ES2C-E3/52T

Single Diodes Overview

The ES2C-E3/52T is a fast recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward rectified current of 2 A. The device utilizes the SMB (DO-214AA) surface-mount package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 900 mV at 2 A, a typical reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 200 V, and a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current of 50 A. The junction operating temperature range extends from -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Fast recovery rectification technology for efficient switching applications
• Plastic encapsulation utilizing molded epoxy meeting UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings
• High thermal stability with extended junction temperature capability up to 150°C
• Low forward voltage drop to minimize conduction losses

Single Diodes Applications

• High-frequency DC-to-DC converter circuits
• Free-wheeling diode implementations in power supplies
• Reverse polarity protection in electronic systems

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Vishay documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging configurations. Ensure compatibility with RoHS directives if required by the target assembly process. Cross-reference datasheet parameters such as reverse recovery time and thermal resistance with system requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V blocking voltage and 2 A continuous current rating are required in a compact surface-mount form factor. Consider the fast recovery characteristics for high-frequency operation where standard rectifiers may exhibit excessive reverse recovery losses. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified junction temperature limits and ambient conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the ESxxE3 series of fast recovery rectifiers from Vishay. The 'E3' designation indicates compliance with RoHS standards and absence of halogenated flame retardants. The '52T' suffix typically denotes tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly processes within the SMB package family.
