PMEG6020ETP,115 Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

PMEG6020ETP is a type of rectifier and single diode from NXP semiconductors. They are a compromise solution between Schottky diodes and standard rectifier diodes. They provide a cost effective and efficient solution for rectification over a wide range of voltages and current, while also providing reverse voltage protection.

The PMEG6020ETP is a perfect choice for applications that require fast, low-loss performance. This rectifier has a very low on-state voltage drop and has a high rated forward current of 115A. It also provides better performance than standard rectifier diodes and Schottky diodes in terms of surge capability, low leakage current and low temperature, reverse recovery time.

The working principle of the PMEG6020ETP is based on the PN junction. A PN junction is formed by joining a P-type and N-type semiconductor material together. When a P-type and N-type semiconductor material is brought in close contact, a depletion region is formed. This depletion layer has no charge carriers, and as a result, it acts like an insulator, preventing the flow of current. However, when a voltage is applied across the junction, it will create an electric field which will result in the movement of electrons and holes, allowing the current to flow.

Typical applications of PMEG6020ETP are in low voltage switching power supplies, motor control, high frequency battery chargers, automotive and industrial electronics, motor protection, etc. The diode is also suitable for blocking applications as well as reverse battery protection. It is also useful in high frequency applications where faster switching of the diode is required. The diode also exhibits a better performance in high temperature conditions.

The PMEG6020ETP is a great solution for applications that require fast, low loss performance, reverse voltage protection and very low on-state voltage drops. With a rated current of 115A, the PMEG6020ETP is the perfect choice for a wide range of applications.
