PNE20040CPEZ

Overview

The PNE20040CPE is a dual common cathode hyperfast recovery rectifier from Nexperia, rated for 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 2 A average forward current per diode. Encapsulated in the CFP15B (SOT1289B) surface-mounted package, it features a typical height of 0.95 mm and utilizes high-efficiency planar technology with Pt-doped lifetime control. The device achieves a maximum reverse recovery time of 25 ns and low inductance through clip-bond construction.

Feature Summary

• Hyperfast switching capability with reverse recovery times as low as 11 ns under step recovery conditions.
• High power density achieved via clip-bond technology and planar die design within an ultra-thin SMD package.
• Robust thermal management supported by platinum-doped lifetime control and low junction-to-solder point thermal resistance.

Applications

• General-purpose rectification
• Hyperfast switching circuits
• Solenoid control systems
• Piezo injection drivers
• Freewheeling applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging format, such as cut tape or reel quantities, as these details are not defined in the standard product data sheet. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the selected variant matches the required thermal and electrical specifications for the target application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring rapid switching speeds and compact form factors. Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics against the expected ambient temperature and duty cycle to ensure the junction temperature remains within the 175 °C limit. Consider the low inductance benefits for high-frequency operation and verify that the 200 V rating provides adequate margin for the circuit's peak reverse voltage requirements.
