ES2BA M2G

Single Diodes Overview

The ES2BA M2G is a single-element silicon rectifier diode from Taiwan Semiconductor, housed in the SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and an average forward rectified current rating of 2 A. The device exhibits a super fast recovery characteristic with a typical recovery time of 35 ns. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 0.95 V at rated current, a non-repetitive peak surge current capability of 50 A, and a low reverse leakage current of 10 uA. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction chip for enhanced reliability and stability under thermal stress.
• Built-in strain relief mechanism designed to withstand high-temperature soldering conditions during assembly.
• Utilizes molded plastic material classified as UL 94V-0 for flammability safety.
• Compliant with RoHS directives and manufactured using halogen-free compounds.

Single Diodes Applications

• High-frequency switching power supply circuits requiring fast recovery characteristics.
• DC-DC converter stages where compact surface-mount packaging is required.
• General-purpose rectification in consumer electronics and industrial control systems.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M2G' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm compliance with current environmental standards and marking codes. Ensure that the ordering information matches the exact package type and electrical ratings required for the target application design. Cross-reference part numbers with official distributor catalogs to avoid obsolete or discontinued variants.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2 A current rating and 100 V blocking voltage are sufficient for the circuit requirements. The 35 ns recovery time makes it suitable for applications demanding faster switching than standard rectifiers but potentially less extreme than ultra-fast alternatives. Consider the SMA package dimensions for PCB layout constraints and thermal management needs relative to the expected power dissipation.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the ES2x series of surface mount super fast rectifiers produced by Taiwan Semiconductor. The series offers various voltage ratings and current capacities within the same DO-214AC footprint, allowing for design flexibility. The ES2BA variant specifically targets the 100 V, 2 A segment, providing a balance between speed and current handling for efficient power conversion designs.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include ES2BAH M2G or other ES2BA variants with matching electrical specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting with components from different manufacturers. Ensure any replacement maintains the required 35 ns recovery time and 2 A continuous current rating.
