ES1CHE3/5AT

Single Diodes Overview

The ES1CHE3/5AT is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 150 V and an average rectified forward current (Io) of 1 A. The component utilizes the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage (Vf) of 920 mV at 1 A, a reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 600 V, and a junction capacitance of 10 pF at 4 V, 1 MHz. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction in a compact DO-214AC (SMA) package for automated assembly
• Standard recovery characteristics suitable for general-purpose rectification applications
• Low forward voltage drop to minimize conduction losses
• Wide operating junction temperature range for thermal stability

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose rectification in power supply circuits
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load switching
• DC-DC converter output stages

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Vishay documentation to ensure correct packaging configuration. Confirm that the requested variant matches the required lead time and availability status. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and traceability before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 150 V reverse voltage rating and 1 A continuous current capacity are required in a surface-mount form factor. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -55°C to 155°C junction temperature limits. Verify that the standard recovery speed meets the circuit's switching frequency requirements without necessitating faster alternatives.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the ES1 series of single diodes from Vishay General Semiconductor. The 'E3' designation indicates compliance with RoHS directives and absence of halogenated substances. The '5AT' suffix typically denotes tape-and-reel packaging for high-volume surface-mount production lines.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 150 V, 1 A SMA-packaged diodes such as the 1N5817 or SS14, provided pinout compatibility and electrical ratings match the original design specifications.
