Is there a pin-compatible replacement for PMEG6030EP,115?

No, a pin-compatible (drop-in) replacement for PMEG6030EP,115 has not been identified. All reviewed alternatives use different, larger packages (SMA or SMC) that are not physically compatible with the SOD-128 footprint.

What risks should I check before replacing PMEG6030EP,115?

Before replacing, check three key risks: 1) Package Mismatch: All alternatives require a PCB redesign. 2) Forward Voltage (Vf): Ensure the replacement's Vf meets your efficiency needs, as some have higher values. 3) Thermal Performance: A different package will dissipate heat differently.

PMEG6030EP,115 Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | Nexperia USA Inc.

PMEG6030EP,115 is a 60V, 3A AEC-Q101 qualified Schottky rectifier in a compact SOD-128 package. While no direct drop-in replacements are available due to the unique package, several strong functional alternatives exist that require a board redesign.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

Target SOD-128 vs. candidate SMA/SMC packages. Not a drop-in replacement.

Electrical risklow

Strong electrical matches like STPS5L60S-FS exist, but some candidates have higher forward voltage (Vf).

Sourcing risklow

Multiple functional alternatives are available from various manufacturers.

Can it be replaced directly?

No, there is no direct, drop-in replacement for PMEG6030EP,115 among the candidates reviewed. The primary barrier is the package mismatch, as the target uses a compact SOD-128 while alternatives are in larger SMA or SMC packages.

Best replacement path

For new designs or board revisions, STPS5L60S-FS and SDT5A60SA-13 are strong functional alternatives due to their excellent electrical characteristics, despite requiring a larger package footprint.

Main risk

Package incompatibility is the primary risk, preventing any drop-in substitution and forcing a PCB redesign for any alternative.

Recommended alternatives

Strong electrical alternative from Diodes Inc. with higher current, but in a larger SMA package requiring a new layout.
