ES3C-13-F

Single Diodes Overview

The ES3C-13-F is a fast recovery rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, designed for surface-mount applications in the SMC (DO-214AB) package. It features a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 150 V and an average forward rectified current of 3 A. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 900 mV at 3 A and a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 150 V. Key electrical characteristics include a peak forward surge current rating of 100 A and a fast reverse recovery time of 25 ns. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging format, such as cut tape or reel quantities. Confirm RoHS compliance status and REACH SVHC declarations against current regulatory requirements. Ensure the manufacturer part number corresponds exactly to the Diodes Incorporated specification sheet to avoid substitution errors during assembly.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-phase rectifier with fast recovery characteristics is required in an SMC package. The 150 V rating and 3 A current capacity define its operational limits. Consider the 25 ns reverse recovery time for efficiency in high-speed switching topologies compared to standard recovery alternatives.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the ES3 series of surface-mount rectifiers from Diodes Incorporated. The series offers various voltage ratings within the same SMC footprint to simplify supply chain management. The ES3C variant specifically provides the 150 V blocking capability within this standardized package family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering equivalent SMC packaged fast recovery rectifiers rated at 150 V and 3 A. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substituting to ensure circuit performance remains within design specifications.
