ES2B-M3/5BT

Single Diodes Overview

The ES2B-M3/5BT is a standard recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 2 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. The device utilizes a DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 60 A, a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 1 µA at rated voltage, and a typical junction capacitance of 80 pF at 4 V reverse bias. The component is designed for operation within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Standard recovery rectifier technology optimized for general-purpose power conversion applications
• Surface-mount construction in a compact DO-214AA (SMB) package for automated assembly
• High thermal stability supporting extended operating temperatures up to 175°C

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in AC/DC power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in low-voltage DC-DC converters
• Polarity protection circuits in consumer electronics

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /5BT corresponds to tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's official datasheet or compliance declaration, as environmental markings may vary by production batch. Ensure the supplier provides traceable documentation matching the Vishay part number to avoid counterfeit components.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a 100 V blocking voltage with a 2 A continuous current rating in a surface-mount form factor. Compare against alternative SMB packages if higher voltage ratings are needed, such as the ES2C series. Verify that the standard recovery speed meets the switching frequency requirements of the target application without excessive reverse recovery losses.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the ES2 series of surface-mount standard recovery rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings within the same DO-214AA footprint, allowing designers to maintain consistent board layouts while adjusting voltage specifications. The M3 suffix indicates lead-free termination finish compliant with EU Directive 2015/863.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering DO-214AA 2A 100V standard recovery rectifiers. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure equivalent thermal and electrical ratings before substitution.
