ES3FHE3_A/I

Single Diodes Overview

The ES3FHE3_A/I is a standard rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a single configuration housed in the DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package. The device is rated for a maximum average forward rectified current of 3 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 300 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 100 A, a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA, and a maximum DC forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at specified conditions. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Glass-passivated junction structure designed for high reliability applications
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Vishay documentation to confirm exact packaging and environmental compliance status. Ensure the DO-214AB footprint matches the target PCB layout. Confirm that the 300V rating and 3A current capacity align with the circuit requirements before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount solution is required for general-purpose rectification with high thermal stability. The DO-214AB package offers robust mechanical mounting. Consider the 175 °C maximum junction temperature for high-temperature environments. Verify that the 3 A continuous current rating meets the load demands without excessive derating.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the ES3 series of glass-passivated junction rectifiers from Vishay. These components utilize a Superectifier structure to ensure cavity-free junctions and high reliability. The series is compliant with RoHS directives and WEEE standards, supporting environmentally conscious manufacturing processes.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay ES3 series variants such as ES3F-E3/9AT or ES3F-M3/9AT for identical electrical specifications. Verify package compatibility and lead-free status when substituting.
