PMEG3020EPAS-QX

Single Diodes Overview

The PMEG3020EPAS-QX is a planar Schottky barrier rectifier with an integrated guard ring for stress protection, encapsulated in an ultra-thin DFN2020D-3 (SOT1061D) leadless SMD plastic package. It features visible and solderable side pads suitable for Automatic Optical Inspection. Key electrical parameters include a maximum reverse voltage of 30 V and an average forward current of 2 A. The forward voltage is typically 410 mV at 2 A, with a maximum of 470 mV. Reverse current is typically 435 µA at 30 V.

• Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS)
• Free-wheeling application
• Reverse polarity protection

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '-QX' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm automotive qualification status and reel packaging details. The base part PMEG3020EPAS is explicitly noted as non-automotive qualified in the datasheet revision history; ensure the '-Q' variant meets required automotive standards if applicable. Confirm package version SOT1061D matches design requirements.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a compact, thermally efficient Schottky rectifier with low forward voltage drop. The exposed cathode pad facilitates heat dissipation, making it suitable for power-dense designs. Ensure the PCB footprint accommodates the DFN2020D-3 dimensions and utilizes the side-wettable flanks for reliable solder joint inspection via AOI.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the PMEG series of low VF Schottky barrier rectifiers from Nexperia. It utilizes clip-bond technology for high power capability within a small form factor. The series is designed for surface-mount assembly, offering reduced PCB area requirements compared to traditional packages while maintaining robust performance in low-voltage environments.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

PMEG3020EPAS: Non-automotive qualified equivalent without the -Q suffix. PMEG3020BEP-Q: Automotive qualified alternative in SOD128 package. PMEG3050EP: Higher current (5 A) option in SOD128 package.
