PMEG6010CPASX

Overview

The PMEG6010CPASX is a planar Schottky barrier rectifier in a common cathode configuration, encapsulated in an ultra-thin DFN2020D-3 (SOT1061D) leadless SMD plastic package. It features an integrated guard ring for stress protection and visible solderable side pads. Key electrical parameters include a maximum reverse voltage of 60 V and an average forward current of 1 A per diode. The forward voltage is typically 490 mV with a maximum of 540 mV at 1 A. Reverse current is limited to 100 µA at 60 V. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current catalog to ensure correct packaging and marking codes. Confirm that the non-automotive qualification status aligns with the target application requirements, as automotive-grade alternatives exist within the same product family. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compliance with the latest thermal and electrical specifications before finalizing component selection.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a compact footprint with efficient thermal dissipation via the exposed cathode pad. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the DFN2020D-3 dimensions and utilizes the standard footprint for optimal solder joint reliability. Consider the non-automotive qualification when evaluating long-term supply stability and environmental robustness compared to qualified automotive variants.

Part Context

This device belongs to Nexperia's PMEG series of low forward voltage Schottky barrier rectifiers. It is designed for general-purpose switching and rectification tasks where space constraints and efficiency are critical. The DFN2020D-3 package represents a modern evolution from traditional leaded packages, offering improved thermal performance and automated assembly compatibility for high-volume consumer electronics manufacturing.

Replacement Considerations

For automotive applications, consider the PMEG6010CPAQ which holds AEC-Q101 qualification. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when substituting with other dual Schottky diodes in similar packages.
