ES3AHE3/57T

Single Diodes Overview

The ES3AHE3/57T is a standard recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a 100V maximum repetitive reverse voltage and supports a continuous forward current of 3.0A. The component utilizes the DO-214AB (SMA) surface-mount package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.15V at rated current, a peak forward surge current rating of 100A, and a typical reverse leakage current of 10µA. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /57T corresponds to the required tape-and-reel packaging configuration before ordering. Confirm that the AEC-Q101 qualification status matches your application requirements, as this variant may differ from automotive-grade equivalents. Ensure the DO-214AB footprint aligns with your PCB design guidelines. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official datasheets to confirm the exact electrical specifications and compliance standards.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3A standard recovery rectifier with a 100V blocking voltage is required in an SMA package. Consider the 1.15V forward voltage drop for efficiency calculations in low-voltage applications. Evaluate the 25µs reverse recovery time against switching frequency requirements. Compare performance metrics with alternative Vishay S3 series variants if higher voltage ratings or different recovery speeds are needed.

Single Diodes Part Context

This device belongs to Vishay's ES3 series of high-current surface-mount rectifiers. The series provides reliable performance for general-purpose applications requiring robust surge handling. The HE3 designation indicates the use of Vishay's Hyperfast III technology, which offers improved thermal performance and lower forward voltage compared to standard silicon alternatives. This family is designed for automated assembly processes.
