PMEG6020ELRX is a 60V, 2A Schottky rectifier in a compact SOD-123W package. While no direct drop-in replacements have been identified, several functional alternatives with different packages exist.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

Candidates are in larger SMA/SMB packages, requiring a mandatory PCB redesign.

Electrical risklow

Most candidates offer superior voltage and current ratings. Check Vf and Ir for your specific application.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, drop-in replacement for PMEG6020ELRX has been found. All candidates require board layout changes due to package differences.

Best replacement path

Use a functional alternative like SS38 or SS5150B, which requires a PCB redesign for the larger package but offers superior electrical ratings.

Main risk

Physical incompatibility. The target's SOD-123W package is much smaller than the candidates' SMA/SMB packages.
