ESH2DHE3/5BT

Single Diodes Overview

The ESH2DHE3/5BT is a surface-mount ultrafast plastic rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a glass passivated pellet chip junction and operates in an SMB (DO-214AA) package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 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 25 °C, and a typical reverse recovery time of 25 ns. It withstands a peak forward surge current of 60 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against official documentation to confirm compliance requirements. The HE3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use. Confirm that the /5BT designation corresponds to the correct tape and reel packaging format before procurement. Ensure all technical parameters meet the design specifications for the target application environment.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast switching speeds and low conduction losses in compact surface-mount layouts. The SMB package offers a balance between current handling capacity and board space efficiency. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics when designing heat dissipation strategies for high ambient temperatures or dense PCB layouts.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the ESH2B, ESH2C, and ESH2D series of ultrafast plastic rectifiers from Vishay. These components are engineered for general-purpose rectification and freewheeling duties in modern power conversion topologies. The series provides options for different voltage ratings while maintaining consistent physical dimensions and performance profiles across the family.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include ESH2BHE3/5BT and ESH2CHE3/5BT, which share identical mechanical and electrical footprints but differ in reverse voltage ratings. Verify that any replacement maintains the required 200 V blocking capability and 2 A current rating for the specific circuit application.
