ES2C-13-F

Single Diodes Overview

The ES2C-13-F is a surface-mount fast recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage (Vrrm) of 150 V and a maximum average forward rectified current (If) of 2 A. The device exhibits a typical peak reverse recovery time (trr) of 25 ns, ensuring rapid switching performance. It is housed in the DO-214AC (SMA) package with two pins. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current (Ifsm) of 50 A, a maximum forward voltage (Vf) of 920 mV at 2 A, and a maximum reverse leakage current (Ir) of 350 μA. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Fast recovery operation with a typical reverse recovery time of 25 ns for efficient high-frequency switching.
• Glass passivated die construction provides mechanical stability and protection against external physical stresses.
• Designed for surface mount applications using the compact DO-214AC (SMA) package.
• Capable of handling high surge currents up to 50 A for robust transient protection.

Single Diodes Applications

• High-frequency switching power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in DC-DC converters
• Polarity protection circuits

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as historical data indicates this part number may have been produced under the DiodesZetex brand prior to corporate integration. Confirm that the ordering suffix '-13-F' corresponds to the standard tape-and-reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 directives if environmental regulations apply to the final product deployment.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 150 V blocking capability and 2 A continuous current rating are required in a small surface-mount footprint. The 25 ns reverse recovery time makes it suitable for applications demanding faster switching than standard rectifiers but where ultra-fast specifications are not critical. Compare against the ES2D-13-F variant if a higher voltage rating of 200 V is necessary for the circuit design.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to the ES2CA series of super-fast rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. It shares the same DO-214AC package and 2 A current rating as other members of the family, differentiated primarily by their voltage ratings. The ES2C specifically targets the 150 V market segment, offering a balance between conduction losses and switching speed for general-purpose power electronics.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

The ES2DA-13-F serves as a direct functional substitute within the same package, offering identical electrical characteristics except for a higher 200 V reverse voltage rating. Designers should verify that the increased voltage margin does not negatively impact thermal performance or cost constraints in the existing layout.
