signal integrity and minimal parasitic inductance in high-dI/dt paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hyperfast recovery (trr ≤25 ns) | Enables operation up to 500 kHz+ in hard-switched topologies while limiting reverse recovery losses and EMI. |
| Clip-bond construction | Reduces thermal resistance to 10 K/W (j-sp) and lowers package inductance vs. wire-bond equivalents, improving efficiency and noise performance. |
| Pt-doped lifetime control | Delivers consistent, predictable trr across temperature and production lots without requiring external snubbers. |
| SOD128 footprint compatibility | Supports automated assembly on standard reflow/wave lines using documented land patterns (FR4, tin-plated, 1 cm² cathode pad). |
Applications
| DC-DC Converter Freewheeling | Reverse Polarity Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in synchronous or non-synchronous buck converters operating at 100–500 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current path during low-side switch off-time; recovers before next switching cycle begins. Use Value: trr ≤25 ns minimizes tail current overlap with high-side switch, reducing total switching loss by up to 35% vs. standard fast recovery diodes. |
Use Scenario: Input protection for 12–48 V industrial power modules exposed to field wiring errors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-blocking diode placed between connector and downstream regulator; conducts only during correct polarity insertion. Use Value: VF = 735–825 mV at 125 °C ensures <1.0 W conduction loss at 2 A, avoiding thermal derating in enclosed enclosures. |
| Motor Drive Snubber | AC-DC Auxiliary Supply |
|
Use Scenario: Clamp diode in IGBT gate-drive or flyback snubber networks for HVAC inverter drives. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Rapidly absorbs inductive kick energy during IGBT turn-off; must recover before next gate pulse. Use Value: 60 A non-repetitive surge rating (IFSM) and 175 °C max junction temperature support transient overloads without failure. |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in 5–12 V auxiliary supplies for PLC controllers and sensor nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary output rectifier in discontinuous-conduction-mode (DCM) flyback or forward converters. Use Value: Low Cd (20 pF) reduces capacitive coupling of switching noise into low-voltage logic rails, easing EMC filtering requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hyperfast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH2R02 | Same VRRM (200 V) and IF(AV) (2 A), but trr = 35 ns (typ), VF = 950 mV @ 2 A / 25 °C, Rth(j-a) = 125 K/W. | Higher conduction and switching loss; less suitable for >250 kHz designs or thermally constrained layouts. | Prefer PNE20020EPX where trr < 25 ns and Rth(j-sp) < 15 K/W are required for thermal or EMI targets. |
| ON Semiconductor MUR220 | VRRM = 200 V, IF(AV) = 2 A, trr = 35 ns (max), VF = 950 mV @ 2 A / 25 °C, TO-220AC package (not SMD). | Through-hole mounting increases board area and assembly cost; higher thermal resistance limits power density. | Choose PNE20020EPX for space-constrained SMD designs needing superior thermal performance and high-frequency efficiency. |
Compared with STTH2R02 and MUR220, the PNE20020EPX delivers lower trr, lower VF at elevated temperature, and significantly better thermal resistance via its clip-bond SOD128 package-making it optimal for compact, high-efficiency, high-frequency power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) is 175 °C, and the device is rated for continuous operation up to this limit when thermal design ensures Tj does not exceed it under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions. Derating curves in Figures 8–10 define safe IF(AV) versus Tamb and Tsp.
Does PNE20020EPX support wave soldering, and what footprint is required?
Yes, PNE20020EPX is qualified for both reflow and wave soldering. For wave soldering, use the footprint in Figure 17: dual 4.2 mm × 2.3 mm solder lands with 5.8 mm center-to-center spacing and 10.2 mm overall length, per Nexperia's SOD128 wave soldering guidelines.
How does the Pt-doping affect lifetime control and trr consistency?
Platinum doping creates uniform recombination centers in the silicon bulk, producing tightly controlled carrier lifetime and thus highly repeatable trr values across temperature and manufacturing lots-eliminating the need for post-process screening or external compensation networks.
Is PNE20020EPX automotive-qualified?
No. Per Nexperia's revision history (v.6, Jan 2024), PNE20020EPX is explicitly designated as non-automotive qualified. For automotive applications, Nexperia offers Q-grade variants such as PNE20020EP-Q, which undergo AEC-Q101 stress testing and qualification.
