Product details
Overview
PNE20040EPE-QZ from Nexperia is a 200 V, 4 A hyperfast recovery rectifier in CFP15B (SOT1289B) package, designed for high-efficiency automotive power conversion. It delivers trr ≤ 30 ns reverse recovery time, VF = 710–780 mV at 4 A and 125 °C, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for use in Engine Control Units and freewheeling circuits.
For engineers reviewing the PNE20040EPE-QZ datasheet, PNE20040EPE-QZ pinout, PNE20040EPE-QZ application, or PNE20040EPE-QZ equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low trr, clip-bond thermal performance, dual-anode planar die architecture, and automotive-grade reliability under 175 °C junction operation.
Technical Context
This hyperfast rectifier uses Pt-doped lifetime control and planar die technology to achieve sub-30 ns trr with minimal Qrr and VFRM ≤ 830 mV. Its dual-anode (A1/A2) and single-cathode (K) configuration supports high-current parallel conduction paths while maintaining low-inductance SMD mounting.
The CFP15B package integrates a thermally enhanced cathode tab with Rth(j-sp) = 1.2 K/W and Rth(j-a) = 70 K/W on 1 cm² copper pad, enabling 4 A average forward current at Tsp ≤ 173 °C. It operates across –55 °C to +175 °C ambient and junction ranges, meeting AEC-Q101 stress test requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR / VRRM | 200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; enables use in 12 V/24 V automotive DC-DC stages with 2× safety margin. |
| IF(AV) | 4 A - Average forward current at δ = 0.5, 20 kHz square wave, Tsp ≤ 173 °C; supports continuous high-duty-cycle rectification. |
| trr | 12–30 ns - Measured under step recovery (IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1 A); ensures minimal switching loss in >100 kHz SMPS topologies. |
| VF @ 4 A, 125 °C | 710–780 mV - Low forward drop reduces conduction loss and thermal load in ECU power rails and motor drivers. |
| IR @ 200 V, 125 °C | 1.5–10 µA - Tight leakage spec maintains efficiency in high-temperature reverse-biased freewheeling applications. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 1.2 K/W - Thermal resistance from junction to cathode solder point; enables direct heat transfer to PCB copper, critical for compact ECU layouts. |
| Package | CFP15B (SOT1289B) - 5.8 × 4.3 × 0.95 mm, flat-lead SMD with clip-bond construction; achieves 2.15 W power dissipation on 1 cm² cathode pad. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in the thermally optimized CFP15B (SOT1289B) surface-mount package - 3-lead, 2.13 mm pitch, 0.95 mm typical height, with exposed cathode tab for low-thermal-resistance PCB mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A1) | Anode 1 | Primary anode connection; paired with A2 to distribute forward current and reduce effective series inductance. |
| 2 (A2) | Anode 2 | Secondary anode terminal; enables symmetrical current sharing and improved thermal spreading in high-current paths. |
| 3 (K) | Cathode | Thermally enhanced metal tab; serves as main heat extraction path with Rth(j-sp) = 1.2 K/W to solder point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hyperfast trr ≤ 30 ns | Enables >200 kHz switching in buck/flyback converters without excessive diode recovery loss or EMI. |
| Clip-bond construction | Increases current handling and thermal conductivity vs. wire-bonded equivalents; supports 130 A IFSM peak surge. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood environments including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing per JESD22. |
| Dual-anode planar die | Reduces parasitic inductance and improves current sharing uniformity; critical for noise-sensitive ECU power supplies. |
| Low-profile 0.95 mm height | Allows integration into space-constrained modules such as transmission control units and ADAS domain controllers. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Supply | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-4EY20 | Same 200 V / 4 A rating but TO-277 package; trr = 35 ns; VF = 890 mV @ 4 A, 25 °C; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Lacks automotive qualification; larger footprint and higher thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) ≈ 100 K/W). | Preferred only for non-automotive industrial supplies where cost outweighs size and qualification needs. |
| ON Semiconductor MUR420G | 200 V / 4 A; DO-201AD package; trr = 50 ns; VF = 950 mV @ 4 A, 25 °C; AEC-Q101 not claimed. | Through-hole mounting; slower recovery increases switching loss above 100 kHz; no clip-bond thermal advantage. | Suitable for legacy board designs requiring through-hole compatibility, but not for new SMD automotive platforms. |
Compared with VS-4EY20 and MUR420G, PNE20040EPE-QZ offers superior thermal performance via CFP15B clip-bond packaging, tighter trr distribution, lower VF at elevated temperature, and full AEC-Q101 compliance-making it the only qualified SMD solution for next-generation ECU and ADAS power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for PNE20040EPE-QZ?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175 °C, validated per AEC-Q101 test conditions. Derating curves in the datasheet show VR remains at 200 V up to Tj = 125 °C on standard FR4, dropping to 140 V at 175 °C with Rth(j-sp) = 1.2 K/W cooling.
Does PNE20040EPE-QZ support reflow soldering, and what is the recommended profile?
Yes-it is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020. The recommended stencil thickness is 0.125 mm, with solder land dimensions of 4.86 mm × 1.17 mm for the cathode tab and 0.75 mm × 2.13 mm for each anode. Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds.
How does the dual-anode configuration improve performance over single-anode rectifiers?
The A1/A2 terminals provide two parallel conduction paths that reduce effective series inductance by ~30% versus single-anode equivalents, suppress ringing in high-dI/dt freewheeling, and improve current sharing uniformity across the die-critical for EMI-sensitive automotive power rails.
Is PNE20040EPE-QZ pin-compatible with other CFP15B rectifiers?
Yes-the CFP15B (SOT1289B) outline is standardized across Nexperia's high-current rectifier portfolio. Pin 1 = A1, Pin 2 = A2, Pin 3 = K is consistent; however, electrical parameters (trr, VF, IR) differ significantly between part numbers, so functional substitution requires full validation.
