Product details
Overview
PNE20030EP-QX from Nexperia is a 200 V, 3 A hyperfast recovery rectifier in CFP5 (SOD128) surface-mount package, featuring trr ≤ 30 ns, VF = 730–820 mV at IF = 3 A and Tj = 125 °C, and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive power conversion, freewheeling, and reverse polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PNE20030EP-QX datasheet, PNE20030EP-QX pinout, PNE20030EP-QX application, or PNE20030EP-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery time under dIF/dt = 50 A/µs, thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) = 8 K/W, junction temperature rating up to 175 °C, and SOD128 footprint compatibility with reflow and wave soldering.
Technical Context
This planar, Pt-doped silicon rectifier uses clip-bond technology for high power density and low inductance, enabling stable operation in high-frequency switching topologies up to 20 kHz with square-wave excitation. Its life-time controlled carrier concentration ensures consistent trr performance across temperature.
The device operates with a typical forward voltage of 875 mV at 3 A and 25 °C, dropping to 730 mV at 125 °C - indicating positive temperature coefficient behavior ideal for current sharing. Reverse leakage remains below 1 µA at 25 °C and ≤35 µA at 125 °C under full 200 V bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in DC-link and flyback snubber circuits. |
| IF(AV) | 3 A - Average forward current at δ = 0.5, 20 kHz square wave, Tsp ≤ 155 °C; supports continuous conduction mode in automotive DC-DC converters. |
| trr | 13–30 ns - Measured step recovery time at IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1 A, IR(meas) = 0.25 A, Tj = 25 °C; enables >1 MHz effective switching in resonant topologies. |
| VF @ 3 A, 125 °C | 730–820 mV - Low forward drop at elevated temperature reduces conduction loss in under-hood environments. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 8 K/W - Thermal resistance from junction to cathode solder point; enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper pad (1 cm²). |
| Qrr | 16 nC - Reverse recovery charge at IF = 1 A, dIF/dt = 100 A/µs, VR = 30 V, Tj = 25 °C; determines EMI and switching loss in hard-switched SMPS. |
| IRM | 1 A - Peak reverse recovery current; critical for snubber sizing and MOSFET voltage overshoot prediction. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in CFP5 (SOD128), a compact 3.8 mm × 2.6 mm × 1.0 mm surface-mount plastic package with flat leads and 4 mm pitch, optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance on FR4 PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Main current exit terminal; large-area tab provides low-inductance path and primary thermal conduction to PCB copper. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Current entry terminal; smaller pad area reflects lower thermal duty vs. cathode; routed for minimal loop inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hyperfast recovery (trr ≤ 30 ns) | Enables high-frequency operation in automotive DC-DC converters without excessive switching loss or EMI. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood applications including engine control units and ADAS power supplies. |
| Clip-bond construction | Increases power handling by 25% over wire-bond equivalents and lowers parasitic inductance for cleaner turn-off. |
| Planar die with Pt doping | Ensures tight trr distribution (13–30 ns) and stable Qrr across temperature and lot-to-lot manufacturing. |
| SOD128 footprint compatibility | Supports standard reflow profiles (JEDEC J-STD-020) and wave soldering without lead lift or tombstoning. |
Applications
| Automotive DC-DC Converters | Reverse Polarity Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hyperfast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | 600 V VRRM, 3 A IF(AV), trr = 35 ns, TO-277 package (larger footprint, higher Rth(j-a)) | Higher voltage margin but slower recovery and less thermally efficient in space-constrained automotive modules | Prefer when system requires >300 V blocking or legacy TO-277 layout reuse |
| ON Semi MUR320 | 200 V VRRM, 3 A IF(AV), trr = 35 ns, DO-214AC (SMA) package, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification and has 2.5× higher Rth(j-sp) due to wire-bond construction | Select only for non-automotive industrial use where cost is prioritized over thermal performance and qualification |
Compared with STTH3L06S and MUR320, PNE20030EP-QX delivers superior thermal performance (Rth(j-sp) = 8 K/W), tighter trr distribution (13–30 ns), and AEC-Q101 compliance - making it optimal for space- and reliability-critical automotive power stages.

FAQ
Is PNE20030EP-QX suitable for reflow soldering?
Yes - the device is qualified for both lead-free reflow (per JEDEC J-STD-020) and wave soldering. Its CFP5 (SOD128) package features flat leads and thermal design optimized for standard PCB land patterns (2.1 mm × 3.4 mm cathode pad), with no warpage or solder joint reliability issues observed in IPC-A-610 Class 3 validation.
What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature for PNE20030EP-QX?
The maximum solder point temperature is defined by the limiting value Tsp ≤ 155 °C for IF(AV) = 3 A operation. Exceeding this temperature risks accelerated degradation of the clip-bond interface and increased Rth(j-sp); sustained operation above 155 °C requires derating per Figure 10 in the datasheet.
Does PNE20030EP-QX have a specified reverse recovery charge (Qrr) at 125 °C?
No - Qrr = 16 nC is specified only at Tj = 25 °C (IF = 1 A, dIF/dt = 100 A/µs, VR = 30 V). At elevated temperature, Qrr increases approximately linearly; extrapolation using typical diode physics yields ~22 nC at 125 °C, but design margins should rely on the 25 °C value unless validated via application testing.
Can PNE20030EP-QX replace older PNE20030EP in existing designs?
Yes - PNE20030EP-QX is a direct replacement for PNE20030EP, sharing identical electrical specifications, pinout, package dimensions, and thermal characteristics. The "-QX" suffix denotes enhanced AEC-Q101 test coverage and updated traceability, with no functional or mechanical differences affecting board-level integration.
