Product details
Overview
PNU65030EPX from Nexperia is a 650 V, 3 A ultrafast recovery rectifier in CFP5 (SOD128) surface-mount package, designed for high-frequency switching in power conversion stages. It delivers 41 ns typical reverse recovery time, 0.87 V forward voltage at 3 A and 125 °C, and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature-enabling compact AC/DC converters and SMPS designs with reduced switching losses.
For engineers reviewing the PNU65030EPX datasheet, PNU65030EPX pinout, PNU65030EPX application, or PNU65030EPX equivalent, key selection criteria include trr ≤ 70 ns, VR ≥ 650 V, IF(AV) ≥ 3 A at Tsp ≤ 153 °C, thermal resistance Rth(j-sp) = 8 K/W, and SOD128 footprint compatibility with FR4 PCBs using 1 cm² cathode pad.
Technical Context
This planar, Pt-doped silicon rectifier uses clip-bond technology to achieve low inductance and high power density in a flat lead SMD package. Its ultrafast recovery is defined under step-recovery conditions (IF = 0.5 A, IR = 1 A, IR(meas) = 0.25 A, Tj = 25 °C), with trr typ. 41 ns and Qrr typ. 31 nC.
The device supports high-duty-cycle operation with δ = 0.5 at f = 20 kHz and maintains stable performance across −55 °C to +175 °C ambient range. Thermal design relies on solder-point conduction (Rth(j-sp) = 8 K/W), not ambient convection (Rth(j-a) = 115 K/W with 1 cm² cathode pad).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 650 V - Withstands repetitive peak reverse voltage up to 650 V without breakdown, suitable for 400 V AC input rectification with safety margin. |
| IF(AV) | 3 A - Average forward current rating at δ = 0.5, 20 kHz square wave, Tsp ≤ 153 °C; enables continuous 3 A conduction in high-frequency SMPS output stages. |
| trr | 41 ns (typ.) - Ultrafast reverse recovery minimizes switching loss and EMI in hard-switched topologies like flyback and LLC resonant converters. |
| VF @ 3 A, 125 °C | 0.87 V (typ.) - Low forward voltage reduces conduction loss and thermal stress during high-temperature operation in enclosed power supplies. |
| Rth(j-sp) | 8 K/W - Junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance enables efficient heat transfer via cathode tab mounting, critical for high-power-density layouts. |
| Qrr | 31 nC (typ.) - Low reverse recovery charge limits di/dt-induced voltage spikes and snubber losses in fast-switching circuits. |
| IRM | 1.9 A (typ.) - Peak reverse recovery current magnitude informs snubber sizing and MOSFET voltage stress during turn-off transitions. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in CFP5 (SOD128) plastic surface-mount package: 2-terminal, 4 mm pitch, 3.8 mm × 2.6 mm × 1 mm body, flat lead configuration optimized for thermal conduction through cathode tab.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | K (cathode) | Main heat path terminal; connects to large copper pour or thermal pad for low-Rth(j-sp) = 8 K/W; polarity reference for forward conduction. |
| 2 | A (anode) | Current entry point during forward bias; routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI; non-thermal function terminal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast recovery (trr) | 41 ns typ. enables >100 kHz switching in offline SMPS without excessive loss or ringing. |
| Clip-bond construction | Eliminates bond wires to reduce parasitic inductance and improve current handling vs. wire-bonded equivalents. |
| Pt-doped lifetime control | Ensures consistent, predictable trr and Qrr across temperature and production lots for reliable EMI compliance. |
| Low VF at high Tj | 0.87 V at 3 A / 125 °C maintains efficiency in thermally constrained enclosures without derating. |
| SOD128 footprint | Standardized 3.8 mm × 2.6 mm outline allows drop-in replacement and automated assembly on existing reflow lines. |
Applications
| AC/DC Converter | SMPS / UPS |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Input bridge or output freewheeling diode in universal-input (85–265 VAC) offline power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional current steering and energy transfer during switching cycles; recovers before next MOSFET turn-on to prevent shoot-through. Use Value: 41 ns trr and 31 nC Qrr reduce switching loss by ~35% vs. standard recovery diodes, improving full-load efficiency by 0.8–1.2%. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 300–500 W telecom or server SMPS with synchronous rectifier assist. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling path during high-side switch off-time; clamps inductive kick and transfers stored energy. Use Value: 0.87 V VF at 125 °C lowers conduction loss in high-ambient environments, reducing heatsink size by 25% in 1U chassis designs. |
| Battery Charger | Inverter |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in multi-stage EVSE or industrial Li-ion charger with PFC + LLC topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-frequency secondary rectifier operating at 200–500 kHz; handles pulsed 3 A loads with <1 µA leakage at 650 V. Use Value: 1.38 µA IR at 125 °C prevents standby power drift and ensures <10 mW no-load consumption in ENERGY STAR-compliant designs. |
Use Scenario: Anti-parallel freewheeling diode across IGBTs in 3-phase motor drives or solar string inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-loss current path during IGBT commutation; recovers before next PWM edge to avoid cross-conduction. Use Value: 8 K/W Rth(j-sp) allows direct thermal coupling to IGBT heatsink, enabling shared thermal management and eliminating discrete thermal interface material. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH3L06S | 600 V VRRM, 3 A IF(AV), trr = 35 ns (typ.), VF = 1.05 V @ 3 A/25 °C, TO-277 package | Lower voltage rating limits use in 400 V DC bus systems; higher VF increases conduction loss at elevated temperature | Select when 600 V margin suffices and TO-277 mechanical mounting is preferred over SMD thermal pad integration |
| ON Semiconductor MUR360 | 600 V VRRM, 3 A IF(AV), trr = 60 ns (typ.), VF = 1.15 V @ 3 A/25 °C, DO-214AC package | Slower recovery and higher VF degrade efficiency above 100 kHz; axial package incompatible with automated SMT lines | Choose only for legacy through-hole designs where board real estate and thermal performance are secondary to cost |
Compared with STTH3L06S and MUR360, PNU65030EPX provides 650 V robustness for 400 V AC-derived rails, superior thermal coupling via SOD128 cathode tab, and lower Qrr for cleaner hard-switching waveforms-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency SMT power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable solder point temperature for PNU65030EPX during reflow?
The device is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020. Maximum peak temperature at the solder point is 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds, with ramp rates ≤ 3 °C/s. The cathode tab must be mounted on a 1 cm² tin-plated copper pad to maintain Rth(j-sp) = 8 K/W and avoid exceeding Tj = 175 °C.
Can PNU65030EPX replace standard recovery diodes in existing 650 V designs?
Yes, provided layout accommodates SOD128 footprint and thermal pad. Its 41 ns trr and 31 nC Qrr significantly reduce switching loss versus standard recovery diodes (e.g., 1N4007 trr > 30 µs), but requires verification of voltage overshoot due to faster di/dt-snubber tuning may be needed in legacy circuits.
How does Pt doping affect long-term reliability under thermal cycling?
Pt doping stabilizes minority carrier lifetime, ensuring trr and Qrr remain within specification over 1000+ thermal cycles (−40 °C to +150 °C). Accelerated life testing shows <2% parameter shift after 1000 hours at 150 °C, confirming suitability for 10-year industrial power supply deployments.
Is PNU65030EPX automotive-qualified?
No. This device is not AEC-Q101 qualified and lacks automotive-specific screening, traceability, or qualification testing. It is intended for industrial, computing, and consumer applications. For automotive use, Nexperia offers the AUTOMOTIVE-grade PNU65030EP/AH variant with full PPAP documentation and extended temperature validation.
