ES2BHR5G

Single Diodes Overview

The ES2BHR5G is a surface-mount standard recovery rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a single diode configuration housed in the DO-214AA (SMA) package. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 2 A and withstands a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 A, a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 1 uA at rated voltage, and a typical forward voltage drop of 1.15 V. The component is designed for general-purpose rectification applications requiring reliable performance within specified thermal limits.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R5G' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure that the ordering information matches the exact part number variant required for your bill of materials. Cross-reference with the latest datasheet to validate compliance standards and environmental certifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2 A current rating and 50 V reverse voltage capability are sufficient for the circuit design. The SMA package is suitable for space-constrained surface-mount layouts. Consider the standard recovery time if the application does not require ultra-fast switching speeds. Verify that the thermal management strategy accommodates the forward voltage drop and ambient temperature constraints.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the ES2x series of surface-mount super fast rectifiers produced by Taiwan Semiconductor. While the series typically emphasizes fast recovery characteristics, this specific variant is designated as a standard recovery rectifier. It shares the common DO-214AA footprint with other devices in the family, facilitating standardized PCB design practices across different voltage and speed requirements within the same product line.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution lists for direct equivalents. Generic replacements must match the 2 A current rating, 50 V reverse voltage, and DO-214AA package dimensions. Verify that any substitute diode maintains comparable forward voltage and reverse leakage characteristics to ensure circuit performance parity.
