ESH2B-M3/52T

Single Diodes Overview

The ESH2B-M3/52T is a surface-mount ultrafast plastic rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a glass passivated pellet chip junction and is housed in an SMB (DO-214AA) package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 2.0 A. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 0.93 V at 2 A, a maximum DC reverse current of 2.0 µA at rated blocking voltage, and a typical reverse recovery time of 25 ns. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging quantity and delivery mode. Confirm that the M3 suffix indicates compliance with halogen-free, RoHS standards, and JESD 201 class 2 whisker testing requirements. Ensure the base part number aligns with the intended voltage rating before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring fast switching speeds and low conduction losses. The SMB package is suitable for automated placement processes. Consider the thermal resistance values when determining heat dissipation requirements for the application environment.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the ESH2 series of ultrafast plastic rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, such as the ESH2C and ESH2D models. These devices are engineered for surface-mount technology applications where space constraints and high-speed performance are critical design factors.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the ESH2C-M3/52T and ESH2D-M3/52T. These alternatives share identical physical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings.
