ESH3BHE3_A/I

Single Diodes Overview

The ESH3BHE3_A/I is a standard recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a 200 V maximum reverse voltage and a 3 A average forward current rating. The component utilizes a DO-214AB (SMC) surface-mount package. Key electrical parameters include a 900 mV forward voltage at 3 A, a 5 µA reverse leakage current at 200 V, and a 70 pF capacitance at 4 V and 1 MHz. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 175°C and holds AEC-Q101 automotive qualification.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Automotive-grade reliability with AEC-Q101 certification for robust performance in demanding environments.
• High thermal stability supporting operation up to a 175°C junction temperature.
• Surface-mount SMC packaging designed for efficient automated assembly processes.

Single Diodes Applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm exact manufacturing attributes. Confirm AEC-Q101 compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors. Ensure the DO-214AB footprint matches the target PCB design. Validate RoHS3 and REACH regulatory compliance before final integration into production lines.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V blocking capability and 3 A continuous current are required in an SMC package. Consider its 175°C operating limit for high-temperature environments. Evaluate the 900 mV forward voltage drop for efficiency requirements. Compare against other Vishay standard recovery diodes if different voltage ratings are needed.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the ESH3 series of standard recovery rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling and package dimensions. The ESH3B variant specifically targets 200 V applications within this lineup, providing a standardized solution for medium-voltage rectification tasks across industrial and automotive sectors.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult official Vishay documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers. Cross-reference specifications such as peak forward surge current and reverse recovery time when evaluating alternatives. Verify that any replacement maintains the same DO-214AB footprint and thermal characteristics.
