ES3F

Single Diodes Overview

The ES3F is a super fast recovery rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a maximum average forward rectified current of 3 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage rating of 300 V. The device exhibits a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 100 A at 8.3 ms single half-sine-wave. Its maximum reverse leakage current is specified as 5 µA at the rated DC blocking voltage. The component utilizes a DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package and offers a typical reverse recovery time of 35 ns.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Super fast recovery characteristics for high-frequency switching applications
• Surface mount construction in a compact SMC package
• High surge current capability for robust operation

Single Diodes Applications

• High frequency rectification circuits
• DC to DC converter output rectifiers
• Free-wheeling diodes in power supplies

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation explicitly as Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, as other vendors produce components with identical part numbers. Confirm the specific suffix codes against official datasheets to ensure correct packaging and compliance attributes. Cross-reference the DO-214AB package dimensions with your PCB footprint requirements prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3 A current rating and 300 V blocking voltage are required in a surface-mount form factor. The 35 ns reverse recovery time makes it suitable for applications demanding faster switching speeds than standard rectifiers. Ensure the operating junction temperature range aligns with the thermal design constraints of the target equipment.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the ES3x series of super fast recovery rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series provides various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling and package specifications. It serves as a surface-mount alternative to through-hole rectifiers in modern electronic designs requiring reduced board space.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include Vishay General Semiconductor ES3F-M3/9AT and Galaxy Microelectronics ES3D. Verify that replacement parts match the 3 A current rating, 300 V voltage rating, and DO-214AB package outline before integration.
